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

The food is good here and it is a reliable local spot for brunch/lunch. Just visited but complained when we were served our smoothies in small, part-ful takeaway cups instead of a brimful large glass as usual. Both staff shrugged and one said "it's been like that for a year", while the other "we've lost a lot of glasses and that's how the boss serves it now". I get it, times are tough for small businesses but making the portions smaller and denying it is a bad look.

This was our last meal in Scotland on a week's holiday, and, I have to say, that we have eaten very well. Still, I think we saved the best for last. I have read some of the not so glowing reviews here, and I am sure that they are honest. All restaurants have off nights and some clients do not like the way the food is prepared. All I can say is that we were five adult family members and our experience was brilliant. The young staff were friendly yet professional. My starter, a special that day, was a chicken liver parfait. I will honestly say that it was one of the best things that I have ever eaten. The cod enteree also received rave reviews. One fellow diner was not so happy with the fish pie, which turned out to have hard-cooked eggs, that were not welcome. Otherwise, everyone enjoyed their food. Desserts were also very good.

Best roof in Edinburgh, inside the botanical gardens very peaceful, but you need it to restore dangerously high blood pressure if you try to get food, has improved but still a challenge
