Reviews of Filmhouse (88 Lothian Road, Edinburgh)

5. W Greenhill, Edinburgh – 18 September 2011, 4:03pm5 starsFilmhouseReport

Amazing cinema with a huge variety of inspiring films. Have never been to one quite like it. Delicious food with great bar and very welcoming staff.

4. Chrissss, Edinburgh – 25 May 2010, 9:05pmFilmhouseReport

hmm ... vegetarian option in non strictly vegetarian place ? They using same knifes and chopping boards to cut meat. It's one big joke in my opinion.

3. dress up doll, edinburgh – 7 April 2010, 11:13pm5 starsFilmhouseReport

One of the best places in Edinburgh for people watching and sitting relaxing. You can stay in here for hours eating, drinking, chatting, seeing a film, more drinks and chatting afterwards...
You really do see all types of people in here - I've even seen two men knitting whilst they had a pint! This is the best place in Edinburgh to see a film and the best cinema bar I've ever been to (although casa del cinema in Rome came a close second but then again it is hot and sunny there and you can sit outside). I've been coming here since I was a teenager and it is still one of my favourite places. It caters for everyone and makes you feel valued as a customer and included, if that makes sense.

2. Lizzie D19 March 2010, 4:03pm4 starsFilmhouseReport

Good coffee & cake! Makes a nice change from samey coffee chains. Haven't been here for food yet, but impressed by their veggie options!

1. Lulu, Edinburgh – 6 November 2008, 11:15am3 starsFilmhouseReport

It's not exactly fine dining, but for a bustling cafe the food is surprisingly good. The chickpea curry has great flavour and was served with perfect portions of hearty rice and nan. Equally good, the stilton nuggets were flavourful but not too rich. Service is quick and with a smile. I wouldn't go there especially for the food, but it offers a good tasty bite before a movie.
