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

We were visiting Leith for the morning and decided to stop by the Grannary for Brunch. We were welcomed and got a booth at the back of the restaurant. Our host Steph was really helpful and attentive throughout our visit and meal. She kindly provided us with crayons and paper for the kids, which makes a big difference as a parent. The food was served pretty quick, our Smoked Salmon on a Hash Brown, with a perfect poached egg was fantastic. My only comment would be that there should not have been a need for a Television within the restaurant, especially as it was just showing a film and we always find it's a distraction for the kids when trying to enjoy a meal. Just an observation, otherwise the team did a fantastic job and we'd definitely be back. Thank you

I wanted to love this Indian street food spot, it had a cool vibe, smelled great, laid back and great soundtrack. But the food was tasteless. First, while they promote the Bombay sapphire gin, they simply won’t make their also advertised gin martini out of it, even for an up-charge. I rolled and took their version which was a citrusy lime affair, when everyone who matters knows gin martinis are meant to be served dirty and with olives. Maybe that’s the New York girl in me, but moving on, the Papadam had not an ounce of cumin, seed or powder, just puffed dough. Similarly, the Haka noodles were mush and honestly tasted like nothing except maybe vinegar. Maybe the mains are better, but I’d try your luck elsewhere. My 3 purchased items are all going back mostly untouched.

The café looks chic and has a lot of charm. Unfortunately, that's where it ends. After I went through all the tables, I chose the one that was least dirty. The tables were cleared but not wiped down. The family at the next table took a rag from the waitress and cleaned it themselves.

At first glance, we thought this would be just a basic breakfast buffet, however it is supplemented nicely with various menu items. Food was fine, and I might have given three stars, except that our server Nick made me the most incredible cappuccino with almond milk. He also had good suggestions for what to order. Truly exceptional service and I am bumping it up to four stars. Excellent almond milk cappuccino. Thank you Nick!

Great to find, we're doing to entire week in scotland visiting every spot. This good pub with large choices

On 17th November, my wife and I visited this Inn. All staffs were very good as usual. All ordered cuisines were also very good. Thank you! On 7th September, I visited there for our lunch with my wife. All staffs were very good. And our ordered meals were very good. We enjoyed very much. We are starting the 12 PuB Trail. I think it is very good trail. Today, we got nice two glasses from the trail awards from this Inn. It was also very good. Looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you!

My family and friends recently traveled from Spain for a very special occasion. We decided to eat here mainly because it looked like the type of place we like to eat. The location was also very good. we can not find any fault with the food, drinks or service on the day. we were well cared for but not hassled in any way. Food was tasty and well cooked. They also answered my email and followed my request promptly. I would recommend to anyone wanting fresh well cooked food. I will be returning.

Nice, cozy pub in the heart of the old town. You can definitely stay there for a few beers. 👍😂

Excellent in all aspects! I had a marvellous evening

Took my family here on vacation from US (8 people) having experienced the Boston restaurant myself I thought this would be a great experience for them. I was wrong. The waitress was great. The food was mediocre at best the rib eye steaks we got were over cooked. The porterhouse steaks under cooked. The main reason we went was for the Beef Willington but they were out of it and one of the chicken dishes. None of the food came at the same time some of us waiting over 5 minutes after the first steak was served. With 2 people not ordering a meal just sharing a porterhouse steak. The meal came to over 950£ for 4 porterhouse steaks, 2 ribeye steaks and 3 starters with 5 cocktails. I don't mine paying for a good meal but this was overpriced for what we got.

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!

Mi sono fermato con la famiglia per il pasto e mi ha attirato il loro menù e il locale. Devo dire che la fortuna mi ha baciato ed abbiamo consumato un pasto eccezionale , ottimo il cibo e le birre , vivamente consigliato l’haggis tradizionale davvero buonissimo, ottimo anche il fish and chips. Personale gentile e premuroso.

5 star dinner 😀 everyone was lovely and hot, the Yorkshire pudding where giant. Thank you to our wonderful server kirsty-dawn who let us the some Yorkshire puddings home.

A truly good restaurant, with good food, good service, and super views of the Forth Bridges. A particular note of thanks to Ellie, for GREAT service!! It always makes such a difference to a visit to a restaurant, when you are served by someone who is efficient, and has a nice personality!! Food was excellent....particular mention of the Mussels...fantastic! Keep up the good work!!

This restaurant was very busy on our visit, it is also dog friendly if you want that facility. We were put on a lower table because we had 2 dogs , but the restaurant was very busy and quite noisy as it was a Friday evening. The food and drinks came quite quickly considering how busy it was, good choice of both but portions were not that big. We didn't have desserts but menu looked good.
