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

I wanted to love this Indian street food spot, it had a cool vibe, smelled great, laid back and great soundtrack. But the food was tasteless. First, while they promote the Bombay sapphire gin, they simply won’t make their also advertised gin martini out of it, even for an up-charge. I rolled and took their version which was a citrusy lime affair, when everyone who matters knows gin martinis are meant to be served dirty and with olives. Maybe that’s the New York girl in me, but moving on, the Papadam had not an ounce of cumin, seed or powder, just puffed dough. Similarly, the Haka noodles were mush and honestly tasted like nothing except maybe vinegar. Maybe the mains are better, but I’d try your luck elsewhere. My 3 purchased items are all going back mostly untouched.

A little mixed on the catering offered. The egg/avocado/sriracha bagel didn't really have any taste, it was disappointing. The setting is nice though, right next to the Palais Royal.

At first glance, we thought this would be just a basic breakfast buffet, however it is supplemented nicely with various menu items. Food was fine, and I might have given three stars, except that our server Nick made me the most incredible cappuccino with almond milk. He also had good suggestions for what to order. Truly exceptional service and I am bumping it up to four stars. Excellent almond milk cappuccino. Thank you Nick!

Visiting from ireland and we booked a table here online they hadn't a clue what I was talking about rude lady in suit we got a table lucky it wasn't too busy. Ordered the steak my partner said was amazing I ordered the lamb idiot sandwich can't fault a thing with what we had the cocktails were nice has well can't wait to come back

Asked for no ice in my drinks, and he looked like he heard me , 2 drinks given with ice, and said he never heard and no attempt to change it for me .

such tasty tasty food!!! the mussels were the best I've ever had. seriously stunning. I would say the haggis was my least favourite, perhaps there are places that do it better but the pasta, sticky toffee pudding and the shepherd's pie were all absolutely amazing. can't stop thinking about those mussels, so fresh and perfectly seasoned. 😍

Lovely little pub, close to the castle. Really enjoyed it here

Lo visité anoche con mi esposa y algunos amigos antes de ir a un concierto en el Usher Hall. La gama de cervezas que se ofrecen era genial y disfruté probando un par de cervezas que no había tomado antes. La comida era buena, al igual que el servicio, aunque sentí que las porciones eran un poco en el lado pequeño.

Gran comida y muy buen servicio! Liam y Joshua hicieron un trabajo increíble cuidando de nosotros. El filete se iba a morir y mi esposa disfrutó de su langosta.

This cafe is inside the Castle and we were quite surprised by how decent the food was and that the pricing was so reasonable. Normally this type of cafe has poor food and high prices.

We were walking the Royale Mile, down one side and up the other. The restaurant we had chosen to eat in was already closed, so we decided to eat in the next open one we came to which was Cafe Vivo. It was a great choice. The service was excellent and the food was good. It is a storefront restaurant without a lot of ambience, but the friendliness of the staff and the good food made it work. We would definitely eat there again.

Nice little cafe just opposite the cathedral on the royal mile. A tad pricey but a nice little find for a quick coffee and bite to eat whilst exploring.

Hadn't been here since it changed its name. Strange sort of entrance with a lot of steps. Very very dark back room. Still, staff were friendly and drinks were reasonable!

Dropped in for lunch after visiting the castle. Nice menu. I had Cullen skink which is a fabulous smoky fish chowder. Caesar salads fine. Service kind and attentive. Steak sandwich flavorful but had a large piece of unchewable gristle, dropping restaurant rating for us. Still, overall a fine experience and definitely recommend.

Mi marido y yo tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa alojándonos en el Glasshouse para mi cumpleaños esta fue nuestra 3a visita y por mucho la mejor x Olivia (Gerente) nos había actualizado a una suite era increíble que era tan encantadora que no podíamos haber pedido más, era hermoso x También Isacc (conserje) era muy servicial, es un personal del hotel tan amable no puede hacer lo suficiente por usted, el desayuno también era muy bueno, nada era un problema
