We where encouraged to go for set menu to be fair sounded good here we go ! Starter chicken wings hot on the outside luke warm in the centre my wife had fish bites, stodgy batter hardly taste the fish ! Mains were steak strips ok, wife had fish ok ! Asked for side of macaroni was told it was burning hot 🔥 just a pity the inside was 🥶 to be fair was not charged for it but would rather not hear them saying this has not ever happened before rather they concentrate making sure food is served with attention being paid ! Yea Gordon if you get a chance pop in undercover 🥸 see what's going on standards slipping shame but not good enough !!! Folks work hard for their money, this was NOT value today.. ruined an otherwise rare day off with my wife.

Service was excellent, I think Jason was our servers name and he made us feel very at home. Food was lovely. We got the Wellington and burrata to start. Wasn't anything mind blowing but we enjoyed it. Desserts were lovely too, nothing out of this world, the salted caramel icecream should be showcased more as it was the highlight of the chocolate fondant dish

Very disappointing. Phoned in advance as on a fat free diet & told I could be accommodated no problem. This wasn't the case & waiter wasn't clued up atall with menu. We were a party of 6. I had Sea bream in the end & it was minute with a few bits of broccoli. I asked for boiled potato but they couldn't provide that. Offered chips or creamy mash neither I could have. Another in the party ordered a quinoa salad that again was absolutely minute & asked if this was a mistake & was a side salad instead of a main course. We arrived at 5pm & we're going to theatre at 7.30pm & weren't able to have time for a sweet as the service was so slow. When the bill came we were charged £20 extra for a bottle of red wine. It turned out we were given a dearer wine than we ordered. Admittedly they took the £20 off the bill. Sharp practice, were they hoping we wouldn't notice. Myself & the person having the salad left really hungry. All round a very bad & disappointing experience. Avoid this place. Plays on name but it's just a rip off.

I had received a trip to the Bread Street Kitchen as a gift and we finally had the opportunity to take advantage of the deal. Myself, I enjoyed my starter of Wings and my wife tried the cod bites, which she also enjoyed (I did have a bite and the tartare sauce was really nice). We had invited our daughter and this is where it fell apart, not because of her, well maybe.🤣 Her Macaroni was a bit sloppy and tasteless. She enjoyed the fries as they were referred to as "banging". When the mains arrived they were both visually impressive. My steak was cooked perfectly, and the chips were tasty but then I also tried my wife's chickpea curry. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't as good as the steak (fair enough) but the rice was crunchy, the best way to describe it. Finally we hit the dessert, it stepped up the game again. Service was amazing, the staff were attentative and friendly which makes it hard to write something with a negative view when they were such a positive aspect.

We were there for my son's birthday! Just 3 of us! The staff were incredibly nice and professional, thanks to Ollie. My son ordered the steak, and it was fabulous . My husband ordered chicken. Cury also was great.. I decided to get Ramsey signature dish, which it was fish and chips , unfortunately, it was so oily ! If Ramsey was there, he definitely cursed them all 😉! But I didn't say anything because Ramsey is my son's hero, and he loves him madly 🤪. I didn't want to ruin my son time. The bill was about £200! The tax and tip included which was pricey for me.🫠 By the way, the staff made a great gesture and brought a special Happy birthday treat.

Gordon for the masses. Bread Street Kitchen is a busy local hangout on St Andrews Square in the New Town area of Edinburgh. With Ramsey's name above the door, you know it's going to be good quality and as restaurants go ..this one is a good choice. It's a huge warehouse style eatery with wall to ceiling windows and exposed duct work and industrial. The service is pacey and well organised. The menu is decent and for a nice dinner you'll be paying about £70 a head for (unless you opt for dry aged steaks). Portions are ok. On this lunchtime visit, I enjoyed the Butter Chicken Curry 🍛 and Saffron Rice 🍚, followed by a Black Forrest Cheesecake. I added a glass of coke and it came to £45.00 Waiting staff checked back regularly and although it was quiet on this visit, it can be very so book ahead. There is also a set menu which offers great value if you're easily pleased in choice.

Ollie was our server, we came for my birthday celebration and did the beef wellington experience. That food is enough for 3/4 people!! We had to be rolled out of the restaurant, I’ve never been so full! They changed some starter and dessert for me due to a dairy intolerance, knowing the pastry of the wellington had dairy, I wanted to limit everything else so I could indulge on that! We had an amazing time, our server Ollie made the experience and provided some humour when we mentioned the amount of food!! 10/10 , we are already planning our return. If you do the experience, you get all three starters and desserts, we thought you got to choose one out of the three so we’re very suprised! And very full!

A bit disappeointed, expected more for this name and prices. We tried burgers in GR place nearby and it was really tasty, so decided to have burger here as well. My husband went for fish and chips and it was just fine, but my burger was real disappointment. Meat was overcooked, overall burger really really dry and kind of flavourless. It is really not worth 27£ (I added bacon for extra 3 or 4£)... I didn't share this with staff as they were not really chatty or kind of interested at the end of service (at the beginning the waiter help sith recommendation of wine and food) The whole atmosphere was just okay.

Firstly, I would have thought Gordon would not have "Ben" the "robot" answering the phone..extremely frustrating! Food very dissapointin! Starter, "cod bites" tasteless, too large for a starter! Very tough and cold grilled flat iron steak, for main. chips were good, however, the wilted salad? Not certain about the cold dressing on the steak? uncooked and bitter tasting brownie, watery ice cream, tasteless veloute..which my guest had definately not a cauliflower veloute? Not as I have tasted in other michellin stared restaurants in Edinburgh..then we have the three different charges at the end of the meal? What's going on Gordon..? Bitterly dissapointed in my gift of a 3 course meal for 2...

We visited Gordon Ramsay's Breadstreet restaurant in Edinburgh on a Sunday afternoon, and were seated straight away without a booking. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, bringing water and taking drinks orders after just a few minutes. We ordered the fish & chips, and the Chickpea curry. The wait for our food was brief, and it looked every bit as good as it tasted. The batter on my fish was light and crunchy, and the fish was flaky and delicious. The chips were equally tasty, chunky and crispy. I don't normally like mushy peas but I gave them a go and was pleasantly surprised. I'm still not a convert, but I ate my veg 😁 worthy of special mention was the tartare sauce, which was sharp as it should be, and deep in flavour. My fish & chips were a very reasonable £23, and the Chickpea curry was similarly priced. All in all it was a very enjoyable meal, in a very welcoming environment, not at all pretentious. If you've got children, you'll be delighted to know that kids eat free. Highly recommended.

Food good. Service terrible. It’s a shame nowadays that service is really the difference maker in most restaurants. When going to an establishment like Gordon Ramsay’s, however, you’d expect all the staff to be really well trained in service. I’m not sure if it’s because of things like not being able to hire enough experienced staff for larger establishments shifts anymore, or ever since a service charge has just been added onto the end of bills making service staff generally lazier and less attentive, but it seems across the board service has been appealing at mid-priced restaurants, leaving a sour taste in our mouths. It’s not that anyone was specifically rude or unwelcoming (they definitely weren’t the warmest), however small things that make meals far less enjoyable really make a difference. I ate half of my main meal whilst waiting for a drink that I’d ordered. I tried to follow it up, but I couldn’t get the attention of ANY serving staff no matter how hard I tried. This is DESPITE me noticing my drink waiting for me at the bar, and even watching a bartender tell a member of waiting staff to bring it over. She shrugged, and continued to clean and lay fresh tables next to me - which is odd because it didn’t seem particularly busy so not sure why the rush to turn tables as opposed to servicing customers existed. Eventually, I got up, and walked to the bar and grabbed my own drink. It didn’t stop there, they continued to be inattentive throughout the evening, and when we’d finally had enough and needed to pay, it took us a good 25 minutes to get the attention of someone who would finally get the bill. Despite all this, it still came with a ‘optional gratuity’. Fortunately, my girlfriend was having none of it, and ask them to remove it. The staff did not even care to ask why.

Incredible experience. Steak was lovely and tasty. The only reason I gave 4 stars is due to the fact that steak were very expensive and it comes with literally nothing on the plate but the steak. No veges or anything and you have to pay extra for the sauce which to me was ridiculous enough as surely you would expect to have sauce when you order steak anyway? Id recommend but just be prepared for the bill 😅

If I go to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant I expect Gordon Ramsay's fillet Wellington recipe, this one lacked raw ham. I ask the waiter for an explanation who tells me that it is a century-old recipe and that raw meat doesn't work. I ask the Italian waiter for an explanation who tells me that they don't put it there and that perhaps Ramsay has made a recipe with raw meat for the Italian people. What!? Then he says that maybe it's because they don't put pork in many of their dishes due to the fact that they often have halal customers. Okay, I expect that if I pay 120 pounds for a piece of meat that barely weighs 250 grams to be given an explanation for the fact that the recipe does not reflect that of the chef who proposes it. Or at least I expect it to be known that the fillet Wellington proposed by Gordon Ramsay in every one of his videos has raw ham as an ingredient. The pasta around the fillet was moist and therefore mushy, and when it was transported from the serving dish it fell apart. But the worst thing was the raw pasta on the sides. As an Italian cook I was taught that everything put on the plate must be edible. The fact that the waiter tells me that the ends of the wrapper should not be eaten because they are raw leaves me somewhat perplexed. I don't expect something like this from any restaurant, let alone from a restaurant owned by a multi-starred chef. I honestly don't know if this is the right recipe for fillet Wellington, I don't think so, but 120 euros to have raw pasta on your plate is a steal. The "Ramsay selection" wine is terrible and screw capped. Obviously, the cost should have made me think that it wouldn't be the best, but I believed that the 32 pounds were due to the fact that, being one of his wines, he had and wanted to maintain lower costs. £24 for the service, but you can also have them removed if you want. Honestly, I would ask the customer how much he wants to leave, don't write that if you don't want them you can tell the waiter to take them away. In pubs they make you select the percentage you want to leave, here you should tell the waiter to remove his tip. But really? After paying we waited 2 minutes, standing at the door looking for someone to say hello. Nobody in the dining room, nobody at the bar, nobody in the kitchen. And thank goodness that after paying (you pay at the table via QR code) you want to write to say hello before going. Very bad experience. With the same money you can eat in some Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy and leave satisfied, not in a restaurant bar with exorbitant prices just because it bears the name of a chef, whose recipe for his most iconic dish you don't even follow.

Honestly we were very disappointed! The dressing on the ceasar salad made one of us physically sick afterwards!! The waiter was really backhanded and unfriendly and then basically asked us to tip him extra, on top of the 14£ service charge we paid. Sorry but crouching down and starting with “let me explain the service charge and tipping to you” was just flat out belittling and weird! We also ordered one Whisky and were then quite shocked when the bill arrived and it was 25£. Maybe our fault for not asking, but 25£ for a dram of whisky is a bit outrageous!

Overall it was unfortunately a disappointing and expensive experience. The waiters were nice and the view from the (unfortunately very small table) directly onto St. Andrews Square was great. Unfortunately, those were the positive aspects. We had planned for December 30th. Specially ordered a table for 5 p.m. because a 2 or 3 course holiday menu was offered until 6 p.m. When we arrived on site we were immediately informed that the menu would not be available until January, i.e. during the festive season. In addition, a number of dishes were no longer available at 5 p.m. We still found something and were looking forward to the food. However, the food was overpriced as it was just average. What was also annoying was that a 12.5% ​​tip was added straight away. We like to tip when we like something, but here we wouldn't have given 12.5%. In addition, 1 pound is charged directly for a donation. You can then let us know that you don't want this so that it can be reversed. But who does that? Overall, I don't think it's all that good. In addition, my husband and I both had massive stomach problems after eating (despite different foods). Overall, it was a bit of a letdown for us and we wouldn't recommend the restaurant. There are better and cheaper restaurants in Edinburgh.

The waiters are great, but the food was just average. On top I got serious stomach issues afterwards. In the beginning I thought it happened just because I am not used to Indian food, but my wife was suffering as well and she had a different dish. Further we booked an early dinner, because of the festive menue (2courses for 29£ before 5pm) which was not available and they had no alternative. Therefore we had to choose from the normal (and more expensive) menu. Unfortunately many dishes were also not available. Finally we ended up paying more than 122£ (2 people, 3 courses each, 1 drink each, including a mandatory 12,5% gratitude+1£ volontary donation, which they add without asking and who will ever ask to remove that?) for average food, which was not the choice we wanted + 1 night sitting on the toilet with stomach issues (maybe food poisioning?) Shame on you Mr Ramsay. You won't see us again

Expected more but still very happy. Firstly I should say that this was a New Years Eve menu that was really disappointing. The steak was offered with no vegetables for example and no vegetable sides to add if fancies. I went for scallops. Both came and they were delicious even though after two bites they were gone. I had the venison sausage and mash which I have to say was disappointing. Limited flavour but the wife had the rib eye which was fantastic but at nearly twice the price of the sausage I would expect as much. The dessert of sticky toffee pudding was lovely and the Xmas pudding was like nothing I have ever eaten before, absolutely epic. Service was bang on.

The food was really good but the poor service and price lets it down. On New Year's Eve, we waited half an hour after our booked slot for our table to be ready, and in that time it took 25 minutes to be served at the bar (which was not busy). The table service was also very slow throughout the meal. Although the food was good, it’s massively overpriced for what you get. We've eaten at some fantastic restaurants with great quality produce, for half the price. They also have very poor options for gluten free diners, none of the desserts were gluten free or could be made gluten free and there was no effort to accommodate dietary requirements throughout the meal. For the price being paid, that came as a bit of a surprise. In our experience, more expensive restaurants are usually much more accommodating. Overall it was a good evening but we wouldn’t come again.

We came here for new years ever and were extremely let down. After paying £50 deposit pp were not informed it was a set menu and not the regular menu, resulting in only being one vegetarian option. Our drinks came after our main course, Starters were forgotten about and drinks order incorrect. Our waiter was lovely and apologetic, just let down by the restaurant itself. Would not recommend

Ordered the Idiot sandwich. Pricey at £24 so I was expecting something special. Sandwich was very disappointing- lamb was tough, didn’t finish it. Sandwich was overpriced, even if the meat had been edible.

No WOW factor.... We expected much more from a restaurant from the "iron chef"... The food was tasty. But £42 for a bare steak on your plate without sides is extremely disappointing... The service forgot the sides I asked for after seeing my almost empty plate. And coffee without a cookie or chocolate is pretty sad... Paying via a QR code is also strange... especially in such a renowned restaurant... In short, the food was good, but the experience was very disappointing... For the same money, there are more than enough alternatives on the same square...

We on December 25th So to speak, for four people on site for Christmas dinner. We had booked weeks in advance for which a £200 deposit was booked. If you go here you should probably try the Beef Wellington. We had. All something different. The burger was at the highest level of McDonald's. I had a bratwurst with puree, which was OK, but that's what you'd expect for £28. The portions were sometimes very small. So the price/performance ratio doesn't fit here at all. The service was friendly but overwhelmed. The noise level was enormous. The shop was full and overall it was more of a stressful mass processing than a nice Christmas meal. There are much better restaurants in Edinburgh where you get significantly more quality for your money. In total we came to 280 for 4 people including 20% ​​service charge. Not recommended. Too bad. ☹️

Expected the food to be better. My son had a pit in his sticky toffee pudding. The beef Wellington was slightly dry and one piece sliced was just puff pastry and mushrooms. My husband ordered the Ramsay roast with the Yorkshire pudding and that was very good!

Came here for Christmas day & and I absolutely loved it! Staff were fantastic, the food was delicious, and for a 3 course meal, it was reasonably priced as well. Would definitely come back on another Edinburgh visit! Many thanks again for having us!

I can assure you I can do a beef in the bbq better than the one I ate at this restaurant. The mash potatoe was not natural, it was instant. The salad was without any dressing. Tooo expensive. I’m not recommending this place to anybody.

We enjoyed Christmas lunch here with beautiful food and fantastic service. Thanks to Ollie for his wonderful service, helping us feel special despite it being a busy lunch service for Christmas. We would come back if returning to Edinburgh!

Quality of the food is top. However, there were two of us at a table that was much too small and right next to it the staff served another large table. It was far too narrow and we were disturbed while eating. Sometimes we had the service people's asses in our food. Too bad.

One word: Overestimating. Everything is literally in the middle quality and everything is ok. Nothing more. Even from a world wide chef, you expect really better things, but just no.

It was lunchtime and we wanted to sit at the window upstairs, there was almost nothing going on. The answer was no: the tables at the window were all reserved. We had a view of the window the whole time and only one table was occupied at the window. Food was just okay, the dishes had little taste and not serving rice with a curry and having to pay an extra 5 euros for it? For the price you can definitely eat better. Also not much for vegetarians.

Overated. Food ok but nothing special. To be honest, a dissapointing experience given the Ramsey name being attached to it. As constructive feedback, snd as restaurant owners ourselves, when serving wine at £70 a bottle, its just not good enough to expect customers to cool it in their ice bucket. The other issue is the state of the toilets. Ok for the Toby Carvery but no locks on toilet doors for the sake of £7 for a new lock just isnt good enough. Wont be back after a £400 bill.

The food was delicious but when I asked for the receipt/check the waiter did not ask if i wanted to pay the *optional* 12.5% service charge and when he brought my change it was not the full amount. Its a good thing that i checked my change amount

Nice setting but horrible fish and chips! Undercooked fries, overcooked and not crispy frozen fish....in short, if you come in for the gastronomy, go your way. The atmosphere is cool. The waitress a little dry and probably tired but it happens!

The Doric is well placed and near to Waverley Station. The restaurant was warm and welcoming with a nice ambiance. We had fish & chips, the batter was lovely and crispy and it was a huge portion. We chose chocolate cheesecake for dessert to share. It didn’t come with cream or ice cream so we ordered a scoop of vanilla ice cream as we found it quite heavy. I think this should have come along with the cheesecake rather than being an extra £3.15. That said the prices were reasonable enough and the staff were very attentive.

Fui a cenar para la cena de cumpleaños de mis compañeros. Nos atendieron por un hombre muy amable y atento miembro del personal con gafas (lo siento no cogió nombre). La comida era muy sabrosa y no tuvimos que esperar mucho entre platos. Tomé un delicioso martini expreso. También tuvo una agradable sorpresa al pagar la cuenta ya que las comidas de cumpleaños son gratis. Así que literalmente pagamos la mitad de lo que debería haber sido la cuenta. Ambiente cálido. Volveré.

I wanted to love this Indian street food spot, it had a cool vibe, smelled great, laid back and great soundtrack. But the food was tasteless. First, while they promote the Bombay sapphire gin, they simply won’t make their also advertised gin martini out of it, even for an up-charge. I rolled and took their version which was a citrusy lime affair, when everyone who matters knows gin martinis are meant to be served dirty and with olives. Maybe that’s the New York girl in me, but moving on, the Papadam had not an ounce of cumin, seed or powder, just puffed dough. Similarly, the Haka noodles were mush and honestly tasted like nothing except maybe vinegar. Maybe the mains are better, but I’d try your luck elsewhere. My 3 purchased items are all going back mostly untouched.
