Mezemeze....the friendly restaurant with a friendly and professional team.The food  was excellent..5 Stars. Many thanks for one of the best lunch in Edinburgh Town.

Great spot by the castle. The portions are huge and everything was fresh and hot. Kids were happy!

Lovely little spot. The pistachio ice cream was so creamy and refreshing, really hit the spot on a warm day. The server was so nice, too.

The rabbit dish was a real treat, not something you see everywhere! Perfect for a relaxed catch-up with friends. The vibe was just right for a long lunch, not too loud so we could actually hear each other. Prices felt pretty reasonable for what you get.

Grilled sea bass with the artichoke pur&eacute;e was spot on. Simple menu, but everything tastes fresh and well-made. Got my order in and out in under 30 minutes, which is perfect for a quick lunch.

Great spot in New Town, always buzzing. The walk-in only policy keeps it relaxed. We waited about 20 minutes for a table, but it was fine. Had the steak frites &ndash; cooked just right, crispy chips. A solid local choice.

Love that you can BYO here. Popped into the bottle shop round the corner first, grabbed a nice red. Made the whole dinner feel so relaxed and easy. Perfect for a low-key night out.

The pizza was honestly so good for the price. Had one with a pint, came to just over &pound;20. The crust was perfect, really hit the spot.

Seasonal menu, local produce. Chicken schnitzel was spot on. Salmon with whiskey sauce, really good. Cocktails were interesting, not too sweet.

Been my spot for a cheap bite for ages. The steak bake is solid, and the Katsu curry one hits the spot. Picked up a decent bottle of red from the shop next door to go with it last time &ndash; made for a proper, no-fuss dinner.

Been coming here for years, it&rsquo;s my local. The staff are friendly, a bit all over the place sometimes, but it&rsquo;s part of the charm. Feels like home. Good place to have a pint and chat.

Came for a quick lunch. Food was solid, cooked well. Service was fast and efficient, which is what I needed. Atmosphere felt a bit formal for a casual bite, but it&#39;s fine. Got me in and out quickly.

Crispy gnocchi with pesto and mozzarella. Perfect for a quick lunch. Texture was interesting - crispy outside, chewy inside. Flavour&#39;s good. Came out fast, which is what I needed.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. Really made the evening easy.

Prawn linguine was excellent, best I&#39;ve had in a while. Partner&#39;s smoked salmon salad also very good, fresh ingredients. Service was polite and efficient. Convenient location for a business lunch.

The burgers are seriously good - juicy and flavourful. My friends and I had a great time sharing a couple over some drinks. The staff were really nice and checked in on us just the right amount. Perfect for a casual catch-up.

The service here is exceptional! Our server Liv was attentive and provided great recommendations, enhancing our dining experience significantly.

Love the open kitchen here. You can watch the chefs cook your food right in front of you. It&rsquo;s pretty cool and makes the whole meal more interesting. Just a bit warm sitting so close to it, but a fun spot.

The staff were so friendly and attentive. They brought us iced water right away without us having to ask.

A decent neighbourhood spot with a French twist on Scottish ingredients. The menu&#39;s got enough variety to please most. Had the haggis croquettes &ndash; pretty good flavour, though the portion felt a touch small for the price.

Dosa menu is huge, had to ask the server for a recommendation. Went with the classic masala one - came out piping hot, edges were properly crisp. The chutneys were fresh too. Portion felt a bit small for the price, but the quality was there.

Love the fresh ingredients here. The salad was crisp and the chicken was perfectly grilled. A nice spot for a healthy meal.

Been here a few times. The grilled fish is always spot on, juicy and not dry. Halloumi fries are decent, good for sharing. It&#39;s a cozy spot, feels like a proper local taverna. Prices are fair for the area.

The chicken baguette was the standout. Properly juicy, good flavour. Solid selection of sandwiches and pastries overall. Service was efficient, got my order quickly. Convenient for a working lunch.

The venison haunch was great, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. The house cognac cocktail was a nice touch though.

The doner kebab is the thing here. The meat is always juicy, never dry, and the seasoning is just right. It&#39;s consistently good every time I order.

Stumbled in by chance. The Pizza Stella was just right, the crust had that perfect chewy pull. The whole vibe was so relaxed, didn&rsquo;t feel rushed at all. A nice little surprise.

The broth in their pho is so clean and light, not greasy at all. That little fried dough stick on the side was a perfect touch.

The Montreal cheesesteak was tasty, and the wings were solid. But what really stood out was the space itself&mdash;high ceilings, lots of natural light, and those comfy booths. It just felt like a really nice, relaxed place to eat.
