The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

On Saturday we had a fantastic relaxing evening with the family at the restaurant in Dunmuir hotel. So far I believe is the best place for food in town While waiting for our food we got a dominoes set from the shelves( which is decorated with lots of interesting stuff, from old books to some unique pieces from local artists) We played and spent some quality time all together My meal was a delicious Cod and mussels curry served with fragrant rice, my husband got a Venison Burger ( that evening special) that was insanely good. My son had fish and chips from the kids menu, that honestly looks like a normal adult portion, freshly made with a choice of wedges chips ( sorry not picture- he messed the dish straight away 😛) The top ten was our Haggis Bits served with a spicy sauce ( I don’t normally have Haggis isn’t my favourite thing) but this time I give the chance to try and they were so good. Definitely a must if you come in Dunbar For dessert we shared a selection of cheeses to finish the lovely wine and carrying on playing with dominoes The staff was very friendly and helpful, always ready to anticipate our needs taking our jackets away and asking for any assistance This Hotel and restaurant is dog friendly 😍

Delivery driver picked up another order and delivered it first meaning our hot food was freezing cold by the time we got it

Staff for the most part were great. Very attentive. The food was the main letdown. The langoustine tortellini was disappointing, and the "beef wellington" was not a beef wellington. Disappointing for the price tag and absolutely will not be going back. I feel it would only be worth going for the two-course deal, but even then there are many other places I would rather go.

An excellent restaurant, great food and wine and the service was excellent. The building itself is also very beautiful.

Impresionante restaurante y excelentes vistas, solo un hermoso diseño de restaurante! La comida era un poco estándar y siento que podría haber sido más contemporáneo

Had a great meal here. Mussels in many different varieties, we chose blue cheese. Especially really tasty oysters.

The atmosphere is quirky and the music when I went was a great tropical house playlist. The serving staff was friendly and helpful to someone like me who doesn’t know much about whisky. I had the haggis nachos and Robert Burns haggis stack, and both were amazing!

21212 was such a special stay, one that I'll hold very dear. The location is perfect, on a quiet street overlooking the city, centrally located, right by the beautiful Calton Hill that we took to hiking up at night to catch the stars. The rooms are exquisite, comfortable all around, well appointed, with the biggest and must luxurious bathtub imaginable. But really the highlight was the staff. We had so many good moments catching Katie in the hallway and sharing some stories. Yes, the streets of Edinburgh have their own kind of magic but for us, that's the good stuff, those moments of welcoming and connection. She and Beth made 21212 feel like a home we were being invited into, and only the most special stays achieve that sort of feeling. We look forward to coming again, and would highly recommend.

Extremely rude maitre d at restaurant. He sat us at a table where the sun was shining directly into our eyes. We politely asked for another table. There were at least 15 tables available. He refused. When we asked later he again made excuses and was very rude. We left after two appetizers which were mediocre. The are much better restaurants in Edinburgh.

Really disappointing meal. Won't be back. When food finally arrived it was cold, bland and tasteless. Pleasant waitress

My favourite cafe in Edinburgh. Just the coziest, quirkiest, coolest atmosphere and lovely staff. Cheese toasties are out of this world (try the one with fennel salami) and the cakes and baked goods are always tempting. Lovecrumbs always has something a little different on their menu and is a great place for coffee with friends, some remote working, or just chilling out. I love Lovecrumbs!

This is the second time we’ve come and it didn’t disappoint. The food was outstanding, and worth the 45 minute drive to get here. The service wasn’t great and putting it down to an off day… we all get them

Highly recommend The Winton. I used to know it when it was a pub and never had the chance to visit since it's been done up to a restaurant so going back around 17 years! It was outstanding service and the food was to die for hopefully next time I'll have room for pudding but I can't fault this place whatsoever and it's been lovely coming back and remembering some lovely times I had in Pencaitland will definitely be back again soon

Their tacos are quite pathetic. There's not much more to say about their food.

I arrived here wet and tired. I had a lot of luggage. Biata, the manager was so kind. She stored my luggage for me till I could get into my hotel, and she also printed off all my flight info! So unbelievably kind! The other staff were so lovely too. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was lovely with beautiful art all around. I highly recommend a visit!
