I love this place. I always bring all my friends that come to visit me to Edinburgh so they can try the Scottish breakfast which is lovely here.
I've tried to have breakfast a couple times in the last 6 months. They open at 11 and serve it until 13:00. So, even if it's not even 13:00, they stop serving it.
I've made it to arrive within the last 10 minutes to 13:00 and they'd just tell me they stopped serving breakfast.
It is really upsetting.
We went in for lunch on a cold day. The place was really packed due to the Festival. We waited for quite a time before landing on a table. I like the ambiance of the place. Its very old Scottish. We ordered Ceasar Salad, Yorkshire Pudding, Lamb Shank and Sausage & Mash. Food was serve hot. The Sausage were tasty and the Lamb was very tender. We enjoyed the whole dining experience. I highly recommend Castle Arms when visiting Edinburgh. Surely we'll visit again.
Buon pub non molto distante dal Castello di Edimburgo, arredato in tipico stile inglese. Ci siamo rifugiati durante una fresca estate di fine estate e abbiamo trovato un ambiente accogliente e piacevole. I piatti tutti buoni e saporiti, come l'hamburger con l'haggis, che potrebbe rivelarsi un buon compromesso per assaggiare questo curioso piatto scozzese. Buone le birre e piacevole per passare una serata tranquilla. Buoni i prezzi.
The Castle Arms è un accogliente pub situato sulla salita che porta al castello di Edimburgo. Potete scegliere di fermarvi qui sia per la colazione con una vasta scelta, ma anche per cenare o semplicemente bervi una birra. Se scegliete di cenare consigliamo di arrivare presto, il pub tende ad affollarsi dal tardo pomeriggio fino a sera tardi. Sicuramente non potete mancare di provare l’hamburger con Haggis: squisito. Inoltre, durante il nostro soggiorno, abbiamo avuto possibilità di chiacchierare con i camerieri, italiani, molto gentili e disponibili.
The place is just under the castle, the food is typical and very well done, the haggis is a must to try but also the lamb shank was very tender and juicy, the price is really good consider the position and the portion of the food.
The view outside is amazing.
If you go to Edimburgh tou have to eat here.
I had the lamb shank. It was very delicious! Inviting pub atmosphere. Quick meal service. Tasty gravy. Creamy potato. A safe haven from a rainy day and a 2 minute walk to the entrance to the castle.
Decent pub for where it’s located! Full of tourists, especially in August (totally my bad for visiting at this time!) so got quite busy / hectic. However service was decent, beers were good (they had a decent selection), and food was alright considering!
First day in Scotland and we found the Castle Arms. Kind wait staff. Delicious food and a fun and friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Gustav did an amazing job.
I would give 100 stars for the food. Had castle arm special haggis with mashed potatoes vegetables and mushroom sauce. It was 😋 the quantity is awesome for the price. Kids loved their burgers. Salad 🥗 bowls and pizza everything 😋 we had yumm. Still my fav is castle arms haggis 🫶🥙🍛🍔
Good place to come for a pint and some pub food. It was very busy but the service was still quick. They have a good selection of beers on tap and very tasty food.
Stopped in for early lunch - food was good for the most part (mash and chips slightly bland). Friendly and quick service

We arrive around 9 PM but they kindly accepted ro keep the kitchen open only for us. Food was excellent, tasteful and made of fresh and quality ingredients. The restaurant is located between Johnson's terrace and Victoria's terrace and offers splendid views on Edinburg old town. Inside decoration is really beautiful. I had lamb shank which wasvperfectly cooked and the sauce was absolutely delicious. The Angus burger was cooked a bit too much.
Nice pub near the Royal Mile for standard drinks and food. Quick service, restrooms available downstairs, limited seating.
Had an amazing night watching the Rugby World Cup at The Caslte Arms, whilst getting introduced to the whiskey world by the whiskey connoisseur who even managed to get my partner to try whiskey! Extremely friendly staff and warm atmosphere, highly recommend going for a drink.
