Polentoni

Reviewed By hotelraterScotland

Lunch with friends; great food and fantastic value. Obviously very popular with locals, who popped in for take- aways, as well as meals.Basic decor / seating: a great place for a nice lunch but not the place for a fancy meal.Seating rather uncomfortable for anybody with mobility / disabilty issues, but staff very friendly and accomodating.Excellent for veggies; not so good for meat eaters! Highly recommended. Lovely place.

We were expecting a good meal as our friends had been before but this was really special. From the exquisite amuse bouche, through beautifully fresh fish, tasty local meats and vegetables all blending together in such tasty and sometimes unusual combinations. The drinks were lovely too, particularly the wine recommended by the very knowledgeable staff. And the staff should get a mention, well informed, discreet with personality, a great mix.

Delicious food, lovely welcoming atmosphere. Special thanks to Ben and the team for helping me to eat and finally enjoy mushrooms! This restaurant is a must for anyone making a trip to Edinburgh. Dear Meggles1Happy you took a shot in the dark in trusting us to help you like mushrooms, that's great news! If we can do this that's enough for making our day. Ben is indeed a brilliant team player and has lots of charm. We hope to see you again soon for lunch or dinner.

We had a wonderful evening at Borough. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff are lovely and helped us with various dietary requirements, which we greatly appreciated. They also have an enormous selection of amazing wines to choose from. The whole experience was fantastic and I can’t wait to go back. It’s become my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh!

Pleased to be sharing a more favourable review of here. My previous 2 visits have been disappointing due to extremely poor service however...on this latest visit, the staff redeemed themselves. The receptionist greeted us warmly on arrival and escorted us to the Bistro then a young waitress said we may have to wait around 10 mins before our order could be taken as she didnt know where the waitress staff were?!?! Eh? Anyway, a charming young lady soon appeared, cleaned our table, gave us menus and promptly returned with water for us. We gave her our order and didn't have to wait too long at all! (don't know what the younger lassie was talking about earlier, I recognised her from a previous visit where she made a mistake- she seems highly nervous) I had a bbq pulled pork toastie with trimmings which was nice and my partner had filo parcels filled with haggis which were amazing- I'm getting them next time ! When paying our bill, we asked if we could order coffee and have it upstairs in either the library or music room area, so we settled ourselves in a lovely spacious room overlooking the driveway and enjoyed our coffee which was served to us within a few minutes. Finishing our visit with a walk in the garden, I felt as if I had really enjoyed our visit here and hope to visit again.

Coffee lounge

Reviewed By Robert P

My wife and I took a 26 bus from Edinburgh to Tranent, where her paternal grandmother used to live. Not knowing what to expect in the way of lunch, we found this cafe and decided to have scones and coffee. However, I was tempted by some of the Mediterranean influenced items on the menu and settled for moussaka. So glad I did, as it was obviously home-made and gave a generous portion of mince and avocado, topped with cheese - delicious. My wife enjoyed her scones, and the coffees were very good. Service was friendly and reasonably quick, given the place was packed with local people - always a good sign. Highly recommended.

Mercat Bar and Grill

Reviewed By grannyhanlan

Called in with my daughter for lunch and we had a great time. Food was fantastic and staff were great and chatted as they worked. Both staff serving weren't kids and they would have put the kids to shame, they were busy but we're lovely with little diners and they just worked together beautifully. The food was great and freshly cooked. We both had pasta which was divine and hot and bubbly which is my perfect meal. Definitely worth a visit. We loved it. X
