Angels with Bagpipes

If you are looking for something a little more upscale than the pub fare that is so prevalent in Edinburgh then look no further. Sure it's a little pricier than other places on The Mile but it's worth it. We enjoyed every aspect of our experience. The lamb was particularly well done and presented as was the chicken. They offer a vegetarian option and one for each meat and a fish.

Lovely venue, great location, nice ambiance, wonderful staff… attentive and friendly. Haggis, neeps & tatties was ordered by three guests - food was not warm by any means, one guest asked for theirs to be replaced - this request was accepted without question and a new order was issued, food was not reheated. Overall lovely experience and would go back / recommend.

Popped in for lunch, plenty staff to help with seating. Wheelchair accessible with a disability toilet. Staff very helpful and catered for any dietary needs. We had the chicken breast and haggis and neeps with whiskey sauce. Both were delicious and although the plates looked like small portions they were both very filling. For 2 mains off lunch menu and 2 cokes was £32, a bit expensive but it filled us for the day. Definitely recommend a visit.

Our dinner at Angels with Bagpipes was a true celebration of taste, nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we sipped the Bobbie Sour, a whiskey-based delight that set the stage for a memorable meal, we knew we were in for a sensory feast. The appetizers were a promising start; the aromatic sourdough with olive oil was exceptional, while the heirloom tomato and burrata beautifully orchestrated a masterful play of textures and flavors. As we moved on to the mains, each dish continued the celebration of taste. The rare-cooked lamb loin, accompanied by haggis and chicory, melted effortlessly on the palate. The twelve-hour braised beef and medium-rare fillet steak stood as culinary masterpieces, each bursting with intricate flavors that demonstrated the kitchen’s expertise. The meal reached its pinnacle with dessert—the crowning touch of mascarpone mousse that was both elegant and indulgent. Our server Meghan, though new, was exceptionally attentive and amiable, making the experience even more delightful. We owe our discovery of this local gem to a friend’s recommendation, and it’s abundantly clear why Angels with Bagpipes is so cherished by Edinburgh locals.

Heard really great things about this restaurant so headed up here for our anniversary. (Its a long drive from West Sussex). We weren't disappointed. Food was amazing, staff were fantastic. I messaged ahead to let them know it was our anniversary and we were offered a private table over looking the hustle of the Royal Mile, we elected for the main room... mainly because my Chat is a bit lacking these days! So glad we went.
