    A great place to eat in Edinburgh. We came up for a few nights and this restaurant was one of our highlights. The food is exceptional and the ambience is relaxed. I felt like I was eating at a friend/ family house. Would recommend to everyone.

    Booked for a group of 8, very easy to book and organise online. Excellent ambience to the venue on arrival, very friendly staff and the design of the interior was immaculate. Sat down and was able to converse with one another, with no background noise. We all got the Sunday roast and this was delightful, fantastic portion sizes and great serving speed. Would highly recommend and definitely will be coming along again!

    The ox cheek was superb, but rather small. The place is very cozy and service was great. Drinks were also good and fairly priced.

    This was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We were welcomed warmly and seated right away. The chicken and mushroom pie was truly delicious. The pastry was buttery and the filling well seasoned. One of our party had the ox cheeks and raved about it. The Christmas pudding and brandy sauce really put a nice coda on the evening. My wife had the deconstructed cheese cake, after some hesitation, and declared it the best cheesecake she had ever eaten. We we all very pleased and look forward to returning.

    A Toad-ally Scrumptious Experience! A Delightful Dining Experience at Badger & Co! The food at Badger & Co in Edinburgh was truly first class. I had the Spiced Pumpkin Soup with warm crusty bread, followed by the Chicken and Pancetta Pie with fresh vegetables and hickory-smoked mash. For dessert, I enjoyed poached pear with mulled wine syrup, chocolate oat crumble, elderflower sorbet, and fresh berries. Every single course was delicious and easily a stand out in their own right. The staff were lovely and friendly, and the relaxed ambience meant we never felt rushed. The decor is beautiful, like sitting in a manor home but without the pretension. A unique touch was the bill presented inside a copy of "The Wind in the Willows," complete with two bookmarks to keep as a memento. Overall, a truly enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be returning!

    Kenny, Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed every course – the Spiced Pumpkin Soup and Chicken and Pancetta Pie definitely have a way of winning hearts! It’s also great to know the staff, ambience, and little touches like the "Wind in the Willows" bill made your experience extra special. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another toad-ally scrumptious time! Team Badger 🦡
