The Wee Restaurant

Came here for our 31 wedding anniversary, the wife found it online.

Parking is not the easiest outside, we managed to get a place outside a shut down pub. You may have to go round the corner, to find a place.

On entering, to the left are tables on ground floor level and to the right, you go up a number of steps to the tables. So if you are in a wheelchair or have difficulty walking, you can use the seating on the left.

Wife went for a steak and I went for the pork. And without doubt, they were both very good. Full of flavour and portion size was just right. Sides we went for jersey potatoes and asparagus & nuts. Again both were plenty full and tasted really nice. There is enough in both bowls, to share between us.

Had a nice chat with one of the owners and she told us she had been there a number of years (I won’t say how many 😉).

Would I go again?

Definitely would go again

We received a voucher as a Christmas present to eat at this restaurant and as we had never eaten here before were unsure of what to expect. We need not of worried! What a gem of a place. The food that we ordered was just sublime. Everything that came to the table was cooked to perfection. In fact, I would go as far as to say it was the best meal we have had at that level of cuisine. Better than The Peat Inn, better than The Kitchen and the meal as a whole better than 21212 (whilst it was open). The servers were polite, prompt and well presented. The dining area was spotless, warm and inviting. I can say wholeheartedly, it was the best meal we have ever had, if you want to treat that special person in your life to a special meal then this is the place. It's better to pre-book to guarantee a table, you won't be disappointed. The menu does change depending on the time of the year, so check regularly. The Wee Restaurant is set in the picturesque village of North Queensferry with on street parking outside the restaurant.

My wife and I visited the Wee Restaurant last Saturday at 7:30 for the first time, and the overall experience was excellent. I had the scallops to start and the lemon sole main, Eileen had the ribeye, and we both had the lovely hot-to-the-end skin-on fries as a side. If you visit, make sure to take advantage of the sourdough bread; it is superb. It is small, and when busy, it can get a tad noisy due to the intimate surroundings. Our waiter was efficient and friendly. The only negative thing I want to add is that when you go in, there are two small sets of steps to choose from, so I went up one and immediately stood amongst several diners with no staff around. At this point, I backed off, thinking I had made a mistake and went up to the other set. Again, we had the same scenario; we got spotted by a waitress, and she showed us to our table. I know it is wee, but a waiting point for new visitors or even a buzzer in the back to let them know someone has just arrived would be good. That aside, I would highly recommend the wee restaurant and its fine dining.

Wow. Even the walk to and from this restaurant is lovely. My partner and I received a warm and friendly welcome, and were given the option of where we wanted to be seated. The service only continued to improve from there.

During our visit, we were never left waiting for food or drinks. The menu was stunning and we ended up having 3 courses of delicious, beautifully presented food! Even the side dishes (truffle & Parmesan fries and chilli and garlic beans) were amazing! My fillet steak was cooked to perfection.

The cocktails were so impressive and delicious. Highly recommend the Mango and Chilli Margarita and the Lemon Meringue Pie. We also had the Pinot Noir which was wonderful. The pricing is so reasonable considering the beautiful quality! The portions were also very generous in my opinion.

This is such a beautiful little restaurant. The food and drinks were absolutely fantastic and the service was second to none. My partner and I enjoy dining around the world and this is by far the best meal we’ve both had in a long time!

We cannot wait to go back and sample more of the menu ❤ Thank you for a lovely experience.

The service, presentation and taste - absolutely first class and without a fault.

For starters we had Iberico Ham with rocket and sourdough special and Scallops with Black pudding. Loved the ham, light, tasty and great combination. The scallops were THE BEST ever had and the black pudding was sooooo tasty and unbelievablysmooth.

Mains were Halibut and Venison from the menu and again, wow the combination of flavours were soooo delicious.

Lastly, we had apple Tarte tatin and Ile Flotante with creme anglais and rhubarb..... Wow, deserts were soooo light and perfect end to a meal.

See pictures ....

Will definitely be back for another special occasion.

Thank you.

We have been looking forward to visiting the restaurant for a while now. It was worth waiting for. Great experience from entering a small two room split tier setup. Loved the food and the the service. Lobster to share as a starter. Mains of 32 day aged black isle Ribeye Steak and Kirriemuir Venison. Iain Mellis Cheese board and Creme Brulee to finish. All 10/10. They also do mouth watering cocktails.

We had an excellent experience at the Wee Restaurant! Ethan was our waiter and took great care of us, giving us recommendations for our future hike, and very attentive throughout the dinner. We loved all of the food, especially a perfect Affogato!

What an amazing restaurant just across the Forth, in Fife. We had the festive menu and every dish we had was just fantastic. Service is great, staff is very friendly. The place is rather small and cozy so booking a table might be challenging. But definitely worth the wait.

We do enjoy the Wee Restaurant in N Queensferry. Just a short hop on the train from Edinburgh and then a wee walk to the waterfront.

Restaurant is calm and unpretentious. Good range of clientele when we were there. Sign its for everyone.

Food is wholesome and flavourable. No doubt something for everyone. Meat, fish and veggie look like they are catered for. Desserts for me have always been a winner.

Good range of specials - including cocktails!

Staff are friendly and unfussy.

Get the feeling we will be back again.

Lovely wee gem of a place just below the bridge. I had a fantastic meal with my partner. The food was cooked well and the atmosphere was ideal for me. I also enjoy the service. Will be back.

Absolutely incredible little restaurant! Decor was lovely, food was possibly the best meal out I’ve ever had. My wife said the crème brûlée was the best she’s ever had (and she does always eat it at a restaurant). Mussels were really amazing. Couldn’t recommend more
(Edit) just to add that my wife had 0% gin and Prosecco and was very impressed with both.

Went here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon, shared the scallops for starters with some sourdough bread. My partner then had the ribye steak & I had the lamb. Everything was cooked perfectly, food was delicious & the woman serving us was lovely. We were both too full for a dessert but had a nice latte to finish off with.

Nice quiet wee restaurant, pleasant atmosphere & beautiful location, we'll definitely be back

I had an absolutely fantastic experience here! My server (Ethan if I remember correctly) was very friendly, welcoming and attentive. I cannot put into words how DELICIOUS my meal was. I had the ribeye steak with a beautiful peppercorn sauce, followed by the home-made sorbet sundae, both were absolutely 10/10.
It’s a cosy restaurant with a homely atmosphere, would absolutely recommend to anyone thinking about visiting!

Excellent choices on the menu, spoilt for choice. The mussels were delicious, amazing creamy sauce. We had cod for the main course with very tasty sea veggies, unusual and the sides were delicious.
We tried the non alcoholic gin with ginger ale, lovely. Highly recommend and we will be back. Thanks

Visited this lovely restaurant for lunch. The food was delicious, everything everyone ate was top notch. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. It is expensive however definitely an experience and worth visiting!! Nice location too with a great view of the bridge around the corner

Lovely family owned Restaurant.
The steaks are to die for absolutely fantastic.

First time at The Wee Restaurant and loved it. We had the place to ourselves as Jan is a quiet month. Food was amazing. Loved the scallops and halibut. Good size of halibut! Waiter Ethan was helpful, chatty and happy. Chef & waiter even came out to wish me a happy birthday, and sang! We all had a lovely evening. Thank you. Will recommend to friends and family.

Highly recommended!
Wow, wow, wow what can I say except wow! Delicious meal could not fault one little bit. I have been to this restaurant a couple of times before and was very impressed but tonight I'm blown away! My partner and I have already booked a table for a night in a month when we were leaving ❤

Absolutely wonderful meal here. We had scallops and calamari to start and for mains we had a t-bone and a full lobster. Everything was absolutely incredible. Everything was perfectly cooked and so tasty. We also had some desserts (rhubarb crumble and tarts tatin) which were excellent too. Can’t wait to come back again another time.
