This is a stylish spot with stunning views over Edinburgh! The signature duck and waffle dish lives up to the hype—crispy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also loved the bacon wrapped dates, pork belly, rolls, chicken, and waffle and lemon merengue waffle, too. Cocktails were well-crafted, and the overall menu offers creative twists on comfort food. Service was friendly and polished. It’s on the pricier side, but perfect for a special meal in a location with a funky vibe.

Duck & Waffle in Edinburgh was an absolute highlight of our trip! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was vibrant, colorful, and completely captivating—it really draws you in and sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. Our server, Kenji, went above and beyond with his kindness and attentiveness. He offered outstanding customer service and made us feel so welcome. And the food—wow! Every dish was exceptional and beautifully crafted. This place is truly a foodie’s paradise. Highly recommend dining here if you're in Edinburgh—you won't be disappointed!

The food was incredible, particularly the duck, which blew my mind. All of the service was professional, graceful, and kind. Christian was an impeccable host for the experience and made this honeymoon meal a highlight of our Edinburgh visit!

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.

Atmosphere and service are truly excellent. The food was reasonably good, for the most part, but not remarkable. In all fairness, we dined on the fixed price “Burns Night” menu which was excellent value for money. I had devilled eggs to start which were not good (just egg whites filled with what tasted like a large dollop of mayonnaise- quite odd) but the haggis was tasty and the lemon posset dessert was very good. Cocktails / wine selection was great, but not cheap - as you’d expect. It’s a really pleasant place to dine and meet with friends & family. I’d definitely return, but I’d hope the à la carte menu is something a little more special than we experienced.
