This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Set into a relatively snug pair of rooms on a side street off Stockbridge’s main drag, this modern but lived-in bar feels like a bit of a nook, a welcome discovery when you find it. It’s a proper local for the diverse clientele of Stockbridge and particularly those with an interest in Six Nations rugby or big football tournaments, which are shown religiously on the big screen, while the food is a step up from regular pub ballast. Starters of tempura prawns or black pudding and smoked bacon salad, and mains including smoked haddock fillet on mash or a home-made pie of the day are made with efficiency, although the food isn’t quite as central to Avoca’s style as its sister venue the Orchard.
- High point: A welcoming and lively pub for sports fans
- Low point: The seats at the back are a little close to the toilet doors

Excellent food for a bar, and attentive service. One of the tastyest, no-fuss meals I have had in a while. Must go there more often.

My work mates & I went to Avoca in Edinburgh for lunch on the 7th May 2008 and we thought the food was fantastic. I know we will go back there several times as we all want to try all the other dishes. We also wish to get our teeth into the deserts. Thanks for a lovely lunch. WWP
