The best restaurants serving British food in Portobello / Craigmillar Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

I had an amazing root veg and chestnut pie for my tea from GK. It was a feast of flavours and could have fed two people.....Highly recommended ***** I’m an exceedingly happy old Hector

They were lovely and the fish and ships was delicious! Thank you

I went for lunch on Friday with a friend and the food was amazing. The menu was a fixed price of £9 for 2 courses and £12 for 3 courses with a choice of 2 starters, 3 main courses and 2 deserts. The menu was designed by 2 students (Alisha and Robert) and it was excellent, we both could have quite happily had any of the options as they were all good options. As it happened, I had the Thai Coconut and vegetable soup for starter and friend had duck spring rolls. For mains we had homemade steak pie and crispy plaice and avocado salad (the 3rd option was gnocchi) and for desert we had Lemon tart with ice cream and Raspberry charlotte - everything was freshly made....everything even the bread that came with the starters. It was all excellent but I'd especially call out that it was possibly the best avocado salad I've tasted and the home made ice cream was also amazing. Well done to all the students you all worked so hard and served up an excellent lunch you all deserve A* grades. I'd also note that in town you could pay twice as much for the same food so I took the opportunity to tip well and would encourage others to do the same as it goes towards the students end of term night out. P.S. please don't share this review as word might start getting out about how good this place is. P.P.S I wish I'd taken more photo's but just remembered at desert and my photo's aren't at a great angle. You should go though as it was excellent.

Had a beautiful birthday breakfast here at Butternut Squash. The delicious French toast and omelette was amazing. Then I was surprised with a strawberry filled shortbread cookie for my birthday! Such sweet women! Thank you 🫶🏼

Superb cafe, food is always perfect. Not one complaint at all, lovely staff and very friendly. Won’t use another cafe in this area, definitely recommend. White House kitchen 10/10

Great pub with quite fancy menu

Fantastic service. With a load of brilliant food 👌

Another outstanding meal at The Cuddie Brae, Newcraighall. Wonderful service from Alastair and Leanne. Manager too can’t do enough for us! Food was amazing. Definitely one of our fav places to lunch!

A very pleasant place to have a drink or some breakfast (or lunch, or just cakes - the cakes looked very good!). It's right on the Portobello promenade, and you can eat outside - several tables for 4 - or inside. I only stopped for a mug of tea as it was early morning, but the customers at nearby tables were tucking into some nice-looking breakfasts - I think the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup were £10, but they did look appealing. My mug of tea cost £3.50 so it's not the cheapest place for a cuppa, but you're paying a bit more for a lovely view of Portobello beach and the Firth of Forth. I'd happily go back. Service was friendly and efficient.

Set on the promenade in Portobello, it has a scenic sea view. Spacious and cheerfully decorated. Good quality and well presented food. Service was excellent. It was popular and busy when we went so we had to wait 10 minutes for a free table but it was definitely worth it.

We have been going monthly for years but since the restaurant has changed hands the lunch menu has been drastically cut back. Food still nice but not enough choices. If going monthly it will become boring. Prices have definitely not been cut back.
