The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Went to The Black Rose Tavern in 2018 and returned in 2024, both times at same time of year. Really pleased to see nothing much has changed and, in this instance, this is a good thing. Staff are friendly, vibe is great and beer range is decent, only stayed for a half this time around but spent much longer there in 2018, it is just a cool venue, with good people and a great atmosphere.

Service was lovely, the atmosphere too, but the food was unfortunately a letdown.. poached eggs were dry and cold, juice sold as fresh, was cold not "fresh". The veggies were dry and not seasoned. My friend's food was as disappointing as mine. I remember this place being lovely a few years ago :(

Great and easy going food, really nice staff!

Nice place with a great selection of Craft beers

Always visit here when in Edinburgh. Friendly staff, we enjoyed drinks and food. Haddock supper and a Tweed V Bavette food was tasty and njoyable. We njoyed our visit, its a luvly bar/restaurant, bright and spacious. Worth a visit :) :)

lovely place staff friendly and helpful not had long to wait for food. had turkey sunday roast it was delicious

Brilliant bar staff ensuring attentiveness and comfort. Friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Good music that still allows for conversation. Very decent drinks menu.

Sunday evening deserted. Food like a bit of semi-finished products. Half the beers weren't. Very loud music in an empty space. Overall, not much of an experience.

Mostly the same as every other week we visit Mens toilets a disgrace , swimming in water or something else as usual Nadine giving excellent service as usual Other than that not much of note

Had a fantastic evening, really welcoming and all the staff were amazing. Live music was on and this was excellent, really great atmosphere and will be back.

A friendly authentic restaurant with impeccable service and attentive staff. Food worth coming back to every time I'm in Edinburgh

Can't post a review as wasn't dog friendly

Fantastic wee boozer. The guy behind the bar(Craig i think) was exceptionally friendly. He was really pleased to see our wee dogs. Couldn't have made us feel more welcome.

Came in for a quick drink, amazing decor, great cocktails but what made it was the service. The girl (apologies didn’t get her name) was so attentive, I’ve never seen someone move so fast and made sure we were looked after at all points. She was doing this with every single table whilst keeping a table with a birthday party happy. Only went in for one drink but she managed to impress us so much. Thank you!

The atmosphere is good and the food tastes good.
