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

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

Afternoon Tea was superb! My first time in Scotland and first time and The Spence and I was blown away! Beautiful decor, amazing tea and even better service from Jess and Sasha who made the experience a 10/10 🥰 I loved it so much I’m lost for words which may be unhelpful but honestly you just have to go. Treat your day with a visit and be as happy as I am right now! So glad I had the extras too to take my Afternoon Tea to the next level.

Waited a bit as the opening hours were not exact. A good restaurant to try Scottish food, warm food, good prices.

This place is not to be missed. Great food, great service, and a fantastic buzzing atmosphere. You need to book as the word is out, and it does get busy. Thanks for a great night out Roseleaf Staff.

Just sitting having a cool drink in the sun. Service was very good and friendly.

I can’t comment on the bar or the food, but unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience with the gig. In short: please don’t sell more tickets than the venue can reasonably accommodate. We attended Hannah Grace’s show, and by the time my partner and I arrived, not only were all the tables taken, but there was no standing room left either. We found ourselves standing behind a wall near the stairs, craning our necks just to catch a glimpse of the stage. After three or four uncomfortable minutes, we decided to leave. It was a waste of money and time, and it left the evening feeling quite spoiled — especially given how much effort it took to arrange childcare so that two working parents could enjoy a rare night out.

cadre magnifique cuisine et service très bons nous avons été bien conseillés pour le choix du vin assorti à nos plats

We stopped at this pub just downstairs from our hotel room upon arrival, and were able to get a table for a bite to eat. The staff was very friendly, the food very good (even though we only had a starter, the chicken was a treat), good drinks, and good music playing. Sports fans will be in their element at this pub. A great experience, highly recommended, in Edinburgh's New Town.

Had my first time here today for a wedding; food and staff were so accommodating. An extra thanks goes out to bartender Alex who made sure I had a quiet space to take my family member who is disabled and needs quiet; we felt so looked after and that hospitality went such a long way. We're really grateful, staff are amazing!

Buzzing place, busy & lively with good food served by excellent staff. We were seated in a cosy booth inside, it was packed outside on a sunny afternoon but we were happy to go inside. Burger deal of the month was excellently value, juicy & tasty & cooked well, superfood salad was delicious & very generous, had to ask for a doggy bag. Apertivo spritz £6 what’s not to like.

We had a great experience. Super fast, quality service, excellent food.

Really enjoyed our visit here, the staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us

Good food, great drinks and friendly staff.

Quaint pub with nice service and good food.

We eat lunch here on a Saturday, we eat outside. There was nothing special, it catered for tourists so the staff weren't out to impress and the food was mediocre but the beer was good hence the 3 stars.
