A must try in Edinburgh ! A great restaurant in the heart of the city. They have a great selection of whiskeys. The drinks selection are amazing. The food is amazing. We had the ribey, flat Iron, Venison & the COD. The meats were cooked to perfection. My only downside is the COD, although it eas cooked very well but it was a soup, I prefer if they reduce it and make it as a sauce. The staff are great. They are very friendly and helpful one of the best services I had. I do recommend to book in advance as I did not have a booking and we waited for around an hour at the bar.

Great place for a drink. Incredible atmosphere. They have lots of libations and you can go on a Scottish Road Trip with their flights. The food was not as good as I hoped and they said they were out of deserts even though we were the earliest reservation of the night. They also overcharged me $20, but thankfully I noticed. I would come for a drink and skip the food.

The Devil's Advocate is an atmospheric and delightful restaurant and whiskey bar in Edinburgh, located - fittingly - in Advocate's close in Old Town. The close itself is charming and well signed for wayfinding, both approaches to the Devil's Advocate from above and below the close (alley) lead to the landing where the DA is and opens nicely as you're greeted with massive black lacquered doors branded with the spots name and Crow. The food was amazing - We had the falalfel starter which was absolutely delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and arrived with the best tomatoes i've ever tast

Very nice decorated establishment, very friendly staff. We had a great seating upstairs. The choice was plenty and the food was great! Our reservation was a bit late in the evening, so not everything on the menu was available and they were very sorry to inform us the Guinness was no longer available. But other then that we had a great time. As dessert I had a nice whisky tasting brought to the table by a staffmember with knowledge about the different glasses. Had a great time here, can recommend it!
