  “Great place. So cozy and welcoming both for dogs and humans. Our dog enjoyed the canine menu and we cherished some good fish and chips, haggis fritters, calamari and sticky toffee pudding. There are many board games and people just have lots of fun here. Highly recommended!”

  “Absolutely excellent rustic hand made pub food in a lovely authentic capital P pub setting with all the spongey benches, single stools and lots of old books to read. Only thing that would make this place 11/10 is that they need to get a nice local Wee Heave or 80 Shilling on the cask. Must visit.”

  “I had a really enjoyable experience at The Antiquary Bar in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. The food was excellent for a pub — everything we tried was freshly cooked with great flavour and generous portions. The menu goes beyond typical pub grub, and the Sunday roast (including vegan and vegetarian options) is a real highlight, with well-prepared sides and a satisfying finish. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the team were happy to explain the dishes and options available. Many reviewers mention the warm and social atmosphere, which adds to the overall positive dining experience. Importantly for vegan diners, The Antiquary offers proper vegan choices on their menu — such as a vegan roast on Sundays and plant-based main courses — so it’s a good spot for groups with mixed dietary preferences. Overall, it’s a classic Edinburgh pub where you can enjoy great food, good service, and vegan-friendly options, all in a cosy and lively setting. --”

  “Excellent place to have a Sunday roast. We had beef and pheasant both great. Also, we had salmon and a couple of desserts. Apple crumble was really good.”

  “Food served Wednesday to Sunday only. Fantastic hidden gem with a great cosy atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff and great food. The bar itself is decorated in a cosy traditional style and host quiz nights on Wednesday and Sundays. There are pub games in the back corner to entertain you while enjoy a drink. Moving on to the food it is fantastic especially for the price. I had the MacDillon burger, it was cooked beautifully and the burger was a proper burger patty rather than a frozen mass produced one. Can't wait to go back.”

  “Not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best pubs I’ve ever visited. Had the special roast, roast Pheasant stuffed with Haggis, was incredible. Good recommendations from the bar staff on drinks. Proper glasses for the drinks, including a half pint glass for the half-Guinness which is hard to come by nowadays and is a nice touch. Big TV’s for the football and nice atmosphere inside. Toilets very clean also”

  “Always a winner for a Sunday roast of seasonal game. Portions are beyond generous with homemade Yorkshire puddings and tons of accurately cooked vegetables. Their cow pie special was superb. It was packed with venison and crispy pasty with tons of gravy inside and lovely rustic chips. Good craft beer offering and one of the few decent places to watch live sport in Edinburgh”

  “A cute place, much bigger than visible to the eye from the outside, with a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, and a fresh and light take on local favorites. For starters, we had the soup of the day, a vegetable and tomato option that tasted as if it of your grandma's kitchen. I also had the wings, we'll seasoned, crisp and with a fresh side salad. For main course we had a venison pie and fish and chips, substituting salad for chips, with a side of perfectly cooked, vibrant green peas. Price for food and drinks was around £60. Is gladly come back for seconds.”
