Lovely place with really good food! We had the haggis bon-bons, scotch egg, halloumi fries and oxtail soup and everything was proper good. Prices were reasonable and the only reason I considered not giving 5 stars, is a rather meager selection of beer and at the time of our visit, there wasn't a guest cask ale. Would absolutely recommend! 😊

Perfect restaurant for Sunday dinner. Lovely area and walk from the city center, good selection of beer and whiskey, and of course outstanding food. The menu is unique, portions are good, and I recommend dessert (the berry apple crumble is amazing)

Not a bad little establishment. The food was nice. However, I had the fish finger burger and felt it lacked in flavour a little. The skin-on chips were brilliant, and the beef and Guinness pie was brilliant! No air conditioning in the place and toilets are tiny.

The Ox is a quieter pub experience than some of the other local spots. Excellent service and good food. Classic fish and chips proved tasty. Some vegetarian options were average. Intriguing fish sandwich.

Ate here during the Fringe having booked in advance. Service was prompt and we were quickly supplied with drinks after ordering them. Bramble cocktails were nicely chilled and had a gentle kick. Beavertown beers are also available.
Our party had the steak and Guinness pie which was freshly baked in the oven after ordering. A golden flaky crust covered succulent pieces of steak in a rich gravy. We also ordered sirloin steak which was nicely cooked to our taste, and served with good chips and a salad.
We were too full to try desserts but will return to sample these in the future.

The haggis balls were amazing. I was a bit skeptical about trying it. The taste reminded me of American scrapple. Everything else was delicious as well. We ordered the fish and chips, oysters, and beef meat pie.

Not been here for a while but was delighted to be surprised by great beer, great food and attentive service. Everyone ordered something different from the menu and everyone in our party of four were delighted. Great value for the quality of the food served.

Friendly staff. Had the haggis balls and the ox cheek. First time having haggis balls which was quite good. The Ox Cheek though was excellent. Tender, perfect amount of spice and paired well with my loa IPA.

We had the pleasure of enjoying a traditional Sunday roast while dining out in Edinburgh recently at a fantastic contemporary restaurant… the Ox.
Wait staff were friendly and prompt and from the pictures you can probably determine the food was fantastic.
This is not a traditional pub but a more upscale contemporary version and it’s well worth a visit.
The food is great, staff is friendly and it’s fairly priced.
If you find yourself wandering around one of the most beautiful cities in Europe on a Sunday and get hungry , I can highly recommend the Ox.
