The World's End

Great experience. I had the steak and ale pie with mash. Dad had fish and chips. Both delicious and the drinks were massive and great. Loved this historical site with it’s side of lunch. As for reservations, we stumbled into the restaurant around 230 and had no problem getting in. We saw it later that same night and it was PACKED. Like line out the door.

Service here was lovely. While I was up in Scotland I wanted to try my first Whiskey. The guy on the bar was only too happy to walk me through all the differences in notes and allow me to smell all the corks. Settled on one from Edinburgh as it felt right being in the place. There are places to sit inside and out and they also seem to have a very good smelling menu. Can't complain one bit.

Know before you go: YOU NEED RESERVATIONS. With that being said, LOVED this place. Started out with a recommended Thistly Cross Traditional cider. Yum!! Light and crisp! Ordered Steak and Ale pie as well as Haggis Pie. Food was out in about 3 minutes and was piping hot! Flavorful and perfect portions. DEFINITELY recommend!

Reservations are a must, as we saw several people who had wandered in turned away. The fish and chips were very very good, and so was the steak and ale pie. My partner LOVED the sticky toffee pudding. I had the apple pie and it was not overly sweet and came out piping hot. The ambiance is cozy, with the lights dimmed in the small restaurant. It was a good meal in Edinburgh that wasn't overly expensive. We would definitely eat here again next time we visit the city.

Visited on a Sunday evening after the castle tour. Was fully crowded, but we got lucky and snagged a table as someone was leaving. -2 Pints of Beer -Steak & Ale Pie with mashed potatoes & cabbage -Side of Mac & Cheese -Sticky Toffee Pudding with Custard Everything was delicious, and the Sticky Toffee Pudding stole the show! So delicious! Service was adequate, and prices were decent (though the pints were each £7 which was higher than we'd seen in Scotland).
