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

The lentil soup was beyond delicious! A genius blend of herbs, spices and warmth. You could tell it was made with love !! Must try !!

Words can’t truly describe how amazing every aspect of our dinner was. It was our last night in Edinburgh and we definitely ended our trip on a high note. All the staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. We ordered from the A La Carte menu and from my lobster rolls starter to the cod main, it was like we were on an exquisite culinary journey which I did not want to end. Iulian, our waiter, was very helpful in answering any questions we had about our meals and Phil, the sommelier, kindly suggested wine pairings which were delightful to say the least. I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about dining at Fhior, but the atmosphere was very unpretentious and welcoming. I will definitely return if ever in Edinburgh again. Chef Scott creates some amazing dishes! Talent like I’ve never experienced. Do yourself a favour and go if you have a chance!

We are locals and love coming here to this great, cosy, friendly restaurant. Our evening begins in their downstairs wine bar before heading up the restaurant, and back down for a nightcap. The menu seems to change daily. Last night my partner praised the beef Bourgogne. The pheasant & partridge main was great. I’d recommend the Puilly Fume wine and the French dessert wine to accompany the cheese. This is an amazing, family run establishment and so friendly.

Perfect place to have a proper breakfast before going to Edinburg castle!! They have a huge variety and very fair prices. Also, as it is very close to the monument, I highly recommend start your morning there

Good coffee, sells Aeropress, great service. Go.

The fish & chips was pretty nice, but I got burnt pizza😢

I had an amazing experience at this breakfast spot! The food was absolutely delicious, and every bite was a treat. The staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and kind—truly attentive with a lot of patience. It’s clear they care about providing a great experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast. Will definitely be back!

Cool place. Not a good first experience though, one of the bartenders were really rude and basically told us to leave when we tried to order drinks.

Went as part of a work-event at Christmas. The hall was stunning, big fireplaces and stunning chandeliers. The food was very very good and a fair portion. Service was prompt and polite and extra considerate for our colleague who can't have peanuts, reassuring him that they checked his meal each time. Food was served at a lovely temperature. I'd love to visit this place as a typical patron. Also, it's a treat to be so far up the Royal Mile as late as we were. Even though it was Christmas time, the street was fairly quiet and Edinburgh old-town looks lovely (ignoring the road works!)

Amazing place if you are in hurry or need a little brake on your adventure in Edinburgh. The people working here are super friendly and the prices are good. They have soup of the day if you need something warm and great selection of tasty pies (chicken and mushroom is my favorite). Totaly worth visit at least once!

Typical Scottish pub with two floors. The basement floor is much quieter and suitable for dining. Many beer options and all the staff very kindly advises on them. The fish pie was delicious. Very good experience!

Lovely food, good service. Very cosy vibe!

This is a fantastic, friendly, and unique gem of a restaurant. The food is some of the best i've ever had, and the staff are service-minded and pleasant.

Best starter I've had in a long time (smoked salmon)! Great service and atmosphere too.

This place served such great quality food, so beautifully presented, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Felt that prices were right. Would love to go back here and have recommended it to friends.
