Restaurants in Edinburgh

“Great local bar! Pool table, live music, great jukebox and amazing bar staff! Jenna's a great bar manager & Kerri and the rest of the bar staff give a great service and you couldn't ask for a better atmosphere. Would recommend to everyone, any age.”

“I have ordered three times from them and I guess this is the best time to write a review for Curry Heights in Inverkeithing. The food is delicious, portions are great and prices are reasonable. What impressed me is the consistency, three in a row and all time food was spot on!”

“My partner and I went to this stunning cafe for breakfast, food was amazing this was our second visit. People are lovely, We will be going again soon.”

“Food was absolutely brilliant, the staff were very friendly and really helpful. If it wasn't for a works night out going on it would be another 5 stars. Would go back in a heartbeat.”

“Excellent Turkish cuisine tasted. The lamb skewers and lamb hearts is perfectly done. Not so much about on the soups. The bread/pitas is excellent.”

“Absolutely my favourite place to eat. The food is beautifully prepared the atmosphere is fantastic with a very authentic French feel. The staff cannot do enough and even when the restaurant is busy they remain attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend.”

“Booked in for Lunch with my Mum and Dad. Unfortunately my Mum was ill and could not come. I am glad we still went along. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Between the two of us we had 6 Courses and had no fault with any of them. Would recommend " The Crown Harburn ". Definitely coming back.”

“Best cafe in Edinburgh with lovely, brilliant staff and amazing breakfasts. We ate here every day of our trip. P.S thank you for making my birthday weekend so special and thanks for the cake - yum !! We will be back.”

“Popped in after the gym this morning. Picked up a couple of nutella cookies to take home and wow, they are the divine. By far the best cookie I've had in Scotland. Will be back”

“I N C R E D I B L E. Booked us an Afternoon Tea experience, and then we were able to have a whiskey in the Whiskey Room — absolutely perfect time! The service is impeccable, the property is beautiful, and every detail is noted — truly, flawless! Thank you for a lovely splurge and excellent date afternoon.”

“The food was incredible, the service was very efficient and fast. The space was cosy and quaint. I ordered chicken chinese mushroom udon noodles with a fried egg and they were absolutely amazing, probably the best I have ever had. I was so impressed with the portion and it left me full for the rest of the day!”

“Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. Ingredients were fresh and of great quality. Amazing value for money, really filling and nutritious. Was nice to get a takeaway wrap to eat in the nearby park as there wasn't much space inside.”

“Excellent little pub in New Town. Usually very busy on weekends and the odd weekday. Best to head as early as reasonable for a pint. Nice selection of ales as well as lagers, IPAs etc on tap. Very cosy inside so be prepared to stand and wait for a seat. Also met tbe previous owner, and if they're still coming you know its a great pub. Fires on in the winter, with a selection of books and games in 'cosy' the back room. Great pub, always love coming here.”

“I don't usually eat black pudding but I really like it on the Braveheart. Absolutely great brick oven pizza! Great service too!”

“Came across this gem whilst trying to find somewhere to eat whilst away with work. Hadn't eaten all day and ended up having a fantastic pizza. Staff were attentive and the vibe was nice. Definitely visit!”

“Can't believe I've never came here before. Been seriously missing out. This is hands down the best and most authentic neopoliton pizza in Edinburgh. It's not even a competition. The dough was perfectly cooked. Light. Crispy. Tasty. The quality of the bread in general was just amazing. The atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant was great too. Perfect for a date night, or special occasion. If you are a pizza guy like me then this is a must visit in Edinburgh. I would imagine that you will be as impressed as i was. 10/10”

“I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the staff are exceptionally friendly. Definitely the best dining experience I’ve had in Edinburgh — every detail feels thoughtfully taken care of. So happy to find a fully vegan Italian place like this!”

“After travelling for 4 months, we were hanging for some good Japanese food. This place was everything we wanted. Fresh sashimi, great sushi rolls everything was excellent. The restaurant has beautiful decor and the service was attentive. Would highly recommend.”

“Excellent sushi, some of the best I had in Scotland. Smallish sized place with some nice window seats. Staff was attentive and friendly. They kept the water coming too, a bonus on a hot day. Rolls were on the large side too, so quite filling. Well worth the stop.”

“I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! The chicken noodles were absolutely delicious, best in my life. The staff who served us was incredibly kind and attentive, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! Greetings from Argentina!”

“First time here for a solo treat for myself, I was warmly welcomed. As I looked through the menu, it was a tough decision to decide what to eat. I asked for help and Tyson (my waiter) kindly helped advise me make a decision. Didn’t take long, service was quick. Overall delighted with my Ramen, I went for the Steak Takati! I recommend if you like a spicy kick! Very pleased. Thank you!”

“I can’t recommend this place enough❗️ As a big foodie who’s fortunate enough to try new restaurants weekly, claiming this as my number one pick for 2025 is a huge deal. The flavours blend perfectly, every single dish is absolutely mind-blowing, and the portions are ideal for sharing. The atmosphere is vibrant yet cosy, and the customer service is simply exceptional. If you’re looking for a dining experience that truly stands out, this is the place to go!”

“Wow.. where do you start when everything was just perfect? The restaurant is set in what originally was a fine house with high ceilings, beautiful ceiling cornices, and a twist of Scotland added to the lovely Chinese decor. Staff... wonderful, very attentive, and you can tell they are proud of what they do, and really made it a nice evening. Food... OMG, probably the best I have had, certainly cannot think of a better one. I can highly recommend the King Prawn Satay. Just perfect on the spice heat, and soo delicious. My wife said her beef Lar Chee was really good as well. This restaurant is certainly worth travelling for, can highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely a 5 * experience. I only added photos of our desserts.. photos wouldn't do the starters and mains any justice. Thank you Cool Jade !”

“Lahcen was absolutely amazing, served me both times I went. Very helpful and kind. I definitely recommend trying Sofia's out, the food is delicious and the hospitality is 5*”

“Great Greek food in Edinburgh! Family owned spot with authentic Greek food options and large portions. Everything we ordered was very flavorful and felt like being in Greece again. We chose the bread basket, tzatziki, pita pita (grilled chicken fillet with pita bread) and the yaourtlou. The bread was nicely grilled with a good covering of olive oil, salt and oregano. Addicting! The tzatziki was as they serve it in Greece and definitely a must order for the table. The chicken fillet was tender and very flavorful, served with thick cut fries. Finally the yaourtlou was delicious with a good serving of red tomato sauce, yogurt, herbs and spices with a large soutzoukaki portion. Happy to have come across this place while in Edinburgh!”

“Really enjoyed our visit to The Pakora Bar! Great haggis pakora and then we moved on to palak paneer and Punjabi lamb curry which were also fabulous. After a day of pub crawling, it genuinely was such a pleasure to stop by this restaurant with lovely staff, a great mango lassi beer suggestion that we also really loved and flavour for days! Can’t recommend them enough :)”

“We stopped by Tuk Tuk for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent — friendly and attentive from start to finish. We shared the chaat as an appetizer, which was fresh and full of flavor, and then had Dal Makhni with garlic naan for our main course. The portion sizes were generous, and the dal was perfectly creamy and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food!”

“This place was incredible for the food and service. The best Thai food we have ever had in the UK. Highly recommend. Only a couple of pictures as too busy demolishing the food!”

“Great service, super attentive and friendly. Yummy food, decent portions and very good price. Very happy all and all. Would look to go back for sure! Only small thing is that Pad Thai was on the sweeter side, but totally understand it is done differently from place to place.”
