"We went to Howie 's for the second time last Sunday, after I ran the Edinburgh marathon. Having eaten there once before and really enjoyed it, I purposely selected Howie 's as the place I wanted to go to after the race. The restaurant is in a fab location and the building premises are really inspiring. The food was excellent! I 'm gluten-free and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We started with traditional foods: I had the cullen skink and my husband had the haggis, needs and tatties. He also had half lobster for the main course and that looked really delicious. We didn 't get round to dessert because we were really full. My husband had also bought a special bottle of champagne to celebrate my finish and the restaurant were more than happy to serve that up to us. We did pay £5.50 corkage, but we both thought that was really reasonable. The staff are really warm and friendly and are happy to chat with you. You don 't feel as though you 're being rushed. Whilst there, we were treated to someone (another diner) 'addressing the haggis ' Burns style for some German tourists. It wasn 't Burns Night, I know, but it was fun to watch and gave us some added entertainment. I wouldn 't hesitate to go back there again. Indeed, I might visit Edinburgh JUST to go back there. Excellent value"
