Hungry !!!
After a walk around we were absolutely starving and came in for a bite and to escape the cold
Well!!!!
The fish and chips was so so so good!!! Like really good.
And the Mac and cheese was just what I - as a cheese love freak - needed on a cold day.
Wine and a beer and the total bill was £35 super impressed!!!!
Rob, Kevin and Evelyn were all lovely - big smiles and made us feel like we could really relax and enjoy our drinks.

Last week we headed out for some dinner and the cinema, we were going to the Omni Center so we decided to try The Conan Doyle for dinner.
None of us had been before but it looked really nice inside; it has a very British feel about it, as it is a cosy pub. We hadn't booked a table but it didn't take us long to be seated. The menu looked good, which made deciding on our meals difficult. In the end I chose the haggis, neeps and tatties. This is not a dish that I normal choose when eating out but it felt like the perfect setting for a classic Scottish meal. Fish and chips, salmon and balmoral chicken were the other meals that were decided on, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food.
The only let down for me was the service. It wasn't friendly or welcoming at all. Our waiter did seem quite stressed which could have been a contributing factor, but it still put a dampener on our experience.
I would definitely go back again as I enjoyed the food but I would be keeping my fingers crossed for better service!
Good place for lunch. Nice and clean traditional type bar surrounding, well mannered and attentive staff, good menu choice with reasonable pricing. Food was good and hit the spot.
I loved the decor! I was reading Sherlock Holmes and that's why we stopped in this bar and I loved the way it was decorated and furnished. Very quaint!
I enjoyed the food, it was good and well served! I don't know why, but I always look forward to trying the chips in a pub like this, and I was disappointed, they were kind of bland actually.
However, I have to say though that the service was lacking - perhaps not the fault of the staff, but it felt understaffed because it took a while for the waiter to come ask for our order, and therefore it took a while for us to get the food.
Very old 18th centurian pub that gives the perfect Conan Doyle vibe (as the name suggests).
Really well maintained. Great Scottish food. Not very pocket friendly 🙃. Great service ✨. Very friendly staff. A little waiting time doesn't cause much harm. 😋
I went there on a Sunday afternoon, but no reservation needed.
P.S. As a non drinker, I think I will recommend this restaurant anyway just for the vibe, and authentic scottish food. May not be your regular go to place for meal but occasional rich scott food date will not make your pockets cry (hopefully 😅).
Doyle has history and charm. Stepping into the pub is stepping back in time. The service is a bit too casual if your time is pressed. If not, the beer and Scotch offerings are good, the pies excellent and the sticky toffee top shelf. It does get crowded and the dining area is small.
Excellent place for a tourist to eat a dinner. Fish & chips, steak pies and other dishes are great. It was so good we ate here two days in a row.
Was in Edinburgh for 3 nights and this was by far my favourite meal. My friend and I had dinner and it was an amazing experience. I have allergies and they took that very seriously, doing a clean in the kitchen before preparing my food. The service was amazing, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing! Thank you!!
Great pub with a good range and quality of food and beverages. It's situated close to the new tram line, bus stops, the main theatres and retail centre.
It has a cozy vibe at night and plenty of sports on the tv (if that's your jam).
Food wise you can pick a tasty pie or burger, or perhaps some salmon or other dishes (the fish is popular so if you're arriving after 7pm you may be disappointed).
Wise range of local and imported beers, wines and spirits, and naturally there's a few cocktails and tasty deserts on offer.
A very interesting pub. I did not have a meal here, so I cannot comment on the food. I did like the atmosphere and decoration of the place.
Great atmosphere and they were fantastic in helping us around a dairy allergy. (Limited menu for dairy allergies, but they made excellent suggestions!)
Great place to have food and drinks! Delicious pies, highly recommended to visit! We visited midday so there was no need to make a reservation!
Ate here one evening during the Fringe. There is a good choice of starters and mains on the menu, and good beers also. The steak pie was hearty with lots of beefy filling and nice crisp pastry. The fish pie was also good and satisfying with a mashed potato topping.The pub is close to a statue of Sherlock Holmes, and is named after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the detective stories featuring Sherlock.
Friendly staff . It was a popular Saturday when other pubs were short on staff due to the Queen's passing, but they welcomed me as a solo tourist traveler and I had a seat at the window. The Toad in the Hole was delicious. Not knowing local ales, the bar keep recommended a dark beer, and it was perfect. Will definitely be back.
Great theming and food and drinks. Though the themes are mostly surface level. Still worth the visit! Lots of great traditional Scottish food!
Cozy pub in the heart of Edinburgh. The food was amazing and I can’t recommend the haggis dish enough. There’s a wide variety of drinks and attentive members of staff. Shoutout to Hana who’s extranet professional and friendly! Though it can be quite crowded during Fridays and Saturdays so booking in advance for food would be ideal.
Though we were in the City from the boonies the costs of alcoholic drinks came as a nasty surprise 😳. The food, however, was fairly priced, well presented and plentiful. Service was friendly and professional. The ambience is very nice and does sort of reflect a Victorian atmosphere.
