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

Vino a desayunar. Café estaba ocupado, pero fuimos recibidos cálidamente por un joven y se le mostró a nuestra mesa, que frotó por nosotros. Servicio rápido y desayuno sabroso. Preciosos baños limpios. Lo que también me encantó, fue que reconoció a todo el mundo tan pronto como entraron por la puerta, ya sea sentándolos o saludándolos, estaré contigo. Odio cuando no me reconocen cuando entro en un café y hay ese momento incómodo de voluntad que me siento, ¿voy a esperar! Gran servicio

Delicious food and nice friendly staff

Beautiful dinner at The Pompadour. Gorgeous restaurant. Food amazing. Quite pricey but hey that's what you pay for all the hard work and talent it entails. Great service although I was a bit taken aback by an 18 year old Fraser being our sommelier but everyone has to start at some point and in actual fact 'the boys got talent'. Well done all round.

For some reason app had picked up my work location and only noticed courier called. He was super kind to deliver to correct address even though absolutely no fault of his! Many many thanks to the kind gentleman

First time in The Bon Vivant for me and it was perfect. We went for lunch and the menu was enticing. Our son and daughter in law know the place well and pointed us to the small bites. It turned into a VERY long lunch as the small bites kept arriving and we hoovered them up accordingly,with a selection of beers and wines accompanying them. No way could anyone manage a main course after what we got through 😂 Thank you to our attentive waiter and waitress for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Now I'm off to Google to find a fasting regime!

Great wine bar below the restaurant! Fondue, charcuterie, creme brûlée and the chocolate nemesis were amazing! The quiz night was really fun & relaxed. We’ll be coming back!

Esto estaba muy cerca de nuestro hotel. Tuvimos un desayuno tardío y todos estaban contentos. La BBC fue excepcional, Brie se derritió perfectamente. Tuve el desayuno escocés, golpeó el lugar y era de tamaño perfecto. Buen café con leche, excelente servicio, ambiente lindo.

Love this little bolthole on Broughton Street, coffee is excellent, atmosphere is calm and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Went for a Valentine’s date night… couldn’t fault one thing! The food was insanely delicious (especially the chicken prosciutto), the vibes were immaculate, and the staff were absolutely incredible… the waitress that served us was super sweet and made us feel so looked after!

Excellent and refined cuisine. Attentive and very friendly waiters. A lovely place for brunch.

Magnificently twisty and spooky, it even includes a small cinema!

Love this place, excellent selection of whisky and knowledge staff. The Scottish tapas is a real hit. Don't bother with the whisky experience, go to a proper distillery instead.

Fantastic pub... one of my favorites during our entire trip. Lots of folk, lots of energy... fun place

The first time I visited Café St Honoré I thought I’d wandered into late 19th Century Paris. I half-expected to see Toulouse Lautrec in a corner sipping absinthe. I noticed that the clientele seemed mainly to be local residents - always a good sign - but that business people and tourists were also welcome. The menu was brief and to the point. Dishes were seasonal and locally produced items, including drinks, were highlighted. Over a period of years I’ve visited many times and enjoyed consistently good cooking. This time, I chose the set lunch menu. On the day I visited, the menu sounded rather plain (Soup, Cottage Pie, Mousse) but I saw the opportunity to discover how much flavour this team could extract from modest ingredients. As usual, a plate of beautiful sourdough bread arrived shortly before my bowl of cauliflower and Lanark Blue cheese soup. The soup, made from simple ingredients, was outstanding. The vegetable must have been roasted very slowly, carefully and patiently to extract flavour of such depth. The velvety texture was complemented by a garnish of sweet, crunchy toasted hazelnuts. Comforting and satisfying, my two-hundred-mile round-trip to Edinburgh seemed worth it for this bowl of soup alone. A dish as straightforward and traditional as Cottage Pie needs no fancy embellishment and it wasn't given any. The pie was served in an individual gratin dish with a portion of sautéed green-leaf vegetables alongside. Once again, the modest menu description and simplicity of presentation could lull the diner into anticipating plain food. Every item on the plate was seasoned perfectly and the flavour of the pie's meat base had a gratifying depth. I felt beaten into submission. My homemade Cottage Pie doesn't come close to this! To finish the meal, another simply presented dish arrived: crème fraîche mousse with poached pear and a shortbread biscuit. The silky mousse expertly balanced richness with freshness and the fragrant, sweet pears complemented it very well. I tasted the biscuit and mused that this little piece of confection well represented the blended French and Scottish influences of this restaurant. Had I eaten this dish in France, I might have expected a Sablé biscuit on the side. Here, in Scotland's capital city, I enjoyed this national speciality made from a very short list of good quality ingredients. Accessibility: The dining room is at ground floor level. The toilet/washroom is on a slightly lower level a few steps down from the main cafe area. Prices: The daily set menu is priced at £25 for two courses and £32 for three at lunchtime. (£28.50 / £36.50 for evening service.) The menu which I would call A La Carte offers starters at £14 - £15, main courses ranging from £27 to £35, and desserts at £10 - £15. Wines are priced starting at £7.45 a glass and from around £30 a bottle. In Summary: The "Frenchness" of this cafe is not just about its decor. Classical French Cooking techniques are used in its kitchen. The atmosphere in the dining room is relaxed and the service friendly. Café St Honoré has adopted the French Bistrot mindset of people being there to enjoy the food and wine and not to stand on ceremony.

We had a lovely time at the Broughton for Sunday Roast. They were accommodating for our big group. The food was out of this world.
