This place is wonderful. A nice roomy atmosphere with cool jazz playing in the background. You are greeted with a warm welcome and lead to your table to settle into relaxing armchairs and given time to scrutinise the menu. On offer are scrumptious snacks including all day breakfasts and delightful pancakes. There's also veggie options. The staff are very attentive and accommodating. We will be returning to this place again and again.

We have used the Compass on several occasions over the last few months. Each time the staff have been professional and attentive. We have introduced several different parties to this fabulous Gastro Pub and everyone has enthused about the quality of the food and the ambience of the Compass. We were going to come into the Compass this afternoon but sadly it was closed. We wish all the staff the very best over the next 12 weeks(?) and look forward to seeing you all when you re-open.

We spent a few days in Edinburgh last weekend with our group of friends and booked this restaurant in advance. If you look from outside the restaurant, I initially had my doubts but nothing turns out to be less true. Super cozy decorated restaurant with a 2nd floor that is not visible from outside. Food was excellent and an absolute must to visit this restaurant. The staff was also super friendly. Thanks for the excellent diner. Greetings René (The Netherlands)

Excellent food, excellent service, did really well to accommodate a large group at short notice. Only tiny nitpick - dish for haggis fritters a little impractical. Would be better on something flat, e.g. plate or slate. Otherwise spot on from start to finish.

Neat, modern place with great food to boot! The staff is genuinely lovely and welcoming, you instantly understand why this gem of a place is popular. We found our way here the first evening of our stay in Edinburgh. We were encouraged to participate in the weekly quiz and had such a blast that we came back the next day for dinner. You should definitely look it up if you stay here.

Food was marvellous. The cola grazed pork belly was tender and juicy. The salmon and cod were nicely cooked. The people who attended to us were friendly and.answered our questions patiently. Would highly recommend this restaurant for quality food and service.
