Try Pomelo, the trendy Edinburgh restaurant locals keep walking past and finally stopping into. Order the chilli and garlic hash browns and share plates at a relaxed lunch.
Full description
Pomelo draws locals and couples with a trendy room, and one passer-by notes it looks appetising every time they walk past. Reviewers praise hash browns covered in chilli and garlic, though experiences vary, with one diner finding the hand-pulled noodles short of expectations.
The reservation setup is strict: the website describes lunch from Wednesday to Sunday as walk-in only, which can mean queuing outside for around ten minutes. It closes on Mondays and has lunch and evening service.
A visit of about 75 minutes suits a relaxed meal with a friend or partner, with booking recommended for dinner.

Reviews
We tried the hand-pulled noodles, the noodles were so long it—it amazed me! Texture was chewy in a good way. The taste however was too salty for my liking. The pomelo fried chicken bao was so good! I love the texture of the bao and the crispiness of the chicken, I would order this again! The service was the best!…
