The City Restaurant in Edinburgh

Greeted by the most friendly staff upon arrival and that hospitality continued throughout our visit. The restaurant was incredibly clean and you could see that every meal was being cooked fresh to order. The food was absolutely perfect and serving time was fast. The hard work from the staff was reflected in their impeccible standards; 10/10 for everything.

Nice location, friendly staff. Food is a bit expensive for what it is; like an above-average up-market chip-shop. Fish had lovely light batter, chips were good. Worth a try.

Good value restaurant. Clean. Friendly service. Excellent fish.

Great food! Good range of things you can get. Went for lunch and had the full breakfast as well as the pancakes and absolutely loved it.

Excellent service, excellent food. Tried the Haggis Neeps and Tatties and it was amazing! Child friendly to boot!

Great solid breakfast, nice atmosphere, great service. They also let you switch items on the menu if you don’t like an item. I would highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Edinburgh or a local. See footage of this restaurant on my YouTube channel - Brooklyn Londoner.

Ate here 2 nights in a row while on a solo trip. Brilliant. I actually found out about this place while reading a review for another chippy, the reviewer slated that place and suggested City instead. What a great suggestion 👍🏻😊1st night I had Haggis, Neeps & Tatties and dessert was Fried Mars Bar and Icecream. Never tried either before and really enjoyed them.2nd night I just had Traditional Fish & Chips which was huge so couldn't handle a pudding. Fish was so soft and not fatty, really good. Chips were perfectly cooked, not soggy.Will definitely be coming back here (with friends) very soon.I would advise you reserve a table as there was a queue for walk-ins.

Have you ever tried fried (battered) pizza? That is delicious ;) And you should try battered mars bar.

The tempura prawns and the battered sea bass were spectacular!!! (Although we wouldn't recommend the chips here.) The staff was also very kind and friendly!

Visited this restaurant for a Monday evening meal. The restaurant was suggested by a native of Edinburgh & we went for the classic home comforts Scottish/UK meal experience - Haggis, Neeps & Tatties and Fish & Chips. We ordered the Breaded Haddock which was one of the tastiest & least oily fish & chips that we have had. In other restaurants, we have had a few bad experiences with fish drowned in oil & forgettable chips, but this was a pleasant experience.The haggis was grainy, chunky, not very smooth & the quantity was a little less compared to the turnips & mashed potatoes. But the star attraction of the H, N & T was the whisky sauce which elevated the dish to a new dimension.Good service & ambience too.Satisfied customers!They also serve burgers, pizzas, pastas, salads and their breakfast spread looks tempting, will try it the next time we are in the city.
