Angels with Bagpipes blends historic charm with modern Scottish cuisine in a sleek, atmospheric setting right on Edinburgh’s iconic Royal Mile. Set in a 17th-century building, this smart casual spot offers a refined yet approachable dining experience just minutes from many of the city's top concert venues.
With an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and creative presentation, the menu features elevated takes on Scottish classics. Inside, expect a candlelit interior that feels both intimate and stylish — ideal whether you're grabbing a bite before a gig or lingering over dessert after the encore.
Its prime location in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town means you’re never far from a venue — perfect for catching a show without watching the clock. Many reviewers praise the efficient and attentive service, making it easy to enjoy a full meal even if you’re on a tight schedule. The restaurant’s calm, elegant vibe also offers a welcome contrast to the buzz of the concert crowd, making it a great place to wind up or wind down your evening.
Diners on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently rave about the beautifully presented dishes, particularly the haggis starter and venison mains. Many highlight the attentive service and serene ambiance, calling it a “hidden gem” on the busy Royal Mile. The lunch and early evening menus also get praise for their value, especially for such a central location. Several reviewers note it’s a great choice for a special occasion or date night before a performance.
While the setting is impressively elegant, some guests mention that the portion sizes can be on the smaller side, especially for those with bigger appetites. It’s also worth noting that the quiet, refined atmosphere may not suit those looking for a lively pre-gig buzz. Reservations are recommended, as the intimate space fills up quickly — particularly on weekends or during festival season.
If you're after a sophisticated bite before the music starts, Angels with Bagpipes delivers refined Scottish fare in a setting as memorable as your concert night.
