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.

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.

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.

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.

The place appears to be closed. I was in the area today and had hoped to pop in for a quick pint and a bite to eat, but found signs up saying that it was closed due to 'Electrical Issues' whatever that might mean. It was showing on Google as open.

Lovely fish and chips. The best in the area

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 😍

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

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!

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

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.

Having visited the restaurant and stayed in this hotel on many occasions I was really looking forward to tonight's evening visit with my family. I am sad to say it was a very disappointing experience. Service was extremely slow considering how quiet the restaurant was, waiting ages for the menu, food to arrive etc. You don't mind waiting if when the food arrives it is worth the wait. Unfortunately my chicken burger was so salty it was verging on the inedible. I mentioned this to the young waiter and he apologised and said he would mention to the chef. On my way back to my table I mentioned to the young man who appeared to be in charge how disappointed I was in both the food and service to be advised by him that they serve great food even to the staff. I was a bit flummoxed about how to reply and simple said it was a shame that we probably wouldn't be back. On paying the bill no tip was left which is extremely unusual for me.
