The Magnum Restaurant & Bar

We had an amazing experience at the Magnum restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. The Magnum dish never disappoints, and I'm always impressed by the fresh and amazing quality of the food. It's evident that the chefs truly love what they do, and it reflects in every bite. Highly recommend this place for a delightful dining experience!

Oh my goodness, this lunch was delicious. We ordered various small plates: open ravioli, ham and potato croquettes, bang bang cauliflower, calamari, duck bao, and rocket salad. Delicious. All perfect sizes for two people to share. Service was excellent and everything down to the background music was perfect. Love, love, love The Magnum.

This is definitely a restaurant worthy of being in the top discussions for edinburgh. This was quite possibly the best food we have had in our visit to Scotland. The service was prompt and knowledgeable about what the head chef had to showcase. The restaurant is away from the busiest sections but worth the walk away from the chaos. The duck breast was amongst the best duck dish I have ever had. The skin perfectly crisp, the meat perfectly cooked, and the flavour combinations were exquisite. My wife had the monk fish, it was also cooked spectacularly. The seasonings and the entree was also a standout. I would put this up with many Michelin starred establishments we have tried in terms of the dishes themselves.

In the 5 nights I was in Edinburgh, I ate here twice. First night was the venison, sticky pudding and plenty of gin and tonics. Second night, beer, pork belly starter, burger with black pudding, and the chocolate mousse. Both meals were some of the most memorable and delicious of my entire European travels. Every dish is unique and thoughtful. Do yourself a favor and make this a stop on your trip! The staff will make you feel like you’ve ate here before and there is an amazing sense of community throughout. Terry, Amy, Cara and Andrew are tops and made this solo traveler feel at home in a foreign land♥️

What a great find! Definitely 5 stars. The monkfish was so delicious … every mouthful felt like a treat. There was a delay with my dessert - they came to apologise before I even realised and made a great gesture as an apology. Service was simply top. My apologies for forgetting to tip. A great experience. Might have to come again to try the haggis bonbons …

We had our lunch a month ago in Magnum which is located at a relatively secluded part of New Town. It was our first time to have venison, and it was better that what we anticipated - the meat was done quite juicy and tender, though less flavourful than the other main we ordered, the slow braised beef daube. I loved the haggis beeps and tatties as well, tasty and not overwhelming strong in flavour. And they offer good dessert too. Every dishes we had was nicely presented, and really friendly service.
