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

I came for lunch today with my Mum and Aunties. I hadn’t been before. The service and food were amazing. The sizzler peppercorn chicken was superb and the biscoff cheesecake was the best I have ever tasted. The sharing Sunday roast was quite something! What a feast! I will be back for sure. I never write reviews but had to come on and leave a review.

Finally made time to visit sycamore cafe and the wait was well worth it, location couldn’t be better in the centre of Corbridge ( parking takes coins not card) we went for the £12 lunchtime special, Lebanese chicken wrap and a falafel wrap,truffle Parmesan chips as a extra 3.50, food is hot and cooked perfect served with salad and house coleslaw, you also get pudding chocolate brownie (hot) with ice cream and absolutely delicious little bits of chewy fudge. In the price you can have a 125ml glass of wine or a half of cruzcampo or a soft drink or a coffee americano I think it was, the quantity and quality of food you get is excellent value for money. A big mention to our host Helen who was very friendly chatty and very polite, she made our lunchtime very relaxed, so thank you Helen. If you’ve not been please try you won’t be disappointed

Fantastic overnight getaway at this fab boutique hotel, nestled in the lovely leafy suburb of Stockbridge in Edinburgh. Sumptious room, impeccably presented. Extremely comfortable bed. Dinner was top drawer Pumpkin hummus, smoked mackerel pate followed by a super delicious steak and mushroom pie Very restful sleep, a lovely long walk around the nearby Botanical Gardens and then a delicious breakie as pictured. Excellent coffee with real freshly squeezed oj. I don't recommend places often, but can recommend The Raeburn with confidence

The food was great! We had fish and chips, and it was delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind. The price is rather more expensive than average but it’s still great. And the interior itself is stunning.

Had been recommended to visit and did not disappoint. There was a queue when we arrived but we scanned the QR code and joined the virtual Q. Had a wander around the very pretty neighbourhood while keeping an eye on our q position so the time passed by quickly. Greeted and seated by a very friendly member of the team . Great service, order taken promptly. Coffee was great and food delicious! Would definitely recommend.

The Dog House has such a unique and cozy atmosphere! It’s a great place to relax, with friendly staff and a welcoming vibe. The fact that it's dog-friendly makes it even better—plenty of pups around to brighten your day! The decor is quirky, the drinks are great, and they play old music, which is a huge plus. It really adds to the charm of the place. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Edinburgh

Goodness me, what an amazing building houses The Cannonball Restaurant. Even those of us familiar with the delights of Edinburgh couldn’t fail to be impressed by it’s proximity to the Castle. A super meal from an imaginitive Menu served by such charming and enthusiastic Staff. Highly recommended.

Great food at reasonable prices, especially in a highly touristy area. Menu is thoughtful and portions are generous. Nice cocktail list too. Would recommend if you’re looking for a local spot before venturing out to any of the bars/venues in the area.

Good beer and good staff. Food is fine for pub food, but I'd go for the beer rather than the food.

Really nice place with good food. The service is excellent.

Food served Wednesday to Sunday only. Fantastic hidden gem with a great cosy atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff and great food. The bar itself is decorated in a cosy traditional style and host quiz nights on Wednesday and Sundays. There are pub games in the back corner to entertain you while enjoy a drink. Moving on to the food it is fantastic especially for the price. I had the MacDillon burger, it was cooked beautifully and the burger was a proper burger patty rather than a frozen mass produced one. Can't wait to go back.

I used to do the karaoke in this wee gem of a place. Not sure if it's still open as I'm sure i seen a lease sign up at front of it 🤔

Great family restaurant. The kids love it.

This bar is a solid choice if you are looking for quick bites and drinks and a big plus is that they are pet friendly. The staff is courteous and friendly, which makes for a pleasant atmosphere. However, the vegetarian options are very limited and the wait time can be quite long. Also, during busy hours it gets incredibly crowded and stuffy. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual hangout so just try to avoid peak times.

Had the sticky pudding and clotted cream as a dessert stop. Soooo delicious!
