We were visiting Edinburgh and made a reservation several weeks in advance to dine at Number One on our last night, as we were staying at the Balmoral Hotel. We arrived and were seated on time and it was all downhill from there. We were given a wine list and menus. After dining at top restaurants, including Per Se and... More

Booked for a birthday, service was excellent, they were able to change one if the tasting menu courses for me at no extra cost and its one of the best dinners that I have had. Thank you so much for a lovely night!

This restaurant in set in the basement of the Balmoral Hotel. There are no windows and it feels quite dark. I could only get a booking for 9.30 but what I wasn't told when reserving is that the last order for the tasting menu is 9pm. What I like about tasting menus is that they match the wines. We went...

Following recommendations from Tripadvisor contributors we booked the Number One for our last evening meal of our Edinburgh weekend. Nothing like saving the best to last!

We went for Dinner and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The menu offered a good choice, the atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were extremely efficient.

All courses were excellent, service faultless and a truly exceptional experience.

Number One may be part of the Balmoral Hotel, but really it is about as far away from typical hotel dining as you can get. Before you even get to the restaurant there is lovely candlelit bar area decked out in old school Scottish style furniture. It could look a little dated, but it kind of works, maybe because being...

My wife and I stayed at the Balmoral for a couple of nights on her 40th birthday and booked in the Number 1 for dinner on our second night. We both opted for the taster menu with wine selection and cheeses. Everything was perfect from the service to the dining room. I was particularly impressed by the wine choices which... More

Enjoyed the tasting menu with my husband great service second to none. The food was adventurous and delivered with a glass of wine which was an excellent compliment. The Resturant is very comfortable both for the meal and cocktails before. Excellent for special events
