"I and three ex-workers went to the city restaurant for our 3 monthly meet and as all previous meet we were not disappointed about eating, service or price. we had all three courses, none of us ordered the same, we had softdrinks, latte and tee and the bill came only £75. the standard of food and the care it presents on the teller is the first class! at least twice in the week to lunch and I am always happy with my lunch. a nice note is as soon as they go into the door, they are welcomed by all employees and when they leave, they all thank them!"

Best fish and chips that I’ve had thus far during my Edinburgh visit. Excellent experience and lovely service. Really clean. Can’t ask for more

if they have a real taste of Scottish “kitchen”, they do not see further than city restaurant. it is not too far from the royal mile and its location means that it is a firm favorite during the festival season. it's fast, dirty, and I love it!

Very delicious breakfast with plenty of options to choose from including vegan. Food was prepared in about 5 minutes. Polite staff, clean and relaxing environment. Haven't tried lunch or dinner yet, but definitely would come back again in the future. View menu

Great fish and chips restaurant. Nice, modern interior, not super cozy but the fish was awesome! Chips also really crisp, which we really liked. Good portion and definitely worth the money! Best fish and chips we had so far in Scotland, give it a try!

Great solid breakfast, nice atmosphere, great service. They also let you switch items on the menu if you don’t like an item. I would highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Edinburgh or a local. See footage of this restaurant on my YouTube channel Brooklyn Londoner.

the restaurant had a trendy atmosphere with retrospect. great friendly staff. we had ordered for breaded battered haddock. eating came with a beautiful filet of haddock, generous part of chips and muddy heaps. the fish was fresh and well prepared. we were also glad that the restaurant was open until late.

classic 60’s style. to enter this cafe chippie is like coming back in time. however, all fittings and decoration are clean and fresh. it is all done beautifully and with the freendly helpful staff it is no wonder that it is so busy. my spicy haggis, chips and peasants were excellent and the Scottish tablet milkshake was a leak.

Extremely popular and very busy restaurant. Best to book in advance. Had a 20 minute wait for a free table. Staff kept us updated on table availability. Food cooked fresh. Ample portion size and was delicious. Service was very good. This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. Will be back next time we are in Edinburgh.

"new kapitel has caught my attention after I was on top ten on trip advisor only months after the opening in the oktober last year. that and the fact that it is open for my early january birthday, made it the perfect place to celebrate to become a little older. I was with the man and his family. the man is quite used to my taste and good to the kind of kitchen that would appeal to me for a special occasion; his family not so much and I was filled with shame as his mother scornful went through the menu trying to find something she would enjoy. I've eaten with the family of the man, and I know they enjoy eating, so I think it's a failure of the menu that it is not accessible. the benming always blooming and garnish can appeal to some, but for others it is overcomplicated and it is necessary to find a balance between the two. we start with the starters and I go for venison sour wort pithvier. the venison was underheated and incredibly dry, to the happiness the sourded a little moisturizing and so saved the whole dish, but the aromen were quite not clear, except the garnitur of plastered mushrooms I thoroughly enjoyed. for the largest part we chose a fish dish for our main,- sea trout, smoked muddles, petersilien and coast herbs. where the starter fell, the main recording is getting back. the dish is rich and creamy, and each element adds the complexity of the taste as a whole, without disturbing. the concept is now an old one, and it would be deceptive if it had not worked, as it would essentially pay with this place. I enjoyed my meal in new chapter, although I do not agree with it is stellar status under the hierarchy of edinburgh eateries. it is top ten position is just a flash in the pan of hot popularity, and in time it will be plated in the upper half of the middle stage where it belongs. and that is where it belongs, the dishes can be plated with a michelin star in understood, and the venue and the supporting media has the clean lines and empty slate look of fine but eat the team has a long gone to go if that is their real aim. at the end, although it was a beautiful meal, and cheap (at the moment I would not be surprised to see their prices slowly rise) and the man’s mother found something they enjoyed and that is the most important."
