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!
FANTASTIC place. Professional friendly helpful staff, excellent service, and GREAT food. We had potted crab n shrimp, pig cheek, and black pudding and olives. Then Burger with chips. I took a pic to show the burger, honestly, best burger I have ever had. Normally you get burger and think I could have gone burger King for half the price, but not with this one, it was sooooo tasty and juicy. Well worth the money
Beautiful surroundings and amazing place, what else could you ask for. You have definitely got three new regular customers
A lovely venue, attentive staff and lovely food. The Guinea Fowl was cooked just right and the entire dish was very tasty. The chocolate delice was amazing. Thanks
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!
Bistro has both indoor and outdoor seating. Would say the standard of food and service is definitely above typical and has a nice buzzy vibe.
On a warm day you can sit outside right by the waterside where there are a good few benches and if none available there are more outdoor benches just around the corner.
Order starters as Prawn and Salmon which were both fantastic. The flavours in the Prawn dish were the best and the amount of Salmon was huge. See pictures.
Then main courses of Seabass and Chicken goujons. Seabass was the best and a great dish. Chicken was OK liked it but probably wouldn't order again... Whereas all the others would definitely order again.
Whilst sat seen some Fish and Chips come out and that plate looked HUGE.
The bistro also has some specials of the day.
Two starters two mains and two soft drinks approx £60.
Would recommend.
Lovely bistro located at the side of the river. Menu was good and we enjoyed the battered fish supper. My son had the potted crab and really enjoyed it. The cider on tap was crisp and refreshing. Highly recommended
Beautiful place to go for a delicious meal . The food was excellent and the service wonderful . They were very friendly and welcoming to us . Definitely worth the visit if you're in Haddington
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. ❤
Tasty food, cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and a very picturesque outdoor setting - highly recommended!
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!!!
