Top tags:

Twenty Princes Street presents an elegant and stunning setting that is sure to bewitch even the most cosmopolitan of patrons with a seamless mix of traditional elegance and contemporary design. A distinguishing feature of the restaurant is the lush, capacious banquettes carefully positioned to make the most of the vistas. And with massive triple-height windows that offer picture perfect views of the skyline. Chef Paul Ritchie demonstrates his culinary flair with an inventive and eclectic menu that keeps pace with the seasons and uses the finest locally sourced ingredients. There’s an exciting choice of fish and seafood dishes while the selection of steaks are a signature of the restaurant. This restaurant offering guests a trendy and sophisticated hangout whatever the occasion, where dining is refreshingly informal and an atmosphere that’s glamorous but not glitzy. And for pre- or post-prandial drinks and conversations, our bar Juniper is the perfect destination.

I often visit 20 Princes Street with friends. It's nice and quiet (because it's spacious, with half-booths) and the food is fine. I'm vegetarian and my only criticism would be that there's not much veggie choice - but that's true of most restaurants. The staff were very friendly. We'll go again.

This is our 3 time in 7 months we have been here to eat due to distance between where everyone now lives being close to train station is s bonus. Requesting a booth as some of the party have hearing issues is key. Staff are brilliant, informative and attentive. Rafael yesterday gets a special mention. Food is good value for money and restaurant is bright airy, elegant and spacious. Highly recommend

I was very disappointed, having visited a number of times before. There was a dreadful smell, Particularly on the staircase but within the restaurant area too. It was a damp and unclean smell. The toilets were dirty and the place is beginning to look tired and grubby (paint/ wall paper peeling, curtains hanging of rails, dirty carpets and broken toilet). Staff were pleasant but there was a lack of attention to detail, such as my having to ask for a childrens menu after we’d been sat down for 10 minutes. I felt overall the place needs a good scrub and freshen up.

Dined with my partner and have dined here many times and thoroughly enjoyed each time until this visit… We both had starters which were fine. We both ordered fillet steak cooked medium. They both arrived together, one pink in the middle perfect medium. The other was very well done, dry and grey. Not once were we asked if everything was ok. Bill with drinks and wine was £180

The restaurant was beautiful and the food great. Our waiter was fantastic, very attentive and helpful. My only complaint is that when I booked I asked for a table with a view of Princess Street as I had a friend visiting from abroad. We were seated right at the back of the restaurant next to the doors opening and closing, going into the kitchen. The host who took us to our table told us is was a great table...

Lovely service and staff. Food was a little delayed coming out, staff were very apologetic and helpful in keeping us informed and topped up on drinks. When food did arrive it was full of flavour and didn’t last long on the plate! Thanks for a lovely meal

We had lunch there on. Friday. Restaurant was quiet however, we were seated in a booth near the window which provided spectacular views of the town. We chose from the lunchtime specials menu, 3 courses for £22. Good choices and the quality of food was very good. Nice wine and excellent service. Will definitely go again for lunch.

Met up with family for first outing in a few years. Picked this place for location and good experience last time. Glad to say it was another very good experience with excellent seating overseeing the gardens and monuments. The 3 course lunch and wine was excellent as was the service throughout. We all left with that nice feeling of having has really good experience worthy of us all getting back together again after such a long time. So definitely recommended whether your locals to Edinburgh like us or just visiting. Number 20 is a real treat.

Food was exceptionally average- The salmon appetiser had far too much salt, the carrot soup was bland, the sea bass( main course) came with an extremely watery sauce, the beetroot salad was disappointing. Presentation was great, excellent ambience, cocktails were very good, staff were polite and friendly. Unfortunately, I would only return for drinks.

I was slightly disappointed with what I initially perceived as a limited menu, but the high standard of the food more than compensated for that. The service was superb and the ambience was fabulous. We were fortunate in having a window seat and benefited greatly from a view over Princes Street. We will certainly return. Thank you for a lovely evening.
