Best Seasonal Restaurants in Newington

We celebrated our anniversary at Merchants, and it was a truly delightful experience. The ambiance was beautiful, and the food was outstanding. Logan provided exceptional service, making our visit even more special. We highly recommend Merchants!

Great tasting food and the service was attentive we had oysters as a taster which was a great experience. Salmon was fabulous and the filet steak was out of this world. Loved it. The staff were great with the right level of attentiveness and brought all we asked with a smile and some light chat. The restaurant is a little cool if you sit in the corridor on the lower floor.

Edinburghs The ivy:19/12/24 The waitress and the waiter were really nice the food sounds good and some... Interesting. Its kind of noisy. The drinks: The drinks were really nice my mother says it's really nice she also says it is fruity and goes down easily. The looks: It looks really nice there's candle's in the middle of each table the view has to much construction though there's lamps in the middle of each window to the paintings in the back are... Kind of nice actually there's a leaf in a corner of the room which I like The starter: The smoke salmon was amazing and wonderful especially with the lemon best smoke smalon ever. The foods time to come. Its taken a long time. The main course: The fish was exquisite one of a kind and the chips were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WAY BETTER THAN THE SMOKE SALMON WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE BEST the mushy peas were... Weird and the ribeye steak was good but burgers are still better. The dessert: Since it was my sister's birthday I got a FREE dessert and it's part of a birthday cake AND trust me IT'S TO DIE FOR!!! The bill: The bill is way less than I thought just 231!?!? THAT'S A BARGAIN ESPECIALLY FOR HOW MUCH WE GOT! The rating: The final rating is... 4.5 stars🌟⭐🌟⭐ Review by Ollie Smith

Cafe St H used to be a favourite when I worked regularly in Edinburgh. Hadn’t been in 5 years but was really happy to find that nothing had changed. Terrine and cod were both perfectly cooked, sourdough is to die for, and the staff made my daughter feel special. In times of change so good to see somethings’ remain timeless. More Paris than most Paris restaurants - and it was full !

Think the place is an excellent place to eat and enjoy the company of friends, Have not been in the evening but lunches are certainly very good. Staff are friendly and helpful
