Slip into Noto on Thistle Street, a Bib Gourmand restaurant tucked into New Town. Share inventive small plates, sip a signature cocktail, and choose between the dining room and the bar.
Full description
Noto sits on Thistle Street in Edinburgh's New Town in a compact, foliage-trimmed space split between a dining room and a bar, both with a homey feel. The menu centres on snacks and small plates with interesting flavours and textures, plus wine and signature cocktails, and reviewers mention a midday tasting menu that fills you up despite the small portions.
It carries a Michelin Bib Gourmand, though opinions vary, with one diner critiquing individual dishes. A mid-range price, booking recommended and a 75-minute visit make it a good option for a couple at lunch or an early dinner.

Fantastic experience ! The service is exceptional and the food is brilliant! The cocktails were superb and we would definitely come back. We enjoyed sitting at the bar it’s a bit quieter and we got to see them making all the drinks. We had the Martini and Forest for drinks. Our favourites were the crab, beef…
