The best restaurants in Musselburgh East and Carberry East Lothian Edinburgh and Lothian

I’m originally from Musselburgh and am often back to visit relatives but we don’t often go into the main part of town. We ate here on Saturday night as two couples as my brother in law has raved about how great this place is. I was a bit sceptical as Musselburgh wouldn’t be a natural home for an Argentinian Steak House. I have to say it was fantastic. The feature is the quality of meat and that made all the dishes brilliant. We had the sharing platter - loved it. The meat was cooked exactly as asked for at medium rare and the meat was beautifully tender. The beef taco starter was brilliant and all the other steaks looked amazing. As designated driver I can’t comment on the cocktails but the others seemed to enjoy several and rounded off the meal with liqueur coffees. The quality of food is exceptional and can see why it was always busy - we had booked 3 weeks in advance and got 5.45 as all later tables were booked and they were also full when we arrived. We paid about £250 for 4 - starters , main meals, several cocktails a couple of desserts and coffees - well worth it and I would suggest that having eaten in Edinburgh at Hawksmoor, the quality of food here is in a par for a lot of better price. Wow.

Beautiful food, friendly staff and the cheese cake is to die for. 10/10. I have ordered for delivery on a Saturday in 3 occasions and every time it's hot, if you order stake pie the pastry comes in a little bag not to get crushed in transport. It's just the little things.

Great food, superb staff. Starters, so many to choose from. I plumped for the bees bau bun, my wife Haggis bon bons and marmalade sauce. Both were superb, the bau bun was soft, filled with superb, tender, tasty beef. The haggis with marmalade sauce was equally impressive. Mains... The wife had mussels, good sized portion and very tasty. I plumped for the burger. I love a good burger, but often the disappoint. Not here though. Really good burger, pickles, chips and a proper tasty coleslaw. No room for pudding. Beer was well kept and tasty. Thumbs up from the wife for the pornstar martinis. The staff were really friendly and made the night, as dis the epic 80s playlist. Well worth a visit.

The staff here are brilliant, and the quality of food is amazing for a quick bite. The wedges are a particular favourite for a side!

My husband and I will 100% be returning! I'm not a steak fan but my husband is, they have other options so I decided to book for our anniversary. They bring out a tray of all the different cuts and explain what's what and how they recommend it to be cooked. Th food was phenomenal! And the desserts oh my yum! If you haven't been I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed! EDIT Not a steak fan me, had rump tonight (21/9/23) and it was delicious!! Would definitely have it again which isn't something I thought I'd ever say about steak! Fantastic restaurant!! Always leave feeling full and satisfied! Highly highly recommend! EDIT (14/10/23) They have a new small selection of cocktails now available which just adds to all the reasons why this is mine and my husbands favourite place to go! EDIT (6/3/24) Pinion rings and corn on the cob are fantastic sides to accompany your stake. Which I have quickly became a fan of! If you haven't already definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it! EDIT 24/12/24 Had our Christmas eve dinner here and it was fantastic! HUGE portion of turkey and plenty veg with a big Yorkshire pudding! Tables were set with christmas crackers for and extra wee festive touch Honestly this is the best place to go in Musselburgh!

I recommend visiting the restaurant. The cuisine, staff and service deserve a good rating. Our evening was not in vain 🥂👍 We will definitely return for new taste delights!

Best Ice cream in Scotland, proper Italian Ice cream. Like mama made it.

If you are looking for a place that gives you a sense of awe, this is it. My daughters loved it and so did I. I would stay here again.

Went there for lunch. Great service in fantastic setting. Nice walk in the garden afterwards. Highly recommended!

Been twice, and both times have been brilliant. Well worth trying if you haven't already. Pretty small so recommend booking in advance

Great food and wonderful staff. Would definitely go back.

Gorgeous restaurant at the Manor House. Warm and cosy with amazing decor and being forest views

What a great find. We were looking for somewhere to go before heading to Musselburgh Races and this suited us perfectly. Looked like the sort of place I would like but wasn’t expecting such high standards of cleanliness, service and food. The bacon roll is a simple thing but often is disappointing. This was delicious. No fat, no grease and full of flavour. The locals are lucky to have this to go to regularly.

Excellent food and service, relaxed atmosphere, good selection on menu, tray bake and scones are delicious. Also often visit for a coffee after using the gym.
