Angels with Bagpipes

Festive lunch menu for a birthday. Food, service and ambience all excellent. Modern decor restaurant in the heart of the Old Town. Definitely worth return visits.

6th time i’ve eaten here and it is always superb, consistently excellent food and service. The lunch menu is always great value for money and makes a great early dinner. I always recommend angels with bagpipes, its a little oasis on the royal mile

Very intimate place, excellent food and very attentive staff. Steak was cooked to perfection and the creamy mash with chive was smooth and flavoursome. I would absolutely recommend trying this place. It's a little hidden gem.

The service was exceptional, right up to the point I settled the bill. Then it was' your coat is over there!' Otherwise, it would have warranted 5 stars. The food was lovely, but not much of it. 2 courses, in and out under an hour.

Too expansive for what was served.
Wine too hot..
But still a nice place

Set up a great little space for us after requesting additional room to fit a small pram for our 5 month old when booking. Amazing food, and fantastic drinks (mulled wine best we've had in city). Will always recommend to friends and family if they visit Edinburgh.

I felt very disappointed that the service from the front door staff was in my opinion, rude.
We arrived early and waited for our table, we weren't offered a drink while we waited.
After waiting 20mins to get seated which was 10-15 minutes after our booked time we got taken to our seated after I ordered us drink at the bar.
The waitress avd waiter who served us were lovely but by this point I felt our experience had been very unpleasant.
The food was good but I wouldn't not recommend to friends or family to go there on the bases that first impressions make a big impact and for the price and expectation we had, satisfaction was not met.

Service was brill, lovely ambience would strongly recommend anyone to go but book(use the app its easy)

As always, lovely food served by attentive and well trained staff. They were especially careful concerning my restricted diet and checked that what I ordered was safe for me to eat.
The set menu was competitively priced and the mince pie martini was superb.

We were disappointed. We were in a lower room. Waiter was nice but we had no view.

Lovely restaurant on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, service very good, pleasant atmosphere, food beautifully presented and very tasty.
Would recommend.

The menu seemed great however, the value for money was definitely disappointing!

A very unassuming place from the outside we walked past in the day and worried that we had booked into a cafe for dinner, however inside is a very well decorated tardis of a restaurant with some of the nicest food I’ve had in a while, would highly recommend and would certainly return without hesitation.

We were so lucky to get a table at this restaurant, it's so popular, we've eaten here a few times & is always lovely, food is excellent , staff welcoming, polite & efficient. Great xmas cocktail

Second visit due to the great food which didn’t disappoint. Slightly disappointed in the service this time as the staff seemed very miserable!

A great lunch venue; centrally located and easy to access. We sat downstairs in a quiet area and enjoyed great service and wonderful food.

Excellent food & service. We ate from the special lunch menu which excellent value for money. Fantastic wine list. Really enjoyed the Malbec

The staff is really friendly, they can help you with the menu or wine choice. The lunch menu is good. Variety of dishes, the salmon as starter and the beef as main was a good choice! Good food for a nice price!

The staff were very pleasant, attentive and willing. The food was absolutely delicious with a great bottle of wine recommended by the waitress. We will definitely be making a return visit on our next trip to Edinburgh.

With such an evocative name, we expected a special atmosphere here. The ambience unfortunately, while smart, is more suited to executive lunches than romantic dinners. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food absolutely beautiful (we both had steak). It's pricey, but I would go back for the food and service. Just look elsewhere for a romantic atmosphere!

Very friendly staff service was professional and friendly the food was amazing

We dine in many fine restaurants around Europe and have been dining at Angels since it opened, and to be honest, it is probably our favourite.

Took pot luck by booking on line at a restaurant I had never tried before. Especially as I was trying to impress my friends. Having been in the catering industry for 50 years it was good to find somewhere that serves good honest food. Do not like having to pay extra for vegetables though.Friendly staff and spotlessly clean.

I have recommended to many people in the past but reluctant after my recent visit. Very limited menu I didn’t think it was good value as I have before. We would normally have 3 courses but only had a main. Wouldn’t recommend dining around 5.30pm as very young children and the lunch ladies who have had one glass too many ...... it wasn’t relaxing. Shame as this was always a ‘go to’ of mine!

The service and the food were excellent. I'll make another appointment next time I come to Edinburgh.

Although it was nice I was hoping for a little more of a romantic feel and traditional Scottish menu.
I am not sure the theme of the restaurant to the name of it.
The overall view for me was disappointing as I looked for this for the romance feel and recommendations of high value of Michelin possibility although the food was nice it didn’t give me the wow factor I was hoping for.

We had a lovely long girls lunch at Angels with Bagpipes. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had a small issue with one of the main courses but it was handled so smoothly and courteously that we were completely won over! Don’t be fooled by the location- this isn’t a tourist trap! Would highly recommend.

3rd time in less than 2 years and we live in Manchester. Still the best food we have ever eaten. Simply brilliant.

A lovely restaurant on the Royal Mile! Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere, the staff were very professional and friendly! Would recommend a visit!

Wonderful!

Had a lovely 3 course lunch here on 19th November and it was faultless. Nice choice for the fixed lunch at £21.75 which was amazing value for lovely food. Brilliant service and a lovely restaurant. Will definitely be back.

This was a recommendation on a visit to Edinburgh and it was a great place to visit. We did the tasting menu with paired wines which was lovely. both the plates and the wine were described at each course and the staff always checked if we wanted to wait a moment between courses and were attentive throughout. I would certainly revisit and I would definitely recommend. Thanks!

Excellent food, very much enjoyed our evening at angels with bagpipes.

I love this restaurant and have visited on 3 occasions. This was the first time I sat down stairs. I have to say that the ambiance wasn't as good and the sense of occasion was lessened. Other than that the food was of its usual high standard and the service, was efficient, if a little cold. If I could offer a suggestion, it would be that the downstairs toilet area ,in particular the corridor leading to it is spruced up, as it is in not in keeping with the fine surroundings.

In summation an enjoyable night was had by all, all plates cleared with gusto including my 6 years olds and we look forward to returning soon.

Friendly staff, great food, and a great location - I would definitely recommend a visit.

This place is amazing, the staff are so friendly and helpful, it’s a very special place. The food is outstanding, it’s not cheap, but you only get what you pay for.

Lovely evening spent with friends. Food was delicious- compliments to the chef and staff

Very friendly and friendly staff, haggis starter was very tasty and the lamb was cooked perfectly pink.
The staff were very tentative to everyone's needs, lovely place to dine

Best value lunch in Edinburgh we have had for a while.
We were seated in the small booth on the right which was perfect as we were celebrating our anniversary of when we met ( 53 years ago)
We felt very well looked after by the friendly staff ( Monica) and were so impressed, we bought a gift voucher for our son and his wife to enjoy a similar dining experience.
Thank you and best wishes.

Food was amazing! Very tasty and good sized portions. Lovely ambiance and staff. Toilets could do with a thorough clean though.
