The Waterside Bistro

Excellent food and excellent service from nice staff at reasonable prices

We had a lovely meal. Very large portions and excellent service. We will definitely be back.

Excellent location and service up to the usual high standard. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we will certainly keep returning.

Great place as always - have been coming for years

Un très bel endroit et une bonne cuisine. C'était exactement ce qu'il nous fallait pour notre dernier repas en Ecosse !

Impeccable service, friendly and professional staff, delicious food and beautiful surroundings. A real gem in Haddington.

Very good meal in a lovely setting. Excellent evening overall

Excellent food and service and a very warm welcome very relaxing atmosphere

Lovely welcome and service. Food excellent and plentiful. The setting next to the river is very pleasing.

Beautiful day in beautiful surroundings enjoying delicious food. The lentil and bacon soup, scallops with black pudding and burger were all enjoyed by my companions while I found the pulled pork tacos in bbq sauce with coleslaw and chips absolutely delicious. To finish we scoffed down the cherry clafoutis and the lemon posset with honeycomb shards.

Wonderful food and ambience. Friendly staff . Very efficient. Thank you

A lovely varied menu with different choices instead of the frequent "just burgers and fish and chips"! Excellent meal, and very attentive service.

Lovely meal and great atmosphere, well looked after by great staff as ever, thank you 😊

Absolutely fabulous meal, with fantastic service. Definitely going back there again.

We love it. It's always our choice if going out. But the lamb was tough.

Lovely staff, lovely food, would definitely recommend it. Will definitely return again.

Most wonderful visit!! Had a girls lunch after a wedding dress fitting and they were so sweet and welcoming to us all.

Food was incredible and the service was spot on. Hadn’t visited for a while, but will definitely be back soon.

Great meal with excellent service . Good choice on the menu and the specials board

I have been to The Waterside Bistro many times before. I have always found the staff and service to be excellent and nothing is too much trouble. The food is very tasty and excellent value for money.

Excellent overall, but we were unable to find the car park

the waterside location is the best part, it is really beautiful by the river and the standardly reliable pub food is well presented. Booking was simple and efficient and we had no trouble in getting a table (I booked a few days ahead as we were going to an event in Haddington later). I'd definitely recommend the Waterside Bistro for a pleasant restorative meal and pint

I took my friend for the very first time. We were very early but welcomed with open arms. Staff as always were friendly and professional. Food was the usual very high standard. Although she lives in Edinburgh my friend and her friends will visit again soon. Dave and I will also be back very soon. Thank you. Eileen Black

Very attentive and friendly staff. Lovely food. Would definitely recommend.

Welcoming, excellent service, delicious food. Perfect for a summer evening.

Lovely location. Interesting menu and well cooked food Always busy

Good food, friendly and efficient service, sensible prices, we enjoyed our visit.

The food was great and the main man was very polite. None of the waitresses smiled which took the rating down.

Beautiful setting by the river. Pleasant staff. Food nice. Great wine! Price reasonable.

Wonderful food and outstanding service once again, never disappoints. Always recommend booking.

Enjoyed Al fresco dining here. Started with lamb kofta & haggis fritters followed by a ribeye & fillet. Gorgeous fresh food. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Beautiful setting right beside the water. Dog friendly too. Lemon posset topped a perfect meal ☺️

1st course: mussels fine; 'wild' mushrooms on a 'bruschetta' poor - the bruschetta came as an untoasted piece of white bread, the mushrooms were mainly button mushrooms and the salsa seemed as if it came straight from a bottle, with no hint of the promised oregano (unless it was dried and mixed with the 'salsa'). 2nd course: grilled rainbow trout was a large portion of sea trout, probably oven baked. Puy lentil salad was fine but accompanying vegetables a mixture that didn't work together. No sign of any chervil. Two glasses of wine (Rose from Provence and Prosecco) were left less than half drunk. Pint of the local ale was excellent. Made these points when asked how the meal was and offered a generous discount (refused as we had eaten much of the meal)

Lovely food in a nice atmosphere with great service and good value

It is a wonderful location and reasonable value for money for an area where the food tends to be pricey

Lovely resteraunt in a very picturesque location on the river. Couldn’t fault it.

Loved the food,great menu, value for money, lovely setting,brilliant service, wonderful overall experience. Thank you.

Excellent staff, attentive but not intrusive. Meals served promptly. Food well presented and of excellent quality. There was even a free dessert! (It was my birthday.)
