  “Haggis and fish soup were both very rich, delicious and filling. The chips were the best I've had in a long time. The gin flights were very tailored and a welcome experience. 100% would recommend. Ps, if you have a coupon from a local hostel, show it before ordering, it makes it easier for the staff.”

  “My family (husband and two daughters) and I came here for dinner. The staff was very welcoming and we were glad that they allowed children for dining when we arrived at 18h00. Plenty of classic Scottish dishes and my girls really enjoyed the soup and mac n cheese. My husband enjoyed his gin flight and there were a decent number of beer and cider options on tap. The restaurant was well staffed - they took our order promptly and checked on us often without being overbearing. Truly kind people! A solid choice if you are in this area for dinner!”

  “Best dinner we had in Edinburgh. Our server was so kind and charming! We had the fish and chips and my daughter had the burger and chips. Best food, great atmosphere, lovely musician playing in the background. Fantastic bramble! We were so happy to end our trip here!!! Food and atmosphere 💯❤️❤️❤️”

  “Excellent food. Interesting decor. Nice comforting ambience. The staff is very kind and attentive. We were served by a total of four different waiters/waitresses. The two we asked questions about the food - what is soup and pie of the day - did not know and had to go back and investigate. I believe they should know it upfront. But that was a minor detail of our very nice visit here. An absolute must to visit in Edinburgh.”

  “Loved this pub! Very vegetarian friendly. Great snacks and the absolute kindest staff members. They have a very fun pubquiz on Wednesday nights (participation is free of charge). Highly recommend when you are in town. (Toilets were also very clean which we found impressive for a pub!)”

  “People there know what they’re doing. We had haggis there, it was pretty tasty and when we asked for drinks suggestions they were very thorough. The second night we went there there was live music, the atmosphere was great!”

  “Compliments to the chef. We had tomato and smoked fish soups and 2 main courses. The food was very delicious. The staff friendly and attentive. Totally different experience from a Pub in London. We loved it”

  “Just off the Royal mile, we got a breather from the massive tourist traffic. There was a draft from open windows which gave a chill and air alike. Food was solid with bangers and mash needing a bit more sauce but still very tasty. The soup was very good.”

  “We've been there on Sunday and loved the place - we were sitting on a high table (funny filling of being in a gigantic world), waiters were very attentive and fast, food was good and not too heavy (though cranachan here is a disappointment - shortbreads with raspberry jam), the music was very nice. Could easily recommend it to the travellers who want to taste Scottish food and hospitality.”
