Pretty restaurant with lots of room. I had fish 'n chips, the food was good and the portion big. The staff was very nice!

Element was recommended to us and we are glad we tried it out. They were able to seat us without a reservation, which was so helpful. The food was really good and we liked the atmosphere - like a modern pub, but not so loud. We'd recommend to anyone in Edinburgh and we'd definitely eat here again.
