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

It was a grand experience. The place and a food is very authentic with great atmosphere.

Place looks amazing, food is fantastic. Was quiet when we visited for lunch but have seen in jumping when I've been passing

Very cosy family owned restaurant with great food and excellent coffee.

Great and easy going food, really nice staff!

Wonderful hotel right next to Johnny Walker. Staff were so helpful shipping important items to me when I forgot them in my room. Looking forward to going back!

Brilliant bar staff ensuring attentiveness and comfort. Friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Good music that still allows for conversation. Very decent drinks menu.

Sunday evening deserted. Food like a bit of semi-finished products. Half the beers weren't. Very loud music in an empty space. Overall, not much of an experience.

Mostly the same as every other week we visit Mens toilets a disgrace , swimming in water or something else as usual Nadine giving excellent service as usual Other than that not much of note

This is my first visit here and food and drink is lovely, atmosphere and service very nice and friendly. Highly recommended ✨

A friendly authentic restaurant with impeccable service and attentive staff. Food worth coming back to every time I'm in Edinburgh

Can't post a review as wasn't dog friendly

Came in for a quick drink, amazing decor, great cocktails but what made it was the service. The girl (apologies didn’t get her name) was so attentive, I’ve never seen someone move so fast and made sure we were looked after at all points. She was doing this with every single table whilst keeping a table with a birthday party happy. Only went in for one drink but she managed to impress us so much. Thank you!

Been a regular visitor to the Roseleaf since its opened about 15 years ago. This time, I was left feeling slightly disappointed. Whilst the food quality was good, I was surprised by the attitude of some staff. I had asked if we could have the Xmas menu and was told that it had to be pre booked. When I said that I had made a reservation but that I didn't think the website was entirely clear in stating that the Xmas menu had to be pre-booked, I was basically greeted with shrugged shoulders and the person walked off not seemingly at all concerned. The overall service then proceeded to feel a bit rushed, not giving more than a couple of minutes to choose our dishes. When it came to pay, a 'discretionary' 12.5% service charge is added which I think is unreasonable. This idea has come from London where most places do this, it would be better to leave a tip up to the customer to decide, rather than putting pressure on with the 12.5% already added to the bill. So fairly let down overall. The staff used to be friendlier in my opinion and I don't agree with this style of service being added on.

Special, very special afternoon. The food was excellent, the cocktails were boozy (as anticipated) and the staff excellent. The venue was fabulous and so festive. Thank you for last minute to adjust our increasing numbers. Will book again for next year definitely.

Traditional pub with an interesting history. Great location in the Grassmarket area right off the Royal Mile. Our food was traditional and yummy. And our server, Tamara, was attentive and lovely.
