Le Petit Beefbar in Edinburgh, City of

I really can't fault anything after our visit. The food was fantastic, the staff were attentive, friendly, the atmosphere was great, live music too. Loved it

Restaurant right next to the intercontinental. Excellent steakhouse, I recommend

Good food and atmosphetr. They add their own service charge of 12.5% on the total which I am not very fond of and not suiting.

The service was initially too slow but once they remembered I was there things improved and I liked that they made recommendations. I got three small plates and the quality was very good - including the best bao buns I've ever had. The bar atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. It was quite pricey.

Great food,service and atmosphere!!

Ended up taking up our wonderful waiter Fin on his recommendations and he did not disappoint one bit . With all fairness the marbled wagu steak I can honestly say was one of the best I’ve ever had during all my travels across the globe and the traditional mash was a meal by itself . Ending the dinner with the French toast was a great finale to an exceptional experience . Keep up the good work .

Maria was an amazing person, the professionalism from her was great. Food and drinks were explained in detail. Thank you Maria

The meat was beautifully prepared, a wonderful treat for the palate, excellent service… Great cuisine, great chef, wish you all the best for the opening of the new branch in NY.

Lovely food and wine and very friendly service. It was quite quiet in there which is why the atmosphere score is not higher. The toilets are miles away from the restaurant which I guess is because it’s part of an hotel but is slightly odd.

Might have just had the best Cesar salad ever! It had kobe beef that they made into crispy flakes. At first I thought it was bacon or prosciutto but nope. Kobe beef. Delish!

The Food was amazing, especially the baby quesadillas, simply spectacular. The soufflé and the cheesecake were a must try. However the highlight of the experience was the service. I would like to say a massive thank you to Maria who was very kind and polite and helpful for us. Even when we had asked her a weird question about whether we could buy the emoji plates that the food was served on, she was was very helpful and didn’t criticize us.

Beautiful and delicious, its atmosphere and service are excellent. I recommend it, but its price is a bit high

Excellent service put you at easestraight away and explained the menu in detail.food was fantastic.will be back very soon.jamie

Amazing Sunday Roast. Great to be able to share between family, friends and couples. We have one beef roast and one chicken roast and both were cooked perfectly.

We have been in the UK for two weeks and tonight we had dinner at Le Petit Beef bar and it was the best meal we have had in the entire trip. It was exceptional quality and the presentation was excellent.

The service was outstanding! Attentive, everything arrived quickly without feeling rushed and very nice staff. The food was amazing, highly recommend the signature sauce with the steak frites. The ice cream for two dessert was absolutely delicious, generous and beautifully presented. Beautiful place, a bit on the loud side but that's to be expected on a saturday night. Would recommend this place for sure!

The service is always second to none here. Knowledgeable and really lovely, helpful staff who seem invested in you enjoying your evening. You are never rushed and the food is always delicious and well presented.

We were tourist in the area, and we were craving some steaks, found here without booking, but they were very kind letting us seating in the bar area. We had signature NY and fritis, sauteed mushrooms, seasoning veggies. Everything was great and well seasoned! Recommended!

We went for dinner for our friend’s birthday. What a wonderful evening. Service first class, food exceptional. Would highly recommend the quesadillas as a starter and the steaks were so tender and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Excellent pub menu, delicious meat good service, beautiful setting in International Edinburgh, first we dined at the restaurant. The last day of our trip we stopped over at the pub bar for a drink , which dad the same menu as the restaurant we end up dining again ☺️

Family Birthday celebrations, excellent good and service🥂 Stayed at Hotel as well, truly a wonderful place to stay and fine dining in Edinburgh 😎Alan

Fabulous 👌 Expensive but the food is superb. Great choice of starters, main course and desserts. One of the best steaks I've had, the chicken dishes were succulent too. Must be one of the best eateries in Edinburgh. Highly recommend

Cooked to the perfection we would have anticipated for a steak house with such a good world wide reputation.

Bar with 12.5% service charge which is a lot of money to watch waiters standing at the bar ignoring you

We are staying at the Intercontinental Hotel and the concierge there is awesome, we mentioned we were in the mood for a steakhouse and he recommended we try this spot. Right from the get go the experience was awesome we were able to sit right down we walked in around 5:30pm. We started with the mini burgers, then I had the filet with peppercorn crust and she had the Wagu, also got all of the sauces on the side to try. There wasn’t one bite of food left when we were done everything was outstanding. Also had the spicy tequila drink if you like a spicy cocktail it’s a must try. If I was back in the area and wanted a steakhouse I would highly recommend this spot!

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Attentative server, Food was first class and really tasteful. Saw the work carried out by my son who installed the electrical works in the bar and restaurant. Great decor and surroundings would highly recommend visiting the Le Petit Beef Bar

Very laid back atmosphere in a beautiful setting. All the food was very good quality.

Service outside does not exist....dont stop if you are very hungry

Great service. My flank steak wasn’t cooked as I ordered and without having the time to say anything , I was told another flank steak was on the way (on the house) . The service was impeccable. The place looks nice, clean and cosy. I strongly recommend it.

Excellent Sunday Roast and dog friendly!

Excellent dinner option! Wonderful food, very friendly service and the place is very beautiful!

I wanted to love this place but the food was very over seasoned. Also, a bunch of my friends fell out of the tin and the person bringing the food didn’t address it or offer to bring more. The steak was well cooked but so salty I couldn’t taste anything else (including the pepper sauce I ordered with it) Additionally the rock corn was so salty I had to stop eating it.

Service was impeccable. The food, however, was not. I ordered the “ultimate smash burger” which was very dry and solid for what was advertised as a “smash” burger. The steak was fine, but the pepper sauce tasted more like bbq sauce. We also had the baby quesadillas which again were fine but absolutely not worth the price, KFC chicken was also overcooked. If it hadn’t been for the service provided by the waiters and this review relied solely on the quality of the food it would have been a one star.

We had a lovely time! Started at the bar for a few mocktails and then headed to the restaurant. The food was great. I would really recommend the jambon d’entrecote which was simply amazing! if you go for the steak frites, the petit beefbar sauce is great and the meat is lovely. We had a NY strips and honestly, just great! We shared a chocolate souffle for the dessert and again, it was lovely. Slighlty disappointed that there was no cheese option, but overall, we had a great time!

Do not go to this restaurant if you are celebrating. We went and were asked to keep the noise down by the rude manager. Very disappointed and expected better after attending many times before ! We won’t be back !

Excellent menue, good choices, tasty steak, good portion, freindly staff, nice decore, excellent venue indeed.

Good reception, quick follow-up of orders and receipt of food and drink

We went for dinner on our last night in Edinburgh and I was really surprised by the quality of the food and the great service. The food was 10 and I will definitely repeat if I return to the city.

Steak is fine, but nothing too fancy Service not so good, had to wait over 45 min for a steak to be served, at wrong temperature Atmosphere is nice, wine selection is good Overall ok but overrated

The food is very delicious. The best thing was the Japanese steak. It melts in the mouth.

We love the venue. Lovely classy feel to it. I was looking forward to the normal steak and frites but since the menu change the presentation of the dish was different. The steak I asked for was medium rare and it came barely pink. Lovely flavours, just a bit disappointing. Staff were lovely , especially loved the American female bar tender. At times, the restaurant staff gave us information overload and it was hard to reply to them, have space. Other than that, it was a nice night out

We had an amazing time! The food was outstanding! Best fillet steak ive ever had and i choose it often! We even got complementary Prosecco as it was their birthday! Lovely attentive staff too

It was my daughters graduation dinner. This says a lot for our emotional condition. It was good but the group next to us was shouting and really not behaving well. Nice menu, service could be faster. But try it.

Went for other half birthday. Got nothing special for the occasion. Compulsory 12.5% tip for ridiculous prices. £95 steak asked for medium and was well done around the edges. Full of tourists would not go back

Outstanding food and service. Every course was delicious. Waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. We will definitely be back.

OMG! Just had the center cut ribeye and after 57 years of being on this planet and visiting many many fine steakhouses, this is the absolute best piece of meat I have ever had! My wife had the veal and wagyu pappardelle and we had this 45 day aged prosciutto / mozzarella sandwich thing as an appetizer and it was all amazing! Great service by Kendyl and Olane as well!

Really enjoyed our dinner. The service was good and the food was very tasty, each bite was full with delicious flavours. The restaurant is in very nice historical building. We definitely would come back.

Finally I have found a top top quality steak in Edinburgh ! We have been disappointed many times In our search but Le petit beef bar is just amazing ! From the quality of staff and service , to the decor to the wonderful menu and most importantly the quality of the meat is was a wonderful wonderful experience. Moussa and his staff should be very proud they treated us well wonderfully and our family visiting from Brazil (where top quality meat is very common ) we’re blown away too. We 100 percent will be back. Ps the truffle mash is to die for ♥️

My father had a food poisoning at this restaurant. Me and my mother feel nauseous. I am livid as this was a special occasion for my family. You would not expect it from this kind of place. DO NOT come here. Reply: my father, who felt the worst after, had his full meal at the restaurant - please confirm this with the waiters before posting the message. Thank you for providing the email address. I will be writing an email shortly.

One of the nicest places to dine in Edinburgh highly recommend

I completely recommend the Sunday roast! We went for my boyfriend's birthday and we will come back again for sure. Great service, amazing food, and lovely music. 10/10

This was one of the unexpected highlights from our trip to Edinburgh. We had the Burger Bomb and the Paradise Pepper Filet. They were both delicious. Our server was nice and respectful, but they seemed to be slightly understaffed. Definitely recommend.

One of the best eating experiences in Edinburgh. Firstly, the food is fresh and delicious, and for me it is one of the best Beef Bar branches I have eaten in🤤. The salads are very delicious, the steak and fries are also delicious. The place is elegant, elegant and clean. The service is fantastic💖 Unfortunately, we did not take the honorable host’s name, but he was really nice. With us and with the children, he was professional and keen to explain all our needs and made an exceptional effort to show us the halal dishes from the menu 🌟👏🏼

Nice enough but very overpriced and lacking quality in comparison to other steak restaurants in Edinburgh. Ribeye was surprisingly dull in flavour and when adding a little sauce it was then all you could taste. Decent cocktails and wine and service was good. Live music/singers is a nice touch but let down by poor sound quality of the speakers or microphones. If you want a good ‘high-end’ steak, stick with Kyloe, Hawksmoor, or even the Dakota Hotel.

It’s wrong to order a burger at a steakhouse but their “burger bomb” really is THE BOMB 💣 ! Top notch place, top notch people, top notch service 🙌

Really lovely Sunday lunch. Very accessible for wheelchair users.

I spent my birthday dinner at Le Petit Beefbar. Great decision to do so! Service was excellent, wine was delicious and the food was the best I’ve had since arriving in Edinburgh. Highly recommend!

Steak was excellent the starter was good good service

The best steak in Edinburgh , we absolutely loved our dining experience. The tacos and KFC were brilliant starters. The chateaubriand with pepper sauce and fries was the highlight paired with an awesome full bodied Malbec. 10/10 and the French toast was perfect. The staff was so considerate and attentive. We will be back for another special occasion.

Everything was great. Steaks were perfect.

Food and service were good, only one small complaint. We were visiting for my partners birthday (stated on the booking) and I had also called ahead to request a birthday desert which we did not receive.

We had an excellent meal at Le Petit Beefbar with our family! We had a selection of sharing platters and sides dishes that were amazing! Our waiter Alistair looked after us with great humour and patience, and contributed to making a fantastic evening. He explained to us details of the dishes and the wine available! The desserts were delicious and the sorbets exceptional. A fantastic memorable evening!

Fancy restaurants in fancy hotels can be hit or miss. Le Petit Beefbar is definitely a hit. The cocktail list had great selections (including a full set of mocktails), and individual liquors of various sorts were also available. The wine list was extensive without being too much to process. LPB works from a shared plate philosophy, both for starters and for mains (e.g., a beef rib-eye carved in slices so that all can have some). We'd had a late lunch for our party of five, so we went with four starters and a medium-sized main, with a side. That was the perfect amount. (We also then added dessert, which was fine, too.) Food imagination and quality was quite good. Service was attentive and fun. Ambience was pleasant and elegant. Net-net, the whole thing was pretty pricey (around 50 GBP a piece), but we thought it was worth it. And though it was very convenient (especially in a rainstorm) to dine there as we were staying at the George, I'd make an effort to return on a future stay in Edinburgh.

Treated a friend to lunch here for her birthday. Service wasn’t overly attentive, which was ok - a little bit ‘dumping plates’ and leaving us to it. Food was outstanding - the steak frites is absolutely superb. When the bill came, the waiter announced the amount … never experienced that in a restaurant before; I would have said something at the time but I was so taken aback that I didn’t. Disappointing, especially when the food is so good!

The staff were very friendly and the food was unbelievable. We had starters and main course with wine. Perfect pairing. Will be back in the near future

We had dinner here yesterday for my dads birthday. After a long day of travelling we arrived in Edinburgh. We had an amazing dinner and want to highlight Alistair for making us feel right at home and making a special evening even more special. Thank you😊

Fantastic experience, amazing food and service, worth every penny

Excellent restaurant, wonderful setting and amazing service. I highly recommend it.

The atmosphere soon as you walk in is vibrant but relaxed. The service was brilliant. The food was amazing as always. The Jalapeño mash was so creamy, truffle fries amazing and the steaks were cooked perfectly. I was worried it would not be the same standard as Beef Bar in Monaco but it was. A nice touch of live music whilst eating.

This was our second visit to La petit beef bar, so knew how high the standards were however on this occasion our experience was made better by Finn the waiter! With his great charisma and good energy made me and my girlfriends evening that bit more special.

One of the most pleasant experience in a very nice place. Delicious food and great services. Keep up the amazing work!

Best restaurant experience I’ve had in Edinburgh, everything was excellent, looking forward to coming back as soon as possible!!

Fantastic meal and the Team were absolutely amazing. Just lovely to be looked after in such a professional manner. Definitely going back 🤩

One of the best places to eat in Edinburgh. Food pretty much flawless. Panettone with the Kobe Beef Jamón maybe the best thing I’ve ever tasted.

Excellent service and food, a good ambiance with a roving saxophone player, I like that they haven't jammed the establishment with as many tables as possible to try and increase capacity, so you don't feel your "personal space" is being encroached upon which makes for a better dining experience. It was also very good that the chef realised our steak was slightly overcooked and had already started preparing a replacement, touches like that make a positive impression. We will definitely be back, overall a very good experience

Had been given a voucher and a recommendation to visit so last night we did. Table was reserved for 7pm. Restaurant looked lovely, maybe 6 tables were being used at that time but 1st hiccup came - we were shown to a table very close to another couple, so close we could have joined each others conversation - we refused that table for both parties privacy. I don’t get that other than it’s less of an area for the server to walk?? We finally were offered a table on our own- which was ideal. The service in my opinion was actually too fast, we could have been in and out in less than an hour having a shared starter, mains and a coffee. When you pay £160 for your meal, you want it to last a bit longer than an hour. We shared a big K, which was a nice starter. Filet and Cauliflower with salad and veg. Coffee and expresso martini. The food, was nice but not fantastic, service too fast so could improve would be my suggestion.

Really nice venue. Edinburgh Ponsiness at its best. More staff than customers and prices that could potentially induce a Coronary. The food menu is classically designed to tempt but not fill. Although go to Ponsi places you get Ponsi food. If you can afford it and are not really hungry, then this is your spot.

This was our first visit here for the Sunday roast dinner! Such an amazing experience staff were friendly, service was efficient and live piano and saxophone. Food was incredible we will definitely be back!

Has been redecorated since it was the George hotel and we loved the new decor. Cosy, and stylish. We had a couple of AMAZING cocktails in the bar, before heading through to the restaurant. We had a selection of sharing starters which were so good I actually asked for some more! I loved the quirkiness of the menu, it had so much more than the usual run of the mill steak house menu. The maitre d’ was attentive and helpful when we asked for some guidance with deciding on what steak to have for our main course. The steaks we chose were some of the best cooked steaks we have ever had - high praise indeed from my chef husband!! I struggled with pudding as I was so so full but gave it my best shot and so glad I did - it was to die for. We can’t wait to go back again!

Popped in for an initial recce as it looks ike a place I might like to go to with clients. First impressions was not as busy as I would have expected. One of the reasons for this is that the outside is padlocked shut until 12.30pm and there is no mention of the opening hours outside. (Why?) I went elsewhere and returned at 1.10pm. Still only a fifth full. But that's okay - easy to get a seat. The menu is heavily focused towards meat as you would expect - but it is wideranging and decent value. I went for the Lunch Special. Veal steak with frites, their signature LPB sauce and a side salad. Wine is cheekily priced and only comes in small, medium or a bottle. For a solo lunch this poses a dilemma. A small is too small. A medium is still too small and a bottle is too much. I went for medium x 2. £11 a glass, but the Shiraz was first class. Back to the food. The veal steak was delicious and perfectly cooked - but personally would have preferred the sauce warm or hot, not room temperature. The frites were great. Hot and crisp. The salad with walnuts, spinach , parmesan, apple, green beans and pomegranate seeds - truly magnificent. And all this for just £27. Service was top notch and comes with a discretionary, but already added, 12.5%. I was going to tip anyway. A wonderful lunch which I look forward to having again soon.

Ambiance of the restaurant is very Nice. Service, although very friendly, was sub-par. Filet mignon was underwhelmning at 42 pounds, chocolat soufflé was really good. All in all, a decent experience but with these prices i would have expected to be blown away.

had a selection of sharing plates. Portions were small, but to be fair fab. Quesadillas was superb. Would go back just for that and ask for it as a main. Chips excellent also.

Lovely late lunch had today. Wait staff very attentive & a lovely atmosphere. Food was cooked perfectly and the steak was seasoned fantastically. Really enjoyed my meal!

We ate mid week after a long day. The restaurant was perhaps 20% full. Staff were friendly, to the point of cocky. We love banter, but only if the basics are covered, and this has an oldish sharing approach to food. We needed to ask three times to be clear. Didn't help that the music was loud and inappropriate - obscure Gerry Rafferty to disco/nightclub remixes of classics with bass and drum beats. Wine list is basic, but good G+T's. We passed on starter, partly confused by the sharing bit, partly by price, partly by selection. Le Petit Beefbar suggests French bistro. But it's more Spanish tapas. The menu is confused, for example central is the veal, and, in a beef restaurant, the house steaks are on one side. But the filet mignon was excellent, as were the chips. Mind you at £47.00 they should be! Came as a sharing platter on a candle heated hot plate. My wife had the burger, wrapped in paper, and obviously not a sharer. (Paper...for a ten foot journey from the kitchen...environment?). Two desserts, my sorbet was nice. But it felt noisy undistorted like and expensive. We waited several times for service and the bill...it just needs a rethink, menu, music, and the option not to share...please.

Le Petit was recommended by a local bartender. We have been looking for better food and vegetables. It was a romantic night, so I made reservations here. We Love sitting at the bar, the bartender was so sweet and the manager was the nicest. The food was amazing. So amazing that we order double the appetizers. Our dinner was fantastic. Our drinks were fantastic. If we lived locally this would be our spot.

At Le Petit Beef Bar in Edinburgh, our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the delightful baby quesadillas appetiser to the pièce de résistance – the medium-rare steak frites paired with a delectable sauce – every dish was a culinary masterpiece. The baby spinach salad provided a refreshing interlude, perfectly balancing the richness of the steak. Accompanied by expertly crafted cocktails, including the Reform Club and a satisfying Bloody Mary, the evening was a symphony of flavours and textures. Le Petit Beef Bar not only delivered the finest steak but also curated a dining experience that will linger in our memories.

Food was amazing. Our server Alistair topped off the experience was there for a birthday meal and service was impeccable. Will be back next month for my birthday. 10/10

We recently visited Edinburgh for my sisters 50th Birthday., 9 of us travelled from London for the weekend and as you can image we visited quite a few bars & restaurant in the town center Soo many people had recommended so many different places for Sunday Lunch but we all decided to give Le Petit Beefbar a go ......it was probably the best decision we made all weekend - absolutely perfect, The Food, The Service, The Staff & an added extra we had a fantastic singer playing on the piano! This place is a must!

Absolutely phenomenal meal - service, drinks, food and atmosphere were all five star. Incredible meal, best in a long time.

Incredible food, delicious cocktails and great service! Will 100% come back! We ordered two cocktails to start - the margarita was incredible! Then we had the bao buns (pork) and each had a steak with tasty sides. Waiters were quick and polite and had great recommendations. A bit on the pricier side, but definitely worth it. We will come back for sure!

Absolutely phenomenal place to eat. Very attentive wait staff, gorgeous food and a great atmosphere, not too loud. Worth the money/great for a treat. Unfortunately I was too excited by the food to take any pictures… next time !

Overpriced uninspiring and cold food! Lack of any atmosphere, and much better places to have a steak in Edinburgh! For the prices being charged the food is not good quality!

The steak was excellent. The starter very tasty. The menu is short but execution is perfect. Very professiinal service.

We came for dinner and we’re blown away by the recommendations angel gave us. He went above and beyond during our meal and his service was incredible. We will be back!

5 stars to all. Honestly one of the best steak experience I've ever had, especially for the price. My steak (ny strip) was perfectly cooked, the sauce was perfectly balanced and the fries were noteworthy. My partner had the vegan option which was really impressive and delicious too. To finish we had a cheesecake which was the best cheesecake I've ever had. Shoutout to Finn and Tanya who were taking care of us the whole evening and added greatly to the experience.

Fantastic food & exploring new flavours with great table service.

First visit here after being made aware of here on Instagram - One of the best Sunday Roast meals I've ever had - looking forward to my next visit - I've been telling all my pals how good it is....

As a regular visitor to Edinburgh this revamp of the Intercontinental Hotel on George street has really transformed their restaurant. You really need to be a meat lover to get the best from this steakhouse which also has a bit of a Tapas feel. Really worth a visit.

Lovely experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional - staff were extremely attentive but not over bearing. Would recommend for a special occasion in particular as it’s not cheap but you get what you pay for - which is an amazing meal / experience.
