The Piper's Rest

Really lovely atmosphere and delicious scottish food located close to edinburgh castle. the staff were really friendly, easy to talk to, and service was quick too.

Aug 2022 stopped here for a meal before going to the castle, fantastic food and loads of it, had some live music at the front which was really good and as our scottish friends were singing along, was obviously typically scottish and we loved it. the food was excellent, with a good variety on the menu, good portion size as well, none of us are small and there was enough! staff very helpful and polite. would definitely visit again. feb 2023 yes we came back again, just myself and my husband this time, my advice is to book as it does get very busy in there, we went on a tuesday evening, there was live music starting at around 9pm. the menu had lots of variety we had haggis, neeps and tatties and the fish supper, both were absolutely delicious cooked perfectly. for desert we had highland mess and deep fried mars bar as my husband has always wanted to try this. again delicious can't fault this place, good food, very helpful staff and good live music. if you are in the area try it out.

Great breakfast! it was a sunday morning before we were leaving edinburgh. nice music. i got the veggie breakfast (fried eggs, veggie haggis, veggie sausage, grilled tomato, grilled portobello mushroom, toast/fry bread). our server, rob, was very friendly and the food was delicious! we even got some local history and chatted about stuff relative to where we live. really cute spot, tasty, reasonably priced food and lovely atmosphere!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Great authentic scottish place. staff was very nice and friendly, food was really good, plenty of traditional pub food options. would recommend the haggis tower or the pipers feast which is a sampler of many appetizers. would come back, in fact, we are here twice in our stay.

The service here is amazing, never had this good of customer service during my time in europe. the waiters were constantly checking on us and topping up our water for free. i had the steak pie and the lemon salmon, both were great! though the vegetables were burnt for the steak pie's side. toilets available here downstairs.
