Perfect ending to a wonderful day exploring Edinburgh. Whiskey sampler went right to my head but it was fun getting there! Great food and a friendly staff. The whole experience at the Devil’s Advocate was incredible. We also loved our table location, upstairs where it was warm and cozy. Don’t miss this place if you’re visiting Edinburgh! I can’t wait to get back there one day.

Great find for an early dinner in the Old Town. Great atmosphere and friendly, attentive and efficient but unobtrusive staff. Had a minor problem with my meal but the team addressed it very, very quickly and in the most effective way to ensure no loss of enjoyment to our visit. We'll done! Food was tasty and good value. Definitely added to my list of restaurants/bars worth revisiting on my next Edinburgh trip.

Enjoyed our stop for a drink here. My husband, who is the whiskey drinker, loved all the choices. It’s really nice inside but there is very little bar seating. I recommend a reservation if you want food and be willing to stand if you just want a drink. It’s still worth considering this option for an upscale option

Absolutely amazing food, welcoming and friendly staff. Really lovely atmosphere. Would love to go back, really made it a birthday meal to remember. Thank you! ***EDIT - We went back and it was as amazing, if not better, than before, thanks to all!

We just had cocktails. Not food. The standard is really high with really well presented drinks. The staff were courteous and professional. Overall the place had a lively atmosphere even though it was in the afternoon. I would go back there, no hesitation. Well done!
