Menu changed and as always food is delicious. Enough choice not to overwhelm, from the food to wine list to cocktails. Bit disappointed that Guinness no longer served. Service faultless

Based on the children’s classic The Wind and the Willows, the atmosphere was charming yet sophisticated. The wait staff was extremely accommodating and altered menu items to cater to my husband’s gluten allergy. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend.

Excellent food and service. Waiters gave information about the food, they were all chatty and we were given time in between courses. The ambience was wonderful due to the decor and staff. After we went to the secret champagne room which was also lovely.

We celebrated our anniversary at Badger and Co. Really enjoyed it. Made my fave cocktail and the food was amazing. I had chicken and mushroom pie and my husband had the fish and chips. Both excellent. Definitely recommend. We will be back when back in Edinburgh.
