Cafe Andaluz Edinburgh in Edinburgh

Great food, good service and nice atmosphere. Range of tapas dishes were excellent and supremely tasty, huge wine list but we went for a good old San Miguel. Other options are available if you don't fancy Tapas. Can definitely recommend a visit.

Had a lovely meal with friends, 1 being Spanish, is a compliment in itself, amazing aroma as soon as you walk in, friendly & welcoming staff, relaxed atmosphere and value, with offers of tapas menu before 630pm etc. Will definately be back.

There are only a few places where you can find a proper south-Spanish food outside of Spain. The charcuterie was great and the paella delicious. Fresh and tasty flavours

Honestly, I don't have many words to describe the fantastic experience we had.We went to this restaurant recommended by a friend who lives in Edinburgh.We were presented with an employee, his name Carlos, who was one of the most sympathetic service I've ever seen, and I work in the hotel industry. We left all the decisions in his hands, he chose all the best tapas for us, and they were all amazing.The service was quick, and people like Carlos can really make the difference in a gastronomic experience of thus type.For the management, it is important to retain people with this ability to provide a service of excellenceI will recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family who are going to visit Edinburgh.

Lovely food and a beautiful ascetic environment, staff could have been a little more friendly and engaging but they weren't unwelcoming. Possibly just down to the mask mandate - making conversation between server and customer a little difficult! Did not dissapoint though, had a lovely meal.

I don’t say this often, but I really did not enjoy the food. It was really low quality. Four waiters walked past me multiple times and didn’t even look up to take my order. I had to ask three different waiters if I could order before someone finally cane. The meat tasted so old on a few of the tapas. The only two things I can recommend highly here are the Scallops and the cappuccino (with the sweet treat they gave you on the side).Go with caution and read the reviews before you order dishes.

My first experience eating tapas! They have a wide range of vegetarian/vegan selections. I would recommend the couscous with aubergine; I liked it the best out of the three veggie options I tried.

Such a fab hidden little gem.We went for lunch and didn't need a booking, however we may have been just lucky as it was very busy.The food is good and we opted for the tapas special. I enjoyed what we picked, especially the black pudding with the cold chutney, it was an unusual, but surprisingly nice mix.Great place for lunch or a bite before a show. Ideal for get togethers as the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable.

This place was one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Every single tapas dish was beyond delicious. I would recommend the £24.95 set menu, in particular. The chorizo and the goats cheese stood out to me as being particularly delicious. The service was excellent too, and I found the staff to be efficient and friendly, even though it was super busy. At one point they took slightly longer to bring me a Coke Zero, but then apologised and said it was on the house, without me even asking them about the drink twice. I thought that was very decent. The restaurant also has a lovely vibe, and I was surprised time and again by the quality and large quantity of food we got. When the coffee came at the end, it came with a piece of tablet, which I appreciated as a tourist! I’d definitely recommend this place and I will be back next time in Edinburgh for sure!

This is a very pretty and bustling restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. I came here with my partner after trying to convince her how good Spanish food can be but unfortunately cafe Andaluz didn't seal that message for me.We got the mixed chicken and seafood paella which honestly I was expecting to be wonderful and just like you'd get in Spain but unfortunately it was not. There was no socarrat on the paella, the squid and prawns were very overcooked and it overall lacked seasoning and depth of flavour. We ordered Catalan pan to go with and whilst it tasted okay the tomatoes tasted tinned and portion size was too small. The sangria was nice as were the churros.I'm underwhelmed by my experience however I might give it another go at some point in the distant future and try tapas rather than paella.
