The best restaurants serving British food in East Lothian Edinburgh and Lothian

Stopped for lunch and enjoyed a wonderful minestrone soup. Deli is in the front and a small cafe in the back. Very friendly staff, very relaxing and reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

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!

Thoroughly enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Open Arms. We were seated in the library which was very nice. Varied choice on the menu of Scottish fair. Food was well presented and delicious. The staff were very polite and friendly. It is a very traditional and homely place and a bit different for a special occasion.

Great choice for the three of us. Good coffee as well as excellent food. They were happy to split the bill two ways so my friend and myself could pay for the driver's meal between us. Not many would offer that facility

Superb afternoon tea Had a lovely walk around the stunning garden and we enjoyed our delicious sandwiches and selections of sweet delicatessen.Our granddaughter enjoyed her selection of vegan sandwiches and sweets .

Excellent service. Ordered 2 chicken mystique baguettes with salad and they were ready for me to pick up. Delicious. We order this every time we meet for coffee.

Great choice of hot and cold rolls, fruit boxes, cakes and drinks. Brilliant value for money. Friendly service. I would highly recommend this lovely cafe.

Slightly overpriced but tasty staff are friendly and attentive they also do outside functions and catering for all occasions

top gluten-free muffins, the butter icing is to die for, banoffi and also lavender were amazing, will definately be back. Sandwiches had fresh gf bread and were very tasty.[buffet-you did sat]

We visited here on the last day of our holiday. We were greeted at the door with a warm smile and made to feel very welcome. The cafe was buzzing, great atmosphere and it was spotlessly clean. Shown to a table, menus handed out, sorted. Great choice. One large breakfast, roll n square slice and a roll n bacon and tattie scone. Two lattes. Wasn't long to wait, coffee arrived then our breakfasts (the cook might remember us, breakfast was served before she'd put the tomatoes on the plate, such an efficient service 😀). Everything was cooked to perfection, just the way we like it. 2 empty plates and 2 full tummies. As I said there is a lovely atmosphere here. Everyone was greeted with a smile and a friendly voice. The lady doing the waitress was quick and efficient. We are back on holiday in June 2022 and we won't just be having breakfast on our last day. I need to try their macaroni cheese. The scones are huge and I'm sure they be delicious and then there's the tray bakes... you don't diet when on holiday lol. X

Lovely cafe at the rear of the gift shop. Super friendly staff and the best scones in East Lothian. The gift shop is also well worth a visit.

We dined with friends on a quiet evening. The food was delicious, my venison was so tender. Attentive staff, but didn't rush us as we chatted while taking our time to order.

Not a great experience. The fish and chips were OK (what can go wrong with fish and chips?) My chicken burger was OK, but the bacon was fried to a crisp and inedible, and there were no crispy onions. My friend had something from the 'specials' board (risotto or tagliatelli?) which she said was tasty but not hot enough. For the prices charged, we expected something better. We don't plan to come back.

For the relatively high prices charged we would have expected decent cuisine. Instead the dishes looked as if they were thrown together. Linguine floating in a tasteless sauce with a few bits bits of dried chicken.. Red Thai curry …..dried chicken, very little watery curry sauce at the foot of plate. No offer of chutney. We have eaten here a number of times but will certainly not be back. Something has gone seriously wrong in the kitchen

We had a lovely lunch. Food was fresh and flavoursome and the kids menu was a big success with my 7 & 11-yr olds. The staff were super friendly and created a lovely atmosphere.
