The Fox and FaunB

101 Shandwick Pl, Edinburgh EH2 4SD · Bar, Restaurant · West End

A lively West End pub for generous Scottish comfort food, friendly vibes, and live music, with occasional service slowdowns and inconsistency.

The verdict

The Fox and Faun delivers reliable pub dining with strong food quality in classic Scottish fare and genuinely friendly service, supported by generous portions and fair pricing. However, quality fluctuates noticeably during busy periods—soggy batter, slow tickets, and crowding issues prevent grade A-level consistency. The convenient West End location and lively quiz/music nights create appealing atmosphere, but this is a solid neighborhood favorite rather than a destination establishment.

One caveat: Kitchen delays during busy periods and events are not uncommon
