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

My brother and I popped in for coffee. Staff were welcoming and friendly - showed us to a table for four next to the window, so we could enjoy the lovely view in the sunshine. Service was great and coffee delicious. We liked it so much that we went back later for lunch. Again, the staff were helpful about a nice table away from the entrance and bar. Deliciously chilled Chilean Sauvignon blanc and a very good soup of the day. We also shared a portion of chips and they were fantastic - crisp on the outside and fluffy within. Altogether a great experience on a day when, for sad personal reasons, we especially appreciated being looked after! Thank you.

I had some time to kill and was hungry, so I decided to eat here. First of all, the self-ordering system didn’t work. When I went to the desk where the bartender was standing, he said that the chef was on a break and would be back in 30 minutes. So, I waited, but nothing happened. The chef was basically just standing at the bar, talking on the phone, and occasionally doing some cleaning during that time. After about 45 minutes, the bartender and chef took all the menus from the tables without saying anything. There were also a couple of other people who had been waiting for quite a while. After an hour, I went to ask if the chef was ready to cook. The bartender looked at the chef, who was standing near him, and he just shook his head. So, they made us wait and didn’t even bother to say that no food would be served anymore! Very unprofessional and ignorant staff.

a quaint little cafe attached to a lovely, though expensive, gift shop. The food is very good and always made freshly once ordered. It's a tad pricey but no different tio the average decent cafe these days.

I visited the restaurant just after 6pm. It was fairly quiet with it being a Monday. I was waiting for 5 minutes before a member of staff acknowledged me despite them having seen me they were too busy to chat. When I eventually got my table, I went to get the meat and was waiting another 6 minutes as there were no staff at the counter. When I eventually got dinner, I was given the 4 smallest pieces of meat and everything was barely warm (including the sides and gravy). I’m not sure if the hot plates had been turned off in error. Nobody even asked how my meal was. I would not go back.

Visitamos el domingo por la noche, no necesita reservar, era bastante tranquilo. Informado de las ofertas especiales, buena selección de comida en el menú menú infantil. Pan de Ajo para los niños, pedimos salchichas con puré de patatas y hamburguesa y n fichas del menú de niños, la gran hamburguesa/patatas fritas, el jalapeño queso se derrita y el pollo fajita hamburguesa, pinta de cerveza fría, vino de la casa de cristal y refrescos para los niños. Y Chic brownie tarta fudge y helado para el postre.

This could be a really nice place to eat, but unfortunately once inside the place lacks atmosphere, and more importantly the food is just not good. The soup had a funny taste and the oignon rings and mushrooms were clearly frozen, and quite tasteless. Even the tea had a bad taste to it. I was surprised that the pub was empty when I went in with my mother... forty five minutes later upon leaving, I understood why. I even apologised to my mother for taking her there. Yet it could be a high class bistro/restaurant, if a good chef was hired to conjure up good dishes. And it is a real shame because the pub is well placed and has great potential. Yet we were happy to leave the place as inside there was a strange sense of oppression, despite the waitress being nice, in her own way. A long walk along the promenade, managed to dissipate our disappointment.
