Sticky Toffee Pudding is synonymous with Scotland, and when doing a search, after dinner one night in Edinburgh for the best Sticky Toffee Pudding in town, Wedgewood showed up at the top of the list. So, armed with a great desire to eat the best, and without any reservation (but later in the evening), we marched down the Royal Mile to the restaurant and looked as hopeful as possible when we walked in. Our hopes were answered with a quick delivery of my wife and me to a nice table for two and the dessert menu. We shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding. It was the first one we had in Scotland and the one that became the litmus test for all the others. It was REALLY GOOD. The sauce it was coated with was rich and premium...the cake was perfect with the perfect amount of spices in it to make it all feel very indulgent and perfect. Honestly, every Sticky Toffee Pudding we had after this one was a little bit of a disappointment. Thanks, Wedgewood The Restaurant, for giving us a space late one June night, and for the best Sticky Toffee Pudding we've ever had. read more

Everything about this restaurant was the best. First off the owner (lisa) was super helpful and engaged. All the items on the menu were appealing and the service was perfectly paced. I started with a green gazpacho that was delicious and my husband had the salad with smoked lamb. Bread was hot and butter oh so good. I had salmon as my main course and venison rage was what my husband had. Both perfectly cooked and absolutely the best presentation. I ordered the cheese course(yum!) and sticky toffee was my husbands choice. Empty plates all around. I don't drink alcohol but they had a lovely NA Sauvignon from South Africa. Perfect. This is a must visit restaurant. We only wish we went back there today!!! read more

Awesome food, terrific service, delightful experience. If you don't have cured grouse breast in your life you are missing out. Try it, it won't disappoint. read more

We have been here twice, once for a tasting menu dinner on NYE and another for the a la carte menu. Both times we have loved the experience, thanks to the excellent food/produce and the staff who make sure your meal is memorable. The venison we had in our last meal was truly delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant, but if you can, request to sit upstairs on the ground floor level as opposed to the basement. read more

A great food experience in Edinburgh and I would say the best meal we had during our visit. All of the ingredients were very fresh and the service was great. It is a smaller place so I think reservations are a must. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Gazpacho shot as a palate cleanser after appetizers was excellent, as was the salmon appetizer.

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. read more

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. read more

The food was a delicious blend of flavors, well prepared and presented. The staff was fantastic! Attentive, available and supportive. It felt like an intimate, cozy evening out. read more

Understated, friendly and comfortable. Delicious food worthy of a Michelin rating. Great service.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great place to be. Every bite was a wonderful surprise. The greetings from the kitchen before and between the courses have been delicious. Everything handmade. The haggis-pralinés a very new and impressing way to discover traditionell meals. The service really friendly and attentive. Staying in Edinburgh we would have come every evening, unfortunately it is closed Monday and Tuesday for the time beeing. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Wonderful food and service, an absolutely must do while visiting Edinburgh. Great atmosphere and vibe. A total package. read more

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. read more

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?! read more

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! read more

Very enjoyable meal with attentive, friendly staff. All four at the table had the lamb, and all left happy. Would come again during our next trip. read more

OMG...do not pass this place up!!!! The service was outstanding. The owner Lisa is adorable! We had reservations and came early but they fit us in. The pork belly was awesome and served with cracklin! (what a treat for a southern girl) How great! The scallops and salmon were awesome! Make reservAtions and DONT MISS GEM!!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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." read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more
