The vive there is pretty cool and comfortable for cool kids like me and my family. I ordered the Brekkie Bagel and a coffee cocoa smoothie which were both really good. My family loved everything they got. Although the service was slower compared to most American breakfast places I expected that and it was nice to have time to talk with the fam before eating. Definitely recommend this cute breakfast place. Rating: 4.7/5.0

Tasty burger spot that was close to our hotel. We were starving after driving from Oban to…read moreEdinburgh, so immediately after checking in to our hotel we looked up places that were near by. This popped up right away and the other reviews and pictures did it justice. We walked over, got seated right away! I was vibing to the "club" music that was playing. We ordered two burgers and a large portion of chips to share, we could have gotten the small and had plenty. The burgers hit the spot! We even grabbed dessert; the cheesecake and chocolate torte. The torte was so rich and so good!!

Holy Cow is such a staple for me on my visits to Edinburgh. The food is so comforting and…read moredelicious. Holy cow is 100% plant based and has a wide variety of options to choose from. Most recently, I had the english breakfast and it was a hardy plate full of all the essentials. Everything on it was excellent. I was also excited to see that they had a house-made pumpkin spice latte on the menu, even in July! Holy Cow can get very busy (when I was there on a Thursday, one group after another came in.) But they do a good job at seating everyone quickly, as well as taking orders and bringing out food promptly. During my last visit, I was seated inside, but previously I got to enjoy their back patio. The latter is really lovely on a rare sunny day in Edinburgh. Either way, you'll enjoy your time here.

Place was empty on a Monday afternoon visiting the area. I ordered the steak sandwich which was dry and the bread hard. Fries were not seasoned but you can do that yourself with condiments on the table. I added mayo to my sandwich but it didn't much help so I just opened the sandwich and ate the meat. Kids' Mac and cheese wasn't all that but the pulled pork was good. Wouldn't recommend but it was not horrific.

I'd never tried a nut milk before, but the hazelnut paired perfectly with the warm, spicy chai. The latte was the perfect size and came in a nice big cup. It was absolutely delicious!

If you're in Edinburgh and want a place that does comfort food right, Makars Mash Bar is absolutely…read moreworth the stop. We tried a variety of dishes including the Scotch egg, chicken, pork, and beef options, and every single one was excellent. The meats were very flavorful and tender, and the mashed potatoes were easily some of the best we've had. The Scotch egg was perfectly cooked with a rich, slightly runny yolk and a crispy, well-seasoned outer layer. The sticky toffee pudding was also outstanding and a perfect way to finish the meal and was shared by the group as the portions were huge!! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with a unique and cozy feel. We waited about 20 minutes in line, but it was worth it. Service was great, everyone was friendly, and the experience felt very well run. This is also a great option for families, especially if you have picky kids. You can't really go wrong with excellent mashed potatoes and high-quality meat options. FYI the Pork Shank was the winner overall.

At the door, parties of 2+ had around an hour wait. I was lucky enough to be dining solo, so was immediately seated to a small high-top area by the door. Service was very kind. I ordered the Lamb and Classic Mash. The side pickles were tasty and refreshing. The mash was truly good. I ended up wishing I picked a different protein because the lamb came on the bone, wish was hard to eat around for me. Since it was my first day in Scotland, the conversion between pounds and dollars hadn't yet processed for me. As a heads up, ordering the 23.00 pound classic entree came out to be $32.50.

When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted warmly. The restaurant had a beautiful ambiance, very welcoming atmosphere. The menu was easy to figure out. Everything was vegetarian with a V to denote vegan and a [V] to let you know the dish could be made vegan. Everything on the menu looked delicious and hard to narrow down choices. We were offered consomme, and it was so flavorful! I narrowed my choice down to Haggis Fritters served with hummus and banana chutney. Reminded me of falafel. I also got smoked and marinated tofu with sweet miso sesame sauce and pickled cucumbers. This was delicious! My friend got the soup of the day, which was a tomato with lentil soup that came with bread. She really liked it!

We tried on our first week in Edinburgh and failed, but were able to make reservations 3 weeks out for our last night in Scotland, and we are glad we did. Pork cracklins were a bit hard and crunchy, but everything else was perfect. We had fresh bread and langostinis for starters, along with a smokey whiskey cocktail, the Smoked Indiscretion! For mains we enjoyed the poached Cod, and the Pork with Barley. Service was very good, and wine selection was extensive. Atmosphere was loud with music and locals' chatter in the bar below, but dark tables and heavy wood panels made it a perfect place for a couple celebrating 3 weeks of travel. Highly recommend a visit to the Devil's Advocate, if you can book a table in advance.

The Devil's Advocate is undoubtedly a treasure to find in Old Town Edinburgh, especially if you…read moreaccidentally take the News Steps to get there, only to realize you should have simply taken the steps up Advocate's Close from Cockburn Street. But they call these lessons, "character building," apparently. No matter, the Devil's Advocate is worth the search. Located in an old Victorian pump house halfway up (or down) Advocate's Close, the Devil's Advocate is known for a killer whisky shelf of more than 300 different bottles from various distilleries across the Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside, Campbelltown, the Islands, and Islay. I finally sipped on a 15-year Tamdu that has convinced me to keep a bottle at home. Then there's the Clydeside 2024 Limited Edition Cask Strength that was wicked impressive. The bartenders are class at making and serving seasonal and regular cocktails that have their spin and character. My wife enjoyed gin-based cocktails such as the Clean Slate (with St-Germain, citrus, and sugar), Rose Garden (with Yellow Chartreuse, Cocchi Rosa, apple, lemon, and mint), and Bee's Knees (honey and lemon). I went full speed ahead with the scotch cocktails, which are essentially classics with a scotch-substituted twist. The Double Shot is an Espresso Martini with Dalmore 12 in addition to Kahlua, espresso, and demerara -- quite smooth without being too sweet. The Scotzia is a Negroni with Fettercairn 12, while the Boxcar is a Sidecar only with Aberfeldy 12. We enjoyed the bar for a few hours, watching the bartenders make magic while sipping on cocktails, while listening to 80s pop tunes. A great evening indeed.
