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

Super little cafe, welcoming and well run. Dog friendly. Menu is limited however, if they're not too busy, other options are available on request such as full English breakfast. No obvious vegan options, other than toast. Oat milk available and gluten free bread. Freshly cooked food and really nice coffee. Full of locals, which is always a good sign!

Have drank, ate and laughed here many times! Great bar with amazing staff and friendly banter. They show all the big sports, have karaoke and quizzes! Great shots menu so grab your friends for shots and shenanigans

Couldn't fault our dinner with friends at Ducks. Friendly service, lovely atmosphere and incredible food. In particular I have to shout out the desert which featured a sea buckthorn sorbet - genius! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Absolutely amazing all day breakfast rolls. Don't bother with chain outlets as you get PROPER value for money here. Very friendly too!

Minus a point for disposable cup for people sitting in. Nice coffee though, much better than Scott's. Lots of room. Sorry can't judge the food, didn't have any.

Great service and lovely food. Karolyne and Helen were wonderful

Great place to eat, food was delicious, will definitely be back, all the staff are very friendly and pleasant, nice to see staff who actually enjoy there job

Thanks to our wonderful bartender our drink at The Anchor was a memorable one. The choice of beers were great and the service came with a smile.

Quite an outlier rating review, given the general high rating the restaurant has received. This is a personal experience, some might not mind it and some will, entirely subjective. Our group visited this restaurant expecting a pleasant experience, but a few key issues left us a bit disappointed. Here's a breakdown of our experience: 1. Service Speed: Orders arrived promptly, which was appreciated. 2. Food Quality: I ordered chips—average and unremarkable, earning a neutral 3/5 for the food itself. Had I ordered anything else, I would be able to give a more balanced rating for the food, e.g. whether I liked it or not. But chips are generally always average wherever you go. 3. Views: The views were good, but similar to other restaurants on the same street, so this wasn't a unique advantage. Concerns: - Bill Payment: Being told we couldn't pay bills separately because the staff was busy caused significant inconvenience for our large group (7 of us, 6 having ordered smth). While this might be understandable in some cases, it isn’t standard in most restaurants and left us puzzled. - Tipping Practices: The bill included an "optional" tip from the start, we received the bill with the tip already included. Indeed, in the bill, there was a section that said that the tip was entirely optional, but the action of adding it from the very beginning to the bill definitely creates social pressure for you to tip. When we asked to separate the bill/pay for what we ordered separately, one worker helped, but when one of us asked about the charge appearing on the card reader, we were told it included the tip, which was now mandatory to us because they went out of their way to accommodate us. This comment seemed to our group, quite a puzzling one, given it is common practice to provide the separating of the bill/paying separately in restaurants and a service that does not take long, I would say it took maximum around 10 minutes to complete. This undermines the optional nature of the tip and felt like forced gratitude. I believe many would understand that social pressure to tip in these circumstances. Finally, i understand that paying separately is not guaranteed in all restaurants, absolutely valid, but the comment does leave one feeling like we were being somewhat unreasonable requesting to pay separately at a busy period. While the staff's workload is acknowledged, these practices—especially the implied obligation to tip—left a sour impression. Dining should not involve coercion or attitudes suggesting standard expectations are a special favor. Improvements in policy and transparency are necessary to make the experience more enjoyable. With regards to the reply, I would like to confirm that we did indeed not arrive with a reservation. If a reservation would have been needed or accommodating us meant a lot more effort, I believe we could have been informed of it and perhaps made another decision under those circumstance. As I mentioned in the first paragraph, a review is personal, subjetive, some after reading this will mind what happened, but still decide to visit, but remind mindful of what happened to us and avoid certain things, and still have a great experience. This is a recount of what happened to us and how we felt, it does not mean that you will feel the same way. Recounts of things are always through the perspective of that person, this is my perspective and what I recall happening, the other Party might remember it differently, who you decide to take as truth is a matter of your own critical thought.

Stayed at the premier inn for a couple of nights and used the brewers Fayre for dinner. On both occasions, I left without receiving the pudding which I ordered and paid for. The first night, I got a rude reply from the waitress after waiting half an hour after finishing the main, only to get a rude reply. The second night, I asked for the pudding to be provided at the same time as the main, it didn’t arrive, asked a waiter and nothing happened, left after waiting a further thirty minutes. Don’t go here as you will not receive the items you have ordered and paid for.

Delicious afternoon tea in lovely surroundings Nicely presented with friendly staff Had a small cup of carrot and coriander soup to start Afternoon tea was sausage rolls savoury scones quiche and a ham salad croissant Four fruit scones with clotted cream and jam and a selection of delicious cakes No sandwiches but preferred the savoury’s Doggy bag with the ones we couldn’t eat Overall a lovely treat Had an itison voucher

What an awesome Country Pub. The staff are warm friendly and really treat you well. I’ve just finished off a lovely Sunday Roast thanks to Chef Lee. The flavours were amazing. I had the meat mix and it was delicious. All In all a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thanks Guys Ash

Friendly staff, good coffee and the scone is a must try

Lovely juicy burger and a surprisingly nice Greene King beer called False 9. Long time since I've enjoyed a Greene King beer. Another return visit. This time a nice piece of breaded fish and bottle of Birds & Bees. Was very enjoyable.

Visited this place several times and it is always very welcoming with good service. The menu is extensive and the food delicious. Good prices too. And of course a wonderful view from many of the tables.
