We ate here while staying in Edinburgh for an overnight and was absolutely blown away by the food and service. We got nachos to start which were some of the best iv had anywhere, massive portion to share, but the star of the show was the feather blade of beef. Slow cooked to perfection with a nicely browned outer. It only required a fork to pull the meat apart, the jus was packed with flavour and reduced down to a perfect viscosity, unlike most places they weren't shy with it either, covering the whole plate. The mash was incredibly smooth and the veg was immaculate as well. The Kids were happy with their meals as well. Service is relaxed and friendly with attentive staff and a warm atmosphere. I will be making the drive through from Glasgow to eat here as often as possible from now on. Well done and thank you to everyone involved at the Balerno Inn

A few months ago, my wife and I decided to try this place based on the excellent reviews we found on TripAdvisor. Opting for a booth, we were pleased with the authentically designed inn that seamlessly blended traditional and modern elements. The staff demonstrated professionalism, and the overall service was commendable.The menu impressed me, offering a mix of classic pub dishes and more adventurous options for those with experimental tastes. Intrigued by the buzz around the steak pies, I ordered one for my main course, while my wife opted for the classic fish and chips. For starters, we ventured into more unusual choices, sharing the baked pretzel with aioli dip, confit duck bao buns, and haggis bon bons with sweet chili dip.To my delight, the starters outshone the mains. The pretzel was soft and paired perfectly with the dip, the bao buns were a delightful fusion of flavor and texture, and the bon bons were enjoyable. While the Balerno Inn pie was decent, it didn't quite meet my elevated expectations. The flavor was okay, the hand-cut chips were nice, and the vegetables were standard. My wife enjoyed her fish and chips, but the exceptional starters set a high bar. Despite this, a fair rating of 4 stars seems fitting. Though slightly pricey, it's the norm these days. I'd be open to returning for another dining experience.

The atmosphere was great-casual and convivial. The service was excellent. The food and cocktails were incredible. It was my first trip to Scotland, and I went to The Balerno Inn for a low- key Burns Night dinner. I had their Haggis Bon Bons, Cullen Skink and a Gin cocktail. All were simply delicious. On my next trip to Scotland, I would like to make a point of going back to stay at the Inn and try the Fish & Chips, which were voted as some of the best in Edinburgh.
