    Really good option for dinner and drinks. But be sure to book. Food menu is not very extensive but everything we tried was good. Drinks are fare price and service was good. The place is really cozy and beautiful!

    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
