Lovely restaurant with excellent food and drink menu. The Wind in the Willows theme is a treat for any fans of the source material. A very chilled atmosphere with delicious food and drinks will definitely return.

Food was very tasty, however on the slightly pricier side for a roast. Also didn’t seem to have the prices on the menu. Very cute and wholesome decor and seating. Great if you have a peanut allergy as they are a no nut kitchen.

Cozy interior and nice staff. However the food lacked flavour. One of us ordered the burger and it was brutaly overcooked and had no taste. The pie with chicken and mushroom had maybe to slizes of mushroom in it. Overall the food was a dissapointment.
Badger & CoResponded on 23 September 2024
Adam, Thank you for your kind words about our cozy interior and staff. We're truly sorry to hear that the food didn't meet your expectations, and we wish we had known during your visit so we could have made it right. We take your feedback seriously and would like to make it up to you. If you could reach out to us at sian.thomas@signaturepubs.co.uk, we’d love the opportunity to address your concerns.

We visited Badgers & Co on 2 occasions on our break in Edinburgh, on both occasions all the staff that we met and dealt with us were friendly and helpful, We all enjoyed our meals and the drinks, the restaurant is located within easy walking distance from Princes Street and is nicely decorated with pictures and figures from the wind in the willows, When we received our bill it was enclosed in a copy of the book , a lovely touch and a tribute to the author who was born within the building, We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will return if we are back in Edinburgh
Badger & CoResponded on 24 September 2024
Maurice, Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure to meet you all during your visit, and we're so glad to hear you enjoyed both your meals and drinks with us. We love that you appreciated the little Wind in the Willows touches — it’s always fun to share the story behind the building! We hope you had a fantastic time in Edinburgh, and we can’t wait to welcome you back the next time you're in town. Safe travels and see you soon! Team Badger

Love the cocktails. Like the food Staff are available, not very conversational. You’ll love it here if you want little interruption and great flavors to sip on. I’ve got to add, the restrooms are adorable with the soundtrack. 💕💕💕
