    Fish and chips
    Bob K.

    Overall nice spot in New Town Edinburgh with a wide variety of dishes and decent service. Has an old Victorian vibe which is also cool. Enjoyed from their selection of fancy drinks both alcoholic and nonalcoholic as well as traditional food like fish and chips and not as traditional like the delicious pulled pork tacos.

    Incredible pardon peppers & Chorizo washed Bloody Maria...absolutely to die for!!

    Mac and the Copper Blossom team were an absolute pleasure, from impeccable service to outstanding drinks and beautifully tasteful food!! I cannot recommend this spot enough - great vibes, great food, great prices...bring your friends, bring your family, take yourself on a date it's simply just worth it. 3 of us shared padron peppers, haggis, lamb kofta, grilled prawns, fritters, and the cullen sink cake. 12/10 stars

    Great place, nice atmosphere, friendly staff! There is room for improvement in the service department but overall, great experience!!

    I had watched work progress on Copper Blossom for the past few weeks and went in on Thursday (17th Sept) for dinner and drinks. It is lovely inside. Even entering the bar (at basement level) on North Castle St, it is all lights and painted pavement and so pretty. Inside it was beautiful, high-end marble tables but also part shabby-chic with cream colours and plants. We were able to grab one of the high tables that was fine for 5 of us and perused the menu's. A mini dish menu is available between 3-10pm and includes things like squid (£6) polenta chips (£3) and reblouchon (£5). Many of these are not gluten free so I ate off the dinner menu. Ask for the allergen menu as it contains full details of what you can have if you have any dietary requirements. Staff were friendly and helpful and discussed being able to adapt dishes to what I wanted which is a nice touch. My duck was lovely but there were elements of my dish that were hot and others lukewarm like they had been plated too early. One of my dining companions also had hit and miss experiences with their selection of mini dishes. The cocktails are stellar though. The Blossom Martini is fabulous. There is an underground space where all sorts of alchemy is being done by the team in infusing spirits and in being able to produce clear bloody mary's! So, I think the kitchen might just take some time to bed in as we were a mixed table with bites and main orders, but the cocktails are fab and I'll definitely be back :-)

    Stopped by for a look see and stayed for four cocktails.. The latest addition to New Town.. This place is understated and has a well curated cocktail selection. When so many new bars are going kitsch, this place has a great vibe and isn't overly pretentious even tho the staff are in bow ties, collared shirts and braces. My friend and I were very well looked after, our questions about our drinks very aptly answered. They have a big screen which can be hidden away but the rugby world cup was much appreciated. Looking forward to trying out the food menu on my next visit.

    Blossom martini, so incredibly good!!

We got here at 6 with no reservation. We were able to be seated upstairs. This place is busy (much busier when we were finished for sure). So if you can, I'd suggest reserving a spot. It's a bit loud in here. Not out of the ordinary for a busy place. We started with the pressed pork belly app. Perfect crisp. Could've used more of the celeriac puree bed. The confit shallots were so good and nicely sweet. Black pudding cubes (small. More of these!). Candied pears. Mmm. Great start. Wife got the char grilled venison on a butternut squash purée and spicy daikon planks (I didn't find the heat, she did tho!). It was excellent and perfectly prepared. Not gamey at all. I got the 35 day aged hangar steak. This is hands down one of the best steaks I have had out in a very long time. So well seasoned! Which was such a pleasant surprise as it left me wanting for nothing to add flavor. The hand cut fries were good but did need some salt. No dessert as, well, our server was scattered a bit all night. We asked for the dessert menu. She brought us dinner menus and we didn't see her for 10 minutes. So we opted to leave, a bit disappointed at the end. We would come back tho. Thats for sure.

When our food arrived we finally asked to move spots but the back of the restaurant was just as bad. I can't believe other families weren't complaining. We also found a hair in our appetizer and the mains were subpar. My husband complained about his fries and burger and the manager was combative. They comped us for one whiskey and we left as quickly as possible. The shepherds pie was very salty and the side of veggies was very clearly from frozen.

We came in excited about this place, and the restaurant had open tables at about 6:50pm on a Friday ... we had just walked all day and were starving with a 2-year old and an elderly after walking all over town and sightseeing all day long. However, was told by this girl that they didn't have a seat for us. Although there was no wait, no one ahead of us and empty tables. I told her she could seat us in that booth, we didn't mind since our 2 year old wouldn't be eating. However, she cut me off and said that would not work. I thought that was weird but that should have been That it would take them about 30 minutes to get us a table. We walk around in the cold, come back to the restaurant ... there are plenty of open tables. My husband takes my 2-year old inside to wait so she is not in the freezing rainy cold (especially since she was sniffling). The hostess then says it's going to take longer and that we must wait outside the restaurant. We tell her it's cold, and we've been waiting. She then says ... "This isn't going to work, I'm not serving you. You guys can leave." She did not want to serve of us this entire time! She could have told us when we first walked in, but made us wait and walk around outside in the cold rain with a 2-year old and an 88-year old ... then decides she doesn't want to serve us. We walked in at 6:50pm, came back at 7:30pm, waited until 7:45pm when she told us she wouldn't serve us. By this time all the other restaurants were fully reserved or with 1-2 hour waits. We ended up not able to have dinner that night, and got snacks from the grocery store. DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! NEVER TREATED THIS BADLY BY A RESTAURANT!

I said for the size of our group can we get the other tables towards the back. There were other tables available and all right behind us. The hostess said no absolutely not guests were to be assigned to their tables. There were people behind us but they were after us; plus they were of smaller size than ours, clearly our skin color is the main issue. They sat us down, and quite a few minutes pass, others trickle in and promptly everyone bumps into me. At which point I told the hostess this is not acceptable. They sat 2 people at a table for 4, in the back while this table of 4 is really too small for 4 people. One thing stood out to me, we were the only non whites. When the last group again bumped into me, I asked to be moved; she then said due to short of staff they cannot change the seating but seeing seriously everyone is bumping into me, she begrudgingly moved us to a corner table with no lights - and not surprisingly no service. I understand the importance of trying to make the white people feel comfortable about not being seen with non whites - the best way is tuck the non whites away - but this is 2022. I am from California and no, this is absolutely unacceptable. Like MLK junior or Rosa Parks, we protected, first by requesting to be moved away from the hallway, then by my two teens and I walking out of the restaurant and finding more tolerant non racist restaurant to eat, and we spent a lot of money on the other restaurant. You too can make a decision to either eat or not eat at this place. The choice is entirely up to you. And this will define who you are.

    The desk agent at my hotel recommended Scran for a full Scottish breakfast. He was not wrong…read more First, finding the place was a little challenge. It's not on the main road, but off through a covered alley. You'll see their sign if you look. I ordered the full breakfast consisting of a fried egg, pork sausage link, uncured bacon, fried breaded sausage patty, sourdough bread, potato scone, haggis and blood sausage fried crispy, and baked beans. I'd never tried haggis or blood sausage, but I wanted to say I'd at least tried it. I was shocked to find I really liked both. Not gamey at all. They tasted like well seasoned sausages. Don't fear the haggis! I also had a mimosa and a latte to wrap up the meal. Totally unhealthy, but totally delicious. Service was also great. Slow but steady, and very attentive. If I make it back to Edinburgh, I'll definitely eat at Scran again.
