The Voodoo Rooms, 19a West Register Street, EH2 2AA, Edinburgh
This bar opened tucked away above Cafe Royal at the east end of Princes Street not long before Christmas. We went for lunch on a Saturday in the new year. I'd heard good reports about it as a bar so was looking forward to trying it out for a bite of lunch.
The menu isn't really ideal for a quick, cheap lunch. It's a bit pricey. We both opted for the steak sandwich from the small sandwiches part of the main menu. It was about the cheapest thing at a tenner. There were a few side dishes at the back of the cocktails menu but not enough to constitute a meal.
The food was fine but certainly not exceptional. Nicely presented with the steak arriving between two pieces of toasted bread and packaged up like a parcel in string. The chunky potato wedges looked good but were a too big and a bit bland as a result. The green leaf salad was good though and had a nice honey dressing - no cheap coleslaw in sight.
To drink we asked for a free gin cocktail that we read about in a free magazine. It was vile.
The place certainly looks the part and I'm looking forward to going back in the evening sometime. But I'll give the food and cocktails a miss and get myself a pint!

I have to agree with Andy. I liked the design and ambience of the place but I was a bit disappointed with the menu - I had trouble picking what to eat as there was little that interested me. I ended up having a shrimp stack, which didn't really taste of anything. It was also more expensive than comparable venues.
I would go back to the Voodoo Rooms as it is a nice setting and the cocktails were pretty good but I don't think I would eat there again. They also had a pretty good DJ playing on the Sunday evening that I went.

I went here for dinner last Friday night and it was OK. I had linguini as a main which was fine but nothing special - it was a decent size and hit the spot.
My dining partners had the haddock and chips which they assured me was nice. Mains were approximately £8-£12.
Service was not so great - the girl waitress we had was pretty rude. She seemed confused by the fact we wanted "house wine" and kept acting us to specify - how annoying.. if we wanted to specify we wouldn't have said house wine!
Overall, it was fine, but I wouldn't rush back. Better for some drinks instead.

I went there for a lunch special offer last Saturday and it was a mixed bag. I had the burger which was large and delicious, but all the sandwiches (4 ordered) came with french fries rather than the chunky chips billed on the menu. This was a huge disappointment as they were lukewarm and hinted of something they may have purchased at a famous fast food restaurant around the corner. When we asked the waitress what happened to the chunky chips, as we'd seen the only other dining booth next to us get a plateful minutes earlier, she asked if we wanted to get the kitchen to peel some potatoes and make some up. Maybe we should've said yes.
