Crombies of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We went for dinner on Friday and it was a lovely experience. We had a Virgin Experience Voucher as a gift for our anniversary to use so we had to book via email - no issues there, staff was super prompt with their reply. If you have the voucher just note that it might be a 3 course meal within a timeframe (we went there at 5pm). The restaurant is really nice and the staff was caring and lovely! I didn’t take any photos but the wings, steak, and lamb ribs on the set menu were excellent. Highly recommend. We also had a chocolate brownie with ice cream that was a real warm treat.

Long wait for drinks, didn't get offered any refills during our 2 hour visit, tried to flag down waiter and eventually got an order in but then had to cancel them as took so long to arrive. Plates not cleared until we asked for this either. We only managed to get one course in. We wanted dessert but everything took so long we ran out of time. Food wasn't great, especially for the price. Steak beautiful but fish and chips not good. Mushy peas were stone cold on the Fish & chips, chips hard and not soft centered - seemed undercooked. Fish batter wasn't crispy it was wet and almost slimy. Curry was OK but not wow.

Excellent food,stunning Sicilian spritz,great service!

Good but expensive. I had the fish and chips and while it was great, I’ve had similar for less.

Nice place, but the staff is sometimes a little unprepared. Not excellent cuisine, as one would expect from the brand and the bill.

One of our party had fish and chips. This was good to be fair. However two of the party wanted to try the chickpea and aubergine curry. It was awful . There was no aubergine only chickpea and carrots. It was very watery and the naan bread was stale. To say I was shocked is an understatement. I’ve had better at weatherspoons. Veggie food should not be second best. I didn’t complain on the day as I always think it comes across that we want a freebie. That is not the case. I emailed feedback to the chef and asked for a response. I didn’t get one which is why I’m completing this.

Ordered the butter chicken curry was most disappointed. Portion was tiny. Tasted okay but very similar to an M & S ready meal. Restaurant was practically empty- will not be going back

After a wonderfully transformative experience at Gordon's Kansas City Steakhouse stateside, my sister and I wanted to make our last night in Edinburgh special by dining here. Unfortunately we were left disappointed. At £90 per person for the Beef Wellington experience, we felt there were some huge misses on the offerings, but especially so on the overcooked (hard in fact) pastry surrounding the Beef Wellington. The saddest part fell on the inattentive service in obtaining drinks. I won't be back to Scotland for a while, but should I go, I'd be hard pressed to return here. I felt this experience was average at best, certainly not befitting the expectations and costs attached.

Outstanding food and service. We arrived without reservations and were greeted and accommodated with welcoming smiles.

Amazing food and service. Very fun atmosphere

Great food , great food service, thanks Ellie!

on our 5th trip - food is always delicious. The Beef wellington is extra special.

I paid attention to this restaurant only because they have blankets on the summer area. We just wanted to have coffee, but it was closed. Later we came for lunch. I call this type of place a special occasion place. When we arrived, I didn’t expect anything from this place, I just wrapped myself in a blanket, we were the only ones sitting on the summer terrace. I liked the service and the food too. We ate ribs and lasagna. My friend and I were pleased, this place was the main event of that day. I recommend it, I would come back again. For me the atmosphere is very important. The only negative is the 12.5 percent service charge, which I did not expect.

Our waitress cholesterol was absolutely phenomenal along with the food. Crab toast was my favourite. Thanks guys

Porterhouse steak = perfection x 10 highly recommended as we’re all other dishes.

Thank you for great service and a great meal . The idiot sandwich is fantastic

Took my partner for Sunday lunch & all I can say is WOW I had corn fed chicken which was possibly the best tasting chicken I have eaten , the vegetable were absolutely cooked to perfection. My partner had the beef & she was blown away how tasty the vegetables were & she loved the beef. Our waiter was Alastair who was excellent, very polite & curtious (if you read this Gordon he deserves a pay rise ) Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh & your looking for great food & amazing staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have eaten here two times during the Fringe Festival and have been able to get a table with no waiting time. The cocktails are very good as is the food. Tried both the set menu and a la carte.

Brand Damaging Experience. Having recently enjoyed a faultless dining experience at Ramsey's The River restaurant, at the Savoy, we were keen to enjoy the same standard at this restaurant in Edinburgh, but the difference was like night and day! We were served bland coffee and orange juice that we could see being served from a carton... surely £7.50 for a glass of OJ warrants freshly squeezed rather than a tetra packed delivery. My wife ordered a full Scottish breakfast, which was not full as there were items missing - I won't even describe the lack of care that went into preparing the eggs. The server did ask if we would like something else - but why would we have more of the same? Very disappointed. If the staff need some ideas of how to improve - maybe they should watch an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.

We visited Bread Street Kitchen after a day of Festival fun. We had our 2 x 4 legged pals with us and decided to ask if we could sit outside with our pets to have some dinner. Front of House young lady explained that our pals were more than welcome to enter the restaraunt with us to have our dinner. We were ushered to a nice table and the dogs were immediately given water and 2 doggy biscuits. The menu was clear, reasonably priced with a good range of dishes to suit anyone. We had classic fish n chips and a tasty cod in red wine jus. Followed by fabulous classic sticky toffee pudding and delicious scoops of ice cream. The service we received was fast, friendly and such nice manners from all the staff. Definitely highly reccomend a visit to enjoy the vibe and food with your family, friends and pets.

Excellent food, attentive service

What lovely way to spend your Sunday arvo. We really enjoyed the food, service and experience, thank you 😊

Professional, friendly staff. Lovely food, nice menu with great veggie options. Would recommend.

Absolutely amazing! We were really looking forward to finally trying Gordon Ramsay's beef wellington, and it did not disappoint ! I think the sticky toffee pudding stole the show though. A must try for sure. My wife and I planned this trip from Canada to Scotland for years to celebrate our 25th, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect dining experience . From the food to the service, it was all great! Thanks to all the staff for making our special evening one to remember.

Wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

Beautiful restaurant with great location. Was seated promptly and staff were friendly. Drinks and apps were excellent and tasty. However, 3 of the 4 main meals arrived cold, including steak , which was also very tough, chips undercooked. Overall was expensive for quality received.

Excellent dishes. Good atmosphere. Pleasant staff. View of a large kitchen which does not lack entertainment.

Service by original waiter was lackluster. He never brought my Caesar salad until I asked for it. Glass of champagne came late, after salad. When main was served, did not have bernaise or the red wine glass ordered. Had to ask for them. The potatoes on the side were dry. The restaurant was only half filled at 7 pm. The ribeye was cooked to order but a bit tough. Overall, a disappointment at $140 Americans for one.

Was looking forward to visiting here on our latest trip to Edinburgh, surely a restaraunt that Gordon Ramsay has put his name to must be good..... Uum unfortunately not!!! Burrata starter OK, but you can't really go wrong with that, Haggis starter looked like a 5 year old had made it, burnt and looked unappealing with no garnish, ribs for main again not a hard dish to do but quite flavourless and not much sauce. Now this is where it gets interesting, potted crab main course with crumpets which we expected to be hand made, they were bloody Warburtons!!! £28 for a pot of crab, 2 warburtons crumpets and 3 pickled gherkins, you're having a laugh..... Desert sticky toffee pudding, run of the mill, gluten free choice chocolate cup with sorbet, OK but was expected to eat it without a spoon because they'd run out of spoons..... As you can guess we won't be returning!!!

Fab food and service with lovely view

The service is impeccable! Jason was informed and helpful beyond expectation. The fish and chips were delicious as was the cheesecake and pistachio ice cream. The atmosphere was fun yet calm. We will definitely return.

Great time,Great food, first meal in Edinburgh!!

Good fish and chips. Well executed.

Our server Alistair was fantastic!

Visited restraunt so disappointing. Butter chicken curry was delicious however it looked more like a starter. Asked for more rice and was charged another £4 making this £25 in total not good value for money. Service was not the best.

Empty restaurant that is not taking walk-ins.

Great full breakfast. Haggis for breakfast? Um yes.

We had a group cocktail master class hosted by Ben. Ben was a brilliant host - very informative and lots of fun. Would definitely recommend the Bread Street kitchen and bar. Thank you Ben - you were great.

We had a very disappointing beef wellington here. The only redeeming features were the pleasant service by the staff and the mashed potato. I regret saving this place for last -- literally any other meal we've had on our trip would have been a better meal to end on. I had disregarded the bad reviews thinking they were more about the price than the taste, but unfortunately I was wrong.

First time here, and even though the dish I ordered wasn’t my personal favourite, all the other food especially the ribs (!) were amazing and we had the best service experience from our waitress Nahla. When we had to admit the dish I ordered wasn’t the best she was really kind and took it off the bill. The good atmosphere & great service really made our dinner a great experience!

Gorgeous food, brilliant service

Rains like nuts in Edinburgh. Coat rack so you don’t have to sit with soaked coats.

Plenty of attention/assurance throughout our meal. The food quality was magnificent. If we are in the city again, we would not hesitate to visit again. Well done to the staff!

I had made a reservation for this restuarant and was excited to try out the food. I was very disappointed though. I showed up at my reservation time and had to wait to even speak to a host/hostess. Nobody was at front of house. It took about 5 minutes to get someone's attention and when we were seated the person basically tossed the menus on the table and didn't say a word. So far, not great, but whatever, it happens. We waited for 15 minutes for a waiter/waitress to take our drink order, but nobody ever showed up. We had decided on our entrees at that point and still had seen multiple people walk right by our table. Looking around it wasn't very busy and everyone within eyesight had food already. Anytime I saw an employee with was them cleaning off a table. After not having drinks/water after 15 minutes I decided to leave. I even walked by an employee on the way out and they didnt even bother to stop me. It was a pretty bad expereience and I expect better when I'm going to be paying premium prices for food.

Fabulous just fabulous food was delicious xx and very reasonable

I can't rate this place highly enough. The food was excellent and worth the price, so much selection and the cocktails were fantastic. Rafael and our server Chris were just so attentive and friendly. I mentioned my garlic intolerance and Chris made sure to find out which dishes were safe etc. Also as I was celebrating my 40th birthday, I was treated so wonderfully and got little special treats to mark to occasion. It really is the little things that count and I will certainly be going back x

The meal was excellent! What struck me...the one palm tree next to table thirty doesn't look so happy! Thanks for the great service!

Great experience here. Food is top notch. The buttered spinach was divine and the service superb.

Amazing place, food fabulous, service outstanding..thank you

Came for a birthday dinner and had a wonderful meal. Callie our waitress was very good and super down to earth. Something to note if you’re not from Europe, dinner is viewed as a whole evening event here. It’s meant to take time, chat, and enjoy. It’s not a rushed meal. The haggis bites are a great way to get a reluctant person to try haggis and the sticky toffee pudding was perfection.

The haggis bon bons were amazing as was the sticky toffee pudding! Callie was our waitress and she was really great!

Very enjoyable meal and atmosphere

It is very bad choice - if you know how to cook at home you would be disappointed . Basic food basic deco - GORDON time to give a visit - is needed asap . I work in hospitality and I have to say - BIG CHANGE is needed there . People come with expectation and leaving forever .

Friendly and helpful staff. A special mention for Alessandra who assisted us excellently. Very nice location in front of St Andrew Sq. Good food, adequate prices. The free meal initiative for children is excellent

The only good think on the table was ketchup

Really great food and 10/10 service. There was a slight issue with my partners main, and the waiter, Rafael, made sure to rectify the situation. Very grateful for him and all the other staff.

We went for lunch with the kids ,location very impressive food super and a mention for the Alessandra that make our stay very pleasant.

I went there to eat by chance, I found delicious food and friendly staff, I was welcomed very well by Alessandra who I will return for her too

Thank you to everyone at the restaurant especially our server who surprised my son with a "happy birthday" piece of cake! Made it even more special!

Amazing service as always from Ellie, she really looked after us and made our lunch one to remember! Will be back again soon!

Had a fantastic lunch at bread street kitchen. Food was delicious, the venue is fabulous and Ellie’s service was wonderful. We’ll be back for dinner! 😍

Great meal and service! We were delighted to be able to bring in our dog too who was treated brilliantly too. Our waitress, Alessandra, was a delight as well!

Really enjoyed our meal and service was great from Alistair, he was excellent!!! We had the haggis bon bons and burgers which were really good. Great night, highly recommend!

The food was incredible and the place was very beautiful. In addition, they have treated us very well, thank you Rafael for your attention and for taking care of every detail.

Another excellent experience! Fish and chips, the lasagna, tasteful! And the toffee pudding was from outer world!!!

Superb and excellent, just perfect

Food was poor. Cod bites had more chewy batter than cod. Flat iron steaks - ordered rare, medium rare and medium to well done all came looking the same. M to WD sent back and arrived back at table a couple of minutes later! Could hardly cut the steak, never mind chew it.

Was gifted this & it did not disappoint, the venue is lovely & the food served by our attentive waitress Callie Pearmund was delicious.I would definitely recommend . The virgin voucher experience offer was really good value for money.

The beef Wellington is worth all name and fame, every food and drinks were delicious.

Excellent service and great ambiance! We got the beef Wellington experience and it was worthwhile. Highly recommended! We are fans of the Master Chef Gordon Ramsey!

Wicked but WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUCE?!🔥😩😩

Favourite weekend meal in Edinburgh, great service from Callie and great food from the chefs!

Came in for a drink Saturday, sadly they had no draft beer but Ben from the bar was quick to recommend one from their bottle selection. My partner enjoyed a couple cocktails especially the watermelon fizz, I even enjoyed it! We also had some bar snacks, the wings are amazing

We booked about two weeks in advance, for our first wedding anniversary, to try the famous Beef Wellington and Scottish Haggis. Our reservation was at 8pm. The restaurant, despite being quite large and with 70% empty tables, placed us at a table under the spiral staircase instead of placing us on the upper floor with the tables overlooking the park (they were almost all empty). The waiter immediately tells us that they don't have all the dishes and they didn't actually have the Haggis and the Filet Wellingtono, they had run out of them; he tells us that we should have indicated on the booking form that we wanted the Wellington but it didn't say anywhere that we should have booked it. I didn't believe that in a restaurant owned by an important chef there was a risk that the dishes would run out. Much to our disappointment we take other dishes including a meat fillet and a hamburger. Both were "Ok", nothing special. The fillet was a normal fillet that I could have found in less expensive restaurants and the burger was not inviting, bread too soft, burger nothing special as well as the sauces. The gins were good. The service was normal service, they made us wait a while for some meatballs because they had problems in the kitchen. The waiter was kind throughout the dinner and quite present. They made us wait a while to be seated. Ultimately we were very disappointed because we had come for two dishes that weren't there. The table reserved for us was under the stairs and the price was high for what we ate (around £155). For much less in Edinburgh you can find better burgers, warmer environments and typical dishes. We will not return and do not recommend.

Top marks to our server Nahla, with her genuine smile and attentiveness whilst dining at the restaurant…thought the warm welcome was only for us dining, but watching her interact with other diners was such a pleasure from one so young.Makes such a difference to feel connected , especially as an Edinburgh resident who dines out three or four times a week to know that Scottish hospitality is in abundance from all the staff, especially Nahla at this establishment. Well done Nahla, being in the service industry myself it is so so lovely to see this reflected by you.

Our experience at his restaurant fell short of expectations. The delay in receiving our food exceeded 2 hours, and we were disappointed to learn that the establishment had run out of our preferred drinks. When the food finally arrived, it was cold. This lack of attention to detail and poor customer service does not align with the image he projects on TV and is unacceptable for any business owner.

I was super excited to Bread Street Kitchen. Loved the menu selections but found our service and food to be mediocre. The wagyu meatball was dry and tough, it was difficult to cut through. Not at all what I expected. And the crumpet under the crab appetizer was so dry it seemed stale and flavourless. And way too thick for the skimpy amount of crab on top. The proportions seemed off. Service was basic and nothing special when I said the meal was just ok - there was no response. Also 6 pounds for still water! Wow. The only thing I can recommend is the sticky toffee pudding. It was dreamy.

Food was good except for the burnt chocolate fondant service was very rushed and seemed forced

Everything was good, especially for the reasonable price and beautiful dining area.

Was so excited to try this place and then we went. Beautiful restaurant. Got sat literally in the back corner because our daughter was with us. It took 25 minutes to get a drink order- which was beer (on tap), water and one glass of champagne. The restaurant at this point was almost empty when we entered. A family of four had almost FINISHED their food by the time we go out drinks. The food was all in all pretty good. My husband loved his sandwich- the idiot sandwich. We didn’t like the saffron rice. Gluten free options are not ideal here. Overall, it was lack luster and a bit overpriced. Probably will not go back or dine in another location.

I went to the restaurant for a belated birthday dinner with my partner. Our waiter Chris did an excellent job with service and checked that we had everything we needed. The food was excellent, was hot when it arrived and came timeously. The presentation was lovely. The only possible fault I can give is perhaps the atmosphere/decor of the restaurant, where it falls a bit short compared to competitors in the area.

Great service and really nice food

Amazing dinner, food was really good and Sylwia made us feel special.I'll definitely recommend 👌.

Dined this evening,had the portherhouse steak to share. Absolutely incredible !!! Food was spot on,service faultless and amazing,atmosphere ? I really loved the vibe even though you could see how insanely busy the restaurant was. The chef on the pass in front of the grill,Ben I believe his name was,really focused was great to watch a kitchen team be commanded so brilliantly. Would deffo go back !!!

Went there for dinner a days ago, food was amazing and staff very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend this place!

Gabriel and the team were amazing, friendly warm atmosphere and the food was great

Fantastic menu, staff and ambience, loved our visit and certainly will be back

Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares First and foremost I would like to say I'm a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay but this has got to be the worst meal I've had in a long, long while. We were given a voucher as a Christmas present for a 3 course meal for 2. When we arrived it was explained to us that if we would prefer we could swap the set menu for a £44 spend for the 2 of us off the a la carte menu. As absolutely nothing was jumping out at us from either the set menu or a la carte we decided to have 6 starters between us as a sort of tapas. Worst decision ever! The spicy cauliflower bites weren't spicy and as dry as sticks, the crab and avocado on toast was straight out the fridge and stone cold so no flavour at all to the dish, the scallops were cold and overcooked sitting in some congealed sauce, the haggis bon bons were overcooked, the wagyu meatballs were tasteless and the mac and cheese, although had a lovely consistency, was entirely bland, definitely needed a spot more dijon mustard or some applewood cheese to give it flavour. A glass of wine each and with the automatically added 12.5% service charge we were nearly £100. I had to point out to remove the £44 voucher price and remove the service charge as we prefer giving it as cash. Not once did our server ask us if we enjoyed our meal.The dishes sat heavy in my stomach for the entire night and we had to stop off for some ice cream to try to remove the greasy feeling from our lips. Mr Ramsay I expect better from something you deem worthy of your name!

All of our food was spectacular! Our daughter devoured her burger and our son thought the pasta was the best ever 😂. Service was outstanding, everyone was so pleasant.

I ordered the crab on toast - delectable. For my main, I got the 10oz rib-eye with the bearnaise sauce. Each bite was awesome and I never wanted the steak to end! I finished the night with sticky toffee pudding - a classic. Highly recommend this place!!

Nylah (hope that’s how you spell it?!) was an excellent hostess. Checked on us at all the right times, was the very sweetest of servers and made our night. Our food was incredible but it was the service that made our night. Thank you for a great evening.

Server took 10 minutes to acknowledge us. 3 menu items (which we wanted) were not available. Took server a half hour after several signals and being ignored, to come back to table for a second drink order Definitely not the type of service provided by Canadian servers. For 165 pounds I certainly expected more of a Ramsay restaurant.

We had a voucher for the Sunday roast at this restaurant, as fans of Gordon Ramsay we were looking forward to this and were not disappointed! The roast dinner was cooked to perfection, very good portion sizes, staff were very friendly too!

We had a lot of hopes with this one and we were expecting a better meal for the price we paid.. For the amount of money we spent we left very underwhelmed. We have paid slightly more money for michellin star meals in the past and this was priced fairly high but for what we paid for it was an average meal. The food itself was ok and not poor to the point I would complain at all but again the cost versus the quality didn't stack up for me. I would have had the same experience eating at TGI Fridays for a quarter of the price. Plus side, staff were friendly.

Irene made our visit very special. Food was out of this world.

Excellent food. Sticky Toffee Pudding always amazing

It’s like a culinary explosion in the mouth!! Went with our kids, the experience was fantastic… and the ribs, steak, burgers and appies were phenomenal… other than the ridiculous amounts of rain in Scotland, the day was magical. Oh, and the cocktails were wonderful.

Beautiful place, great and fast service, and delicious food.

Popped in for something light to eat and coffee today about 1hour ago. The male member of staff advised us he would be back with a menu, after we chose a high seated window table. 10 minutes later a female member of staff told us we would be served shortly and another few minutes passed before another female member of staff appeared. No menu, no smiles and no pleasantries. Absolutely dreadful and blights Gordon Ramsays name. Personally, will never go to another, with chef Ramsays name above the door!!.

Avoid! Mediocre overpriced food and awful service - it was painfully slow and the waiter rolled his eyes at us when we pointed out one of the dishes was only half cooked.
