About The Magnum Restaurant & Bar

For great food and wine and an old-fashioned good time, you can't go wrong with this delightful and traditional restaurant in Albany Street, Edinburgh. As you enter the dark, seductive dining room – filled with candles and tall palms – it will be a case of love at first sight and we guarantee you'll want to curl up in a corner and stay forever. The cosmopolitan crowd love the cosy, comfortable vibe, and we love the walls decorated with whisky-inspired poetry from a local writer. Signature dishes at The Magnum Restaurant include the rib-eye steak served with pink fir fries; the venison burger with chips cooked in delicious, salty beef dripping; and the tempura Peterhead haddock with lemon tartare and a green pea puree.

The Magnum, Edinburgh. After a gap of almost two years, we recently returned to The Magnum on a Tuesday night with a large group of work colleagues. As last time, the food we picked from a varied menu was well presented & delicious - the guinea fowl and lamb were particularly popular mains with our party. There was a lovely but quiet atmosphere, and the friendly service coped well with a large party despite a busy restaurant during the Festival. I look forward to returning.
