    Took my family here, it was a nice Scottish menu with high quality food and good value for money. We had a lovely time and will be recommending it to all our friends and family. My girlfriend’s comments were ‘this is the best food I’ve ever eaten, I would have this as my death row meal’. Take that as you will but think she liked it!

    Amazing meal catching up with some old friends who we hadn’t seen for over 20 years. Food and service was amazing. Our guests (who are very well traveled) were very impressed with the quality of the food. Delicious.

    Wonderful food in the heart of Old Town on the Royal Mile. Stopped here between the Castle and Ghost Tour and thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine.

    Food, wine and service were excellent. The Scottish crab with lemon crumpet was absolutely amazing. Flavors and textures combined wonderfully. One of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

    We had a really nice evening at Angels & Bagpipes. I am a little skeptical of all the touristy spots on the Royal Mile, but this hidden (in the open) gem was a surprise and delight. The food was excellent, and this tiny place was very cute in back. My husband raved about the sea trout. I had the chicken appetizer and a salad - both of which were good; the chicken much more so. Caesar was nothing to write home about. Definitely worth a try.

    This is a fantastic Scottish restaurant that pays attention to the small details, have a unique menu, and a professional service. Location is right at the Royal Mile of Edinburgh, toilets are clean. Prices are a bit high, but I found it worth paying.
