We discovered this place by accident – with our finger on Google Maps... and the name caught our attention. The reviews were good, so why not try the unusual combination of duck and waffles. Thank you to the staff for their help in choosing, they were very nice and willing to advise, and it was clear that they knew their stuff. My husband ordered what the name suggests, and I had to try the recommended 3-course menu. The taste was fabulous, and the fries are the best I've had in the city so far! I wish you satisfied customers at least as satisfied as I was ❤️❤️

Wonderful, tasty and everything you want out of a good dinner! I'd been travelling six hours, was starving and not even changed out my driving trainers, but still in my work clothes otherwise. I booked here on recommendation and i was not disappointed. Staff were the highlight. They were polite from the minute i walked through door and not once did they skip a beat with manners. It felt like being taken care of rather than waited on. They really help you settle in. They were quite engaged with any questions and i don't think my drink got less than a quarter full before it was replaced. The food was incredible! I went a little safe with the roast chicken but the flavours were very rich. I loved the new Golden Snitch treat. I'm not usually a fan of pear but found the flavours a delightful combination with the chocolate! I wish i could've had more cocktails but had a tattoo the next day. Great Cosmo though. It's really easy to kill a Cosmo with the orange and balance of liquers but this was pretty spot on. The atmosphere inside was very calm, sophisted and whimsical. If you like Harry Potter meets Cloud 9 kind of vibe, then this is is for you. I will definitely be back to try more on my next trip up and hopefully sample more of those cocktails!

I chanced upon this restaurant while touring in Edinburgh, and found the menu unique and the food equally fascinating and delicious. Definitely worth a walk-in for a mouth watering and tantalising dinner on their signature dish, Duck & Waffles as the name goes. Thanks for the great service and lovely food. Enjoy 😋👍

Delicious food and presentation. I had vegetarian breakfast which had vegetarian haggis. The hash brown cube was yummy. Curried beans tasty. The poached eggs were slightly over cooked and small however overall a good quality breakfast. The ambience was great and not busy. There was live music which was very relaxing. There is an issue with booking for a Sunday Roast on the terrace which is indoors this should be clarified on the website. Our Canadian waitress was lovely friendly and attentive. The waiter assigned was literally somewhere else and may have been a trainee he had zero communication skills or any skill in customer service. He couldn’t explain the Bill.

We visited this restaurant on Saturday morning at 9 AM with a pre-booking, but the seating was a disappointment. Even though many tables were available, we were placed right next to the reception area at a small cocktail-style table, which was quite uncomfortable. I had also noted in the reservation that we were celebrating an anniversary, but nothing special was prepared. It would be great if the team could pay more attention to these details, especially for special occasions. However, the experience improved thanks to the service from one of the male waiters. He was attentive and kindly guided us on how to enjoy it properly. Overall, the food was also truly delicious, especially the duck and waffle, and the waiter’s service and the food helped make up for the initial disappointment.
