Nestled at the entrance of Calton Hill, Platz Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with a Scottish twist. The menu boasts high-quality, delicious dishes, including vegan options. Patrons rave about the beautifully presented meals, featuring standouts like the pan-roasted salmon and sticky toffee pudding. The restaurant's stunning interior, with its high ceilings, creates a warm atmosphere, complemented by attentive and friendly staff. While not the cheapest option, the quality of food and service makes it well worth the price. For those seeking a memorable culinary journey in Edinburgh, Platz comes highly recommended.

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant. The food is of high quality and very tasty, with vegan options available. The desserts are especially delicious and I highly recommend trying them. They offer a soup of the day and fish of the day, always made with fresh ingredients. The interior of the restaurant is well-furnished and the staff is helpful and friendly. Every time I have dined here, I have left extremely satisfied and happy with my meal. Although it is not the most affordable place, I believe it is worth it!

The restaurant is conveniently located at the entrance to Calton Hill, in a beautiful building with an impressive interior dining room. The room has a high ceiling, creating a great atmosphere. Be sure to request a table in the dining room for the full experience, as there are only a few tables in the lobby area. The menu offered a variety of interesting options, making it difficult to choose. The specials were generous in portion size. All the dishes we ordered were beautifully presented and expertly prepared. The service was attentive, professional, and friendly. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience and even left the largest tip of our holiday. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic dinner with delicious appetizers and a stunning main course. The staff were extremely helpful, offering to call a taxi for us if we needed a local number. The only downside is that we were just visiting Edinburgh, otherwise we would definitely book another table there soon!

A fantastic place to dine! Excellent value and the staff are always friendly and efficient. It's also very convenient for The Playhouse. It’s our top choice every time.
