The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

We had a wonderful experience dining here! The staff went above and beyond with their excellent service and made special arrangements for my mum’s birthday, which made the occasion truly memorable. We really appreciate the thoughtful touches! The food was delicious, and the service throughout was attentive and friendly. Thank you so much team! 🥰🥰🥰

We were very satisfied, the hotel 🏨 was fantastic and beautiful. The service was simply fantastic. It's centrally located in Edinburgh.

Great food and customer service

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

Top of the line seafood. Michael took care of us and he was super helpful.

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!

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

Fuimos en noviembre, así que la decoración de Navidad estaba arriba y precioso! Ambiente muy festivo. El servicio estaba bien. El té y la porción salada de la torre eran sabrosos. No soy mucho si una persona dulce, así que solo me comí el bollo.

I loved this place as Cactus Coffee. Now as Snax Bake House it's not the same - breakfast rolls are as cheap and nasty snax next door. Bring back the individuality that Cactus and the spudnik roll etc had please
