    The food is always brilliant here, and the portions are massive. The chicken is so tasty and well-cooked; the flavours are intense, with great spice levels. It's lively- not the sort of place you'd go for a quiet meal, but not too loud to have a conversation. Will be back.

    Edinburgh was full of wonderful restaurants - Badger and Co was without a doubt the single best experience we had on our stay. The environment was adorable, the staff were attentive and kind, the food and drinks were exceptional. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

    Hadn't been in years, even started going there in late 90's! Food was lovely and, as a local hospitality group, you know it's not mass produced food etc. Our server was lovely, happy with the optional 13% service charge for him. Will definitely be back on my map.
