Howies Victoria Street, Restaurant

Howies is my favorite resturant in Edinburgh! It’s a modern take on traditional Scottish gastronomy. Each dish is a culinary masterpiece highlighting seasonal game and vegetables. The service is impeccable, with attention to detail and very friendly and knowledgeable. It’s easy to my a reservation and I’d highly recommend doing so, as the popularity of Howies means unless you reserve a table, you’re unlikely to find a seat.

Lovely venue - booked & had a great table by the window. Wonderful food, prompt service & nice environment. Both had the venison stew, had a couple of cocktails & shared a pud. Would definitely recommend. Best to book as very busy.

Such a cozy Scottish restaurant with a really warm atmosphere. The staff were lovely and welcoming. They patiently explained the menu and gave us great recommendations. I really enjoyed the haggis; it was a delicious taste of traditional Scottish flavour. The grass-fed Scottish beef ribeye (35-day matured) was grilled perfectly to medium rare, just as we ordered, tender and full of flavour. The banoffee pie was also amazing, with just the right amount of sweetness, and everything balanced beautifully. The dessert wine paired so well it might have even outshone the dessert itself! Definitely a place worth coming back to.
