A wunderfull location that makes your day even it is rainy and windy outside. We felt a bit like coming home or visiting close friends... the staff here is doing an outstanding great job. Everything is well organised and we could recognize immediatley that the people working here do indeed love what they do.. Food was very well presented and tasted fantastic. This is the place to recommend for all who likes to be in a cosy warmhearted place with loveley people and fantastic food! Will return for sure when back in Scotland!

What a beautiful evening spent at the Waterside Bistro on 15 August 2023. The best meal I have ever tasted. Greeted with a warm welcome at the door and looked after from start til finish. Very friendly professional staff. Fresh bread and butter and bottled water all ready and waiting for us when we were seated. Mains were roast pork with black pudding, trio of fish, beef burger and chips. Desserts were chefs homemade chocolate mint cheesecake, and selection of ice cream. All portions were enormous!! One soft drink and 3 alcoholic drinks. £79 total. Local produce lovingly prepared. We will be back. Just superb!

Took our adult kid's to celebrate 🍾 a birthday. The Waterside is one of our favourite local eateries. Love the use of local produce and a lovely menu that doesn't overwhelm with too much choice. I had the pork loin....marvellous. Great choice of wine and beers too. Will always return. ❤

Vegetarian risotto was too salty for my taste. Jerk cod was somewhat bland but the creamed corn was tasty. Large portions. Waiter was perfect. Overpriced. Lovely location but troublesome finding the bistro and the car park.

We happened upon the Waterside for lunch and so glad we did. Cucumber gazpacho (pic), pigs cheek and black pudding with applesauce and the pasta with peas and broad beans were all exceptional! I only wish we were going to be in the area for dinner!

This place easily outranked all the other places we visited in Scotland... and we visited quite a few! Excellently positioned by the riverside, this place offers some really great food and drinks. The taste was simply majestic and the overall service was brilliant. We were lucky enough to secure a table, because the place was almost fully booked at the time of our visit. Possibly requires a reservation, but should you ever find yourselves in Haddington, make sure you pay a visit in this place!!!

We arrived on a Monday evening without a booking and were seated very quickly. It was a sunny day so we chose to sit outside by the river in what is a lovely setting. The menu and specials offered a good choice. The food and service were excellent and it wasn't overpriced. Definitely recommend and will be back again when we're in the area.
