Had a great time at Cold Town House. We are visiting from NZ and have a picture of this building at our home from Scottish family of the Grassmarket from 1840. Was awesome to be able to have lunch in that very same building. Great food and service. Really enjoyed the atmosphere on the roof top terrace.

The rooftop was a vibe! The dj was brilliant and the staff fun. Food was basic and not good value for money. Drinks were good but my wine glass was dirty. Toilets were passable.

We absolutely loved it here! My husband and I came here on one of our very first dates so we decided to celebrate his 30th birthday here too and we were so impressed! Staff were absolutely amazing and so friendly and the drinks were delicious! The fire kept us so warm even when it got colder and we had the best time!

Service could be a little slow. They were fast when we arrived but we were sitting with our empty plates for a while before we managed to get someone over. That being said, the food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were lovely too!

Delicious pizza, loaded fries and frickles on the rooftop in the sunshine... and it's worth a visit just for the disco ball tree! Bliss.

We stayed on the rooftop terrace and it was magical. Seeing the sun set and the castle and everything while eating absolutely delicious food was an experience we won’t forget. Service was amazing, we got a birthday cake as requested.

Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad you had a magical time on the rooftop terrace—sunsets, castle views, great food, and a birthday celebration all sound like the perfect combo. Delighted to hear the service and birthday surprise hit the mark too. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable visit soon!
