Disabled toilet lets this restaurant down

Overview

A restaurant right in heart of Edinburgh City Centre. We went on a beautiful sunny day during the Edinburgh Festival so the Royal Mile was buzzing with excitement with thousands of people watching random performances up and down the street which gives a wonderful atmosphere. We were a bit disappointed that the tables outside the restaurant were full but we only had a 5 minute wait for a table inside. The aisle is a little tight for a wheelchair nut we did get a table which was suitable for a wheelchair user. The meal was very good at reasonably priced. However the only thing that let it down was the disabled toilet. There was a designated one but the door opens in making it impossible for a wheelchair to go in AND close the door!!! Had the door opened outwards it would be have been adequate. This is the only reason for the 2 star rating otherwise it would have been a 3.5

Transport & Parking

2

It is in a pedestrianised thoroughfare however there are some but not many disabled parking bays within 50 - 100metres. The pavement is easier to move on than the cobbled street although during the festival it is difficult anywhere her on the street because of the criwds

Access

3

Straight in from the street with no steps. Main waiting area for a table is up a couple of steps however there is a small area to stay without having to go up the steps. The bar is in the waiting area but staff will bring a drink to anyone having to wait in the lower area.

Toilets

1

The door opens inwards so you can't close the door if you enter in a wheechair.

Staff

Very helpful. Made sure we had a table that was the right height for a wheelchair user.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

Would recommend it for people who are disabled except for those in a wheelchair or mobility scooter
