Fodor's "Run by Martin Wishart, one of Edinburgh's true restaurant grandees, the Honours is a more relaxed (though no less pricey) alternative to his supertrendy, eponymous flagship." Full review
Frommer's "Don't miss the sublime crab cappuccino (served, thankfully, in a large bowl instead of a coffee cup), with chunks of succulent crab submerged in a creamy bisque and topped, of course, with foam." Full review

"Atmospheric, split-level bistro, hidden away at the bottom of the Royal Mile; it's personally run by a friendly team and a hit with the locals." Full review

Afar Magazine "Smart and easygoing, it has a menu emphasizing local and foraged ingredients: Sea radish (salty stuff) or woodland salad leaves may accompany the chef's creations." Full review
Fodor's "Asian, European, and traditional Scottish influences are apparent in dishes such as mackerel with sea arugula gnocchi, and beef fillet with bone marrow fritter and brandy cream. " Full review
