"With this Old Town restaurant, Paul and Lisa Wedgwood aimed to create their “Perfect Night Out.” Here, guests can enjoy fine dining without the pretention, lingering at tables as long as they wish. The menu is inspired by Paul’s regular travels around the world, with favorite dishes ranging from panko-and-black-sesame-crusted mullet to diver-caught scallops wrapped in caul fat. Many plates feature wild herbs and lettuces foraged by Paul himself, and there’s a regularly changing wine list with bottles tailored to the seasons."

Wow! We did the 8 course wee tour of Scotland and it was hands down the best food we’ve ever had. Several things on the menu I would have never ordered otherwise, so I’m delighted to have tried so many new foods cooked to perfection. In addition to the amazing food, our servers were incredibly attentive, very friendly, and would chat about the different foods we were tasting. Amazing experience and restaurant. We will make it a point to return anytime we’re in Edinburgh.

I went here the night I got engaged and can hands down say it was the best meal I have ever had. From the get go, the service was great. Drinks came quick, the Pork Belly appetizer we got was unbelievable. My fiancé got the sea trout while I got the chicken for mains. Each dish was literally unreal - the balance between the main meat & all the supplementary vegetables/sauces/purees, mashes, etc., were truly remarkable. They provided a shot glass each full of some type of broth “on the house” to boost the experience as well while waiting for the mains. This type of little detail goes a long way to making the dining experience unique & special. Another thing to note - the portion sizes are nailed down perfectly. They were large enough that you didn’t feel ripped off, while not being too big that leave you feeling TOO full & sick afterwards - well done. I believe to finish the meal we got the chocolate mousse cake - it was great as well. And with the bill, again, they provided some type of treat “on the house” that was also unreal and bite sized. For the quality, size of meals, diverse flavours, and the fact that they accommodated my gluten free allergies very well (could get almost everything on the menu), the price was exceptional. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. Thanks for making the night I got engaged truly memorable!

Blown away by the service. My wife indicated that our daughters had food allergies when we booked and they created a a modified menu of all the things safe for them to eat. Friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the food, sourcing, and wine and whiskey. We would come back here often if we lived in Edinburgh. Food was amazing - I enjoyed the chef’s tasting menu thoroughly. Not a miss on the entire list. What an experience. The owner Lisa could not have been more accommodating and welcoming.

A smallish fine dining restaurant by the Cannongate and Royal Mile. Very atmospheric place, look around the ceiling and you see nice little details in decor. Food is local and seasonal, modern cooking with some Scandinavian twist. Not the cheapest place around but great choice for a special occasion.

Thanks to a fellow New Zealander who is a regular at Wedgwood, he introduced me to this fine establishment on Saturday! It was hands down one of the best meals I’ve had during my holiday. The service, food, and wine were amazing, and I was so impressed that I came back on Monday for more of the same great experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and looked after us without being over the top. The food was incredible – every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. If you're a wine lover, I highly recommend the Altanza Club Rioja 2016 Wedgwood red wine. Don’t bother with just a glass – get the bottle! It’s the perfect choice to pair with the meal. I highly recommend Wedgwood The Restaurant to anyone visiting or living in Edinburgh. If you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and delicious wine, this is the place to go. I can’t wait for my next trip from New Zealand to Edinburgh so I can come back!

Lunch menu was wonderful and incredibly tasty, and more economical compared to the more upscale dinner menu. Had two courses for £27 total, all portioned well and very flavourful. Definitely reccomend the bass if it is on the menu while visiting- the cooks did a great job with the skin, wonderfully crisp and just salty enough. Staff were very friendly and kind to a solo diner- reccomend if you are also in a similar situation.

I’m still dreaming of my dinner at Wedgwood and was rather tempted to return for another meal in the same trip—and regret that I didn’t return to try other items on the menu that were mostly Scottish derived ingredients. Even though I hadn’t made a booking, the service staff were still very welcoming and warm. Recommendations were spot on. The scallops were a must-order. Fresh, perfectly cooked and generous in portion (I went somewhere else nearby that was stingy). The coley fish and textured risotto wasn’t too heavy, but still delicious and the paired well. I’ll definitely return if I’m back in Edinburgh.

We attended Paul’s foraging course which culminated in an amazing tasting menu in the restaurant. We had high expectations and the experience exceeded all of them, it is a must do for anyone interested in learning more about foraging and it’s tailored to people of all experience levels. Get ready to try some amazing flavours and enjoy a really memorable day, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. I would also note that as a vegetarian the options I had did not make it feel like I was getting a lesser version of the tasting menu, instead it was thoughtfully considered and absolutely delicious - we will be back!!

Food was excellent and well seasoned. We did the tasting menu and we loved it. The tomatoes were sweet tasting and not mushy. The chicken was fantastic and juicy. The fish had a bisque sauce which was very tasty. Not soupy like a bisque. I'm not a fan of caviar but it added a salty flavor so it wasn't bad. Service was impeccable. We did a reservation and did not have any problems. Staff was attentive and friendly. The small sign is easily overlooked. I think a better sign to be more eye catching.

Excellent overall - menu with small but carefully selected and prepared options. Portions allow for starter & main plus room for dessert. Nice well-priced wine selection. Servers well-informed & efficient. Small, comfortable. A great husband & wife team have created an excellent dining experience.

If you are looking for fine dining, you can't go wrong here. We had the tasting menu with like 7 courses of small portions of their specialties including deconstructed Cullen Skink, venison and veggie haggis, and of course chocolate cake dessert. Everything was delicious. Right on the Royal Mile.

Good value for money. Considering the options in Edinburgh, this is a safe bet. The ambience is a "cool" fine-dining and the staff super friendly. The food was really tasty and steak perfectly cooked. We had their meal in the last days before lockdown and was an ending on a high note. The price is fair and chef is creative enough.

On our final night in Edinburgh, we had dinner at the Wedgwood. I booked about a week in advance. The restaurant itself is split into two levels - we were seated in the basement, which is small but cosy and comfortable. The food was good, the wine was good, and the service was great. We had the pigeon to start, the venison and confit pork belly as mains, and the sticky toffee pudding to finish. All the dishes were fantastic, but the confit pork belly stood out! I would highly recommend this for pork belly fans. I also really appreciate when restaurants offer nice bread and butter/oil. Tasty carbs and fat, can't go wrong with that. Instead of butter, they serve the bread with a homemade garlic herb oil that I could literally take a bath in. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal. With a bottle of wine, it all amounted to £80 for 2 people. I would say the Wedgwood is good value for the quality and service.

One of the loveliest places I've been. And I was so thrilled when the waitress gave me a little menu that they had made just for me! (I'd phoned ahead). My starter choices were: Tomato terrine, cucumber gel, balsamic caviar. Or grilled asparagus, truffle and girolle vinaigrette. I chose the asparagus and it was perfect. The waitress also brought me a little portion of the cucumber gel from the other starter choice, as I had wondered what it was like. I thought that was a really nice touch, and very thoughtful of her. My main choices were: Aubergine caponata, confit tomato, artichokes. Or curried white beans, tenderstem broccoli, sea vegetables. I chose the aubergine caponata, as I don't normally cook aubergine for myself, as I think it's quite a difficult thing to get right, so I was pleased to have it made for me by people who know what to do with it, and the whole dish was utterly delicious. I could have eaten everything, it sounded so enticing. I felt really looked after, and completely safe here that my dietary requirements had been completely respected. I didn't have a dessert, as I didn't have room but it would have been sorbets and berries. Waiting staff were great throughout, polished and professional, with a touch of warmth but not over-familiarity. Service was fairly slow, but we were in a large group, so it was understandable, and they went into top gear when we mentioned we were going to a Festival show, and made sure everyone got their desserts or coffees pronto. I loved the food and service here, it was a wonderful experience.

I give very few 5 star reviews, but this place is very deserving. Everything from the ambiance to spectacular service and great food, make this one of my favorites. The staff is so attentive and knowledgable of the menu and wine. Their wine selection included a red that was specifically for this restaurant and it was out of this world and really reasonable. I had the venison that was a new menu addition and it was perfect. Everything about this night was perfect and if you only go to one restaurant in Edinburgh, make it this one and you will not be disappointed.

The best meal of my vacation. Started with leek and potato soup. Then a nicely cooked piece of scorched cod...grilled with a slight char. Served on a bed of veggies. Attentive service. Treacle tart, ice cream and tea to finish. Tasteful modern decor. You won't go wrong!

After visiting Holyrood Palace & mingling w/ Royalty, hunger set in & luckily we had rezzies at Wedgewood....you'll want to make sure you get rezzies here post haste! Mom enjoyed Salmon w/ Mushy Peas - perfectly sized portion of her fave Salmon & the mushy peas were chunky & full of flavor & she loved it Dad's a steak man all the way - Fillet w/ Chips hit the spot - perfectly cooked like he likes it & the chips were crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside - he even cleaned his place & he's not usually in the Clean Plate Club.... so this should tell you something I was excited to see Gnocchi but had my doubts about the Wilted Rocket pairing w/ it.....you see, I loathe all wilted leafy greens. They make me gag but I was willing to give it a try & boy am I glad I did The Wilted Rocket was like baby rocket small & paired w/ Spring Onions in a Balsamic glaze - this seared the gnocchi & made them have this carmelly "crust" and w/ the remaining little bit of sauce was finished w/ a dollop of creme fraische .....*extremely* flavorful & finished the whole plate....cause you see, I *am* in the Clean Plate Club Desserts were Sticky Toffee Pudding w/ Cream for me, Whiskey & Honey Panna Cotta for parents. Light yet extremely flavorful & again hit the spot (which is apparently my catch phrase for this review) Such a memorable lunch & will def come back when visiting!

When I was instructed to meet for lunch at a restaurant called Wedgwood, the name took me back to history lessons at school, where we learned about the Wedgwood pottery empire for what seemed like a very, very long time. Don't get me wrong, I liked history a lot, but I think at the time I thought scrawling song verses in every corner of my school diary was more important than actually learning anything. Anyway, getting back to the restaurant, I think I expected there to be fine china plates, those little, dainty teacups with tiny handles and a butler-type-waiter smiling politely, but giving you a look that could shatter glass if you dared to use the wrong fork, or put your elbows near the table. In reality, the staff at Wedgwood the Restaurant are not at all scary, in fact they're very informative and accommodating, the décor is fresh and modern, and my lunch was delish. The restaurant has a cosy feel to it, seating 48 people, with a private dining room downstairs, which fits 18. All the restaurant's ingredients are locally sourced, which is all good, so I went for a salmon, herring rollmop and beetroot starter, followed by braised beef and peppercorn sauce for my main. The two large hunks of beef were perfectly tender, and also a nice change to the usual steak offering at restaurants. A little portion of sticky toffee pudding and Chantilly cream was next on the list, definitely very sweet, but not sickly sweet. The coffee was potent and straight to the point, which was handy, as the strenuous effort of eating three courses had left me sleepy. On the crockery theme, there seemed to be a lot of attention to detail, with spoons in cool, weird shapes, a bowl resembling a UFO and other delightful food holding items. Very reasonably priced Royal Mile dining, and definitely worth more than just a peek round the door.

This place was a pleasant suprise. Joey C and I are in town and had just finished the ghost and terror tour (fun btw), meandered down the royal mile and stumbled upon this place. I had the Scallops with Haggis which was REALLY GOOD! The scallops were succullent and delicious! If you're nervously curious about haggis, this would be the dish to order. Each Scallop sits on a spoonful of Haggis so you have a decent sized portion to determine if you like it or not. Joey had the Fillet of Scottish Lamb with cous-cous and sweet potato. It was delicious! Juicy and tender meat, the cous-cous breading she could have done without but it wasn't bad. The sweet potato was well puree'd too. worth it!

My friends and I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a wee while. The dinner menu being considerably dearer, we decided to go here for lunch instead. At £12.00 for 2 and £16.00 for 3 courses ..... we had ourselves a bargain! The menu changes constantly or so it says on the website. So in theory I shouldn't have been surprised that it was not the same as the one on the website. But... I was. A little. My fault entirely. You see.. I had spent days studying the menu and picking out exactly what I wanted to order! The 'new menu' however did not disappoint. I ordered a smoked paprika pork loin with black pudding, parsnip crisps and a tapenade for my starter (£3.50 added supplement). The plate of food looked so beautiful, it felt criminal to dive in. But I did. And it was gorge. The pork was 'melt-in-the-mouth' tender and the parsnip crisps and the black pudding just made it perfect! I got the venison ragout with some posh mash (it had peas and parsley) and celeriac puree for my main. And THAT was some ragout. If I could get Mr Wedgwood to share that recipe, I'd cook it every week! Without a doubt. Lovely and rich with individual bits of carrots, sweet potato, shallots and venison cooked to perfection. For dessert, after a mighty tug of war between the other choices which included a chai panna cotta with cardamom biscuits and some orange something, I settled on a de-constructed Tiramisu. This arrived with a chocolate brownie topped with chantilly cream infused with orange and a coffee granita. Absolutely stunning. The menu offers a great choice of wines including the choice of ordering half bottles. I had the Cabernet Merlot, Seabrook, Western Cape, 2010 which was delightful. All in all, brilliant food, fab service, great attention to detail and pretty darn reasonable. Will definitely be back again and very soon too!!

It's a shame that Wedgewood is near the bottom of the Cannongate - an area that is generally quieter than everywhere else in Edinburgh, because it really is an excellent restaurant. The staff and the food are excellent! And the price is even better! They do a great lunch menu daily, all details are put up on the window in the morning and each option is mouth watering. I've lost count of all the times I've stood outside this restaurant and oogled the menu, drooling. They are a bit inventive with their food - I once had parsnip creme brulee - but have an open mind and you can only be surprised! I recently ate in total darkness in a concept-restaurant in Paris (it was a weird experience but I would highly recommend it) and so I found I have started to appreciate the taste of everything now, and Wedgewood is a total dream. It's bliss!! Everybody I've spoken to about this stunning restaurant love it as much as I do - really is a great place.

Eating out breakfast, lunch and dinner you tend to be as thorough as possible and the Wedgwood did not disappoint! The manager was very accommodating and the wait staff was not only helpful with menu choices but also quite hilarious! From the bread and oil to the amazing sticky toffee dessert to the wine it was perfect! We were downstairs and loved the ambience. Even the restroom was cute and had nice touches. This is a must try!

We visited Wedgewood just before Christmas, for the boy's birthday. Such is his curse, that his day for getting older happens to be slap bang in the office party season, so it's sometimes difficult to find places to go out and have a quiet meal. Wedgewood I had heard had a nice atmosphere, and good food from Yelp reviews, so we decided to give it a try. First note of dischord was being seated right by the front door - but it actually was ok, not draughty and we weren't disturbed much at all, even though the restaurant was heaving. I went for the sea radish pannacotta, he had the beef stir fry for starters. Mine...definitely on the wierd radar, and glad I decided to try it, probably wouldn't bother again, but I can certainly regale my experiences to those who want to hear about it (green, wobbly creamy and salty... not a conversation you necessarily want to eavesdrop against), it will take a while to forget it. I was happy to get the palate cleanser (nice wee surprise that) of lime sorbet, ginger beer and crushed raspberries. Mains.. he had the lamb which constituted of various versions of lamb, although the seaweed coating wasn't a success... too salty for his tastes. I had the aubergine and goats cheese cannelloni. While I liked the idea of aubergine as an alternative to pasta, there was too much goats cheese and the dish overall felt distinctly average compared to the rest of the dishes ordered. Desserts were cheese board (kindly without blue cheese) and a nicely plated deconstruction of a pear tatin. So, the food was pretty decent overall, despite the disappointing veggie main. Service... lacklustre. We had one drink order at the start, and a struggle to get attention thereafter. I ended up drinking the SR's water, as it started to feel all Lawrence of Arabia on the lack of liquid front. By the end it was positively dreadful, as we watched the waitresses polishing silver and resetting tables, despite the number of tables still busy and we were still waiting to place an order.. get the bill... anything. In the end, we gave up, and I stood at the till to get the bill so we could leave. Definitely felt like the waitresses were not on the ball, which was disappointing, as the irritation increased the longer we waited to try to get attention. I probably won't rush back, as I wasn't overwhelmed in the end, although the SR enjoyed his meal, which was the important part of the night.

If I could use one word to sum up my dining experience last night at Wedgwood, it would be: underwhelmed. I'd been wanting to try it out for a long time as I'd heard good things. Although I tried to go in without any expectations, I was just severely underwhelmed. The food was ok. I had the scallops to start, which was tasty, but at £12.95, I was hoping for more than 2 scallops cut in half to make 4 morsels.. Same could be said about the minute portion of langostine which arrived on our dining companion's plate. D had pigeon which was good, although overpowered by the haggis it was served with. I had the rabbit wrapped in pancetta and have to agree with Grace that it was delicious, although slightly over salted. D had the deer which I found to be a total let down. The meat wasn't very flavourful, lacking the gaminess which I enjoy about deer meat. Again it was overpowered by the haggis that it came with. Our dining companion had lamb and verdict was that although the meat was good, the flavours didn't work when you put all the components together. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding & chocolate brownie which were ok, but nothing special. Out of the two times we had a server come to pour our wine, they only filled 3 glasses out of 4 each time. Although I can't say the service was bad, I was hoping for something a little more than the minimal. Having gone downstairs to use the bathroom, I'm very glad we were seated upstairs. If you're booking, definitely request a table upstairs! Although nothing about the evening was terrible, for the price point, I very much feel like I've gotten much better value elsewhere.

The lunch deal here at Wedgwood has got to be one of the best I have seen in Edinburgh. This place is quality. The service is friendly, and the food is just utterly scrummy!!! For a 3 course lunch here you are looking at under £15.............. and I honestly do NOT know how. Well, that's a lie, I do, but I don't know why?!?!?! The food is worth far much more than that and I plan on returning several times especially when you consider in some places, that I shall not name, you can be paying up to £6 for a panini..... here I paid £10 and I had a starter of Beetroot Panna Cotta with Crispy Parma ham then a heavenly salad. Oh dear. The beef was sooo perfectly cooked with crispy croutons, sweet balsamic onions, fresh spinach. The moment these plates were put in front of a pretty gobby me and the awfully chatty Jenny L I think a miracle happened. We sat, in silence, in awe, in enjoyment of this delicious food. We did however talk about it for the rest of the day. It was amazing. The dinner menu looks tremendous and like it could really push some barriers, very exciting! Aiming to go back for that at some point. But give the lunch a go. It's only a tenner..... what you got to lose?!

I'm a bit disappointed I just went to Wedgewood for lunch, because I can only imagine what their dinner must be like. If it's anything like their lunch menu, it's probably fantastic--just the right amount of traditional Scottish food mixed with bright flavors and a modern twist. On a cold, rainy day the potato and garlic soup was perfect for warming up, as was the beef stroganoff-esque dish I got for my main. And a glass of red wine was the perfect touch for a lazy afternoon meal!

Stunning. Stunning, stunning, stunning. With relaxed but attentive and friendly staff and service, and a great location on the Royal Mile, Wedgwood has a lot going for it before your starter even reaches your table. The good news is, once the food arrives, it just keeps getting better. I had the scallops with parmesan flakes and salmon garnish with dijon dressing as a starter, and they were perfectly cooked -- moist, not dry, and with a very successful combination of flavours. The portion size was ideal for a starter -- five (large) scallops is perfect. For my main course, I had three fillets, one each of lamb, beef and pork, with Chinese vegetables and pancakes. The meats were all cooked to a turn, with the vegetables and sauce adding depth but not overpowering. This was a great find. Comparing it to the Grainstore, I think Wedgwood comes out on top. It's honest, Scots-inspired fusion with great values. When I'm next in Edinburgh, I will definitely be going again!

Certainly, Wedgwood is one of Edinburgh's premier dining establishments. Dishes are fresh and innovative, and executed to an extremely high standard. I'd heartily recommend that you pay it a visit, very soon. Overall, we said: "I was blown away by Wedgwood. I had a notion in my mind that the place would be good, but "good" turned out to be a considerable understatement. The food is of exceptional quality, with quietly understated elegance permeating every flavour-packed fork and spoonful. I can't recommend it highly enough, so would encourage you to visit at your earliest opportunity."

I was so jetlagged when I ate here.... But I loved loved loved the food! I had the pigeon with haggis, and then the scallops with more haggis, and a bunch of beer. So great! The food really was artfully done. On tip though.... we were in our touristy garb, jeans/sweaters... and everyone else around us was rather dressy. Made me feel like such a scrub. I'd come back here next time I'm in Edinburgh for sure.

Absolutely first-rate. You want to show a girl a good time? Or maybe just yourself? Go here. My wife and I went here near the start of our honeymoon and it was one of the best places we ate the entire trip (it even topped every restaurant we tried in Paris). The service was first-rate, the menu was diverse and incredibly tempting, and the food? Oh God, the food. We started things off with the Lanarkshire blue cheese risotto bon bons, which were crunchy, creamy, and delicious. My wife had the Chermoula crumbed lamb filet, while I tried their crisped potato gnocchi with broccoli, black olives, sunblush tomatoes, and cream. Both of our meals were utterly outstanding. I don't think I've ever had better gnocchi, and the combination of flavors was perfect. We finished things off with a chocolate truffle cake and the Scottish cheese board, both of which made a great end to a wonderful meal. This place is great. Even better, the prices are completely reasonable. Honestly, for food and service this great, I really wouldn't have minded paying more - but the fact that I didn't makes this place all the better. Would definitely go here again.

Faultless service at dinner here last night and excellent food which was well presented and filling to just the right degree (particularly the sole fillets, stuffed with spinach and goats cheese, broccoli puree and chorizo). Worth every penny of the £35 per head. Didn't peruse the wine list myself but the Merlot was a good accompaniment to all 3 courses and I'd certainly relish coming back here.

So I googled best places to eat in Edinburgh and saw this place. The search was defiantly not wrong. Me and my girlfriend went for the evening service and were very impressed the quality and presentation of the food was 10/10. The service is also great. With only around a dozen tables it allows the staff to serve with a very high standard. Would defiantly recommend this place!

This really was disitictly average so A-ok sums it up perfectly. Their lunch deal really do look like great value, 2 courses for £12 in such a fine dining restaurant sounds tremendous. A colleague decided she wanted to have her leaving lunch here so offer went earlier this week to see what they had to offer. For starter I went for the fishcakes. 2 small cakes, with a little salad and salsa. Crispy fishcakes with a soft potato filling and haddock flavour. Pretty darn good i would say. This would on its own merit 4 stars. For the main I went for the meatballs with blackpudding and mash potato. The meatballs for a fine dining restaurant were erm rustic. Very roughly chopped onion sticking out, quite small and really didnt look like anythign special. The blackpudding was mixed itno the potato and just somehow lacked any flavour at all. The meatballs needed more caramelisation on the outside and a good bit more seasoning. The mash needed to not have blackpudding in it and have more seasining. In such a simple dish while the presentation was ok it just didnt work as a dish at all. Actually for this dish on its own it would be 2 stars. The service and the fishcakes even it out as a 3 star overall. Really disappointing all in alo

Our party of 3 had an excellent dinner there. Starters, mains and cheese could not be faulted - there was no room for dessert (not that portions are too big - we just weren't that hungry). The excellent wine selection and attentive service are also worth noting. Only downside would be the premises: well appointed, but not "airy" enough (downstairs is windowless, upstairs has (nice) kitchen smells. When good food like this is served, I don't consider this to be too relevant.

Wow! I went here on my first night in Edinburgh with my mom, and we absolutely loved it!! I got the haggis, pigeon, neeps, and tatties app - so good! Although I did feel a bit weird eating medium rare pigeon, it was delicious! My mom (vegetarian) had nettle soup. For our mains we had mutton loin with black pudding (me) and a mediterranean chickpea dish (mom). The Spanish wine we paired with it was great too. Recommended for anyone looking for a fancy night out... especially if someone else pays! ;) only complaint: we made a reservation two weeks in advance and were stuck in the table in the hallway near the kitchen. that was not so nice.

I wanted to try this place after read a lot of it and good reviews. I think the food are good in general but each course is "over" made in flavors, they mixes to much, also alot of sweetness and sugar ad to the dishes, like restaurants did in the 80:s. I had for main "Deer" as main and it was to dry to be good. and starter was Asian inspirited dish's OK but not special. I rather prefere the restaurants Wildfire or Calistoga,the serve pure good grocery's and meat not covered in 10 different flavors. Decor: ok, clean Stuff: professional

I was lucky enough to be treated to a fab dinner here at the end of Dec 12. The food was great and the staff were lovely. There was a slight glitch when the waitress admitted forgetting to put our dessert order through after we chased it up but then they knocked it off the bill which was very decent. Would definitely recommend it for a treat/special occasion.

A more upmarket restaurant in a quite area. I hadn't even realised this was here until I was taken here my a friend. I loved the service and the quality of the food. I had the Scottish lamb wrapped in cous cous and it was delicious and my friends really liked their dishes too. I really appreciate it when places that are going to charge you a little bit more will at least have a higher standard in service and quality in food, without it being too pompous or the waiters hanging around your table. Wedgewood seems somewhat unspoilt by its touristy location and the menu was inventive and according to the waitress renewed quite often. A breath of fresh air for this part of town for a more special evening dining experience.

We were planning a ladies lunch, it was second day of the festival and the sun was shining . So where do ladies that lunch go? We decided on Wedgewood, so we took advantage of the 12 pounds for two courses, or 3 courses for 16 pounds. The restaurant itself is well laid out and had a lovely buzz about it when we walked in. We'd booked in advance which was a good idea as the restaurant as full soon after we arrived. We went for a fresh salmon starter which was served with beetroot puree and a deep fried haggis with a wonderfully spicy salsa. The salmon was so fresh I was instantly transported to the beach at North Berwick, and the beetroot puree has a wonderfully earthy taste which wasn't too sweet as beetroot dishes can be sometimes. The haggis was beautifully soft inside with a nice crunchy bite on the outside and the salsa had a really good kick on the finish. Our mains were just as good and my coley filet was cooked perfectly with the flesh still being firm and flavourful. I have to admit I don't remember which wine we ordered (but it was delicious) as I left my friend to order that as I had to duck out and deal with a parking situation at that point of the meal. If you're looking for a great value lunch served with a changing menu taking advantage of the fresh seasonal ingredients available, I'd highly recommend Wedgewood. By all means take advantage of the 3 courses for 16 pounds, but if like us you're too full then I'd highly recommend a wander to let your lunch digest then a trip across the road to Mimi's picnic parlour that does Luca's ice creams!

Very nice meal overall. Reasonable lunch set. Starter was a poached trout with caviar and potato salad. Main was venison and black pudding meatballs. Dessert was a platter of 4 Scottish cheeses. All very well done. I'm not usually a fan of game meat but the meatballs were very enjoyable indeed.

This restaurant has a really good reputation, unfortunately I was a little underwhelmed. There was nothing wrong with the food or service, it just didn't wow me. Others obviously disagree, so maybe it was just a bad day.

Not really recommend this restaurant. The service is kind of good, the food is ok but very small size. The atmosphere is very noisy not cozy at all.

We had the set menu at Wedgwood in 2014. The food was average and quite bland, which is why we did not return. However, I've heard good reviews from my friends about it since then. I would give it another go and try the A la Carte menu. Not on the top of my list of restaurants in Edinburgh at the moment.

This place is world class. We started with a small scallops starter. The dish had 5 sliced scallops on it with a curry sauce that was amazing. Although we had already opened a nice Bordeaux, they brought a palette cleanser that was delicious, but maybe went too far in influencing the flavor going forward. That being said, we had the sea trout and the charred cauliflower entrees. It did not take long for the entrees to take control of the palette. The sea trout was prepared to perfection and the sauce and complements were near perfection. My wife had the veg option and it did not fail to impress. We did not have room for dessert, but could not pass up a few forks of the sticky pudding with an amazing butterscotch sauce with a tablespoon of ice cream. We couldn't stop eating it. Good thing we have a big hike tomorrow. Lastly, the service was spectacular. The women who took care of us tonight were engaged in making sure we had a delightful dinner. There are a lot of mediocre places to eat in the Royal Mile, this is truly an oasis for a foodie.

Wedgwood comes very highly recommended and with good reason. Heading for an occasion Sunday lunch, we select the £25 3 course Xmas lunch option. The menu offered five choices per course which is very generous and it was difficult to select between the delicious offerings. The smoked salmon was a winner - as you would expect in Scotland. The blue cheese risotto Bon bons were yummy and the beetroot garnish helped cut through the richness of the dish. Main course of venison stew was tasty although the serve a little on the small side while the corn croquettes with a crab salsa was as pretty as it was tasty. Dessert was the highlight though. Before lunch I didn't know that a posset is a type of set dessert a little less viscous than a pannacotta, after lunch I know that I want more posset! This lemon version was simple, clean and delicious. My friend had the Christmas pudding with a to die for brandy sauce. Wine list is very thorough and reasonably priced and the whiskey selection is pretty great. Check out the reserve selection for something really special should you want to splurge this festive season. Highly recommended.

One of the best meals I've had. We started with the scallops which were amazing, and then we had the pork belly and butternut squash entrees - which were fabulous. Not to mention the delicious raspberry sorbet palette cleanser was sweet and just right between our scallops and entrees. We finished with sticky toffee pudding and dark chocolate with marshmallow. Incredible decor and service, anyone visiting make time for dinner here!

Wonderful little gem. Small but relaxed. Amazing menu, cooked to perfection. Service is outstanding. I was dressed smart/casual. Arrived at about 8, no reservation needed on the night as they had a free table for us. Usually you need to book. Wonderful place cant wait to go again.

The waitresses were very friendly and the food was delicious. We had some local micro brew beers. The pudding with fennel for a starter was fantastic.

Would not know what the food or experience is because they apparently "did not get our reservation when we called three days before!

If I were only allowed to describe Wedgwood in one word, it would be "Perfection" Incredible food, attentive service, and good company made this meal my best in Scotland thus far. We started with a bottle of Shiraz, and our appetisers included the lobster creme brulee and pigeon over haggis, neeps and tatties. Wow wow wowza! Being American, the thought of eating "rat with wings" was a little off-putting, but it's not like they just picked a bird off the street! Who knew that there are farm raised pigeons? My new favourite poultry? Maybe... As for the creme brulee, it was a huge hit. So delicate and inventive, and served with bloody mary sorbet that was fantastic. The chef clearly has a creative side, and it translates so well into the food. I ordered the pancetta wrapped rabbit for my entree, and it was absolutely amazing! So tender and flavourful, and the sauces paired with it were exceptional. Our friend ordered the scallops with pork belly, and those too were excellent. For dessert we went for the sticky toffee pudding, housemade fudge, and one more (what it was escapes me at the moment!) but it had a really nice ice cream paired with it. Vanilla pistachio fudge, nummy!!! There was absolutely nothing to complain about. The price points were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food as well, which is always a bonus. Be sure to make a reservation when you dine here, as the seating is pretty limited.
