Hemingway's Edinburgh

We went for a tasting menu prepared by chefs Bart and Pawel, everything was absolutely delicious. First time having rabbit pie and pidgeon, really enjoyed both. The chefs were more than happy to accommodate dietary restrictions also. The service was great and all staff very friendly. We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely meal. It was a smaller menu but everything looked delicious, I had an oxtail ravioli small plate which they kindly made into a large plate for me and we had the cod also. It was absolutely delicious so fresh and full of flavour! Definitely recommend going worth the little extra money. Wonderful place

Hemingway's is a great spot for a casual night out. It's a nice, unpretentious place that offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The prices are reasonable, and the overall experience is fantastic. Nothing over the top or fancy, just a great place to catch up with friends over some drinks and good conversation.

After winning a food challenge at the Tally Ho in Winchburgh (beat me, if you can) I got a £25 voucher for Hemingway’s. Yesterday my wife and I decided to go here for lunch and use my voucher. We checked the brunch menu online and it looked very good. Surprisingly, the restaurant was very quiet. In fact we were the only ones there. The place is luxuriously decorated with many instagramable spots. After wondering around to see if anyone was in (apart from the chefs in the kitchen), we were greeted by a friendly lady. She provided us with the menu and we sat on the comfortable sofa. The menu provided was different from the brunch one on the website but apparently they are experimenting with a new dinner menu and would like feedback before it goes live next week. It didn’t bother us because the menu still looked very nice and unique. Since they are small plates we chose 4 dishes and the lovely waitress, kindly, gave us a 5th dish (the mushroom arancini) for free because it’s a new dish and they desired some feedback. The waitress also provided excellent recommendations on the menu. We went with the sourdough toast with pumpkin seed butter, haggis Bon Bons, the mushroom arancini, the hake and the chicken kebab. All were served in intervals, as everything was cooked fresh, and presented immaculately. My favourite was the arancini which was one of the recommendations. It was incredibly delicious and flavourful. It is presented with lots of Parmesan on top which my wife dislikes so I basically had them all to myself. The other dishes were also very good. The hake came with a curry sauce which had an almost zesty taste which was quite different. We also both loved the bread and pumpkin butter. However, we didn’t learn until afterward that it wasn’t sourdough as the supplier (bakers across the road) was closed so the chef made soda bread instead. Fortunately the soda bread was fantastic, with like a sponge like texture. Although, for best practice, I’d recommend that the diners are informed of the change in the menu prior to them ordering. Overall, the we had a fab time here. The food is at high quality at fair prices. As I said the restaurant is amazingly decorated and even the toilets are lavish. The gents have buckets for emptying your bladder in which is very quirky. The location is also excellent as it’s right on the main road right next to the river. We will definitely be back.

Genuinely great experience. Very cosy and intimate atmosphere. Charming and down to earth staff, helped recommended drinks and explain the menu. Great selection of both classic, and original cocktails. The portion sizes were quite small but that's more than made up for in the quality of ingredients and taste and still left feeling pleasantly full. Although it felt like eating at a fancy restaurant, the bill was very reasonable. Will definitely be going back.

Birthday lunch at the Hemingway’s today. We loved it. The restaurant is decorated with taste and the theme is everywhere even in the toilets. Beautiful restaurant. The food was tasty and the dessert to die for! The Nutella chocolate cake with rose sorbet and pistachio was sooo good! We had two very nice alcool-free cocktails 🍹. We had drinks, a meal, a dessert, a cheese board and dessert and we paid only £42. Very competitive prices for the overall quality 👌🏻 We were pleased to see that everything was in place with the COVID situation. They even checked the temperature at the entrance which is reassuring. Please note that due to the COVID doors are open and it is quite chilly inside - bring a nice scarf with you if you want to feel cosy. Also, the menu is different for lunch. You have a Brunch Menu until 3 pm. We’ll come back at evening as we’d like to try more from the chef. We both had a great time and will definitely come back. Thank you 🙏

Visited for a light meal with my daughter at tea time. Small plates were ideal and with an excellent selection of meat and vegetarian options. Food was delicious served by very helpful and friendly staff. The ladies toilets are stunning and even have a swing for your entertainment. Useful particularly if there is a queue. Love a nice toilet! 😂 Drinks menu looked lovely too.
