Surprisingly high quality dinner, great gins/GTs, nice modernish take on a pub and good service. We had a Sunday roast and a steak sandwich and the latter was probably the best I’ve had.

Recently discovered The Jolly Botanist and have made a couple of visits since then. It has a quirky unique decor inside with is very welcoming and comfortable. The food is fantastic! We opted for the 'scottish tapas' for a little bit of everything. It was all cooked to perfection and every dish was as delicious as the next one. Staff are friendly and helpful. With a great knowledge of the many drinks the have on offer. Treat yourself to a night here and you definitely won't regret it. Only problem will be decided which one of the fantastic dishes to order 😁

This place was great. Went with my dad and uncle for some Sunday lunch and was not disappointed at all. The Scottish tapas menu was really well thought out and has something for everyone. We got 3 dishes each, which was more than enough. However, this did make the meal relatively expensive, considering it was just an afternoon lunch. That being said, everything we ate tasted amazing, all the dishes were cooked well and the presentation was nice. Usually I'm not a dessert guy but the cheesecake I got was different class. Thankfully it was very light as it would have been hard to eat a heavy dessert after all that. I reckon this place is ideal for any sort of occasion. Definitely will be back!

Food was great, but a little pricey. Great atmosphere and great drinks. Recommended getting the ribs and the pork belly bites.

First time I've been in this pub, in the Haymarket bit of Edinburgh, pleasant enough pub, no real ale though which was somewhat of a disappointment. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food offer or if there was one !

Staying at Leonardo’s to visit where my Grandfather grew up. (He was quite the Hearts of Midlothian fan back in his day) Popped into the Jolly Botanist for what was supposed to be a quick one. Angus sat us and was beyond hospitable. Drinks were top notch and served with a smile. Will definitely be back Xx
