Great menu, we had some incredibly fresh and delicious oysters. And the puddings were fantastic. Also an extensive drinks menu. Service was attentive and efficient, but our server did seem a little grumpy.

This was our third day in Edinburgh, and we chose Scran & Scallie for a couples’ night out. They absolutely set the bar. It was worth the wait from start to finish—the food and service were nothing short of amazing.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Our server (whose name I regret not catching) was fantastic—attentive, kind, and clearly passionate about making the evening special. Side note: have a great time in NY next year. Thank you again!

I tried their haggis—my second time—and I think it may have just become my new favorite dish. My main course was cod, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My partner started with the soup and followed with fish and chips—classic, comforting, and beautifully done.

We finished with sticky toffee pudding, the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal.

Scran & Scallie did not disappoint. Thank you to the entire team for making our night in Edinburgh so memorable.

My husband and I spent several days in Edinburgh and wanted to try genuine Scottish food, and The Scran & Scallie came highly recommended on the Michelin Guide. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience.

The service was wonderful—staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal, which really elevated the experience. The food itself was good, though we did feel, as some other reviews have mentioned, that it was a bit pricey for what you get.

That said, there were some standout dishes. The meat pie was excellent and truly memorable. It was served with the bone placed vertically inside, and when you pulled it out, all the soft, juicy marrow dropped straight into the pie, making it incredibly rich, savory, and comforting.

We also tried the sticky toffee pudding, which was our first time having this beloved UK dessert—and it completely set the bar. It was easily one of the best sticky toffee puddings we had on our entire trip and made every other version hard to live up to.

Overall, a great spot for trying classic Scottish fare in a cozy setting, with excellent service and a few standout dishes that really shine.

I was in Edinburgh last Saturday evening for dinner with a friend. We booked quite far in advance as I was over from Canada.
We were seated next to 2 very young children that were screaming initially and I have to say, I was quite concerned about how the night would go.
Starters arrived of scallops and haggis and both were very well received, I had high hopes for the meal.
We both ordered fish, fish and chips as well as the haddock rarebit. Haddock did not come with the sides mentioned on the menu, instead of leeks, it was mushrooms and instead of fondant potatoes, it was boiled baby potatoes.
Fish from fish and chips was in an extremely thick batter and the batter wasn’t fully cooked. I sent it back and now I’m not in the mood for a new main.
We both ordered dessert as we were both still hungry.
I took a taste of the chocolate torte and it tasted odd. I tasted again thinking my taste buds were off and then had my friend taste it. We were both convinced it was sitting near some very strong smelling items in the fridge as to me it initially tasted like they cut it with a dirty knife. Once we got home, we took out the piece we brought home and it smelled of very strong cheese and the deep fryer.
I would not recommend this place for the food but the service was great.
Everything was very overpriced. I don’t think you should leave anywhere hungry after spending 120 quid.

I got help from a host with blonde hair and glasses (didn’t catch her name i’m extremely grateful) on 07/10/25 around 4:50pm who helped me get seated early even though my reservation was at 5:30pm. I just helped by John who told me all the specials and helped me with a wine recommendation. Ended up getting the haggis which were amazing. The steak with was also amazing + added in broccoli also amazing. Desert was sticky toffee pudding which was a great way to end the meal. Extremely satisfied with this restaurant and the staff!

One of the best restaurants to eat at in Edinburgh. The haggis was exceptional and fish and chips was excellent. Light batter so you can actually taste the fish. The atmosphere and staff was top shelf quality.

It is nice, but it is expensive.

We came here with some friends for a nice meal out. I will say that some of the food was really quite tasty, but for what amounted to burger and chips and a pie (fancy pie, granted, but we’ll get into that…) £63 a head was just way more than I felt it was worth.

Homemade lemonade / ginger beer, 8/10, very tasty, refreshing with hints of herbs that gave it some beautiful aftertaste. Very nice.

Scallops, 8/10, delicious, perfectly tender.

Pork scratchings, 6/10, was sort of expecting proper scratchings here, nice juicy layer of fat, crunchy outer layer. Instead we got the pork equivalent of a prawn cracker that could just as easily been bought from a supermarket. If they do indeed make these in-house there was really not a lot to show for it.

Burger and chips, 6/10, twas a burger and that’s about all I remember. Clearly not a winner.

Beef shin and marrow pie, 8/10 for the filling, 5/10 for the pie crust. The slow cooked meat was tender, the richness of the marrow was unctious – if this had been presented as beef stew I would be dinging it’s praises. But I feel a ways about pies with no bottom. I was looking forward to the balance between the saucy interior and a doughy flaky buttery crust. Instead no bottom (no bottom!) and the lid on top was this odd wafer thing that jist didn’t do it for me.

Side of broccoli, 7/10, nice enough, but I remember it being slightly overcooked.

Peach frangipane, 6/10. Quite mediocre flavours all around for this one. The peach was sort stewed, no caramelisation. The frangipane itself was fairly basic and nothing stood put. Quite disappointing.

In summary, elements of this meal were fantastic but the parts that let it down really did let it down and at this price point that’s just not acceptable.

Excellent!

Food was excellent….
We both had the Heirloom Beetroot, crowdie cheese, apple and walnut salad. Sounds like such a simple dish, but the flavours really were amazing.
Mains were the Hot Smoked Salmon Salad & the Poached Haddock Rarebit.
Both outstanding.
Unfortunately neither of us could manage a pud! I was devastated!!!

Service was excellent….
From the moment we arrived, all staff were really friendly and on the ball. Our waiter even offered to call us a cab. Nice touch.

Somewhere we’d not hesitate to return to and would highly recommend to others.

Top marks!
