Blackwoods Restaurant is a stylish restaurant located within a Georgian Towhouse in Edinburgh's New Town. Although only 10 minutes walk from the City Centre it doesn't feel that way due to the peaceful surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the city

We specialise in authentic, Scottish, natural, elegant, chargrilled dining using our Josper grill at its heart - The Josper oven burns charcoal at high temperatures to retain food’s natural moisture and flavour.

    They were very good at accommodating our various food allergies. Food was fresh and the oatmeal was outstanding!

    No atmosphere and seems very much like a middle of the road hotel restaurant.

    Food was very good and at a very good price. Service was very attentive and quick. Everything came hot, fresh and delicious. Is worth the walk out of the main busy area to try. Only thing i would change is the range of wine avaliable by the glass was basic - would have liked a malbec/rioja/pinot noir option like most pubs do now. Merlot was nice but not my personal preference.

    This was a disappointing experience. The room decor and ambience was perfect for a quiet dining experience but the food quality was not what we expected, considering the menu prices. Starters were enjoyable but the portion sizes were inadequate. My rib eye streak was small and was cooked to medium/well done when I asked for medium/ rare. It came with chips and side salad which consisted of two cherry tomatoes and few bits of rocket. My wife's lamb was well cooked and tasty but came with small quantity of cold mashed potato and one blackberry - no veg. This venue has the potential to be a good small restaurant but the menu and food quality needs to improve. To be fair we were compensated for our disappointment but would have preferred to pay in full for a better meals.

    Blackwood's was disappointing. We went as an extended family to celebrate my mother's 85th birthday. The restaurant looked lovely and was calm and quiet when we arrived at 6pm. We had looked at the menu on line but were immediately told two of the options were not available. This further reduced the gf options for one of our party. Two asked for a starter served as a main portion but quantities didn't seem to be adjusted greatly. My mother chose slow cooked lamb but it was served raw. I was served a millefeuille which was little more than dry pastry. Accompanying veg and sauces for dishes seemed to bear little resemblance to that quoted in the menu. One waiter worked very hard and was as attentive as he could be with a full restaurant, while another member of staff sat in the bar area on his phone most of the evening only giving a half hearted attempt to clear half the table before heading back to his phone. I rarely comment on line but on the basis that the restaurant was full with visitors from abroad, I feel sad that this is the impression given of our country's hospitality. Come on Blackwood's - you can do better!
