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.

An outstanding dining experience from start to finish

Lovely local hant, well worth a visit

Great for relaxing having a pint staff great

We have become the lucky victims of a world record-breaking nibbler! by suddenly upgrading to superior at £37.5 pp. complete luxury Perks: - soft velvet toilet paper that caresses my heart - full flushing toilets (this is a real problem in budget UK hotels) - the bathroom is of royal size and offers an abundance of soap and shampoo dispensers - Slippers with firm soles to take with you - endless luxury! - Godlike position through corner rooms with a view of Main Street where life is alive and the carriages drive

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.

Tuvimos una muy buena cena en este restaurante, la comida es buena y el ambiente es acogedor. gracias a todo el equipo pero mención especial a Emelise que fue muy amable y atento con nosotros Gracias de nuevo

We had a lovely time over lunch and breakfast and felt welcome and cared for. David the waiter in the bar was absolutely wonderful and super helpful making a special ocasión even more special. David was super friendly and made our stay in Scholar a delightful experience. He showed us the new menu and it is to be celebrated, loads of fresh tasty options served very promptly. Thanks

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.

Salimos de los caminos turísticos para probar estos rollos de salchichas. Vale la pena el tiempo y el esfuerzo. Pudín negro y haggis, cerdo tradicional y una carne picante se comieron entre los dos. Absolutamente delicioso. Bonitos rellenos gruesos y apretados. Nada de escatimar en las carnes. No demasiado grande, justo. 10 libras por tres, más que contento.

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.

Absolutely fabulous. From the venue, the greeting, the decor, the food and the service, it could not have been better. Will be definitely be back.
