About Rollo Restaurant & Wine Bar
On Raeburn Place in Edinburgh, Rollo Restaurant & Wine Bar serves a menu built around lamb salad, scallops, and pork belly, alongside paella, venison, and haggis bon bons. Wine by the glass is offered, including a Sancerre rosé, running alongside the food menu. Dessert includes a chocolate tart with white chocolate ice cream, and the kitchen has accommodated off-menu requests such as peanut butter ice cream or a virgin affogato. The room takes walk-ins, and a table has been found for a party without a reservation on a Saturday night. Service moves from drinks to food order at its own pace, with a wait sometimes falling between the two.

“Service was a bit slow, waiting a fair amount of time between drinks service and coming back to take the food order. …”

“Possibly the best little spot in Edinburgh! Superbly fresh food, brilliant wine selection, and exceptional hospitality - even to an Englishman! Outstanding venison, flavoursome haggis bon bons...just magnificent!”
- Justin Leslie
“A cosy Stockbridge restaurant with an eclectic menu. We popped in here for a quick bite to eat on a Monday evening. We were warmly welcomed and ordered bowls of paella and halloumi & tabouleh salad, which were excellent. There’s a great selection of wine-by-the-glass and the Sancerre rosé was lovely. We particularly appreciated being able to go off-menu with dessert, and we had scoops of peanut butter ice cream and a virgin affogato. When the bill came, this was all sorted seamlessly which was a good touch.”

“First time I been here. Had a meal with my girlfriend. Love the atmosphere and got awesome service by a guy called Murray. He was really friendly and very informative as to their selection in regards to what dishes we should try. I told him …”

“Absolutely wonderful do not walk past this place. My partner and I walked in without a reservation on a Saturday night and the friendly waiter squeezed us in for a table. The decor is so cosy and warm with such a friendly comforatble vibe. The staff are extremely well trained and polite and couldn't be more helpful. The female owner was lovely and expertly ran her lovrly restaurant whilst tending to all of the customers in the place. As for the food, we had the lamb salad which is absolutely divine along with scallops, pork belly and sides. The food was all absolutely delicious and we cleaned our plates. For dessert we had the chocolate tart which was ridiculous. A perfect balance of sweet with heavenly white chocolate ice cream. Do yourself a favour and go to this place.”
