Bia Bistrot

One of Edinburghs top restaurants hands down. On every aspect from the outstanding service to the delicious food and superb wine selection. This used to be a regular of mine when I lived in the area years ago and it still continues to impress me to this day. *Update* My first time back here, this time with an infant and I’ve got to say my dining was just as amazing. From our arrival we received help with the door, we’re seated at a table suitable with a pram and felt very welcomed. New parents will know the struggle of eating with one hand and the staff were more than accommodating asking if we’d like our meal sent back to cut into more manageable sizes. A big thank you to the entire Bia bistro team for a great lunch !

We went to this restaurant on our first evening in Edinburgh, what a splendid welcome. They have a vegan friendly menu which was just amazing. I had the fennel & leek cakes, one of the best meals I've ever had. I also had a bottle of ginger ale which was really refreshing. The place is very clean, smells fresh and the decor and lighting are quaint, great for a romantic evening if one is called for. As it was our first night in Scotland we were under the impression that it was not customary to tip and we left the waitstaff high and dry leaving only change on the table. The next day after talking to fellow diners at another restaurant we realized it is customary to tip 10% for good service in Scotland so I must apologize to the staff. The service was quite good! Make a reservation and have a great time, you won't be disappointed.

Interesting collection of dishes. Not a wide choice, but that is a good sign for somewhere of this size. Staff were helpful and attentive without being intrusive. Being someone from South of the border I found the wine prices fairly reasonable. We all enjoyed the dishes with a small exception being the presence of gunshot in the pigeon

A great place for dinner! We loved our meal here. The food was freshly cooked and excellent. The artisan bread we had with pesto dressing was divine. The wine was delicious too. It is a bit out of the way from the city centre but definitely worth the trip (We used Uber!) The restaurant has a lovely ambience and was great for a romantic meal. Would highly recommend.

Best food in Edinburgh ! We visited Bia Bistrot on a Tuesday evening , the restaurant was close to full. Classic interior and food to match. For lovers of classically made food look no further, good honest food cooked to perfection The food is incredible. Service was exceptional. Professional wait staff with fantastic knowledge on the menu & wines. We all loved Bone marrow starter , fresh local fish either Hake or Cod. My partner and I are not usually dessert fans but their hazelnut parfait was delicious. Wine list is carefully sourced, great value. Some fantastic organic options from smaller producers . One of the best places we've eaten in all year. Can't wait to come back
