    The food and atmosphere is awesome. We had drinks before dinner. I had the Sunday roast and my husband had the fish and chips.

    Excellent meal at the Queens Arms. We wanted to do a traditional Sunday Roast while in Edinburgh. We had the shared roast dinner. Wonderful amount of food. Beef was tender and flavourful. Vegetables perfectly cooked and the Yorkshire pudding were fantastic—-crispy and fluffy. A memorable meal with excellent service.

    Food tasted good but some of the slices of roast could have been more tender. York pudding was burned

    Hi Judy, thanks for your honest review - I’m disappointed to hear our roast wasn’t up to our usual standard. Next time please don’t hesitate to let us know so we can make this right for you! Have a wonderful day

    Ce pub est absolument incroyable, très bonne ambiance, le service est impeccable et rapide, les serveurs sont souriants et ont toujours un oeil sur vous, dès que vous demandez quelque chose vous l'obtenez en moins d'une minute c'est juste parfait, l'ambiance y est très bonne et on mange très bien pour un prix raisonnable. Vous pouvez en plus réserver une table en ligne ce qui est pratique, je recommande vraiment cet endroit si vous êtes de passage à Edimbourg

    This was our third visit to The Queen’s Arms. The food is nice but a tad greasy. Also, the burger was served on a saucer barely larger than the burger itself, not very convenient. Despite these small points, we are always happy to return because of the great ambiance and staff.

    second time in the city and second time to this delightful pub. the staff especially Abby (leading the troops) run a fantastic restaurant/bar. it's sometimes often disappointing returning to a place for the second time as it it is often not as good. On this occasion this is certainly untrue, the whole visit was as good as the first time I visited. food especially the Sunday roast is a must. On our third visit to the city ( as I am sure there will be another visit) we will certainly visit this establishment once more for great service, great food and great atmosphere but make sure you book as you certainly do not want to be disappointed when it is busy (as it rightly is most of the time)

    Hi Andrew, wow thank you so much for your kind review! It was an absolute pleasure welcoming you back - myself and the rest of the team thoroughly enjoyed looking after you and we can wait for your next visit. Take care, Abi
