New Chapter draws warm praise for inventive, chef-led cooking, an intimate dining room and a well-curated wine list. Many guests call it one of their best meals in Edinburgh — generous tasting portions, confident seafood and meat dishes, thoughtful service and the convenience of two private dining rooms make it a go-to for birthdays and special evenings.

We came to dinner and we loved it absolutely. eating is delicious, I recomend the scallops and the steak. the steak was cooked to perfection! my friends had the dumbest and they loved it too. the service is a very friendly staff that treats us like a royal treatment. I just loved it. I'm 100% again. many thanks to the team there and well made to the cook.
A lunch for my wife's birthday. aga was professional, friendly and friendly. it is a credit to the place. eating was simply wonderful and the chefs had much annoyed about what was a lunch set menu.
We made it to new chapter last night after we heard great things about the restaurant. young we were happy that we, eating was amazing, I chose the Scotch egg starter, this bore no similarity with the super market picnic food, it was luscious with the egg still soft and surrounded by points of the inherited purée, fresh heaps and pea shoots, I was in the sky. it followed the pork press that I had many paintings this cut, but this was beautifully presented with a slowly boiled pork and baby beet, delicious. the personal was attentive and friendly, the other diners were a real baptism, which meant high deck that conversation was possible. all in all a winner, we will be back
A fantastic restaurant with excellent service and even better eating! the small walk from the city center is worth definitiw. the set menu had fish, meat.
New kapitel has caught my attention after I was on top ten on trip advisor only months after the opening in the oktober last year. that and the fact that it is open for my early january birthday, made it the perfect place to celebrate to become a little older. I was with the man and his family. the man is quite used to my taste and good to the kind of kitchen that would appeal to me for a special occasion; his family not so much and I was filled with shame as his mother scornful went through the menu trying to find something she would enjoy. I've eaten with the family of the man, and I know they enjoy eating, so I think it's a failure of the menu that it is not accessible. the benming always blooming and garnish can appeal to some, but for others it is overcomplicated and it is necessary to find a balance between the two. we start with the starters and I go for venison sour wort pithvier. the venison was underheated and incredibly dry, to the happiness the sourded a little moisturizing and so saved the whole dish, but the aromen were quite not clear, except the garnitur of plastered mushrooms I thoroughly enjoyed. for the largest part we chose a fish dish for our main,- sea trout, smoked muddles, petersilien and coast herbs. where the starter fell, the main recording is getting back. the dish is rich and creamy, and each element adds the complexity of the taste as a whole, without disturbing. the concept is now an old one, and it would be deceptive if it had not worked, as it would essentially pay with this place. I enjoyed my meal in new chapter, although I do not agree with it is stellar status under the hierarchy of edinburgh eateries. it is top ten position is just a flash in the pan of hot popularity, and in time it will be plated in the upper half of the middle stage where it belongs. and that is where it belongs, the dishes can be plated with a michelin star in understood, and the venue and the supporting media has the clean lines and empty slate look of fine but eat the team has a long gone to go if that is their real aim. at the end, although it was a beautiful meal, and cheap (at the moment I would not be surprised to see their prices slowly rise) and the man’s mother found something they enjoyed and that is the most important.

We had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant in Edinburgh! The food was delicious, and we loved the atmosphere and service. The portions were generous, so make sure to come hungry! The non-alcoholic cocktails were amazing, especially the Earl Grey one. We highly recommend this place and they also offer gluten-free options. Thank you for a wonderful meal!
We have visited New Chapter around 4-5 times since they opened in 2015, and it continues to impress us every time. This was our first time trying the tasting menu, which we found to be a great deal. Our favorite dishes were the smoked trout and the North Sea Cod!
New Chapter is conveniently located just a quick walk from the heart of Edinburgh. The cuisine was delicious, with a great variety of wines to choose from. The staff were friendly and well-informed. The tasting menu was a great deal, with generous portion sizes. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be returning in the future.
From start to finish one of the very best meals I’ve ever had. Staff were great and I’m still trying to get over the food. Absolutely incredible. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Wow, go here if you can. Solo traveler from California. One of the best meals of my life. I got the pig cheeks as the main and the combination of flavors was to die for, with the endive and magical sauce. Who is this chef?. Side of greens also incredibly tasty. Cute and charming place and friendly service. Sleek, but casual and unpretentious at the same time. Would go back in a heartbeat. Also, I managed to get a reservation just a few hours before the time on a Friday night. And they didn’t seem particularly busy. Incomprehensible.
