Erster Pub Stopp in Edinburgh: empfehlenswert. Super süßes Pub, Mischung aus modern und Tradition, viele Sorten frisches Bier vom Fass und super liebes und aufmerksames Personal 🤩 Entspannte Atmosphäre, klare Empfehlung
I’ve been here a couple times and every time has been so good! I highly recommend the Halloumi burger and nachos, while the portion of nachos are on the smaller side they are delicious!! The drinks are also really good, I recommend the Apple and Raspberry cocktail, it was stunning. For being right in the centre this place is reasonably priced, and for a good amount of food. Would recommend coming by if you’re in the area!!
Came in for lunch and had a great time. We ordered the mac n cheese (the garlic bread was amazing!!) and the red squirrel burger, the only complaint about that is that the burger was a bit dry, some more sauce or cheese would've perhaps helped, but otherwise really good!! The chips were absolutely amazing. Service was quick and lovely.
My friends and I celebrated our Christmas here. It was spectacular! Definitely come back for next year.
Ordered Scottish breakfast and spicy fried chicken waffle with maple syrup for our breakfast, the taste were amazing. What a great start for the first meal in Edinburgh~
Dog friendly bar/restaurant. Wasn't too keen on the mimosa and waffles though the buttermilk chicken tasted lovely. I found the waffles a bit too sweet for my liking (thought they'd be savoury waffles) and they were drowning in maple syrup. Maybe other folks prefer that. They did have a lovely variety for breakfast and brunch so I won't knock it, I'd come here again and try something different. It's nice that it's also dog friendly and the prices are reasonable considering location by Edinburgh Castle.
Oh and don't confused this place with the red Cockerel cafe lol.

I went here to dine alone around 21.15 on Thursday, and it was wonderful. The restaurant was pretty calm. They have small-company seating available (2-person booths in the back, useful for working or just being alone). Good food (they go light on the salt, very nice compared to the over-salted stuff you can get in some places). The steak was flavorful and cooked as ordered. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Music isn't too loud either. I'll probably return for lunch tomorrow. 😁
We tried our dinner in this restaurant. The restaurant is at the city centre. We tried a couple of dishes like lamb kofta, soup of the day, haggis etc. I liked the haggis dish but the lamb kofta was not so delicious. The chips were soggy and we could not enjoy the chips. The passion fruit and cranberry juice was nice too. The interior was good in looking and the restaurant is clean.
