Bridgeview Station has panoramic views over Tay estuary, which makes your dining experience romantic and soothing. Their fantastic reviews led me to dine here. I was not disappointed!!! All my offerings were excellent, from the food to the wine we enjoyed. The Shetland Salmon Fishcake with Beetroot, Fennel and Dill Salad was not fishy at all very fresh with a flaky texture. The beetroot and fennel was a good combination for this fishcake. The Ayrshire Lamb Rump with Pressed Lamb Belly, Kohlrabi and Samphire. For those of us that didn't know what Kohlrabi/Samphire are: Kohlrabi is in the family of the cabbage just with a round long stem and Samphire is a european pickled carrot. The lamb and lamb belly were excellent, no game in this dish. Just amazing tastes with a side of veggies. The Malbec we tried was amazing...One of the best ones I've had in awhile. Well balanced, not dry with Cherry, cocoa notes...yumm! Will definitely come back when I'm back in Scotland.

Out of all the places I've been to in Scotland, I think Queens Arms was one of my favorites…read more We had reservations for this place recently and when I took one step inside, I was already in love. I mean who doesn't love a good pub? You get great drinks and great food at an affordable price. As I write it makes me think of think of when Zidane reunites with Freya in FF9. Sometimes we don't wanna eat at fancy Michelin restaurant that has small plates but charges a premium. Sometimes we just wanna cut all the BS and just get a nice hearty meal. And thats what we got. When we sat down we found out that they were doing a Trivia night. Normally I would have told my girl to pick another spot to eat but for some reason I was cool with it. There was even a table nearby with kids(yuck). And you know what? It was fine. That's because we had been sipping on some amazing cocktails. If you also partake, Gin and Mezcal enjoyers will love the Bramble and Hibiscus Crush. What color are Luigi's overalls from Super Mario? That's such an easy question. Wait...what do you mean Luigi's overalls are blue? They are green. Look at this picture onli...Oh... One of the stars of our meal was the Haggis. This was the first time I had ever tried it and after trying it at multiple places Scotland, Queens Arms I feel has done it the best. I love the complexity of the flavors of the meat with the creamy and pepper flavors of the peppercorn sauce. If you've never had Haggis, you definitely have to try it here. The best part is that it comes with mashed potatoes too! Shoutouts to the Fish and Chips if you are also into that. One of my friends ordered that and I definitely had to go back in for multiple bites. Finally the roast. The Sunday Roast should just be an automatic order if you happen to come here on a Sunday. You get so much food and it's all so damn tasty. They'll cook a roast to whatever doneness your heart desires. We went with Medium Rare and it came out perfectly. If you didn't have enough flavors with all the extra sides it comes with, they also give you gravy to pour on anything you want. Thanksgiving basically came early this night. But as I looked around and admired all the bookshelf's and all the families have a nice dinner with their loved ones, I just thought about how happy I was. I was finally here! This was the start of my trip. Queens Arms has set a high ceiling on great experiences in Scotland. We even went back there a couple of days ago just because we knew we would be able to end the night on a good drink. But in the end I think if you are Edinburgh, you have to come to this place. It is one of my favorite experiences I've had in Scotland so far and I dream about when I can come back again.

The price is very reasonable, the service is friendly and quick, and the food is really, good. On Sundays, they fluctuate between serving beef or pork for the roast (which starts at noon, not when they open); I luckily came for the week they served beef. The roast itself was tender, the sides within the entree - veggies, roasted potatoes, skirlie and Yorkshire pudding - complemented the meat and each other seamlessly, and the meal overall was hearty and flavorfully rich, but not salty. I also ordered pigs-in-a-blanket and brussel sprouts for additional sides, and while overkill (meaning I didn't need them to make me full), werr very good appetizers; I had to make sure not to finish them, or else I would have been too full for the meal. For drinks, I got a Mezcal Negroni that was strong but delicious. The clean, lovely restaurant was sparse when I came in at noon, but was picking up by the time I left around 1:15p. I would love to go back when I'm in the area.

Just sat down for a traditional Sunday roast, and sadly, this was definitely not the place to go…read morefor one. The beef was uninspiring at best, and the whole experience left me feeling rather disappointed. What made it even more disappointing was the rather grand announcement on the menu: "Gilmour's Roast Sirloin of Beef served every Sunday Lunch from 12-4pm, while stocks last." Well, that certainly set my expectations high! The wording made it sound as though people were practically queuing around the block to get their hands on this legendary Sunday roast before it sold out. Having now sampled it, I suspect they'll have enough beef left over to see them through to next Sunday. What arrived was two rather sad slices of very dry beef. I was expecting a generous portion of beautifully roasted, succulent beef--tender, juicy, and practically falling apart at the mere sight of a fork. Instead, I was presented with something that appeared to have spent rather too long contemplating its existence in the oven. A bit of gravy might have helped, but I suspect even a full-scale rescue operation would have struggled to bring this beef back to life. Now, the sticky toffee pudding was an entirely different story! Absolutely delightful. Warm, moist, and delicious, with a generous helping of rich toffee sauce and a small dollop of ice cream. Proper British comfort food at its finest! If the Sunday roast was the disappointment of the afternoon, the sticky toffee pudding was the hero that swooped in to save the day. I would happily return for that alone. The service was lovely, with friendly and welcoming staff, and the restaurant itself is in a fantastic location with a wonderful atmosphere. It's a great spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. Unfortunately, when you advertise a Sunday roast as though it's the hottest ticket in town, you really ought to deliver something worth writing home about. In short: Come for the atmosphere, stay for the sticky toffee pudding, but perhaps give the Sunday roast a miss.

When we arrived at noon (opening time), the restaurant wasn't too busy. There is an impressive bar downstairs with many whiskies. We were led upstairs to the dining area. There is outdoor dining too that would be nice if the weather was warmer. Cool vibe, but it is kind of dark inside the stone walls. The menu is Scottish-focused with seasonal ingredients. We didn't want to overeat, so we decided to share a starter and a main. We got the Scottish venison fritters, which were ok. We enjoyed the pappardelle pasta (roast pumpkin and pecorino sauce, wild mushrooms, spinach, bacon and poppy seed crumb, crispy sage). It was flavorful and didn't feel too heavy. Staff were friendly and it was an enjoyable lunch.

Recently reopened and new look Tallys is doing it for me!…read more Compared to the old place, the new improved Tallys is sleeker and far more attractive. Better drinks on offer, better menu, beer garden, nice restuarant...we're onto a winner. The food is akin to something you could receive from a michelin starred restaurant when the head chef dude is in. His presentation and pride in his cooking is very apparent when it gets to the table. They home bake their own bread for God's sake! I have had the chicken breast with new potatoes and stir fried veg - something I wouldnt normally get in a "gastro-pub" but it was amazing. It comes with a strange but tasty garlic and ginger dressing and is super enjoyable. I have also sampled the fish and chips (pretty decent), cheese and bacon burger (filling and tasty), penne bolognaise (homely and plenty!) and their couscous is nice, in fact I was pleasantly surprised to see a place actually put couscous on a menu, you rarely see it. Overall, worth a visit. Staff are really friendy, great atmosphere and they sell Sailor Jerry, what more could you want?

It was a bit cold and drizzly so we were glad to be inside. It is cozy. The menu consists of about 10 dishes I would say. Ordered the 8oz. steak with garlic butter, with mushroom/tomato and chips as sides. Also ordered green beans. Also added on Cullen skink. Kids had gnocchi. Being a thin steak the cook ranged from medium well to medium rare in parts. Not like steak back in the states. I would say beef flavor came through but not enough seasoning. The vegetables and chips were very good. The Cullen skink was more stewy than soupy also it was locally made, this recipe had dill pickle bits in it. I thought it was good. I love how they love bread and butter in this country. The gnocchi was okay. Again just different from rye U.S. Service friendly and welcoming.

Going on a trip to Scotland and have the opportunity to eat at such an awesome restaurant got me so happy. So let's talk about the food, It was like a tapas menu. So I ordered 3 different things and one desert. Everything was so smooth and just melted in my mouth. The food was worth every little cent.
