El Quijote

Great food and lovely choice of wines. Staff very friendly and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed the amazing food was tasty an very authentic and the service was excellent. I would go back there anytime. Had a wonderful evening.

Always delicious and authentic Spanish food served with a smile. The best calamari ever and the Tarte di Santiago is to die for! Finish your meal with that and a glass of the Pedro Ximinez. Yum!!!

Beautiful food, some of the best tapa I have tasted and delicious wine.... we have been twice now and will be aback again for sure.... reasonable price too for the quality :)

This is an intimate and cosy restaurant that serves great food. Authentic Spanish cuisine that is nicely presented. Staff were lovely too. Great for pre theatre.

Really good, fresh home cooked food. Simple and nicely cooked. Interesting selection of dishes. Very pleasant service and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. I hope to go again!

Best tapas in edinburgh. Fresh, tasty and authentic. It’s also reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and helpful. You really can’t go wrong with El Quijote. If you like authentic Spanish tapas then this place is pretty much perfect.

Great food and very friendly staff. The best Spanish restaurant that you can find in Edinburgh. It's worth a visit (or many more), highly recommended

Excellent auality of food. Service pushed beyond relaxed towards inattentive. Picked up after a slow start.Not unreasonably you should be pretty chilled to get the best out of your visit. But then we all need some of that dont we?

Great food and wine, such a gem of a place, small and cosy so make sure you book! Padron peppers and melted cheese were our favourites

lovely little place, food was very tasty and authentic. Waiter friendly but not imposing. few things not available from the menu but still plenty to choose from. much better than other chain tapas places, this felt like a proper spanish tapas experience.

If you are looking for authentic Spanish and especially local Andalucían cuisine....this is the place for you. Not your typical tapas menus that you see in chains or establishments run by ex-pats but true food that you will see in southern Spain. Chefs and owners are from Andalucía so you can practice your Spanish while you dine on the fabulous food they prepare They also serve true Ibérico Pork. If you haven’t tried the worlds best pork then give it a try!!!

Great authentic food and great attentive service. Would really recommend this as a place to eat. Daily specials are very tasty and again authentic -enjoy!

Love this place. Authentic Spanish food and great service. All of the wines are reasonably priced and taste great. They pace the meal nicely, so you don’t have everything arriving at once, which is great if there’s just the two of you.

The food was very good as usual. We had 6 dishes and all were first class. Cheese x2, cod, iberico pork, ratatouille, mushroom croquettes and a sweet with coffee. The only minor grumble was the restaurant was a little cool. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

This is a small but fantastic restaurant. The food and service is excellent. Wines a are very good and reasonably priced too. Would recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants authentic Spanish food.

Small restaurant about 20 covers, fantastic meal, very nice staff, would definately recommend. Dont be in a hurry though as the food is cooked fresh, probably why its so good. Best olives ever!!

Very quiet! But lovely food and efficient friendly service. Excellent choice of wines by the glass. Mushroom croquettes were very good. Coffee not so good, surprisingly.

Authentic Spanish tapas set in a small and friendly restaurant. Good range of specials and reasonably priced Spanish wines. Staff always welcoming, helpful and attentive - booking advised.

Very authentic feel to the place, staff are lovely and take time explaining the dishes. Food is well presented and tastes wonderful. Will definitely return.

Food quality amazing as always! Highlights the pork cheeks and croquettes. Wine really good variety and the one I chose, from bierzo, really tasty, fruity and easy to drink. Attention from waiter really nice and attentive. Flow incoming food perfect timing and really smooth. Come back again and again, worth every penny you pay in taste and high quality in food and service

The restaurant was busy and only one member of staff to attend to the customers which he did very well. I was disappointed with some of the dishes we picked and accept I should have asked more for tapas size and not larger dishes as I really enjoy sharing dishes. The restaurant is friendly, small, intimate and I am glad it is run independently and not a chain-store business. All the best to El Quijote and its staff.

All of us (3) enjoyed 9 different tapas dishes. All the dishes were very tasty, including cheeses, cod, calamari, padron peppers chorizo and pork cheek stew. Service was very good. Would not hesitate to come here again.

Nice restaurant with attentive service but we were first diners for the evening and it was cold. Also, a little expensive for the quantity of food although the quality was good

A small, intimate Spanish restaurant, with friendly staff and an interesting menu. Good choice of dishes available in various portions. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the choices we made. The wine list was excellent and all from Spanish regions. Good value and most enjoyable.

Excellent food, excellent service. We have not enjoyed better salmorejo outside of Seville (where some of the staff are from), Sancho (ratatouille with chorizo and egg) delightfully seasoned, the calamari was tender, and the tarta de Santiago with cafe con leche was a perfect finish. We will probably come back before we leave Edinburgh, and hope El Quijote will be here when we next return.

Every time we visit this restaurant we are never disappointed. We are greeted by a lovely waiter. The food is lovely. My favourite tapas restaurant.

The food was delicious and the service was great. Overall we had a lovely evening and I would definitely recommend El Quijote for tasty authentic tapas

Really lovely evening. Great food and friendly, helpful waiter - all in the nicest surroundings. Best olives we ever tasted - walked away with an enormous tin that they let us purchase.

Nice friendly unpretentious Spanish restaurant. Tasty food, good value wine with attentive but not overbearing service. Not a place for a special occasion meal but would definitely go again.

Small and kind of unassuming. It doesn’t look like much from the outside but don’t be put off. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. Good choice of tapas or larger plates. Try it you’ll be glad you did.

Great food , lovely wine , staff friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return . Very small and friendly place so recommend booking in advance. Excellent

Really great Tapas - recommended to us by a Spanish friend and now we will definitely go back! Thanks for a great dinner experience! The Presa Inerica was outstanding plus the Croquetas de Seta were the best I have tasted....

Delicious food, very friendly and helpful staff and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Very busy pre-theatre. Had tapas but Looking forward to going back to sample some of the main menu dishes.

Had an excellent meal. We asked the waiter to bring a selection of food of his choice for the 6 of us to share and he did us proud. Every selection was great especially the pork cheeks. Will definitely be back.

Very tasty food and efficient, friendly service. We had a selection of tapas with the patatas bravas and the chorizo apuljarra being particularly good. Keep up the good work.

Amazing food and tapas. Small place but food makes up for it. Get the peppers but everything is delicious. Food is authentic and staff very nice

Yummy food and lovely service, considering it was Monday and seafood will be available tomorrow. Best patatas bravas ever and delicious wine. Mushroom crocketas were delicious!

Fantastic, creative food and really friendly staff. We had a mixture of antipasti (fish balls) & first plate (shrimp and courgette flower risotto), and first plate (vongole/prawn pasta with courgette cream) and second plate (pistachio crusted swordfish). All were delicious and cooked perfectly. The owner kindly helped us negotiate the wine menu and humoured my attempts at speaking basic Italian.

Lovely meal in this restaurant . Will be back. Fresh and tasty selection of tapas. Second time with friends and a really authentic Spanish food experience.
