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

Fantastic date night meal - superb food, great service and a very decent wine list.

A bit late for a review however myself and my family where here in Feb during a visit for the six nations. It was my highlight of the trip (maybe not the highlight Ireland did win). The steak was superb. Excellently cooked. I’m going back to Edinburgh next February and can’t wait to come back to this restaurant

Don't let the façade fool you, this is a fabulous spot for drinks and dinner. I had the Cullen Skink risotto it was AMAZING ! Husband had the venison sausages, equally happy. Started with Bloody Marys. Exceedingly good. Staff great and decor/ambience just right

Searching fora place a bit different from what you might find in a historical centre, I randomly entered here - and was more than pleasantly surprised. By the staff, the choices offered, the quality of the food, everything. Highly recommended if you want to spend a very enjoyable evening with excellent food.

Superb Amazing dishes and the wine pairings were excellent Service top notch

Booked a table for dinner and my wife booked the wrong time by mistake. The staff were brilliant and managed to find us a table even though the place was packed. Food and service was first class as well. Lovely friendly pub in a great location and would definitely recommend.

Arrived for Sunday roast , waited 1 hour, then they said they’d sold out , waited another 15 mins then left … terrible service

Cannot fault a single thing about this hotel. We had a junior suite and it was beautiful. The staff are all wonderful and the breakfast is lovely (especially the haggis)

Very nice place, the Haggis with Whiskey sauce are very delicious, they are worth it, the Fish an Chips are delicious and that never disappoints, but if you want to eat Haggies this is the place, very comfortable atmosphere to have a beer and a Whiskey.

Staff are excellent very attentive. Food is expensive but well presented and tasty.

Really good service and very quick. Lauren was very friendly as well. Would definitely recommend to come and we will be visiting again.

Prisvärt lunchställe med god mat, fin service och trevlig personal. Vi tog smårätter till lunch, den honungsglazerade biffen var utsökt. Rekommenderas starkt!

We just arrived in Edinburgh by train, tired and hungry. After climbing a very long set of stone stairs, with a lot of luggage, we arrived at The Southern Cross Cafe. Excellent food at reasonable prices and extraordinarily friendly service made it well worth the climb. Don’t miss the Toffee Sticky Pudding!

We were strolling the Royal Mike and looking for a light lunch. The historic Deacon’s House Cafe hit the spot! We initially were seated outside in the close adjacent to the cafe, but a table opened up inside and we chose to sit there. It was charming inside, with pictures relating the interesting story of Deacon Brodie on the walls. Apparently this was his workshop. The scones with clotted cream and jam were very good, as were the sandwiches. Prices were reasonable and service was good. Would definitely return.

We were having dinner with family and friends. The resturant was not crowed. SERVICE was spotty. The quality of food was poor The grouse was like "shoe leather" and way over cooked. The sea bass was cold and tough. We told them they needed to hire a new chef. When we complained we received a free desert as if this justified the 300 pound bill. Avoid this resturant. You are better off with pub food
