Restaurants in Musselburgh

“My brother and I actually visited twice last week such was the quality of the food and service. I tempt fate about once a year and go for a vindaloo, it was superb. My brother had the mixed grill selection and all was beautifully cooked and flavoured. We had a starter selection in advance and all was tasty. A couple of Gurkha beers too just for research purposes! The 2 waiters were most friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend.”

“Had such an amazing experience here tonight. Food was amazing, fresh and hot on arrival. It was my birthday, they sang happy birthday to me and brought me out a slice of cake! The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond. Great service! Thanks again for an amazing night. We will definitely return in future! Megan, Oliver and Janette x”

“We stopped off on the way to Dunbar. A very pretty harbour leading to a lovely soft sandy beach. Great for dogs and children alike. A nice walk along and safe for our dogs to run for a little. We only saw a take away van on the beach itself for food and ice-cream. Would visit again.”

“Caprice is hands down the best Italian restaurant in East Lothian. The food never fails to impress, especially the pizza. Amazing value for money. Our waitress Jade was phenomenal, and offered us an espresso on the house after our meal. Would recommend!!”

“Had a great time here! Everything was great as expected. Only downside is that getting a Taxi might take a little, so if you are in a hurry plan for some extra minutes. The staff is realy helpful with this. Breakfast was also good! Nothing too fancy but there are enough options to please everyone”

“It’s wonderful to have well spiced and steaming hot Singaporean style rice noodles on a chilly evening. It’s of such a generous portion, definitely value for money. The photo doesn’t do it justice. The taste is authentic, surely helps with my homesickness.”

“This is a fish and chip shop that serves food. We had the small fish tea that was just the right size for an early dinner. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The shop/restaurant was very clean and the staff appeared to follow good hygiene practices. Would definitely recommend.”

“We order 3 pizzas and all good all staffs are very kind and helpful”

“Great cakes and filled rolls for lunch”

“Ordered Salt/Chilli Chips & Duck with Shoots/Chestnuts for collection- was not disappointed. The duck was firm and tasty, paired vegetables and a delicate sauce- the combination tasted real and had a silken texture to it all. As I collected, it was all still piping hot throughout and fresh. I've had chips on a takeout many times, and I have to admit that these were the best Salt/Chilli chips I've ever had (though they often go under the name of Salt/Pepper but they're the same thing.) Collecting has its bonuses- they were freshly made fries with a nice crispy snap to them- none of that soggy stuff you often get on a takeout. All in all, damned delicious and I'll definitely come back in the future next time I order a takeaway. (FYI I really do recommend the duck with shoots/chestnuts- it's not sweet, it's very much savoury, and to me at least it felt as though it didn't have many additives that you might often find in a takeout- no absurd sugaring, not overly seasoned, just genuinely made homely food.)”

“We had a fabulous meal here recently. The service was second to none (provided us with a table for 4, even when there was only 2 of us as it was so busy!) the staff were attentive and the speed of the drinks/starter/main was about the best I've experienced. Recommend the Chateaubriand, sides of potato Dauphinoise, Mac and cheese, seasoned steak chips and chilli broccolini. We also had the vegetarian Empanadas as a starter which were also delicious. A well priced selection of red wines to compliment as well.”

“Great service absolutely beautiful hotel and grounds. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. It is also only 8 min from the train station to Edinburg. Little tip....parking is free at the station and easy to navigate. Train is the way to go with an off and on all day tour bus pass.”

“Great service and every dishes we ordered were done perfectly. Classy decoration yet given us a homey cozy vibe. Highly recommend.”

“One of my favourite restaurants around Edinburgh. Their food is delicious and the service is friendly. We had pizza, pasta and salads. 10/10!”

“This gem of a place is worth making the trip for. Some amazing regulars, like the Giros. Daily & weekly specials are always special indeed. You will not be disappointed. Jennifer is such a welcoming host and her cheery face adds to the whole experience. This is a ‘no regrets’ visit - you will want to got back !”

“Cannot fault anything absolutely fantastic food and the service was first class. Lovely inside since being revamped. I honestly cannot wait to go back I think it is my favourite restaurant. Cannot recommend highly enough”

“First visited 3 years ago when in Scotland on holiday had to visit again worth the trip. One of the best places to eat that I been to. Called again 2024 for lunch always have to visit when we are nearby on holiday. Very friendly staff always make a fuss of the dog and food as good as ever. My wife said she just wanted a salad and I ended up with half due to the size of it.”

“Wonderful tasty food. Service was second to none - Peter and his colleagues were top class professionals, friendly, polite and without doubt a key part of the relaxed ambience here. We had dishes from the lunch menu, and aside of there being plenty of lovely food, was also excellent value. If you've not been here, booking a table is recommended! The whole experience was so enjoyable, and despite us living in Glasgow, we intend to visit again. Well done to all the staff.”

“Very nice restaurant. Went for the reviews and wasn't disappointed. We had lunch during the week and got to enjoy the lunch menu (2 courses for £23!) Don't be tricked by the "wee fish dinner" (see photo) it was big enough!! Had mussels as a starters and once again much bigger than assumed and delicious! Definitely recommend”

“Food is always consistently good. There's a big longer wait than you'd find at another fast food place but the food is very much worth it. Just plan ahead for the wait or order in the app :)”

“Brilliant atmosphere at the curry night, service great and so friendly. Will definitely be back and highly recommend trying out. I'm trying the breakie next. I've been told it's lovely!”

“The cafe was lovely, atmosphere and decor felt inviting. The staff were always smiling quick and ready to help. The food is was and always will some of the best fish and chips I've eaten. Not exaggerating. If I was from the area I would certainly be eating regularly however I'll have to wait for my next holiday. 10/10 and some more, don't pass by without trying.”

“Went for the Sunday roast hear lots about it. What can i say the meat cooked perfectly, crunchy potatoes soft inside..with percent carrots and a wee treat cheesy cauliflower.we shared sticky toffee..yummy lush custard to...luca was so kind and attentve as was Frida I think was her name..highly recommend here.. great staff, fabulous food at a great price.. Then a wee drink and chat in the bar. A really great afternoon”

“5 stars for the food and service. Haddock and chips lovely, chicken burger top notch. The chicken was unadulterated, didn't come covered in a million and one spices or topped with some chilli relish rubbish, it was great, just what I wanted. Nice piece of chicken, mayonnaise, salad and gerkins. The menu said fries and we were expecting the usual skinny things you tend to get when it says that but what we received was really good chips. Nice pot of tea, very friendly and helpful service. Looking forward to returning soon.”

“I recently stayed in the hotel attached to this pub and it was a great find, The pub and restaurant are not overly busy but I do advise booking in advance on the Greene king app, the bar staff are efficient and friendly, and the bar is stocked with plenty of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The food is reasonably priced and a good range of choice, but the best thing about the pub is the waitress Melissa she is bright bubbly and a genuine ray of light, she runs her tables efficiently, knows the menu inside out and engages with her customers if you do a star of the month she should have it.”

“Wow! Been there 3 years and only tried it for the first time last night! Best fish we've ever had ie fresh, thick and lovely! Enjoyed it so much we had it again tonigh! That must be saying something! Well done !”

“Now as a bit of an expert about takeaways if I say so myself. Mario's Definitely serves the best doner kebab in the whole of Scotland. After doing a bit of research I found out they are one of 3 shops in the whole of Edinburgh who actually make the doner in house and I can say without a doubt it's the best.”

“Excellent portion sizes, reasonably priced, nice batter & definitely better than other chip shops in the area.”

“I've been here a few times now. Had a free breakfast wraps, and some sandwiches. Happy, friendly staff, good choice and the breakfasts wraps are awesome with mozzarella inside, although you might need a walk or lie down after.”
