Makars Mash Bar

Definitely a must try in Edinburgh! We got the mushroom mash and lamb chop mash, both of which were flavorful. The meat fell off the lamb chop so easily and it was tender. Service is quick too and the staff are friendly and attending. We made a reservation and were able to get seated immediately!
This is a lovely restaurant with friendly staff! Service is quick and we were seated immediately too (we had reservations). I got the chai latte which is so good with their homemade chai sauce. The eggs Benedict was ok - the sourdough was tough which tends to be a common problem in eggs Benedict. The chicken Caesar sandwich is good, tastes as expected so nothing too special about it.
We had called in the morning to make a reservation for dinner, which was a good call because they get busy. Once we put our order in, the drinks and food came promptly. Each dish came out delicious with perfect timing, and had a perfect balance of flavor. Honestly, the “worst” thing there was the dessert we got (raspberry cheesecake) which had a lot of overwhelming flavors, but all the main appetizers/dishes we ordered: no complaints. We had a table of 5, 4 of us ordered drinks, and we had 10 dishes + 1 dessert to be full. Service was wonderful and I would definitely come back.

The food, the service, chef’s kiss. The bartender made me a custom drink which was perfect. The food timing was perfect so they were staggering foods and all came out hot and fresh. The oysters were fresh flavorful; the beef frites was so delicious and didn’t even need the garlic aioli which made it even better. The porchetta was beyond this world and had the perfect balance of everything. The mushrooms were perfect in texture and soaked in the delicious flavoring while still maintaining the mushroom taste. All other foods were also just as good and I could rave on and on about it. The service was outstanding and we felt taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and come back again.
