About Howies Restaurant - Alva Street

Named after its address, there’s no excuse for not finding this sophisticated stone-floored “cellar” restaurant. A reception desk leads to a smart lounge area off which is a long room divided into cosy booths. The Gaudiesque space then opens up into a maze of plush purple and chocolate brown-coloured sections and rooms, culminating in a small plant-filled conservatory. Menus change monthly and punch well above their weight in terms of presentation and quality. Superb seasonal dishes such as the bestselling filo basket of spicy haggis, and chargrilled chicken in peppercorn sauce are all the more impressive for their low prices. As much as possible - desserts and warm crusty bread included - is made on the premise. Very popular with West End professionals. Fine food and atmosphere, without the faff.

Please be aware there may be a time limit on your table for Friday & Saturday bookings.

A credit card is required for bookings of 8 or more people. A deposit of £5.00 per person will be taken and will be kept if the booking is cancelled less than 7 days in advance.

Opening hours:
Mon - Sun 12pm - 3pm & 5:30pm - 10pm

Review

Howies in Alva street is a real little gem, tucked in on a quiet street in the town centre. I have been here many time for various occasions and never once been disapointed. The food is real value for money with an excelent choice of menu. Perfect for a meet with friends for a quick bite to eat or for large dinner parties. Very highly recommended.

Review

A quiet evening at Howies Restaurant, Alva street in Edinburgh's West end. Friendly, helpful, attentive service, and excellent venison. No complaints. Have eaten there in the past, and will do so again.

Review

Alva Street Howies restaurant was pleasant & comfortable with good service. The prices were very reasonable but the menu was restricted. Whilst the starters & sweets were very enjoyable the main courses were frankly poor. I selected smoked haddock fishcakes which were tasteless,luke warm and soft. Very disappointing following an excellent meal at Howies in Victoria St.
