The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

A friendly and basic establishment serving inexpensive but good food from a basic menu Helpful staff Visited Thursday lunchtime,so difficult to judge atmosphere correctly

Had a wee hit to eat and a couple of pints, doss

We popped into The Milnes Bar to use the loo and asked if we could fill up our water bottles. The staff were incredibly accommodating and happy to help, which we really appreciated. It’s always nice to come across a place that’s welcoming, even for a quick stop. Thank you!

Really gorgeous bar and restaurant with a lovely club area upstairs. We had a cocktail making class with Euan/Ewan (sorry I don't know the spelling!). He was a great teacher, good fun and very accommodating, which just added to the experience for our friend's hen party! So big shout out to him. Thank you for a great time, we will definitely be back.

Visited this place several times and it is always very welcoming with good service. The menu is extensive and the food delicious. Good prices too. And of course a wonderful view from many of the tables.

My brother and I popped in for coffee. Staff were welcoming and friendly - showed us to a table for four next to the window, so we could enjoy the lovely view in the sunshine. Service was great and coffee delicious. We liked it so much that we went back later for lunch. Again, the staff were helpful about a nice table away from the entrance and bar. Deliciously chilled Chilean Sauvignon blanc and a very good soup of the day. We also shared a portion of chips and they were fantastic - crisp on the outside and fluffy within. Altogether a great experience on a day when, for sad personal reasons, we especially appreciated being looked after! Thank you.

Always a friendly atmosphere and the food is fantastic and value for money. A must visit on my many trips to the delightful Dunbar.

Walked all the way along from the rail bridge end looking for a place for coffee and glad we chose Orocco Pier. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, service was good, view out over the Forth was excellent and the toilets were very good. Often places let themselves down by neglecting the toilets. All in all, very happy to have dropped in.

I came here quite early in the morning for a sobby goodbye, but Kenneth provided me with an excellent service and brought back my smile. Eman was the kindest too, thank you both!

Had booked a table for 2 adults and 2 kids for Sunday lunch (carvery). Arrived and stood waiting for about 10mins before we were seated. Had a sinking feeling at this point as the place is v dated and there seemed to be little staff on. Initially only 1 behind the carvery and another who was on the bar and serving. We were taken to our table and left. Sat for 10 mins waiting for our order to be taken. Another table arrived with a new waiter and I overheard them being told to order at the bar. I caught waiter and checked this. Queued at bar where we had another wait and then finally got to carvery. A family ahead of us had given up by this point and plates half full asked for their money back. We persevered. Food was ok. Plates were cold and portions of meat were tiny. Extremely disappointed in our experience and would not go back. Do not recommend.

Como dice el título de la reseña, no te dejes atrapar con una multa de estacionamiento. Asegúrese de registrar su vehículo en la recepción del hotel o en el bar dentro de los 10 minutos de su llegada, o recibirá una multa. En cuanto al establecimiento en sí, se trata de un Wetherspoons que, si estás familiarizado con la cadena, es el mismo que los demás, así que ya sabes lo que vas a conseguir. Está en un suburbio de Edimburgo. La principal diferencia entre este y otros que he visitado es que el edificio es menos espectacular, pero todo lo demás es como cabría esperar.

I almost never leave reviews, but I felt I had to because I felt so ripped off here. I'm a local and had time to kill before work so I popped in for lunch. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, but I got the smallest piece of avocado toast I've ever seen for a tenner. I'm still hungry. I sort of knew it would be a mistake to go somewhere touristy but now I know I definitely won't be back. There are nicer places on Cockburn Street, never mind the rest of the Old Town.

Prima afhaal restaurant met een onverwacht zitgedeelte met prachtig uitzicht. Eten smaakt prima, medewerkers vriendelijk.

We chose this place for its historical building. Food was good and there was plenty of tasties and cakes. The thing that we didn't like about this place was its expensive bill and the fact that there were few staffs to take care of customers orders. Wouldn't like to return.

A friendly welcome at the door, lovely coffee and MASSIVE scones (cheese or fruit). Really couldn't fault this little cafe and are looking forward to going back. Though we didn't try them, there were breakfasts, soups, cakes and more on offer. And the plant centre had amazing trees, shrubs and flowering plants that we really enjoyed browsing around. A proper nursery with muddy paths, hosepipes lying around, and staff who know things, not a garden centre full of tat!
