"One of the best food experiences on my trip. The tasting menu is very well-planned and highlights the ingredients. My top two would be lamb belly and the fish dish. Amazing texture and flavor combination. Worth a visit if you're ever in Edinburgh."

While trying to choose our dining options for a food-focused weekend in Edinburgh, I was slightly hesitant about booking aizle, since I hadn't seen a sample menu. I'm very glad that I didn't let that stop me, because the dishes were all delicious and inventive. All of the flavors were well balanced, the presentation was on point, and we had a tough time choosing our favorite dishes. Service was on a rotating basis, and our table was handled by 3 or 4 different wait staff, with two in particular serving the majority of the dishes. All were extremely friendly and efficient, projecting the impression of true pride and enjoyment in their work. I had read some critical reviews of the hotel-lobby...
Loved this experience. I was made to feel welcome and custom appreciated. Service was on the slow side and it wasn't handled particularly well at the start. I did decide to forego the wine tasting pairing and cheese course as a result. Having said that, the food was spectacular and the wines I did sample were great (thank you for letting me taste from the wine pairing menu for the white great flexibility to make up for the slow start). The seven course is well worth the price and the wait staff were friendly and happy to chat over the dishes and ingredients. The Sake Ginger Grapefruit cocktail I ordered at the start was a revelation as well!
My wife and I went to Aisle for an evening meal on Valentine’s Day. We were reminded how good the food is – just pitch-perfect. Innovative, interestingly presented and amazingly tasty. The staff are well-informed, friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed. It is undoubtedly competitive with the other Michelin-starred in Edinburgh, and we can only assume that the ‘garden-room’ setting has held it back. I imagine that could be improved with a bit of thought and the décor changed a little (for instance, our table for two was quite small). Anyway, this restaurant is outstanding, central and not to be missed!
We had such a great tasting experience at aizle. The menu of ingredients doesn't give too much away so every dish that comes out is a surprise. There were a mixture of finger food and cutlery needing dishes which were served on imaginative plates and added a playful element. Staff were fantastic. Only minor complaint was that we had to move back our plans for afterwards and then cancel as we were at the restaurant for 2 and a half hours which we didn't expect for being a weeknight and only a few other tables there. Food was fabulous and if that's how long it takes to create then fair enough was worth it.
Hidden within the Kimpton hotel in a central garden room Aizle has a laid back european vibe. It only offers a set tasting menu so be bold and go with it, we tried dishes that we would not normally order and were very pleasantly surprised. And eight courses is a lot, even if each course was quite small, we struggled to finish everything. Service was friendly and informative but suggest you give yourselves time, it took four hours.
Extremely disappointed in this restaurant. The staff were surly and obviously couldn’t be bothered being there. Only one member of staff managed to smile. The food was fine but we all agreed that we were still hungry when we left. We have been here before and enjoyed our meal. This time we came with friends and I was embarrassed to have recommended it.
Keen to try Aizle and lucky enough to get a table on Sunday PM. Had to change reservation time at short notice and was easily done. Loveley evening and lived all the courses. Did not have the wine flight but enjoyed the Old fashioned. Favourite course was the Lamb and the layer duck. Lively decor throughout.
We had a fantastic meal and experience. Have been lucky enough to eat at a few nice restaurants with tasting menu and matching wines in the last year and Aizle was easily the best. Menu, which is kept a bit secret, was brilliant and perfectly paced and matching wines were all superb. Really excellent meal.
