Bar + Block Steakhouse Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

Amazing Staff and Food to Die for

Roast Chicken dinner and cheeseburger and chips was ordered. The food was OK at best. The chicken for roast was 2 small slices. So thin its texture was weird. The plate was filled with garden peas. Veg were OK but far too many peas. The burger was dry. Very similar to burger king wopper but so much smaller. Only a handful of chips too. Atmosphere in place seemed very flat.may be different when place is busy.

Great service... wonderful Mrs. Ola. I highly recommend.

Primera visita y no nos defraudaron. Los filetes fueron hechos a la perfección. El personal hizo un gran alboroto sobre la cumpleañera asegurando un fantástico final del día. Buenas opciones de comidas y bar completo dio una gran cantidad de opciones.

Thanks to Martha, we enjoy every second.

Amazing food and great service from Ola!

La comida era preciosa. Nuestro servidor Ola era excelente y nos ayudó con preguntas sobre el menú. Ella también preparó una placa de cumpleaños para un miembro de nuestro grupo que fue muy considerado: )

We had to get the steak! It was good! Had better, but this one is not far off the amazing bracket

Cena con mi hija de 6 años - Viernes temprano por la noche. Grandes opciones de menú para los niños, y la actitud del personal spot - en. Nos fuimos muy felices y con el vientre lleno que Winnie the Pooh envidiaría. . Gracias en particular a la Marta muy amable y servicial - no en todas partes atiende igual de bien para grupos adultos y familiares al mismo tiempo, así que sin duda recomiendo ser y estar. Gracias de nuevo, amigos : o)

What a great find. Perfect bar/restaurant to meet up for lunch and dinner. Great menu with lots to choose from and friendly staff.

Gran ubicación, servicio increíble, comida deliciosa! Tuvimos una oferta de almuerzo / cena temprana y pagamos poco más de £ 50 por 2 cervezas, entrantes, principal, un té y un postre P.D. es Filete + Fritas en la imagen

Nice food, lovely staff but the venue lacked atmosphere. Felt more like a railway canteen than a nice restaurant.

The food was excellent but the service was very disappointing. We were seated by an arrogant blond male server that look at us like he was the owner of the place. Put the menu down (without speaking to us) and pretend to not heard us when we call him and just walk away with his nose up. Getting fed up I called a female server. This girl was lovely and make up for that rude and obnoxious guy. What a shameful attitude. It was our first time coming and we were so excited to try it but hopefully next time the service gets better.

Our meal was delicious! The service was great! We took dessert to go because the meal filled us up, and it did not disappoint!

Exceptional food. Thanks to Piotr for the service

Very good food at a fair price. Very friendly service. Top.

Servicio brillante, y comida brillante. el bistec estaba cocinado perfectamente y el servicio era absolutamente 10 / 10. waheed fue la estrella del espectáculo como nuestro servidor

very nice atmosphere, great food and Mr. Piotr is the best!!!!

Everything was great, I asked for my steak blue, which a lot of chefs don't manage, and it came out absolutely beautifully... my only small complaint is the add on garlic king prawns was £7 for two prawns, I've never known a portion to only be two prawns before

I recently visited this steakhouse and, unfortunately, had a disappointing experience. While food preferences can vary from person to person, what truly impacted my visit was the poor attitude of the staff. Hospitality should be the foundation of any dining experience, and in this case, it was clearly lacking. The food quality also fell short of expectations, adding to the overall dissatisfaction. I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving both service and food standards. Guests deserve to feel welcomed and respected.

Lovely staff very clean nice food

Nice restaurant Nice service, Peter was very attentive and friendly. Food was very good.

Tiny portion of "Triple cooked beef dripping chips" that was a 50p up charge and even with the meerkat meals it really wasn't worth it. Party of 6 and not one compliment for the food. Shame really

Ola is the best! Best food and drinks in Scottland!

Steak cooked to perfection, food delicious 😋

Love the decor and atmosphere, steak salad was perfectly crisp and steak was delicious. Chicken wings were fine. Lunch time was busy and lots of space between tables. Bright with lots of windows

Remember to book! A warm restaurant bar. Pleasant staff. Beautiful presentation on the plate.

Good atmosphere and good service. Clean and professional.

Ola was amazing and helped us out so much, had a lovely experience!

Brilliant service and great food. We had Ola as our server, she was friendly, attentive and helpful throughout. The food tasted amazing and the drinks were really nice. We had the Boozy Brunch, it was really good value for money. We would definitely return again.

Fantastic service, delicious food. They will take really good care of any intolerances, especially if you let them know a day in advance! Our waitress, Ola, was really sweet with us and even gave my mum a little card and a chocolate as it was her birthday! Such a good person! Thanks Ola and the B&B team🥰

We stumbled across here for breakfast and it Had plenty on offer and staff were friendly. Bathrooms were clean

Exceptional meal cooked to perfection. Service was great.

A warm greeting from staff, shown to table by an excellent waiter named Lukas. Nothing was a problem for him and service with a smile with every course and round of drinks. Lukas is a credit to Bar and Block.

Fab chateaubriand and cookie dough dessert. Lukasz was fantastic too 👏

We went for lunch here and we got a nice surprise how good was the food.

Wonderful restaurant, the food was delicious and fresh, and our waitress Marta was a pleasure to talk to; fabulous customer service 🙂

Excellent value for money on the early dinners menu. Also a Whitbread pub so gained points on tasty rewards card.

£10 lunchtime special deal is good value

Been away from home for a week, and this was by far the best meal we've had. Our steaks were excellent and both cooked exactly how we wanted them. A special shout to Michal S, he couldn't have been more attentive to us. Excellent service, excellent food and nit too expensive. The 1 thing I would recommend, go to their own page or phone them direct, 2 days running we went to a booking site by Mozrest and according to them there were no tables available, when actually there were loads of tables empty. I reported this to the staff.

Loved it.....love bar and bloc restaurants especially Winnersh Berkshire bar and bloc

Excellent place. We arrived by chance and entered because we saw they offered a menu at a good price. For a starter we ordered some very delicious chicken wings and for the main we ate what we called a steak and it was very good, they made it with butter and herbs. The accompaniment was some fries. For dessert we ordered the sticky pudding that had been recommended to us and it was something super delicious and memorable. The place is very nice and the service was quite good.

We enjoyed a one night stay in Edinburgh en route to the Highlands. Bar + Block looked like a nice place for our evening meal, and it was very nice food all of the family enjoyed. Marta was a particularly good waitress, very helpful with our questions about the food and most important of all... a smile on her face the entire time. Great place for a meal, great service, a clean restaurant with a nice atmosphere and a bar for a quick cocktail to end the evening. The steaks are recommended if you're a meat lover.

We had the set menu, it was really great. We were full and all we had was quite delicious. Also i would to thank to Peter specially for his great service👌👌

Great food, great value, great service

I found this restaurant on my visit to Edinburgh 28th march 25 I had the steak sandwich with salad it's was gorgeous and I really enjoyed it the service was brilliant considering it was very busy the restaurant was lovely and chilling the waiter was so polite and nothing was to much trouble for him I will definitely visit if I'm back in Edinburgh

Food was delicious was so yummy enjoyed our drinks and was nice coming out enjoying our 2 yr anniversary staff were very friendly and helpful enjoyed the music

Delicious food and good presentation, but the portions are small and expensive. Nice and central place, what I didn't understand or didn't like is that a promotional menu is advertised on the windows facing the street, you enter and they don't show it to you or it's not available, so it's fake although the taquitos were good and quite expensive, at least I already knew it

Been a few times now & never fails to impress. Staff & food both brilliant

We were there with our mums for a Mother’s Day treat (day before). Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Food very disappointing. Way overpriced for what you’re getting. Couldn’t fault the staff however.

Lovely food in here,will definitely come back next time when in Edinburgh...

Excellent cuisine, we were not disappointed. Great welcome, I highly recommend 😊

A recent visit was disappointing. The food is nothing special and to charge £25.50 + £2 for a small steak and peppercorn sauce is ridiculous. There is no attempt at presentation even some greenery on the plate would help make the dish look a bit better. Steaks were tasty but had a lot of fat , chips nothing special and served in dish with large chip on rim, peppercorn sauce very thin and runny. Wine advertised on menu as 12.5% but actually only 10.5% so really need to change this on menu. Waitress was very nice and attentive so thank you. Better steaks to be had at places like Indigo Yard and The Black Ivy for not much more money. Have a look at the photos from Black Ivy to see difference.

Lukas was great! Really great service, food and drinks. The castle views are fantastic and add to a lovely vibe. A really great time!

Lucas was amazing, met our needs throughout our brunch and always had a smile on his face!!! Will be back. Castle views fantastic. Very nice steak frites. Cocktails to die for x

Très bon restaurant on y mange très bien et à prix raisonnable Déco sympa Personnel à l écoute malgrés qu en anglais on a que quelques base Je recommande vivement

Lukas service was 10/10. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a boozy brunch! Lukas was happy to swap some cocktails out for us on the menu as one of our party wasn’t a fan of tequila. He was very attentive and helpful. The food and drinks were great, I had the chicken tacos which were brilliant and generous portion!! Would return time and time again x

10 pound lunch deal change my life. If you want your steak Medium Rare, ask for Rare instead.

Fish dish dried out, I sent it back (no problems there) and was given a freshly cooked fish . My friend had a steak and chips, which she said was delicious. Staff pleasant.

We meet for lunch. Was delicious 😋

The server was a good lad, tipped him a few quid

Knowing how good the food is, we ate here again on our visit to Edinburgh. Food was amazing, the service was great too. Special mention to Andrii who looked after us during the evening. We will certainly be back from Suffolk again.

We had such a great time! My friend & I had booked another restaurant for lunch & we cancelled & came to bar & block instead and so glad we did! The food was very tasty and well presented and the drinks were great! We had brilliant service from our waiter Lucasz who was consistent with checking in on us and looked after us very well, he was great! We had the best time and would definitely come back!

Really nice food, great service, and the drinks are pretty big. Great experience!

Excellent server great food and an all round fantastic experience michal was great and very quick and knowledgeable about the recommendations

Great service from Lucas , food was amazing

Delicious food and very good prices. We loved how they treated us. Excellent welcome to Edinburgh

Very good restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy. The food is very good A pleasant time spent here

Can't rate this place enough. Amazing staff, amazing food, amazing wine and amazing company. If you get the chance to hit this place up please do so.

Ola was amazing would recommend amazing cuts of meat couldn’t fault the service

Ribeye steak tasteless and tough! Expensive for what you get, ribeye was not cooked rare as I had asked it was a medium. Pepper sauce you pay £2 for a tiny little milk jug of pepper sauce! (Costa give you a bigger jug for the milk with your tea than this pepper sauce) Staff were fantastic and very friendly I love my steaks so I probably won't go again.

Ola ofered a great service to us

Very good customer service by Marta, the Asian crispy beef is the best crispy beef I’ve ever tasted

Stayed in attached hotel but spent more time in bar + block. Service was great, on the ball and looked after us on 5 different visits over the weekend. 1st visit was for just drinks, good choice available and bar staff were happy and friendly. 2nd visit was for evening meal, i had a lovely tasting burger etc, the other 3 in our party enjoyed their meals and left clean plates. 3rd visit was for breakfast, great choice again, fresh fruit, hot cooked and a variety of drinks. 4th visit was for a family meet up, we reserved a table for just drinks but spent a couple of hours there. Looked after by the friendly waiting staff. 5th visit was for breakfast again, which set us up for the day. Our weekend stay in Edinburgh was help to be made memorable by bar + block, thank you, we will be back.

Amazing place. The service is outstanding, and the food is the best. I totally recomend this place and any of their dishes.

Went for a Sunday Roast. Food was lovely, service was amazing, Katy looked after ourselves the best way possible. Thank you so much.

We were served by Ola and she was super friendly, very nice and even tried to say a few words in Portuguese. We loved the restaurant.

Marta was amazing as our server!

Marta was amazing. Food was brilliant. Will definitely be back

Excellent food and great service 👌

Rude staff… food is terrible the meat was overcooked leaving it tasting plane and dry, If you cant grill a simple burger patty dont call yourself a steak house.

I went here yesterday for a nice meal with my friend, once seated we sat and chatted and didn't even open the drink menu. Our waiter for the night asked us what we wanted to drink, my friend ordered and I said I wasn't sure yet and that I'm not having alcohol. The waiter proceeded to ask me why I'm not drinking alcohol, which I think was completely inappropriate due to the plethora of personal reasons it could have possibly been. I brushed it off and said because I don't want to as quite frankly it's none of his business. He then suggested a drink, a popstar martini and listed all the ingredients in it except the alcohol. Bearing in mind I hadn't looked at the drink menu so I didn't know this was just a regular cocktail. I said okay to the drink order because as far as both me and my friend heard, it didn't contain alcohol. He then comes back to the table with two glasses of prosecco which we never asked for. I thought this was weird as he clearly acknowledged I wasn't drinking. Then he brought our drinks over and I was sipping it and I made my friend try it as I was convinced it had alcohol in it. She then asked the waiter what was in the drink and he said vodka in the list of other ingredients. I was trying to replay back the conversation to see if I had missed anything. But both my friend and I cannot recall him ever saying the drink he suggested had alcohol in it when he listed the ingredients. My friend then drank the rest of the drink and I ordered a soft bottled drink as I had lost any trust in this waiter. After that moment the waiter kept his interactions very short and blunt whereas before he seemed to linger and flirt hence the complimentary prosecco he brought us. The food was delicious but unfortunately one person let down my experience. I just don't understand why someone wouldn't respect my choice of having a non alcoholic drink after very clearly acknowledging I had said that by asking why. It's wildly unprofessional and it was really frustrating. It was one of your tall male waiters working dinner on Sunday the 16th of February. I'm sure he knows exactly who he is.

I expected more from it. Pressed burgers, a few pieces of fries.

My family and I had breakfast whilst visiting Edinburgh for the day. Great choice of food and drink and really friendly staff, catering for the allergies that we highlighted. Really good and A+++ service.

Roast chicken was not roast it was grilled and I would not have ordered it if I had known - I tasted it and had to leave it! The service from the waiter was excellent - he did pass on my complaint to the kitchen. Also the on childrens menu it says pancakes but I got one single pancake.

Lovely service and place to be. Probably didn't pick their best dish. But what went around all looked very appetising.

A very good choice for food, especially the fish and chips. The burger is also very good. Polite staff and clean shop

Well, it's on the main avenue. A great place, super good service and they adapt to your language perfectly, and even with basic English they also understand you, the girl who served us is called Ola, she is Polish, and she is excellent... 😉, price quality, well, it is expensive, but well, the quality shows, everything is very good...desserts of 10.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Bar+Block Steakhouse. I thought this was a hotel restaurant but it certainly can stand on its own. The quality of the food was very good. I tried the Steak Sampler, which included 3 different types of steak. Each cut was very tasty and well prepared. The atmosphere was also very nice and the staff was very friendly. I will go back for sure and I would recommend this to anyone looking to have some good steak.

Great food, great atmosphere. Would recommend.

We have been several times but the steak wasn't as good

Booked this for my Nanas birthday looked decent and we as a family aren’t complainers but my god, went for 6:45 ordered food and drinks which came fast for the drinks and starter then had to wait an hour and a half for our main before we ended up cancelling the order and paying for what we ate, wouldn’t recommend service if awful and staff were not nice. (Thursday Night)

The staff are rude and have no respect for disabled people while dinning there a man ask to use toilet and made it clear he had medical issues they didn't care ruined my experience and won't be back

the Manager doesn't know how to be a manager, there were 25 of us, he asks to pay a single account, he doesn't accept separate accounts and therefore according to him it's normal for someone to have to pay more than £400 by card and then bend over backwards to get the percentage from the other diners...

Nice restaurant. It was almost empty when we dined. The staff were nice. The steak was good. We had the fillet steak.

Thank you for beeing open during the storm today. 😊

Disappointing and expensive for very average food and portions!

Great wee bar with views of the castle & princess Street. Cocktails are lovely 😍 aperol spritz, espresso martini & the new frozen xmas one was delicious too.

I liked the meat restaurant, God willing. I had a wonderful meat burger and I recommend it to meat lovers

Superb food, excellent staff and a fantastic atmosphere.
