Howies Restaurant 10-14 Victoria Street, Edinburgh EH1 2HG

"Ok so if you are a meat eater, absolutely 10/10 If you are vegetarian, you might want to look at the menu ahead of time as options are limited for sure Ordered the haggis as a starter, my first haggis and it was absolutely amazing!! My friend ordered the veggie haggis which all in all was pretty decent! He also ordered the roasted cauliflower which was pretty small in size and not sure I would order it myself We ordered the venison casserole and venison haunch. The haunch was absolutely amazing!!! The casserole was nice and hearty but no way beating the haunch! Generally I would highly highly recommend the place Service was very good and loved the atmosphere there. You MUST MUST have a reservation. Don't try walking in, chances are you will be disappointed Also the drinks menu....... As a whisky lover I was IN love with this place. The selection was very good. Got to try some new whiskies. The flights were also amazing. My friend tried the festive royal.. was not too happy about it. If you don't like whisky don't worry the wine list is also pretty long and you have cocktails too."

"Five starts experience at Howies, restaurant was recommended by a tourist guide and recommendation couldn't be better! Host accommodated my table request in a very polite and efficient manner even I didn't have a booking. Waiting staff was friendly and easily answered all questions about menu. I dinned from lunch menu, 3 courses. High quality of food, flavourous and delicious. Had to take a picture of menu to remember cocktail I got, it tasted like definition of 'Christmas'. Fantastic!"

"Great upscale restaurant at a reasonable price. I find the lunch menu quite good at only £20 per person. Options given on the lunch menu are great and portions are right. Everything we had was delicious and my friends, who are visiting, were amazed by the quality. Would definitely recommend this place. It is better to book in advance."

"Really good haggis! The fish was good and fresh too. The atmosphere was warm and cozy but busy, assure you set a reservation in advance, we did and were glad for it. Would recommend if you're looking for an upscale dining place to eat at as it's a bit pricey."

"This is a great place to eat pure and simple. All three courses were excellent. In particular, the venison was amazing. The staff are friendly and the part we were in was romantically lit. A really enjoyable evening and we would definitely go back. Book early as this place is popular."
