A Michelin one-star restaurant in Edinburgh, which feels better than many Michelin two-star restaurants in London. The food is delicious, the wine is not expensive, and the owner is very polite.

I went to eat with my friends. It takes more than 2k to get to MW from Waverley Station. We set out early in the morning and walked, strolled and chatted in the wind. I only remember that the baguette was delicious. After eating, we went to the dome for afternoon tea. Now I think it is also the most delicious and cost-effective afternoon tea, no doubt about it.

You need to make a reservation in advance for this restaurant, otherwise you won't be able to eat there. The steaks here are very authentic, standard Wellington steaks with a crispy crust. The caramel egg rolls are delicious, and the waiters are also very enthusiastic.

I saw this restaurant on the Chinese introduction of the hotel, so I went to try it. The dishes tasted pretty good. The shark fin was quite good, very flavorful, much better than those in domestic restaurants.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere. It is said that it was originally an authentic warehouse in the 19th century. The decoration is very beautiful and the food is also excellent.

We had a fantastic dinner at Gaucho. Our waiters (2 really friendly Italian) took good care of us, were engaging, fun, polite and made the atmosphere fantastic. The food was stunning, one of the best steaks I had in years, same for my partner. I would definitely recommend Gaucho to anyone looking for a meat experience.

Excellent food, we were amazed by the quality of the stake, the sauce has added an additional flavour making it flavourable

This is a restaurant near Calton Hill. The Western food they serve is very famous in Edinburgh. The fried fish is delicious. I saw every table ordered it, so I ordered one too. It was indeed delicious, and the fish skin was very crispy.

A very famous Scottish restaurant, recommended by a friend, the dishes are amazing

The restaurant's fence gives people a very strange feeling, and the dishes are very exquisite, making people reluctant to eat them.

I had an incredible experience at Heron! The attention to detail in both the food and service is remarkable. Every course was a highlight, and I can't wait to return for another tasting menu.

This is a relatively high-end restaurant in Edinburgh. The dim sum they serve is very good and delicious. They are all British specialties. The entrance is very large and you can easily find it by following the navigation.

We had a very pleasant dinner at Number One restaurant. The restaurant had a luxurious, warm, and elegant ambiance. The food was delicious, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The service was impeccable and attentive.

Rhubarb is a high-end restaurant with its own special plates. The seafood they serve is very good. The pea soup tastes very good, and the fried squid is delicious, but the portion is too small.

I give 6 stars for the food. I have never had anything as good as this before. The soy milk, wagyu beef, and smoked potatoes were all delicious. The combination of the various parts of the dish was also perfect, I give it 5 stars. I also give 6 stars for the service and the wine list was great. I am at a loss for words when it comes to Rhubarb.
