Breadstreet in Edinburgh, City of

with a friend we decided to have lunch and Bread st looked best option,modern design and interesting menu ,however one habit of mine is to ask the staff what they would eat or recommend ,we love fish and our server Alessandra recommended Crab on toast and Tuna Tartare which were great choices although I found the Tuna little too spicy , Mr Raboso

Lovely festive warm welcome. Set menu delicious. Best seat in the restaurant even though I’m solo and on a budget. I’m a chef and I’m very impressed.

Sonia was brilliant, extra special when she bought out the birthday cake. Also A* photographer. Bread was initially slow to come out, but mains couldn’t be faulted.

Lovely atmosphere and very good service by our waitress Sonia. Recommend a visit. Don't miss the dessert when you're here.

We visited the bread street kitchen for the first time and what a fabulous experience it was our waiter Bobby was excellent very friendly and thoughtful through the whole meal which was absolutely amazing as was the sommelier Michele who gave us great advice and letting us taste the perfect wine . The whole night was just perfect we will definitely be back agin .

Exellent service from our waitress Sonia. Good food, drinks and good atmosphere. Top score😊 We wish something like this in Bergen.

Excellent food, nice and modern atmosphere in addition to a great service! Can't ask for more. Waheed, our host was extremely friendly and courteous. Highly recommended

Loved our dinner here. Atmosphere is a 10; service was a 10 and our meal was a 10. We enjoyed appetizers, drinks, dinner and dessert. Definitely a food stop you should not miss. The pork belly was amazing, juicy, flavorful and crisp crackling. The dessert was an airy cheesecake- delicate and scrumptious.

Absolutely lovely, best sticky toffee pudding I've ever had. And the staff are so nice :D

Convenient as in hotel was stating at. Starters looked and tastes great although salmon too rich for my brother. So didn't finish it. Lamb main was excellent. Steak was a bit rough and gristley. Ordered medium rare and would have medium next time as was difficult to distinguish fat and gristle from red meat. Service was excellent.

waited over a our for the first course. Service very poor but this seemed to be due to kitchen staff problems and not the waiting staff who were left trying to keep the customers happy. We were given our bottle of wine for free to compensate. We were there on vegan night and it was really to try out this place with 2 vegans (we are not). Unfortunately the stop start nature of the meal adversely affected the whole experience. I suspect we were just unlucky.

As a foody and someone who cooks a lot of creative vegetarian and vegan meals, I went to a vegan night at Hilton with curiosity and high expectations. Sadly I was dissapointed: there was no imagination in the meal, it was boring, dry with far too much salt and no other herbs or spices added to the dish. To make vegan food tasty it needs to be vibrant in colour and flavour and you can't achieve it with just 3 ingredients or so. Paying for a meal which doesn't meet your expectations really annoys me as when I go out I want to eat something I would not be able to prepare myself. Not at Hilton. My friend who chose a different dish yo mine was equally disappointed. We won't be back!

The bread street brasserie appears to be closed. Despite taking reservations, they sent us to an adjoining restaurant. It's a hotel restaurant and the food was rather uninspiring. Very disappointed.

I couldn’t believe how slack the staff are. There were loads of staff but they didn’t do much to make it a nice evening out. Service was worse than slow and everything was prompted. Eventually they brought bread. Then we waited and asked for butter. They brought out three packets of butter for 5 people. So was asked for some more butter. We asked for a bottle of champagne. They said - oh we don’t think we have any - even though it was on the wine list. We said - it is our friends birthday - special occasion - so hey made a huge effort to find some. I wou;d have thought most places would want to sell champagne. The food was ok - although my friend wanted roast chicken - but they only had chicken stuffed with haggis and weren’t prepared to prepare something without haggis. Then when we finished the meal (we on;y had one course), they left our plates on the table for about 20 minutes and didn’t clear them away. Frankly - I don’t know how they got any good reviews. The whole place oozed a sense of boredom and complacency. I wouldn’t recommend it.

The service was pleasant and the food was good. We chose the place because of their menus posted on the internet. When we arrived we discovered that many bar and menu selections were unavailable. Had we known our choices would be so limited, we would have gone elsewhere.

The Restaurant was clean, tidy, lovely greeting by the F&B manager, we were sat promptly with the specials and soups outlined before taking our food order. Drinks and food were timely, all our needs were addressed. The food was excellent, as was the selection of spirits. All food and accompanying service was to a very high standard and to top it off they laid out a plate of decorative brownies with a”Happy Birthday” message written in chocolate which they presented to my Mum during our dessert course which made the experience even more special. The F&B manager was very attentive to all our needs, was relaxed and jovial with us and offered some advice for other bars to visit during our time in Edinburgh. Overall an exceptional visit, great value for money, great quality.

Nice hotel restaurant, good food, well presented, attentive staff but the place was completely empty other than us, so the atmosphere was somewhat lacking. Good value for money too

More limited vegan options on an ordinary night than I expected, given we gave advance warning and they offer specific vegan nights monthly. Still, a nice enough mean.

Great experience, really good food with great service

The vegan options were great and staff went out of their way to adapt things to dietary requirements without being asked. Food was delicious. The only downside was that we waited half an hour to have our desert menus brought over after asking and it was very quiet so there was no reason I could see for it to take so long. Just a mistake though and I would definitely be back!!

We came down from Aberdeen to attend our friends daughters evening wedding celebration within the Hilton so thought this would be handy for dinner, and easy to pop through to the event. It was dead quiet (never a good sign) but staff were pleasant. Our main course was fine, not amazing but perfectly adequate. Then the waitress came with the sweet menu, left us a few minutes then came back to tell us the only dessert we could have was fruit salad or ice-cream!!!!! Really? No apple pie, sticky toffee pudding etc etc? On a Saturday night? Very disappointing that this wasn't pointed out at the beginning of the meal as the offer was 2 courses for £22. We may have ordered starters instead.... A table of 8 came in as we left so I hope they weren't expecting a slap up & a big bowl of pudding!!

Recently visited the restaurant for its Vegan Night as my wife has recently become a Vegan and we liked the look of the menu. All the food we had on the night was really tasty and at only £17.50 each for 3 courses it represented excellent value. The staff serving us were very friendly and attentive which made for a great experience all round. We will definitely be returning at some point in the future.

Good central location to meet up with friends. Service was efficient and friendly and the food was well presented and cooked. We all enjoyed our choices from the lunch menu.

Bread street Brasserie was a great dining experience that we would love to enjoy again.

Did not have a good meal 3 meals was not cooked and fish no taste and watery.

We’d booked the bread street brasserie based on a recommendation from a friend who guaranteed the best haggis. The haggis was nice and appears to be a standard on the starter menu... but in a different form... it was breadcrumbed and fried. Completely different to what we were expecting but still a tasty starter. The Shepherds Pie was exactly as designed... a perfect comfort food. Perfect after a days exploring with a pot of red cabbage for accompaniment. Our issues came when every member of waiting staff (3) on duty asked if we were ok in the space of 2 minutes. We’d barely had a chance to take a bite in between. It was a pleasant experience and we were afforded the time to relax after our meal and finish our drinks. I’d recommended it you were staying nearby but nothing so mind blowing as to warrant a journey from afar to the restaurant.

We were staying overnight at the hotel to go to a nearby concert so chose to eat there too. The staff were VERY friendly and attentive without being intrusive and seemed genuinely interested in us and our reasons for eating there. The food was served reasonable quickly (which was good as we were going to the concert for 7.30) and was absolutely delicious. We skipped starters but was served home made cranberry and walnut bread which was to die for. My husband had the buffalo burger and I had the steak pie - the pastry was obviously made with butter and tasted delicious. Then my husband had the apple pie and custard while I had the chocolate mousse and walnut ice-cream -it was SO good!! We will definitely be eating there again for sure.

We arrived At 5.00 for a pre theatre, the restaurant was empty so no atmosphere but the staff food and service were excellent, we had a lovely bottle of wine which was reasonably priced, overall a nice experience

Absolutely fantastic vegan food. What a treat. So rare to have three excellent choices on each course.

Excellent service with good food in pleasant surroundings.

We went for Vegan Night and it was fantastic! Food was tasty and well presented, and the service was great.

We visited for the vegan night. The food was tasty and the restaurant relaxed. The service was friendly but seemed a little disorganised. How ever this did not affect our experience.

Excellent three course vegan meal in a pleasant restaurant with good service. The food was delicious and the portions generous. It was busy but didn't feel overcrowded. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back!

Despite being told our booking had been cancelled at 3-00 in the afternoon due to booking through open table and not leaving a deposit we were rebooked and treated to free pressecco

Came here for a family new year celebration meal. I was apprehensive as some reviews left were a little on the negative side. I had no need to worry as the food was excellent and very good portion sizes so much so there was no room for dessert! Good service and a nice place to eat with modern surroundings attatched to the Hilton Double tree hotel

Lovely food and nice service. Off Lothian Road so not so busy that you can’t hold a conversation.

Although the food was excellent and the service was mostly very good, there were a couple of things that lost some stars in the rating. Just little things, really, but you would expect them to be in place given the surroundings and the price we paid for Christmas dinner. Firstly, no one asked to take our coats and scarves when we were seated, so we had to hang them on our chairs - I know it's not a big thing but you'd expect a good restaurant to offer such a thing, especially as they were bulky coats to combat the Edinburgh winter weather. Also, the service was variable, ranging from fantastic to just plain surly. One waitress of the latter description grabbed my partner's starter at one point and started taking it away. She told the waitress she hadn't finished, at which point the waitress handed it back and stood on her shoulder watching her eat (seriously, she did) and the split second she finished the last scrap, the waitress whisked it away. It was like something from a sitcom. The same waitress also forgot to bring us some water we'd requested and we had to rely on one of the better waiting staff after waiting twenty minutes. To cap it off, the same waitress brought our desserts without one word and half-dropped/slid them onto the table before marching off again. As I said, little things, but we just felt the service could have been that little bit better given the price of the meal and the prestigious surroundings.

The 6 course Christmas menu was a great choice as the food was lovely, the service was exceptional too. £70 a head was a bit steep but there was always going to be a premium to pay on Christmas Day.

I booked for a table of 6 , was very happy with our seating meal and service , will definitely be back again thankyou

Went for Christmas dinner there. Got the Christmas menu, bit overpriced for what you get. Starter was very average the main was okay but nothing special. The pudding and service were both great so mixed bag.

Reluctant to recommend as two visits earlier in the week were very poor quality as regards the food. This particular visit although only two days later the food quality was significantly better.

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our night out at the Bread Street Brasserie on Saturday the 2nd of December.The staff were very nice and the food was lovely .Would recommend to any of our friends and we would come back again.

Service good and food excellent - couple of nice vegetarian options on both general menu and festive menu. Relaxed environment away from the hectic Xmas crowds.

The service we had from Pavlos was excellent and the food was really quite good for a reasonable price. Will definitely recommend this place to others!

Restaurant was dead only 2other diners. We were offered bread ( cheap frozen baguettes ) we use at school where I work. Surely chef could be making fresh bread? Cauliflower Starter lovely presented but no seasoning!! Main course was fish it was nice. Really disappointed as we were only in Edinburgh for one night.

Very good meal and at this point we were the only ones in the restaurant as we dined at 5pm as we had a show booked for later that evening. Food was excellent and service was brilliant. Only issue was after coming home I think I was over charged. £90+ for 2 meals(3 courses) and 1 drink each plus a coffee at the end. My wife had steak and I had Pork Belly and both excellent. But meals show of only came to £66.50 and that means almost £30 for a pint of lager, fresh orange and Lemonade and a coffee. No idea but I think i never checked receipt but definitely over charged

Exceptional staff who go out of their way to make your evening and meal memorable. Fantastic food , great ambience and well worth the prices .

Visited the bread street brasserie while on a trip to Edinburgh to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Would definitely dine here next time I'm in Edinburgh.

The service and food are excellent. Nice selection of Scottish favorites and a great location.

Restaurant cold and quiet with slow service. OK if staying in the hotel but better options nearby.

Menu was boring and uninspired. Food was bland and unappetizing. It's as if someone decided "vegan food" is exactly the same as "normal food" only without the meat.

Every element of our meal was delicious and very nicely presented. The decor is lovely, absolutely no criticism of the lay out etc. The highlight of our visit however was the staff. They are all so good at their job. They were all very informative when asked, efficient, welcoming and friendly without being chummy. What more could a customer ask for! We had come a long way to have dinner here but I would like to think we will be back

Unfortunately the kitchen was out of two key menu items this Sunday night. However, there were still some decent choices. Restaurant interior was quite nice -- contemporary, sleek, but the view to the outside was they typical bleakness of urban Edinburgh. Some gauzy curtains could help that!

Really tasty vegan food using simple raw ingredients. A decent choice of 3 in each course and fantastic value for money. Service a little slow - had to wait a while for mains- but easily rectified with a reminder. Friendly, attentive staff and well thought out, comfortable surroundings. Will definitely be back and will recommend.

We are regular customers to the monthly Vegan Night. Recent changes of staff have not had any effect on the quality of service or the quality of the food. Always a delightful dining experience :-)

From the moment we arrived the staff were fantastic. nothing was a problem, we even asked to move to another table "window seat" this was done with great speed and efficiency, wine menu was very good, the main menu although rather small was excellent as was the presentation and the food, background music was perfect pitch, this made our visit to the Tattoo even better

The food was decent enough, but the service was tragically, even comically bad, to such an extent that once we had accepted the situation it actually provided considerable entertainment. As performance art reminiscent of Fawlty Towers, I would give it four stars.

Very disappointed in this restaurant within the Hilton Double Tree Hotel. Service can only be described as abysmal, it was over 45 minutes from order to arrival of food and there were probably only 4-5 tables occupied in the restaurant. We even heard waitress tell an arriving couple that they would not be able to take any more orders for at least 15 minutes , some serious issues going on in this kitchen.<br />When food did arrive the one steak was overcooked and dry but other meals were good. We stayed overnight and service at breakfast next day was far superior even though restaurant was crowded,

Quiet, no music, excellent food, efficient friendly service<br />Good for pre and after theatre as two minutes from 3 theatres

Excellent menu choice and slick friendly service.<br />Ideal for pre theatre meal.

As always this place offers excellent food and a great ambiance. Service always starts off well but unfortunately can decline towards the end. I have eaten here several times and without exception have had to ask for coffee and the bill. Nothing a few tweaks by the management wouldn&#039;t fix but it is a long time coming. However it is a good restaurant and priced right.

overall it was pretty decent. a few faults - the chips that came with the fish were more like potatoes, the tartar sauce wasn&#039;t as tasty as I thought it could be and we were made to wait quite a bit for drink orders and for our food.

I would not recommend the food at all you will be disappointed.<br />If you want vegan food then you must go and try Harmonium restaurant at the shore you will be blown away.<br />The price was ridiculous.<br />Service was OK but annoying.

The staff were all very friendly and accommodating even though we turned up late for our reservation. We were served in good time and the food was good. Great to have a vegan night once a month!

I don&#039;t normally eat vegan meals, let alone a 3 course meal of vegan friendly food, but I took along a friend who is vegan where we both got food from the menu. <br />First of all she was very impressed with the selection of food for each course, apparently it&#039;s rare to find that amount of variety.<br />Secondly, and most importantly, we both agreed that the food served was delicious. If this was the standard for vegan friendly meals I would have no problem eating it more often.<br />Highly recommended by both of us.

We stayed here to view Edinburgh university with our daughter. Our dinner was devine and the front of house waiter recommended a fantastic wine that suited our beef. Everything was perfection and the service was great by lovely staff and also the breakfast was fab too. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff there. Smiles all around and made our short stay very enjoyable thank you

Excellent having a monthly Vegan night. Great idea.

We didn&#039;t know that the restaurant is part of a hotel. The restaurant was nearly empty when we got there. The dinning chairs were extremely uncomfortable and the food was so mediocre. A disappointing evening!

Impressive menu and wine list. Lovely decor, but not so busy that you can&#039;t hear your friends speak. Love the Bread Street Brasserie.

Had given my husband a voucher for his birthday to go to one of the restaurants Vegan Nights and sadly the experience was very underwhelming.<br />Service was poor when you consider the fact that this is a Hilton restaurant. Waited a long time to even get a menu and had to ask for it in the end. The waitress forgot our wine order which we also had to ask for, after having our food served. I chosen a soup for a starter which was served without the bread and butter it was supposed to have on the side. And when we ordered our dessert, only 1 was brought in without any questions. We asked if we could please have the dessert for my husband too and were told we would have to wait a while as they had to make it up. <br />The food in itself was very underwhelming. As a top end hotel restaurant you would expect a bit more effort going into creating a vegan menu and not just have a choice of baked potato, spring rolls and a burger, which anyone can make at home. We chose the burger which was really disappointing. The bun was a plain white McDonalds looking roll, and the fries on the side looked like they were straight out of a bag of frozen Tescos french fries. The burger in itself was not very tasty and had large lumps of sundried tomato.<br />I really dont enjoy writing critical reviews of places, but I just felt this one had to be said. It was supposed to be a happy occasion but we came away very disappointed, and we are usually not picky. Sadly we cannot recommend going to the vegan night here and will definitely not be coming back.

Food was excellent and good value for money. The service was extremely poor with the waiting staff only interested in setting up for the next mornings breakfast

Disappointing visit, It is located in the HIlton, Doubletree Hotel. It was very quiet. Only 2 other tables occupied between 7 and 8:30 on a Friday. No atmosphere. We had their special of steak and 3 sides and Malbec wine for 2. We had a wait of over 30 minutes for the steak. I queried the wait with the waitress and she came back with the steak immediately but didn&#039;t say why. I complained about the wait and she asked me what I wanted her to do. I asked her to pass on the complained. She did not do this. I asked the supervisor if she had received my complaint and she had not! I was not impressed. It is not worth a visit. The service is poor and the value not great and there is no atmosphere. Not worth a visit.

Staff were lovely cannot fault them, sadly it was sat night and yet there was the 2 of us and one more table, very limited menu and with just 2 tables no atmsophere at all yet the place is very nice to look at, maybe we just came at wrong time of year shame, as I said staff couldn`t have been nicer

Very tasty steak deal with a fine Malbec to accompany. Restaurant almost deserted at pre-theatre despite being a Friday night.

Best food ever really impressive tasty top marks. Bit pricey though steak £30 but truly amazing. However £3.50 for a side order of triple çooked chips which consisted of just 6 chips is truly shocking.I asked the server if he had eaten a few on the way out the kitchen. The dessert of banana spring roll was the most define experience ever. However the hotel let&#039;s itself down again by charging £4.50 for a pint of lager plus an extra 85p for a splash of like cordial. Makes a pint a whopping£5.35p.......At least Dick Turpin wore a mask when robbing people. Special mention for the lovely and chatty Ana from Cadiz in Spain and the super student Laura both girls are a credit to the brasserie and the reason I left them a £10 tip!!!!

I had Fish and chips on the new menu. The fish was cooked but the batter was soggy and soft.. It wasn&#039;t cooked long enough and wasn&#039;t hot.. It was Luke warm and felt a though it has been pre cooked and flash fried as the meal came within 5 minutes the chips was brown on the outside and barely cooked inside.. Overall pretty shocking! And for £12 I would of rather went to my local chippy for the next 3 days! My partners meal was also of mediocre standards! I won&#039;t be here again unless every other place in Edinburgh shuts down!!

We had the steak night sharing platter and as advertised came looking and tasting amazing. Amazing value with a full bottle of malbec. Our cote de beouf was cooked perfectly medium rare. The sides were plenty and the service was attentive without being over baring. A lovely experience from start to finish. I can not recommend enough. <br /><br />Many thanks it all added to our wonderful weekend. We will definitely be back.

We ate here early one evening. Great service and really good food. All reasonably priced and would be pleased to eat there again.

There was nothing actually wrong with this Brasserie although for a city centre eaterie on a Saturday afternoon it was weirdly quiet. Very pub-grubby food choices. Service took a while even though we were one of only two tables!

Fantastic monthly vegan night in a comfortable atmosphere was great. Food outstanding!

Overpriced. Also bill had drinks on for another table and wrong prices. Staff didn&#039;t appear to communicate. Wouldn&#039;t go again. Check the bill is my advice.

Terrible - food obviously re-heated and over cooked- burger bun stale and dry

It was extravagant and food was good. Staaf were friendly. <br />The ambiance was romantic

Brasserie is well appointed near theatres, concert halls and so ideal for pre theatre meal. The food was alright but really rather bland and the starter took 20 minutes to arrive. Staff were efficient and friendly. Very different to the experience next morning at breakfast which was quite excellent with huge range of both cold and hot food as well as a massive range of alternatives and very attentive, cheerful staff.

Well located for theatre, good food and excellent service, lacked ambience/atmosphere a bit, was quiet for pre-theatre and lighting too bright but overall recommended

Short notice booking which was great. We were staying in the hotel and arrived quite late, so it was handy to go downstairs to eat. That was probably the the only plus to the restaurant. Food was plastic, and although our server was absolutely lovely, there was a bit of difficulty with translation.

We have been There for the vegan night and the menue was fantastic! Service was great as well! Specially the Pizza Balls were awesome!

Everything just how it should be. Could not fault the food, the service or the decor.

Great attentive and helpful service

Food was nice but the service while friendly was quite slow. It was very quiet so lacking in atmosphere. Saw two people waiting for a table at the door just after 9 o&#039;clock and after waiting 10 minutes to be seen were told they were too late for a table. Considering it was still early and the restaurant about a third full this seemed ridiculous. Nice food but not blown away.

Good food at a reasonable price but slow service even though the restaurant was less than half full. Did not know it was the restaurant for the Hilton Hotel with mainly residents eating. It is portrayed as a standalone brasserie on the website.

Limited menu even though I had checked. Sales mtg going on with 30 people at the tables beside us and the waiter managed to muck up the order. Food was ok but choice and setting was poor. Much better as the old point hotel. Poor show Hilton, a brand but not much else!

Very nice restaurant for a pre theatre meal. Everything was freshly prepared so took a bit longer, but we weren&#039;t in a hurry. The restaurant is beautifully designed and laid out and the staff were attentive.

We were staying in the Hilton hotel and booked here for dinner. The food was very good and the service was great. The restaurant seemed very quiet for a Friday night at 8pm but all in all a pleasant experience.

Truly dreadful. The restaurant was only about a quarter full but that did not stop awful incompetent service, the food being served more than an hour after ordering , wrong and cold.

We were visiting Edinburgh and had read that Bread Street Brasserie does a vegetarian (or maybe it is vegan, I forget now) dinner on the first Monday of each month. We went with anticipation but it turns out that information was incorrect. The special menu is on the first Wednesday, rather than Monday. Even so, we had a very nice dinner because the staff was more than kind in helping us determine what menu items were suitable. We hadn&#039;t realized this restaurant is within a hotel. Even so, it was a very nice meal and a good, comfortable, relaxed welcome on our first night in a city we had never before visited. Thank you so much to the staff of Bread Street Brasserie.

We were the only two tables.. good though lol

Had the 3 courses for £20 and was worth every penny food and service was excellent

Although this restaurant is part of an hotel, it is most definitely worth a visit, in its own right, for the excellent quality food and wine. The special offers make it even more worth visiting. A variation of a Scotch Egg made with haggis was a delight, with the egg a perfect texture, and the wines were also excellent and not particularly expensive. <br /><br />The restaurant does have quite a formal feel to it but you should ignore that and just enjoy the excellent quality food and drink.

The Bread Street Brasserie was a nice in-hotel restaurant with okay food and great service. It was quiet when we arrived (the only 2 guests) but then the next 2 were put on the table beside us, and a group of 8 put on the table behind us - yet the rest of the restaurant was big and empty!
