    Excellent service and food. It was extremely loud in one part of the restaurant, we asked to move and it wasn’t a problem for them.

    The food was a bit bland. The mash had no flavor or seasonings so I had to salt it heavily. The chicken pie was good but again, not a lot of flavor. Ambiance was nice. Service was slow and inattentive.

    Located centrally in Edinburgh, Badger & Co provide an excellent facility for a meal. The decor creates a pleasant atmosphere. The service was very pleasant and attentive and provided good suggestions on the menu, which provided a range of excellent dishes with a Scottish theme. Prices were reasonable, considering the Central location in the capital. Overall an excellent experience.

    Wonderful experience. Ambience is upscale yet relaxed. Nooks and crannies give a good vibe. Food perfect for a nice casual bistro meal. Whimsy of the Badger and Toad is endearing. AND when we asked for an accommodation to provide the table with a side salad all around, they made the effort and made us happy! Go - you’ll find a new favorite in New Town!
    Badger & CoResponded on May 20, 2025
    Madge, Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and charm of Badger. It’s great to hear our team was able to accommodate your request and help make your visit memorable. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime—hopefully we’ve earned a spot as your go-to in New Town! Team Badger x
