The Royal Mile Tavern

We ate here twice during our weekend stay in Edinburgh. The food was fantastic for what is quite an unassuming looking pub on the inside. Granted the feasting platter we shared on our first visit didn’t look very elegant, but everything was cooked well and it was just what we needed after arriving in the city from London. We returned for dinner before flying home, with my wife enjoying the bangers and mash in a giant Yorkshire pudding, while I had the Highland chicken stuffed with haggis, which was absolutely scrummy. Staff were very friendly on the whole, and the prices reasonable for the quality of both food and drink.

What a perfect spot to duck out of the December chill for a bite. Cozy, warm, and Christmas was in the air. Santa hat bedecked staff were so friendly and fun. Nice vegetarian options but beware when ordering the veggie fried sampler platter, it was enough for 4 people! Delicious and delightful! Will return if we ever find ourselves strolling down the exciting Royal Mile!

Located as the name suggests right on the Royal Mile. Think the clientele would generally be tourists. We came in here as we had read that the Guinness was one of the better Guinness that you'd find in Edinburgh. Whilst the Guinness was not as good as you'd find in Ireland, it certainly was one of the better pints you would get in Edinburgh. Friendly staff.
