Timberyard in Edinburgh

Fabulous tasting menu with awesome vegetarian dishes in place of some meat courses. Absolutely wonderful in parts and overall a great experience, loved the ambiance and feel of the place. Great service and attention to detail.

Scallop was amazing. Best scallop dishes ever.! But other menus were wee disappointed. There are more better taste and cost-efficient restaurants in Edinburgh. Parts of this restaurant may be not worth.

Great setting. We had the tasting menu. Absolutely fabulous food. The service great and very friendly. Dealt with our dietary requirements extremely well. Wine list is a bit daunting but ask and you will get expert relaxed help. Truly exceptional experience. Very full afterwards.

Lovely restaurant. Great testing menu with lovely matched wines. Friendly helpful staff. A little pricey.

A great place for a special occasion (not cheap!). The food is imaginative and beautifully presented, the staff friendly and competent. Loved the decor as well.

Just amazing course from start to the end. Every dish on tasting course was just perfect. Particular favourite with pea & mint mousse salad, halibut and plus sorbet was my favourite.

Outstanding!! Timberyard was a culinary experience beyond any of our expectations (and our expectations were high!). It felt like you were transported to a natural, earthy and soothing haven where the service was choreographed perfectly to flow like water.As avid fans of tasting menus, we had the 5 course tasting menu (in reality you get 8 plates of delicious morsels of food as the first 3 we're considered as "snacks") with wine pairing and it truly knocked our socks off!Everything was seasonal, some ingredients foraged and each item was well thought of - from the positioning of our water bottles on the table to the arrival of each plate - every detail was designed to perfection.

We wanted to have a special lunch somewhere in Edinburgh and ended up settling on Timberyard, and we certainly weren't disappointed. The sun was shining so we sat outside in their little garden area which is delightful. The staff were all very friendly and service was pretty quick. They were careful to note down the various allergies we have which is always reassuring. We had a couple of drinks before the food came which were great; I especially enjoyed their take on a mint julep. Then when the food came that was just as good. I'm always up for trying new combinations of flavours and textures, but I sometimes find that it seems like the chef is just throwing together ingredients that don't really synergise in hope of creating something 'bold and new'. However, here everything felt like it was executed deliberately and precisely, and the result of that was an array of dishes that utilised ingredients in ways that I have not experienced before, but that were fantastic. I especially enjoyed the combination of mackerel and gooseberries in the starter. It always makes me sad to see people online talking about British cuisine as if it's all bland and boring, but that just makes me all the more happy that there are places like this open, that are helping to change that preconception by serving fantastic dishes that draw on local produce. I cannot recommend it enough. If any of you happen to read this review, I'd just like to say thank you very much indeed to all the staff in the kitchen and front of house, we had a great time!

It was alright! The best thing was the service. We had the quail, the mackerel, turbot, duck and oysters. The food was on the sweet side and the cocktails were very average. It’s a nice place for the vibe, but I might spend the money on food elsewhere.

Up there with the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! Had an incredible experience from start to finish. The wine list is enormous (32 pages?!) and the sommelier was so helpful in giving much needed advice as to what to order. Food was delicious, I was very well catered for as a vegetarian and my friend being coeliac. Beautiful layout and very relaxed. Can’t recommend enough for a special occasion.
