The best restaurants serving British food in Southside / Newington Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Loved this experience. I was made to feel welcome and custom appreciated. Service was on the slow side and it wasn't handled particularly well at the start. I did decide to forego the wine tasting pairing and cheese course as a result. Having said that, the food was spectacular and the wines I did sample were great (thank you for letting me taste from the wine pairing menu for the white - great flexibility to make up for the slow start). The seven course is well worth the price and the wait staff were friendly and happy to chat over the dishes and ingredients. The Sake Ginger Grapefruit cocktail I ordered at the start was a revelation as well!

Fantástico ambiente. Maravillosa selección de tés y tartas caseras, todas servidas en servicios de té antiguos que luego puede comprar si lo desea. De hecho, todo está a la venta a un precio negociable. Me encanta este lugar sin pretensiones escondido a pocos pasos del centro de la ciudad. Asegúrate de reservar. Uno de los mejores lugares de Edimburgo.

Last year, mum and I found Max Bakes. Mum had haggis and black pudding and I had feta and spinach. I had never had haggis or black pudding (always put off by the ingredients 🤦‍♀️) I tried mums and vice versa...both were delicious! This year we planned to hunt Max Bakes down, worrying he may not be here this year, and much to our delight we found him in the exact same spot! (later we found out he is a permanent fixture not just for The Fringe) We order two haggis and black pudding rolls and they were as good as we remembered! Two very happy travellers 😁

Very Private dining concept aka Private Kitchen - 4 tables seating for our dinner. Modern Artwork to accompany the tasting. Personalized service per table. 3 hour seating to enjoy a great dinner

Lovely meal. Music too loud. Lacked atmosphere. Coffee absolutely awful.

Decent breakfast , great value for money .

Great location Good level of cleanliness of the rooms Parking too expensive Decent restaurant Unfriendly local staff. Most polite and helpful Indian staff A little too expensive

Proper olden style pub, no TVs, good whisky selection, go for the craic … decent Chinese across the street to

Lovely link roll, sausages are delicious and latte perfect and great prices! Both the ladies behind the counter are so friendly and welcoming, definitely be back ☺️

A hidden gem….What a wonderful place! Friendly staff and amazing food. And for the ladies… the powder room is a must see.

We had the fish cake, salmon special and a vegetarian burger and we were all floored by how good the food is. The best burger I’ve had and a very healthy size. The service was incredible and ask the staff were very attentive offering refills, drinks and a quick check up. Emelise was an amazing host and very personable, happy to chat and share stories. The two ladies serving and running were just as lovely and attentive. Barely any wait for the food, all in all a wonderful dining experience

No problem with finding a table on a busy Saturday evening could of been a bigger table for 4 people, little cramped once the food arrived, sharing platter well presented and tasty, main course choices good ,friendly and helpful waitress.

We enjoyed afternoon tea in the afternoon. The large grounds were beautiful and green. All the cakes were beautiful, delicate, and delicious without being too sweet. The scone was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and firm throughout, with a grainy texture. It was cold from the beginning, so I wanted it to be served warm. The savory was quite good, and it wasn't too much and was the size that I could eat it all. Although it was a wonderful reception room with a nice view from the window, it was a disappointing shop. I made a reservation by entering my card number from the official website. When I tried to pay after finishing my meal on the day of the meal, I was told that it was not necessary. I thought I was paying by card that I entered on the website. Later, I received a double payment from the credit card company I entered. I contacted the hotel and store via email about 5-6 times, but there was no response. After consulting with my payment card company, I managed to get one charge stopped. What should I do if there is no response even though the amount is large? It's a shame considering it's a historic hotel and store. I had planned to go there next time I came to Edinburgh, but I decided against it. Please deal with the basics properly. If you are making an online reservation and can enter your card number, please order.

Exceptional meal and ambience. Wait staff were very attentive without being intrusive. All in all a wonderful dining experience.

Didn't try any of the food , seems a chill wee pub , had a pint of bulmers .
