    A Toad-ally Scrumptious Experience! A Delightful Dining Experience at Badger & Co! The food at Badger & Co in Edinburgh was truly first class. I had the Spiced Pumpkin Soup with warm crusty bread, followed by the Chicken and Pancetta Pie with fresh vegetables and hickory-smoked mash. For dessert, I enjoyed poached pear with mulled wine syrup, chocolate oat crumble, elderflower sorbet, and fresh berries. Every single course was delicious and easily a stand out in their own right. The staff were lovely and friendly, and the relaxed ambience meant we never felt rushed. The decor is beautiful, like sitting in a manor home but without the pretension. A unique touch was the bill presented inside a copy of "The Wind in the Willows," complete with two bookmarks to keep as a memento. Overall, a truly enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be returning!

    Aloha and happy holidays, We loved our experience at Badger and Co. drinks were delicious, the Gondola Glow made with orange slice instead of a lemon was the bomb, so good. We hard the pearl barley and Rocket salad to start it was delicious. The Chestnut Gnocchi was delicious. Our daughter had the buffalo chicken as her main and it was more than enough . My husband had the steak and haggis pie. Let’s just say the plate was clean. We finished with a wee brownie and the Christmas Pudding and it was fabulous. The mood was festive, service was fabulous and we would definitely come back. We loved that our server was singing Christmas songs as they came on just a few bars of the lyrics but it made it feel all that much more festive. The decor was amazing and we can’t wait to tell our friends about it when we get back to Hawai’i . Thank you for a wonderful meal. The Head Ohana
