Footlights Bar and Grill — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

After a busy first day in the office, we were all invited out for a meal in the evening, which of course we accepted. This was the selected destination, and it is located very well. Although the outdoor seating area wasn't the best as we were cramped onto the side of the pavement, you do get excellent views of Edinburgh castle so the trade-off is probably worth it!

My eyes were immediately drawn to the mac n cheese burger, which not only comes with a patty but is slathered in macaroni cheese. What a fantastic idea! When it arrived I was not disappointed - in fact I marvelled at the amount of macaroni cheese was actually on the burger, as it was spilling down the sides. Unfortunately this meant I had to use a knife and fork to safely eat my burger and not humiliate myself in front of colleagues, not that I generally have any problem with that. It tasted delicious. A special note must go to the chips on the side which were chunky but also soft and...

The first night the kitchen was closed due to an issue but MY GOD it was worth the wait coming back the next two nights my parents and I LOVED!!! IT, Mark was amazing, excellent service and extremely friendly and made the whole experience there feel homely. When my dad hurt his foot earlier that day the barman on the 3rd night was very accommodating to my dad waiting on him hand and foot and making sure he was OK. I'm hoping to come back to Edinburgh and when I do I know exactly where I'm going for my food and drinks and the prices are amazing compared to other places we got all our food and drinks for half the price of 1 meal somewhere else and I had the mac'n' cheese both nights as ive never tasted one as nice as that and I love my Italian meals...

Ps thank you mark and the rest of the staff who served us. We never felt more welcome...

After a long travel day, we picked this pub because it is walking distance from our hotel. They're is a great view of the castle from the street. We went at about 8pm and there was plenty of open seating. We were told by staff to grab a menu on the way in, seat ourselves, then order at the bar when ready. The food was served quickly. The fish and chips portion was large and the fish and batter and tartar sauce were perfect. The soup of the day was pureed mushroom with a side of toast, and it was delicious. We were very pleased with the convenient location, friendly service...
