Absolutely fantastic experience at Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh!
This was actually my first proper experience eating at Hard Rock Cafe, and I honestly couldn’t have been happier with it. The food was excellent, the portion sizes were generous, the staff were fantastic, and I left feeling like I’d genuinely had great value for money.
I ordered the Spicy Crispy Shrimp starter from the 9 Til Fries menu, and honestly, it has to be one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. It was absolutely incredible and definitely something I would order again!
The server who looked after us was absolutely lovely. She was friendly, attentive and gave us some really great recommendations. Unfortunately, I completely forgot her name, but I remember she had a tattoo on her arm featuring a woman’s figure. She really did make the experience that little bit more enjoyable, so if Hard Rock sees this, please pass on my thanks to her!
The atmosphere was great too. I will say that I found the Edinburgh restaurant a little on the dark side, but personally that didn’t bother me. If anything, it made the experience feel a little more private and relaxed. We had previously visited the Hard Rock Cafe in Tenerife, although only briefly while killing time before our flight home. We’d already eaten at our hotel that day, so we only stopped in for some drinks/juice rather than having a meal. I remember that restaurant being much brighter and having a more open and inviting feel, so the Edinburgh one definitely has a different atmosphere.
Overall, though, I absolutely loved my experience in Edinburgh. The food was fantastic, the portions were great, the staff were brilliant and the whole experience felt like really good value for money.
It was my first time properly eating at Hard Rock Cafe, but it definitely won’t be my last. I’ll absolutely be visiting again in the future
