Best Seasonal Restaurants in Newington

Excellent food and service in nice environment in Edinburgh

Excellent lunch at Hawksmoor food was delicious we chose the quick lunch menu which was great value for money. Staff friendly and attentive without being in your face and lovely surroundings

This is not a cheap option for lunch, but for a special occasion or treat, it is one of my favourite places in Edinburgh. The food, service and ambience are consistently exceptional. Definitely need to book in advance. The phone was busy all lunchtime with people looking for a table that night but they were fully booked.

We had a lovely lunch which was well presented and cooked. We found the portion size quite large so some of our party only had starters which were very satisfying and adequate for us. The staff were very efficient and friendly, chatting when they had time to spend with us.

We had booked afternoon tea but their pastry oven had suddenly broken down so we were told in advance and decided to do lunch instead. On arrival we were greeted by Enrique who took us to a table with a beautiful view of Edinburgh and two complimentary glasses of fizz as an apology for not being able to provide the afternoon tea which was a nice touch. Our lunch was lovely and the Sticky toffee pudding was delicious with a decent dollop of ice cream too. We ordered the house champagne which was lovely. A lovely atmosphere and equally lovely attentive staff. I would recommend it and the afternoon tea as we have experienced it before.
