Best Scottish Restaurants in Tranent

Relaxed atmosphere, interesting decor & history, helpful staff, good value

Good location. All food was good with a varied menu. Staff were attentive and helpful. The interior of the restaurant is good. I only downgraded the ambiance as we evidently visited on a quiet lunchtime. I’m sure there is a better vibe when busy. I would certainly return.

Had a fabulous meal. The steak pie was delicious and all members of our party enjoyed their meals. The restaurant was cosy and welcoming and the service outstanding. Can’t wait to go back !

Always lovely here the staff are amazing and always fe at home 🩷

My favorite restaurant in Edinburgh. The food is exquisite, artfully prepared, beautifully presented, in appropriate serving sizes, and on artistic dishes. The service is exceptional. After my first visit, I was greeted personally by several of the waitstaff each subsequent visit, remembered for past orders and preferences, and treated as if I was a favored guest. In a major city, along a street frequented by tourists and locals alike, during a busy time of the year, this is quite touching. For comparison, I spent two weeks in Edinburgh, eating out each night. The other restaurants were quite good, along a spectrum from local pubs to Indian chains to high end Italian and French, and none was as perfect all around as Angels. I came back to Angels twice, and I have one more night in town ... I may find myself here again tonight, as a parting gift to myself. Other notes: I dine alone, and the staff welcomed me solo; not all restaurants are able to do that. The sound level is quiet, but the conversations of other diners joyful. The decor subtle and elegant. I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly.
