Old Bell Inn in Edinburgh

Really nice authentic pub with a great atmosphere! We discovered it by accident one evening and decided to give it a try. Oh boy, we were not disappointed. We liked it so much that we came back a second time during our stay in Edinburgh. The first evening we tried the haggis from their menu (my girlfriend had the veggie option). Both meals were so delicious (the pepper sauce is to die for)! The second evening we ordered both the veggie haggis. Compliments to the chef! Also, the staff was very attentive! The young guy behind the bar recommended a really tasty and smooth whiskey. All in all, an awesome experience.

Looked after us so well. Not been there for a long time but really enjoyed ourselves. Friendly and efficient staff. Great evening. Thanks for looking after us.

Awesome, we had haggis, bangers, haddock and steak pie…absolutely delicious. Staff and premises were great as well. Will come back

Fantastic place. Great ambience and comfortable... when you can get a seat, that is! For the place was busy, and reservations were clearly recommended. We got lucky, however, and were able to get a seat without a prior booking.The food was very good. I had haggis, neaps and tatties and would score it 10/10. The other half had an enormous fish and chips which tasted great... but the chips were only warm-ish. A solid 8/10 there, then.What made the place really exceptional, however, was the staff. Friendly and welcoming and always professional, they allowed us to open a tab without knowing us or ever asking for ID or credit card details. They just trusted us, which was good for all parties as it made it very easy for us to order additional drinks or food items! A simple settling up as we left concluded a very happy visit. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice atmosphere and good food at a reasonable price. Staff really helpful. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic food, staff and a lovely cosy atmosphere. We were staying in a B&B up the road and we came here for a late dinner at 7. It was a cosy kind of busy that's not overwhelming. I had the halloumi burger and it was amazing. Normally restaurants salt the halloumi to the point of a sore mouth but it was perfect as well as the fries. Overall all very nice. 👍

The staff is amazingly kind, good beer and beautiful food. I just love the atmosphere as well.

Very cute and cosy, traditional pub, enjoyed the beautiful Christmas decorations

The staff are friendly and the meals were good.I mistakenly gave one of the staff an extra ten pounds when I paid the bill and he came over to my table with the ten pounds. I thanked him for his honesty and gave him a tip. I would definitely go back and company should be proud to have such reliable and honest people working for them. Well done to the staff.

Nice cosy little place in the Mayfield area just outside the centre of Edinburgh. Decent ales and some lovely food. The Balmoral Chicken and Haggis, neeps & tatties pictured here were both served with a peppercorn whisky sauce and were very tasty indeed.
