We choose the restaurant by the menu. A women was looking also at the menu and said“ what a pity I would like to eat the deer again, it was so good!“ we went in and luck was on our site(Friday evening), we got a table and we choose the red deer. It was a dream, the best deer I had in a long time. I practical licked the plate. The service was so nice and friendly. If I‘m coming back to Edinburgh, I will visit again. Thanks again for this amazing evening.

One of the best Scottish restaurants in Edinburgh! We couldn’t asked for an amazing dinner with friends. We wanted to thanks Mae because of her professionalism and her amazing customer skills from the first time we sat down. She is definitely an amazing asset for this restaurant!!

Marius was absolutely brilliant! His service was so attentive and thoughtful — he kept checking in to make sure we were having a lovely time and even changed our plates regularly without us asking. He really made the whole dining experience feel special. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

Located in Old Town on the Royal Mile, Cannonball Restaurant and Bar is one of my favourite restaurants in all of Edinburgh. This historical landmark was originally built in the 17th century and has unique views of the castle with an old meets new interior. The restaurant is clean and offers a relaxed atmosphere which offers comfort food meets fine dining experience, and plenty of seating options on three different levels – bar, restaurant and private dining area.
We happened to stop in after a visit to Edinburgh Castle and I am so glad we did – this place is a gem! We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. The customer service was 5-star with friendly and attentive staff. The price was very reasonable for what we got: the portion sizes good, the presentation amazing, and the food was fresh and prepared to perfection. They offer a comprehensive menu with different dining options and were able to accommodate a reduced salt diet. Everything on the menu that we had was incredible delicious including: fresh homemade bread and whipped butter, creamy potato soup, smoked trout with creme fraiche, battered haddock with hand cut fries, pan seared cod with spinach and Beurre Blanc, Chocolate Cannonball and crème brulée. They also had an extensive bar and selection of wines to choose from.
Two unique features of this restaurant are the cannonball lodged in the wall, the namesake of the restaurant, and an old school desk and ode to its history as a schoolhouse and the resident ghost they call “Alice”. It is also wheelchair accessible with entrance from the courtyard, a lift that accesses all levels including the bathrooms, and plenty of seating options that can easily accommodate a wheelchair. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the food, service and experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return to it time and again!

I was treated here for my birthday and it was amazing. Got to sit at the window with views to the castle light show. Staff were wonderful, attentive and accommodating particularly Craig who couldn’t be friendlier or more helpful. An awesome restaurant experience all round.

A group of four of us had lite bites and cocktails here before attending The Military Tattoo, as part of The Drummer tickets. The staff were superb, very welcoming and friendly. The food and cocktails were great. A very relaxing start to the evening, as they even escorted us into the Castle grounds for the performance.

Simply 5/5 all round. The food was delicious! We enjoyed the haggis and the haddock to start and both had the pork for mains.
We were looked after incredibly well, especially by Esteban. Fantastic wine pairing suggestion and warm and attentive service without over tending.
The atmosphere was lovely, even during the day.

Restaurant is located in a picturesque corner of the Edinburgh Castle entrance. We had one of the best seats in the house with a beautiful view of the castle in the evening. Three different menu options in terms of portions and settings, all of our dinner choices were excellent, and nicely prepared, and nicely presented. The restaurant was not terribly crowded in January, but the staff is very pleasant and it was an enjoyable experience. Being so close to a major tourist attraction one would’ve expected a hurried in and hurried out atmosphere, this was just the opposite. Lovely fine dining experience.
