Society Bar & Kitchen

October 4, 2025

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Society. Despite how busy it was (a testament to its popularity), everything from the food to the service exceeded expectations. Location & Atmosphere: The restaurant is in a prime location with classic views of the city. We were lucky enough to get a window seat — the perfect spot to enjoy brunch while soaking in the scenery. Food & Drinks: We ordered The Highlander (salmon, poached eggs, and cottage cheese on toast), and it was fresh, well-balanced, and delicious. The shakshuka was vibrant, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. The oat milk latte was smooth and creamy, and the coffee itself was strong and rich, exactly what you'd hope for in a good brunch. Service: The staff were warm and attentive, despite the busy atmosphere. A special shoutout to Lara, who went above and beyond to help us — she was kind, accommodating, and made us feel really welcome. Things to Note: There is a one-hour time limit per table, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. That said, the experience is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend if you're looking for a memorable brunch in Edinburgh with great food, top-notch service, and unbeatable views.

We truly enjoyed our dinner at The Society! Our server, Bee, was absolutely wonderful as she is warm, professional, and attentive. She made us feel so welcome and even took the time to ask about my food allergies, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our evening. Everything we ordered was exceptional: the beer was refreshing, the Margherita Pizza was marvelous, the Steak with Chimichurri sauce was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the Miso Aubergine was tender and rich. We ended the meal with the Toffee Pudding and it was absolutely delicious! Every dish was a highlight, and the service made it all the more memorable. Hands down, the best dinner we’ve had in Edinburgh. Highly recommend!

I went early in the morning and I was one of the first few customers, which turned out to be a great decision! Within minutes, the place started to fill up and was buzzing with people. Getting there early meant I could grab a lovely window seat, perfect for people-watching as the city started to wake up. ☀️ I ordered the Mama Club sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. Very hearty, flavourful, and kept me full for hours. The atmosphere was warm and lively, and you can tell it’s a popular spot for good reason. I’d highly recommend it for breakfast or brunch, especially if you can make it early and catch one of those coveted window seats!

I absolutely loved my dinner! The atmosphere was amazing. When we arrived it was full of people but it was still super great service and the food arrived within a reasonable time. The upstairs where we were seated was beautifully decorated with plants and such. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

Lovely, welcoming place. Looked after very well by Dominika. Prompt service. Enjoyed a cocktail. I had pizza, and all the toppings were cold. Buffalo cheese, tomato and rocket. All lovely ingredients, but I wouldn't have it again. Lovely cheesecake for dessert with an espresso martini.
