"I’m a big ice cream fan and have tried many spots throughout the city. I decided to try this branch at the recommendation of a friend, travelling an hour out of my way to try it. I was stupendously disappointed, both by the place and the ice cream they are apparently so famous for. I chose to sit in in the cafe upstairs so I could have a more elaborate sundae. I ordered a fudge sundae with some extra toppings. The ice cream itself seemed rather bland. The flavour wasn’t at all noticeable and the toppings were sparse at best. Additionally, there were definite problems going on within the staff. The waiter who served me was very sweet and made sure I had everything I needed, a very young man who was incredibly friendly. But there was a very unpleasant woman who was frequently back and forth throughout the place who I assume to be some form of management. The staff definitely seemed on edge around her and she wasn’t particularly pleasant when I stopped her to ask about the take away tubs this was only because she was transporting some. Her attitude rather upset me as despite the lacklustre sundae, I was rather enjoying my time there. I had planned on taking some home, hoping the tubs would be better when I could add my own toppings. Although, after this experience I decided to quickly get my bill from the (very efficient) waiter and leave immediately. I certainly wouldn’t wish to return and would recommend others don’t attend either."

Love the ice cream! Every time I visit my home town I have to have one. Although parking is horrendous.

Staff was not very friendly and looked impatient when our kids were trying to decide on the ice cream flavour.

I went there on a school trip to find that it is £5 per ice cream, a complete rip off in my opinion Will not be revisiting

A regular visitor and always have excellent value and delicious food. Staff very helpful and friendly. My only gripe is they can shut a little early but you'll not get a better ice cream sundae in Edinburgh! View menu

Having been a Patron of Lucas for many many years I was disgusted by the behaviour and attitude of the assistant when paying for my purchase. Refused to accept a fifty pound note (from which there would be 4.99 change!! and was downright ignorant. Will never set foot in this place again.

We took away a milkshake (dark choc and coconut) £3.75 and a lemon sorbet cone. Milkshake was good but still had a scoop of ice cream at the bottom so hadn’t been mixed properly, I just let it sit in the sun some more and it was fine though. The lemon sorbet was lovely too. If it’s nice take your stuff to go and walk over the brunstfield links if you can make it last that long! View menu

Terrible experience today. I took my daughter to the restaurant and ordered a light meal as she was rush to the theatre for rehearsal. Well we agreed for at least 15 minutes waiting time for food, but seated over there and the waiter waitress totally ignored us, no any drinks has been served. Terrible, terrible service , and not suggested for people wanting light bites. Never go back again !!!

We visited today without knowing they stopped serving food at 4pm….we were there at 3.30, I placed our order the food came, was decidedly average and before we knew it the spray cleaner was out, the empty tables and chairs were being cleaned and turned upside down and I felt we were under pressure to finish up and move on. Also the desserts weren’t what the used to be and the milkshakes were decidedly bland, as my grandson said Five Guys was definitely better. Will not be back

"Was waking around looking for a place for brunch and stumbled across this beautiful little cafe like being in your own living room. The guy serving was extremely pleasant and kind, when I ordered the Scottish breakfast I asked for no black pudding and he kindly added in a square sausage. It was all delicious. Thank you for making Friday a little brighter."

"Outstanding. Deserving of every 5 start rating, an absolutely delicious place for a wrap, soup or salad. This saved my culinary day. The owner is a lovely resident of Edinburgh, Omar. The wrap was simple, humble and delicious. I really enjoyed the fusion of flavour with Sudanese and Mediterranean Flavor. The chili harrissa with preserved lemon was just outstanding. Wraps and Salads are always available as is the delicious Vegan Banana, Oak and Sultana cake. They have a more extensive menu that is available weekends. If you would like to try on a weekday, give the restaurant a call to see what they have available. Truly a gem in Bruntsfield. Thank you for my delicious wrap and your friendliness Omar, you are a wonderful addition to this neighborhood!"

"Tiny and intimate basement restaurant in Stockbridge with a warm welcome and genuine authentic Italian food which is an order of magnitude above even good Italian eateries. The young couple who own and run it (husband front-of-house, wife cooking) do a fantastic flavour-packed 5- or 7-course tasting menu, with the a la carte option on Thursday and Sunday. We shared a charcuterie platter to start (all sourced from a mountain village in the Marche, with crusty focaccia and peppery olive oil; followed by sweet (and v tender) octopus for my wife and and perfectly cooked, savoury wild mallard breast with pistachios and cavolo nero for me. Brilliantly done, deep deep flavours. As a pudding the goat cheese Seada with figs and honey was absolutely superb: a crispy deep-fried “raviolo” filled with salty goat cheese and balanced by the honey. To kill for. Not joking. Good selection of less-known Italian wines, including several from the Marche region. Not ridiculously expensive, cosy and great vfm. Lovely folk too; food made with love and hospitality."

"what a wonderful experience that has been removed from the water in leith is ostara an absolute joy. I was here for dinner and was thrilled with the whole experience that it was great to eat itself. I have to say, it's the first time I really appreciated the texture in a court, because everything was so well balanced. the menu is small, but I really believe that ostara is a perfect example for a place that is a small menu where everything is made perfect. everything on it is with such care and attention that they can be sure what they choose, it will be wonderful on eating the workers before the house wonderful. not even we felt hurried or harassed, nor felt neglected or ignored. the personal was friendly and attentive and made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable I am so glad that this restaurant has found and will return to try their breakfast and lunch menu if I can!"

"We recently had the pleasure of dining at The Kitchin in Edinburgh. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we felt ensconced in the atmosphere and genuine hospitality the restaurant provided. It was apparent that great care had been taken to create a place that was pleasing and comfortable as the interior décor was cozy and intimate. The Surprise Tasting Menu was diverse and the dishes were crafted with the utmost skill and creativity. Each of the seven courses that we indulged in was a true masterpiece (including the vegetarian versions) because the favors were exquisite and the presentation of each dish was a work of art. The staff was very knowledgeable in describing each dish and you can taste the thoughtfulness and care in every delicious bite. We were very pleased that we decided to also include the wine pairing because we enjoyed learning about each and they complimented each dishes perfectly. The only glitch was that the optional cheese course took a lot longer to be served than the previous courses and then the rest of the courses took longer than usual, as well as receiving our bill at the end, and the dinner service ended up taking 5 hours. Regardless, we had an exceptional meal that we thoroughly enjoyed and will never forget. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5"
