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

I almost never leave reviews, but I felt I had to because I felt so ripped off here. I'm a local and had time to kill before work so I popped in for lunch. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, but I got the smallest piece of avocado toast I've ever seen for a tenner. I'm still hungry. I sort of knew it would be a mistake to go somewhere touristy but now I know I definitely won't be back. There are nicer places on Cockburn Street, never mind the rest of the Old Town.

Prima afhaal restaurant met een onverwacht zitgedeelte met prachtig uitzicht. Eten smaakt prima, medewerkers vriendelijk.

We chose this place for its historical building. Food was good and there was plenty of tasties and cakes. The thing that we didn't like about this place was its expensive bill and the fact that there were few staffs to take care of customers orders. Wouldn't like to return.

Never had this chicken 65 in uk with curry leaves gave extra taste

I was trying the new menu and it was really interesting. Bold flavours playing with Scottish products. Plenty of veggie and vegan options out of the classic (the vegan pastrami sandwich was amazing). Affordable prices. 100% recommended.

We had tea and a treat at Marks and Spencer’s Staff was very friendly the babychinos for our two little girls were free of charge the kids meals came with an extra piece of fruit and the ham and cheese toasty was cooled down a bit so they won’t burn themself what a great service - The food was fresh and delicious for a very reasonable price! Definitely check it out if you would like a quick snack

Visitamos para tomar unas copas y una comida. Fui a pedir comida, pedí pescado y papas fritas, no pescado, pedí pastel de carne y papas fritas, no pastel, finalmente terminó con una hamburguesa muy mediocre que parecía que acababa de ser arrojada al plato. . 2 miembros del personal no tenían habilidades de servicio al cliente en absoluto. Muy decepcionante.

Over priced and food was under whelming definitely not worth the money. Staff clearing tables were trying hard to keep on top of things but were very obviously under staffed. Staff serving behind the counter were rude and insisting people pay by card as they had no change. If you can't accommodate people paying by cash put up a sign advising people before they choose their food. Would not use again.

The food is good here and it is a reliable local spot for brunch/lunch. Just visited but complained when we were served our smoothies in small, part-ful takeaway cups instead of a brimful large glass as usual. Both staff shrugged and one said "it's been like that for a year", while the other "we've lost a lot of glasses and that's how the boss serves it now". I get it, times are tough for small businesses but making the portions smaller and denying it is a bad look.

After reading lovely reviews about the afternoon tea served at The Glasshouse, I booked the 'Scottish Afternoon Tea' for 2 as a treat for my daughter-in-law's 30th birthday for her and my son. As I was in Edinburgh the week before, I called in and paid for this in advance. Unfortunately, on the day, my daughter-in-law who was 32 weeks pregnant, was unwell and unable to travel to Edinburgh, so the booking had to be cancelled. I emailed the duty manager on 2 occasions to ask if a refund would be possible. If I hadn't prepaid there wouldn't have been an issue about a refund and the hotel would have simply had to acknowledged the cancellation, which I'm sure happens from time to time. I had an initial response from the duty manager saying he/she would look into it but on sending a second email a week later, I have yet to have either a response or a refund. I appreciate last minute cancellations must be annoying and costly for hotels but sometimes they are completely unavoidable. Top tip - don't pre-pay for services unless you have to!

He estado aquí unas cuantas veces y aún el servicio podría ser mejor. Hay un montón de aparcamiento gratuito exterior. Zona de bar tiene TV y plenry asientos. El restaurante tiene un invernadero. El personal es amable, pero necesitan ser más profesionales. El menú es variado y se pueden conseguir medias raciones. Los precios son promedio. Podrían mejorar y creo que traer más clientes.

We ate here before the Lion King with the VIP Ambassador Lounge deal and it was all very good . I had read some of the negative reviews and was a bit wary after booking but it was a really nice experience. The food was fine , we had chicken skewers and soup and burgers and there was no complaints , but the service was excellent . The girls who served us were efficient and very friendly. They took us up to the lounge and again we had friendly service . All made for a great night , well done

We have been going monthly for years but since the restaurant has changed hands the lunch menu has been drastically cut back. Food still nice but not enough choices. If going monthly it will become boring. Prices have definitely not been cut back.

Good location, below art gallery, bordering princes street gardens. good staff, good food. Second visit. Will return.

Went with family to have a nice breakfast but were all utterly disappointed. Very small selection of breakfast items and all potions were far too small. I ordered full Scottish breakfast but left feeling hungry after spending over £1, sausages both meat and vegan were very nasty in their taste and all items were below average for an premium price - never again.
