"Heard that this was one of the better places in Edinburgh to visit if you wanted a good cocktail. So this is were we headed. On approach it looks very posh (well it is in George Street) and inside the decor is rather grand if a little open and cold. No doubt this works well on weekends with large groups. We ordered some bar nibbles roast nut mix and the marinated olives. Good sized bowls and rather tasty with the cocktails. I was pleasantly surprised with the cocktails, they are a decent size with a good whack of alcohol. For approx £8 a cocktail you would hope so, but I've paid more for a lot less. We started of with two Brambles and then slowly worked our way through the menu. The Bramble cocktail is gin, lemon juice and Creme du Mure served over crushed ice with a slice of lemon and a hint of blackberries. It was lovely! We managed to get a nice seat in the corner by the window and spent the night listening to the DJ, sipping cocktails and talking nonsense. A fabulous way to spend a Friday evening."

a great culinary experience, although the portions were a little small, but we enjoyed it to the last spoon. the vegetarian options are really good .the mushroom lasagne the beet root salat both are to die for.must visit View menu

we got a great table and respected the highest standards. the menu is not extensive or special. we had the burger, not bad, but not great. all in order. would have expected something special in the presentation, garnish and more than just the slightly obvious frozen chips.

the printing press bar kitchen is located in the george street and takes the former house of susan ferrier, a highly praised Scottish romantic from the 19th century. before I traveled to edinburgh, I have made some researches into restaurants and cheap reviews of this restaurant appearing again and again. the restaurant offers modern Scottish cuisine in a casual environment.

Absolutely awful. No sanitizer in the dispenser. Slow service, incorrect order and when we pointed out the errors were ‘huffed’ at. No atmosphere and no Xmas decorations inside. Poor choice of cocktails and expensive even for the area. Sad as the last time I was there pre covid had a lovely meal exciting theatrical cocktail and great service. Would not rush back and certainly not recommending. View menu

Fine food and lovely place. I had the chicken breast with creamy mash potatoes , cabbage and wild mushroom. It was absolutely Devine, especially the gravy The cod croquette were well balanced in flavour with just the right amount of salt the enhance the flavour of the cod I had the chocolate fondant with a soft vanilla Madagascar I think) ice scream scoop. It wasn’t special but still enjoyable

We decided to pop in here for a Christmas eve meal as it looked lovely and shiny! I was gutted to have missed the Printing Press launch event a couple months ago so was really pleased to finally check it out. In my usual fashion, I ordered a cocktail the last word which was good but quite potent. Husband went for an Innis and Gunn beer. For our mains, I chose the mince and tatties and husband went for the dry aged highland beef burger. I was surprised by how flavoursome the mine and tattoos were absolutely divine and not what you'd expect with a bog standard version of mince/tatties. I had a bite of the burger too and it was good. The chips were beautifully cooked and tasty too. I thoroughly...
