Howies reviews

The food here was good, we had their set dinner for 2 courses for 20 pounds, although we had to add an additional 2 and 7 pounds, for the catch of the day and lamb rump, respectively. Food were seasoned well – meat or fish were not …

Everyone I have taken here has had an amazing experience. The restaurant provides high quality food, that is also very tasty. Vegan options are available. The deserts are especially tasty, so highly recommend you try them out. They have …

This is a wonderful restaurant in Scotland. Perfect for couple or family. The environment of the restaurant is fantastic and romantic. Must order food – Venison Haunch is the best things I ever tried in Scotland 🥰 we are from Malaysia and I came with my 3siblings. All of them satisfied with the food✌️ …

Our visit was to mark a very special occasion and we could not have picked a better venue to do that. The table was ready when we arrived. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely. The music wasn’t too loud and there was a constant hum …

Booked a table online in advance everything went smooth. However when we got to the restaurant it took forever for someone to seat us, I understand it was the festive season and they were super busy. The cocktail I had was yummy, the Cullen …

A highly recommended Scottish restaurant. Each of us has ordered a 3 courses meal. The pan roasted salmon is a must order item, the skin is crispy and the meat is very tender! The sticky toffee pudding is also outstanding. More

We had more people than we had booked for in our party and were very quickly accommodated. Beautiful food. Not the hottest, but we were a large group. Very busy and, therefore, noisy, had to shout to be heard across the table. Perfect fast …

One of the places with best quality-price ratio that I had the chance to visit in Edinburgh. I went for the 3 course menu and ate the haggis, the salmon and the banoffee, for a total of 19.95£. I liked the starter and the main course the …

Over hyped. Food was better than other restaurants nearby but that doesn’t really warrant the long line. Good luck finding a spot if you’re a walk in this place is usually booked out. I don’t really see the hype food was really good but, …

Amazing food. We had the haggis for the first time ever. It was so delicious! We are definitely fans. The sticky toffee pudding was delightful 😊 …

Wonderful place for scottish and fresh dishes. We ordered the 3 course lunch meal and shared some foccacia bread. Starter was the classic Haggis and it was savory and delicious. We both had the pan seared salmon for main course and were not disappointed! More

Great location! Very tasty food! Friendly staff.
I am not a vegetarian but tried vegetarian haggis and it was very flavorful.
Catch of the day was fresh, the sauce was tasty and so the potatoes.
I wish I had read the reviews before visiting and tried one of the desserts. More

I brought my family there to try Scottish restaurant. The haggis there is quite delicious, the catch of the day ( Hake fish) is very impressive, but the star is the mussels which my mom ordered. The soup is herbal and little spicy which I …

Fab restaurant, we had a 2 course lunch for £16.95 and the food was brilliant! The restaurant was extremely busy, with no spare tables so booking is a must. Orders came out quickly and the food was extremely good! More

A must if you’re in Edinburgh. We got the 3 course set. I think the catch of the day was a couple pounds extra. Everything was delicious!! And the staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is decorated so nicely. My favorite was the …

You have to try the haggis and Cullen Skink! Stay away from the Señora Rosa Merlot. …

A must come restaurant when u are in Edinburgh! Delicious Scottish food, big portions and at lunch they have an offer for two plates or 3 plates! The haggis are delicious so the salmon and the fish! Also the banoffi pie was terrific.

Had an amazing dinner, delicious starters and a stunning main course. The staff couldn’t be more helpful either, even calling a taxi for us when we asked for a local cab number. Only shame is that we were only in Edinburgh on a trip otherwise we would be booking another table there soon! More

Located very close to Calton Hill, this place is relatively crowded when we visited. The food tasted amazing with such a beautiful interior to give extra warmth to customers. …

Decent fresh food and good customer service. Main menu is a bit limited and the 2 hr window is short if you want to enjoy 3 courses and drinks as well socialising.I’m not too sure if they live up to the many 5 stars ratings.

One of our favorite places we ate in Edinburgh. The staff was very friendly and had great recommendations. The food was incredible and they also had a nice wine list! Atmosphere was okay but the decor could use some updating. The food is so good though that didn’t really change our overall experience. More

Love the sauce that goes with salmon. Great price for amazing dishes and service. Lovely interior as well. Would definitely recommend to families and friends. Thank you for the experience. More

Food was just fine and not impressive, though a 3 courses lunch costed only around £21 which was quite a good price for its location. …

Delicious food and kind service in a warm historic atmosphere. Every dish was lovely. If there was anywhere they could inprove it might be some additional wine options. More

”Fine dining for affordable Prices“ we had a 2 and 3 course lunch that was just around 20£ each. The food is very delicious and well made. Besides that, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and we felt very welcome. Our hostess Lisa was …

Lovely first experience of Scottish cuisine in a fantastic setting. Staff were really attentive and the food was very good & reasonably priced, would recommend for first timers or those looking for a proper bite to eat More

The best salmon I’ve possibly ever had. That’s saying a lot as 1. I live in Seattle, arguably one of the salmon capitals of the US 2. Have traveled all over the world & salmon is one of my favorites …

Finally came here with my parents! Love the food, the environment (bright, clean, and warm), and the service. We had cullen skink and pigeon breast for starters, and chicken, haddock, and casserole as mains, finished with a banoffee as dessert. Will come again next time! More

A good location, situated on the foot of Calton Hill. The service was not very hospitable, but the floor manager who took care of the payment in the end was friendly. Pretty decent price. …

We had a family dinner here after getting married at the registrars and the food and atmosphere were fantastic. …
