Reviews in Edinburgh

A group of 9 lunched at The Kitchin - the eldest in their 70's and the youngest 9. We all thoroughly enjoyed the gastronomic experience. Staff were brilliant and attentive and the food was devine. We were not hurried despite being the last to arrive. Our 9 year old budding restaurant critic now aspires to visit The Kitchin on a regular basis and recommends it to everyone - as do we. Thanks Tom and staff for making it a very enjoyable experience for us all.

GREAT ATMOSPHERE.WENT RECENTLY SUNDAY P.M. FOOD VERY GOOD SUITED EVERYONE IN OUR FAMILY NOT EASY!.

Starter of melted cambert lovely. Mussels more than often closed. No finger bowl. Though they did give another smaller bowl on my request. These were closed as well. I would never go here again, nor recommend to anyone. Our last waiter/ I think a manager was the only decent person there. I think it not worth the money.

YUMMY! I love coming to eat a Gusto...the staff are really friendly and the food is always such good quality. I love that you can just pop in for a pizza or go all out with a lobster or a steak. It caters for every occasion and can't wait to return!!!

Excellent place to eat and the food lives up to expectations - and the kitchen/owner is even flexible enough to prepare dishes (with a bit of advance warning) that you like and are not on the menu. It's a bit too contemporary to have that 'old taverna' feel but let the food, wine, music and banter take you back to that holiday you enjoyed so much. You might even be lucky and have the sun shining outside. Only let down was the wine list - could do with padding out a bit more with some Greek wines, that are readily available in the UK these days.

Excellent seafood restaurant and pub. it has a quaint 1930's bistro vibe. This is enhanced by the original features in this old dockside pub in Leith. Just a twenty second stroll from where we were staying at Malmaison.

Excellent service and a great location in a grand old dock building.

Enjoy the grand and sumptuous surroundings here. Old school charm in the heart of Edinburgh. Choose from different locations to dine or drink.

Wonderful old place filled with character. Enjoyed beer and quality sarnies here at the weekend. Perfect spot for refreshment before or after exploring the wonderful city of Edinburgh.

We have been to this wonderful restaurant several times now and it is first class.The staff are so welcoming, friendly and efficient, the decor is lovely and the food is simply the best. Can't wait to go back next week.

Food excellent, as good as I've tried in the more expensive Thai restaurants in town. BYOB and added bonus! Small but very friendly too.

Great food-all very fresh and tasty. A small friendly restaurant with a good menu (including good amounts of seafood and vegetarian) and offers for lunch and pre-theatre. BYOB also available. Good location for King's theatre and Cameo cinema.

A Quality restaurant, Absolutely delightful. THE most delicious food I have ever tasted. Very reasonable lunch menu. Fresh British fayre, with an unusual twist. Plenty on the plate but presented beautifully, Staff were attentive but also left us alone. Central Edinburgh but not too busy. They also book large parties on request.

WOW! Fantastic food, simply delicious. I really enjoyed the relaxed dining atmosphere and attentive, welcoming and friendly staff. I don't normally comment on websites but this is just too good to keep a secret. Thank you for a great taste experience with lots of attention to details. I loved the carved vegetables.

The food is simply sumptuous and is a bargain at £37 for a fixed 4-course meal that actually turns into something a bit more with the number of small tasters in between each meal. It is a testament to the consistent performance of the chefs that a table at La Potiniere probably requires a minimum of 1 months pre-booking. The setting is an eye opener in that it is situated on the main road of a quiet village and you could be forgiven for driving past the restaurant thinking it was a private dwelling - it is, in effect a small bungalow with the dining taking place in what would be the living/dining room. There is no loud music played at La Potiniere but then again, the food is so tasty that all diners almost always engage in celebrated chatter after the oohs' and ahhs' have subsided from first tastings. The best compliment I can probably pay this establishment is that it is one you would choose if you wanted to celebrate an occasion and it certainly merits taking time beforehand to dress up for - not that you are required to do so, it is just that the food here is so special, it would be a shame not to look your finest whilst enjoying a taste of heaven. A complete joy.

Really enjoyed watching you guys on the F Word. Thought you came out very well and preferred the look of your meal. well done anyway.

I went to Bonsai the other day and had their dinner special, Nabe. It was fantastic!!! The waitress brought it out with a candle and a wee stand to keep the hot pot lifted over the candle. The broth and all the veg was amazing, along with the duck meatballs! I also had an interesting side, a cheese gyoza-- deep fried parcels with cheese in them.. Awesome. The service was also quite nice, the girl came to our table and went over bits of the menu with us and didn't seem put off to help us. This place was aces!

This used to be the best Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh. I am pretty sure it's the worst now. I was a regular for many years but I had not been in since 2005. My family and a friend went here in August 2008 and I will never go back. The place was hot and very loud. There seemed to be 2 stag parties going on and we asked the staff if they could perhaps ask the noise levels to be kept at a reasonable level. We were ignored. The starters took over 30 mins to arrive and were cold, when we asked to have them taken back there was a bit of a language barrier or the waitresses couldn’t hear us over the 20+ guests singing and shouting very loudly. The mains took 45 mins and again were cold. My poor friend ordered the Chicken with Mole Sauce. The sauce was made with sweet chocolate, not bitter. I’m not joking. It tasted like a bar of dairy milk had been melted onto it. We asked if there had been a mistake, did someone accidentally use the pudding sauce on it?! We were told no. That was the correct sauce. It was totally inedible. As we were all getting headaches we decided to leave. We were unable to find anyone who was willing to discuss a discount for such an appalling and insanely expensive meal. I am so saddened to see what was once my favourite restaurants become the total opposite.
