What a little find this was. The staff were great and the food was fantastic. The beer was amazing after a long day, served in an ice cold glass. Perfect. Just like to say thank you for a lovely evening meal. The haggis I must add was out of this world. I’m a huge foodie so another tattie would’ve been nice, but that’s just me being the skinniest fat man. 😋

Absolutely brilliant all round. The service is impeccable and the food sublime. We had different starters, entree and dessert which gave us an opportunity to try 6 different options and they were all magnificent. Highlights were the Venison and the Salmon. Had drinks at the bar before dinner which was also entertaining as the bartender was creative and engaging. Very nice ambience and great for a romantic dinner or intimate evening.

Fabulous post wedding meal for 4 (tiny wedding!) which did not disappoint, always happy to see a short menu, usually indicates the chef is confident in their abilities, and this proved to be the case. Everyone enjoyed their mains, each one happy they had made the best choice! Many happy eating noises made and numerous 'oh wow' exclamations. Staff and music were cool and laid back, which the cool entrance to the restaurant deserves! Already booked for our anniversary next year!

I got the potato dumplings (gnocci). The mushrooms and dumplings were fantastic. The chips and sourdough were also the best I've had in my week travels in Scotland. I also ordered a side of broccoli, I was hoping it would be a bit lighter to cut the richness of the buttery main course. I found it even more rich than the main! Just bear in mind that everything here is very generously buttered.

We stumbled on this restaurant last week while looking for a nice place to eat in Edinburgh and it did not disappoint! We ordered some bread and herb butter as an appetizer and even though it seems simple, it's necessary. Drinks were the heather honey old fashioned and the Scottish aviation. Both drinks were delicious! For dinner, my husband had the venison and I had the salmon and both dishes were flavorful, hearty, and exactly what we needed after a long travel day. And don't skip out on dessert! We had the chocolate mousse and it was decadent without being too filling. Just perfection. Monteiths felt familiar even though this was our first time visiting and we loved it so much that we went back for a drink on our last night in Edinburgh. Don't miss out on traditional Scottish dishes with an elegant yet not pretentious twist!
