Great atmosphere, excellent food and great staff. This is a superb Chinese restaurant serving a great range of excellent food and wine. Chopsticks are not compulsary but are fun to try.

The restaurant is situated in the West End , and is accessed up a flight of stairs.Public transport is very convenient as the bus stops are right outside the restaurant . Decor is bright and cheerful , and food is excellent, with portions on the large side plus free prawn crackers. We had Deep fried king Prawns and Pork Ribs to start, followed by Crispy shredded beef and roasted duck curry, both of a high standard. Service was a little slow but the restaurant was quite busy on a Friday night. The bill for two courses plus wine , for two persons, was £45 , which was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was lovely Service Was diabolical , we waited over an hour to get our main meal, when it arrived after we complained, The two waiters That came with our food one was rude and had no manners. Saying that when I complained we got an apology And our Second Round of drink on the house also discount of our bill, which is good but not what you are looking for on a night out😤. Maybe some sort of voucher As a when of an apology Would help!! As we have been customers off and on for some time coming with different friends.

Terrible, been to this restaurant many times. It’s usually excellent. I don’t know what happened on this occasion, food was tasteless. Service ok at best. New management perhaps?

Very good restaurant in the centre of town. Good food well presented and very good value for money. One minus is that the decor could be updated.

We have been eating here as a family for 25 years as as a Father’s Day treat it was a unaminous vote. Duck to start , best shredded beef anywhere and chicken yellow bean sauce were amongst our choices. Top place.

Great quality for the price of a lunch at £8.99. Staff are very friendly and obliging. On Wednesday the restaurant was very busy. Pity the stairway entrance is so neglected.

The Rendezvous was always our favourite restaurant however on this occasion it failed to live up to standard. The main course prawns were chewy not succulent as expected and apparently the duck was not the best either. We waited ages before our drinks order was taken by a surly waitress tho other staff were at their usual charming. There was a lengthy gap in one starter being served after the other 2 which is unacceptable in a group of only 3 people. Perhaps the chef is new or the ownership has changed since our last visit some time ago but I doubt we will be back,

We absolutely love this restaurant for its outstanding food and excellent service. The wine list is extremely fair priced but if you’d rather BYOB the corkage charge is £5 per bottle.

Can’t beat the food here. It’s delicious! It’s always busy but they always seem to serve you as quickly as they can. You can bring your own bottle too for a £5 corkage charge per bottle so it can make it a bit cheaper. Lunch is particulate good value for £8.95 for three courses.

Good food at good prices. Having been there a few times the only minor criticism I would have is the rather unwelcoming entrance on the ground floor...........but perhaps they don't own it and cannot up-grade!

Excellent starters - fresh cooked and full of flavour. Mains were not up to the same standard though, with very little meat in the 2 chicken dishes and some overly-thick sauces. First beer was served warm, so was returned and replaced, and the bill was wrong. Service was very pleasant, and was still an enjoyable evening.

Food great staff wonderful. Noticed there were pictures missing from the wall. Years ago the Restaurant had lovely white tablecloths. I have been going to your restaurant for about 40 years. The tables are a bit shabby so white tablecloths would be an improvement. But the food is delicious as ever.

Didn't enjoy the food. Our drinks didn't arrive, we had to ask for them when the food was being served. The lemon chicken didn't arrive along with the other dishes and we had to wait. When it did arrive it had far too much vinegar in the sauce. You could smell it as soon as the plate was placed down. We waited ages for the bill and as we were paying by card we waited and waited for them to come with the machine. We just got up and paid at the bar. Poor quality food & poor service. I won't be back or recommend

Though there were some empty tables, we were placed at next to people who were noisy and rude. Staff did ask us how we were but they didn't do anything about them. My food was not hot enough. We didn't have a good experience.

Rendezvous is the top Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh. The food was excellent, the service was prompt and the venue is comfortable. The menu is also extensive so there will be a dish for everyone. I would recommend it to anyone.
