Reviews - Foundry 39

Pizza, Burgers, Beer

Reviews summary

Foundry 39 is praised for its warm, convivial atmosphere and polished service. Guests regularly highlight friendly, attentive staff, a modern industrial interior with comfortable seating, and standout cocktails — including theatrical smoked-cloche presentations — alongside a menu of burgers, pizzas, salads and small plates. The venue works well for everything from weekday dinners and brunch to group gatherings and wedding welcome parties, and many reviewers note good value deals and dog-friendly hospitality. A minority of visits flagged problems: an isolated undercooked chicken incident and occasional unexplained extras on bills, so most diners recommend checking orders and receipts, but overall the place earns consistent applause for food, drinks and vibe.

Visited here whilst I was in Edinburgh and had a great experience. The food was fantastic and the beer was fresh and cold. The service was efficient and friendly! Thank you to Lewis and the team for making me feel so welcome, I’ll be returning on my next visit to Edinburgh!

Great food, great pint, great staff. The guy serving (Lewis I think his name was) was very knowledgeable and helpful. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Edinburgh.

Warm and pleasant atmosphere during a rainy Edinburgh day. I ordered a hot tea and small chips and enjoyed a peaceful time reading A lot of the seating has outlets to charge your phone or laptop which was lovely! The staff were also very attentive and made sure everything tasted good Which it did!

Our wedding welcome party at Foundry 39 was absolutely fantastic! The beautiful venue, delicious food and drinks, all contributed to an unforgettable experience. Lewis’s excellent communication and friendliness made the booking process seamless even from oversea. Tyler, Jen, and Nick took great care of our big group! The pub quiz added extra fun, and the compliments from our guests were endless. Foundry 39 left us with a fantastic impression, and we’re incredibly grateful for hosting our special celebration. Many thanks to the outstanding team!

I always feel very warmly welcomed at this restaurant. We had made a reservation in advance and were seated at a lovely comfortable table. The food was delicious, especially the small sharing plates. We also enjoyed a couple of really good cocktails at a very reasonable price. We definitely hope to return again soon and appreciate that F39 is dog-friendly.

The food and drinks are delicious, and the ambiance is lovely. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. Unfortunately, we were surprised to find extra charges on our bill, totaling more than 15% of the total amount, without any explanation given.
