Metro at Apex Grassmarket

Excellent service and coffee! Would highly recommend this place!

Nice service, nice food.

Good service!!

This has been one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had in a restaurant! My wife and I were staying in Scotland for our honeymoon and stated that in our reservation. Not only did the staff congratulate us to our marriage, they also offered us two glasses of prosecco. The food was amazing, with fusion kitchen that was Indian-Scottish. We loved every single plate we got. The taste was unusual but really good with a twist in every bite. If we ever are in Scotland again, this will be a restaurant we'll revisit. We cannot thank the staff enough for the welcoming atmosphere and the amazing food we got.

This is in the Apex hotel. It has a modern setting but full glass windows looking out on a classic street making for good people watching. We had the pre fix menu meals and they were really good. The Haggis starter and haddock starters were very tasty. I had the flank steak and my wife had the chicken. All prepared very well. The chocolate pot cake dessert was a nice finish. All and all a good night out.

Buon servizio, ottimo caffè e buoni dolci. Personale cordiale e gentile!

Loved it!

Amazing food

Visited here one sunny sunday afternoon with Good friends... tasty steak, lovely chunky fries. Bearnaise sauce.. washed down by a lovely bottle of red...served by lovely friendly waitress..perfect spot for watching the world go by, also fantastic view of the back of Edinburgh Castle

Both breakfast and dinner were delicious! Very good service and reasonable prices,

We booked through 5pm.co.uk two courses and a small house wine £19 per head. We entered the Metro Brasserie and were greeted by Mario and explained we had booked with 5pm.co.uk and explained the menu option err had chosen. We were seated at the window beside a radiator that thankfully wasn’t on, and given the menu option we had chosen. I ordered the Haggis Bon Bon and Balmoral Chicken. We added a second glass of wine each and I decided on desserts of Peach Tart and Butterscotch Ice Cream finished off with a Illy Coffee. The staff were all attentive and very pleasant. There was a knife from a previous sitting under the table and when the second glasses of wine arrived I was surprised that waiting staff didn’t clear the previous empties. Those are the only faults I could find. Great location, friendly staff, good food and reasonable prices, even without the definitely visit again.

If you’re scared to try haggis, the haggis raviolo is a new twist and is mild & tasty. The steak tacos are good but the gluten free pizza is bland. Good local beer selection and view of castle across the street.

Interesting menu inspired by Scotland with Asian flavours. Tried few different dishes as the menu is Tapas styled although not to the same extent. Tikka chips were great, so was bangra sliders. Would recommend the place but would like bit more Indian flavours.

Great food. Big plates to share with friends. Try the lamb sliders, they were great.

Excellente cuisine. Service un peu long.

Cozinha vanguarda. Uma experiência engraçada. Repetir, se poder voltar? Sim!

Top brasserie! Eten was top, bediening perfect, zelfs tijdens de drukke festivalperiode. Een opmerking, maar die geldt voor Edinburgh in het algemeen, is het beschamend aanbod van alcoholvrije bieren. Ik weet dat dit vloeken is de kerk is in Schotland, maar times are changing.

Food was pretty interesting, let down by very poor service

Poor service, food could be better

Starters were okay, Crispy squid nice, haggis bon bon was alright. Mains were, Over cooked Risotto, Over cooked Vegetables, soggy fish skin, soggy Chicken Skin, bland & under Seasoned altogether, With about half a kilo of new potatoes on my plate. Chocolate Torte was good Cheese plate... there was no description of what I was given, so I'm unsure of what cheese I ate, but honestly it looked and tasted like 4 different varieties of Cheddar. All of which pretty much tasted the same. Not even a blue cheese or a brie? That's just basic.

Food nice enough, but no atmosphere and impersonal service.

Disappointed at the staffs' lack of understanding of gluten and wheat allergies. We were told menu items were suitable, but when questioning further it was clear there was wheat in the dish (doughnut dish was offered!?) or that there may be contamination e.g. same fryer used. Staff did consult what i suspect was an allergen list in the process but it was clear they did not understand it and they refused to let us see it to clarify which left us with no confidence that dishes offered would be suitable. We decided to leave and had some nice mexican street food across the road. Expected better from a restaurant with Tony's name.

Visited for lunch. Ordered North Indian Thali. Food quantity was like they gave you everything just to taste. Rice was in terms the way we just sprinkle salt. Not worth at all.

Staying at the apex city of Edinburgh which is sister hotel up the road we’re told we can use apex Grassmarket so went down to try breakfast was told it’s super busy was not at least 12 tables empty it’s small restaurant when the lady found out we were staying at apex up the road oh if you wait 10 mins we will have a table still 12 tables empty terrible service considering the apex we stayed at we couldn’t fault

We waited 20min for the order to be taken.we left as the staff just ignored us. 0 professionalism. 0 smiles. 20min lost. I don’t recommend Terrible staff

By far the worst service we have had in 10 days of travel. Nico the manager on duty was by far the worst leader on duty. Our food came 45minutes after ordering. Nico seemed to not care. No wonder the resturant was empty. I would NEVER recommend this place. Plus we paid 7 pounds for 4 chicken wings , unbelievable then the bill came with and they wanted to charge 12% for a tip. To be far the supervisor on duty remover that charge but did not offer to comp or discount our meal. You need to look at your staff and how they treat your tourist.

Attrape touristes. On aura du rester de l'autre côté de la rue. Plats chers et de mauvaises qualités. Des serveurs qui poussent à la consommation de façon insistante. Burger avec viande reconstituée et sec, Fish and chips pas cuit et raviolis qui baignent dans le beurre. Bouteille d'eau à 4livres pour 750ml. A fuir.

Not great no atmosphere

Tacky and gimmicky.
