Pho Edinburgh Lothian Road is a Vietnamese restaurant at 105–109 Lothian Road. The relaxed dining room serves lunch and dinner and is designed for straightforward everyday visits, whether guests book in advance or use one of the tables held for walk-ins.
Phở noodle soup is at the centre of the menu, pairing rice noodles and aromatic broth with choices of meat, chicken or vegetables and fresh herbs. Diners can adjust a bowl at the table with chilli, citrus and sauces to suit their preferred balance.
Spring rolls are served with lettuce and herbs for wrapping and dipping, while salads, rice dishes and curries provide alternatives to soup. A fragrant prawn curry with vegetables, mushrooms and broken rice illustrates the broader Vietnamese range available from the kitchen.
The menu includes many vegan and gluten free choices, as well as a children’s selection and takeaway. Those labels do not replace individual allergy advice, so guests with coeliac disease or another allergy should consult the restaurant’s current allergen information and speak to staff before ordering.
