    Everything about this airport was very frustrating. We finally decided on Sir Walter's, and it was…read morebarely medicore. The place was packed. You basically find a table if you can manage to find one open, figure out what you want on the menu, then walk up to the counter to order and pay (please note the # on your table to give them), and then it comes out to you. The prices are highway robbery for what you get. I ordered the club sandwich served with chips. The toasted sourdough bread came with chicken breast, bacon, mature cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, and mayo.The sandwich was just okay. One side of my sandwich had these two small slices of chicken on it. There was a whole lot of everything but chicken. The chips on the other hand were phenominal and very tasty. I had a diet soda to go with my sandwich. I also ordered a glass of water which we never got. My husband ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad. Please don't mistake this for the caesar we have in the states as the taste if very different and seems to come on a l lot of the sandwiches in the UK. He didn't like it, but was hungry and ate it anyway for the price. A few helpful folks at the counter recommended a beer to him he tried and downed. The chips and beer seem to be the winners of this dining experience. The place is okay. The price and dining experience don't really match up even for an airport and being in the UK, but when in "....." you don't have many options. I noticed on one of the table signs there is an app you can use to order, and the food will come out to you. I posted a picture of it to go with the review. There is also more seating away from the main area that we didn't notice until walking to our gate. That would've been good to know when we were struggling to find a table prior, but the setup isn't straightforward where the additional tables are.

    Generally speaking, restaurants in airports charge too much and give you mediocre food. We spent…read more$57.19 to find that is the case for The Sir Walter Scott at the Edinburgh Airport. It's just wrong to take advantage of travelers when they're captive and waiting for a flight. And for a place to be named for the great Scottish writer, this restaurant owes it to Walter to step up its game. Sadly, I will not hold my breath. You'll eat. It's average food. You'll pay through the nose to get it. And then they'll fleece the next family traveling through....

    I go through quite a lot of airports and in turn see quite a lot of bars. Some of the ones in…read moreEdinburgh airport if I am being honest have got a bit grubby looking of late. This meant that on a recent pre-holiday airport wait we decided to skip the Weatherspoon's and go for some champagne instead. Instead of being in a bar, your more at a station in the middle of the departure lounge, but actually I quite liked that. (Plenty of people watching opportunities) The menu has food and drinks on it, but we just went with champagne. The cheapest one it had to be though and that was still bloody expensive! Still, it was lovely and that was the main thing. If you are at the airport and don't want to be stuck in the pub with ten stag and hen party groups, I can recommend this place to you. A bit more peaceful, nice food and drink options and fast efficient service. Just bring plenty of cash.

    Airport bars are rarely fabulous and Edinburgh airport is not the best but this place is a-ok…read more The departure lounge is going through a long overdue make-over with some new shops appearing. Flutes and Tails replaces the previous seafood bar that was here and seems a wee bit more inviting. There's a range of drinks, not just fizz and the cheapest glass of fizz starts at £9.95. Some classy looking reds and white wines were on the menu but they had house wines too for more of a budget friendly option. I ordered Pommery (£12 a glass ) and pop corn (£4.50). I liked the snack option - I wanted something to soak up the alcohol as I'd knew I'd eat in London plus eat fish on the plane so this was new from the previous incarnation. Joe and Sephs pop corn is also gluten free and they had 3-4 different types which I liked. The bowl was actually quite a big bowl so pretty filling. Service was friendly and efficient. Decent pour of champagne too and toddled off a bit buzzed for my flight :-) I'd probably come here again if I'm on a later flight as it was a nice wee treat to start of my travels. #yelpmission
