We were seated quickly and talked through the menu. We spoke to most of the staff and they were all very friendly and helpful. The mocktails and cocktails were beautiful. The food was incredible, there was so many things on the menu I wanted it was difficult to pick one! Thank you.

We booked the bottomless brunch which is a great deal with 2 courses and 5 cocktails (mocktails available too). The food was ok, not excellent, but certainly not bad. The place itself wasn't that busy for a Saturday afternoon and is just a standard eatery, nothing out of the ordinary. The staff, however, were fantastic. Really friendly, just the right amount of attentiveness, and brought out the birthday dessert with sparkler for my daughter! I would recommend for a larger party of people for an occasion.

It was a big bill, but we couldn't resist with how good the cocktails were. Very clean and relaxed feeling there. Great seating, which were very comfortable. All round great time I had here. Would definitely come back!

We had an incredible experience at Las Iguanas Edinburgh! From the moment we arrived, Leo made us feel so welcome. His service was absolutely amazing: friendly, attentive, and very accommodating to every request. The food was phenomenal; everything we ordered was bursting with flavour and cooked perfectly. It’s rare to find both such great food and outstanding service in one place, but this restaurant truly delivers. 10/10 overall. highly recommend and will definitely be back!
