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

Such friendly staff welcomed us all and our dog. So helpful. Lovely comfy sofas and a relaxing glass of wine. Ideal after a tiring day at the festival.

When things go well it's very good - plenty of seating outside in the nice weather and there will be plenty space inside when (if?) they get they Saddle Room finished. However, when it is busy things can go downhill. Staff are pleasant but could be better organised and there doesn't seem to be anyone in charge. As a result it can often run out of things including beer and glasses (be prepared to get served in a plastic container if you are sitting outside at busy times). Booking is essential at peak times and the kitchen closes quite early.

Lovely place with deals on each night for guests..Food was great, service was lovely and wanted to mention Harshit and his customer service. If your staying at the hotel highly recommended and Thursday nights steak night is a must to try.

Had the mushroom buttery and couldn’t recommend it more! Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Beautiful atmosphere!

Very nice interior and design. The food was good. The pastries were really delicious.

Stayed at the premier inn for a couple of nights and used the brewers Fayre for dinner. On both occasions, I left without receiving the pudding which I ordered and paid for. The first night, I got a rude reply from the waitress after waiting half an hour after finishing the main, only to get a rude reply. The second night, I asked for the pudding to be provided at the same time as the main, it didn’t arrive, asked a waiter and nothing happened, left after waiting a further thirty minutes. Don’t go here as you will not receive the items you have ordered and paid for.

Pretty standard fair for a Costa but the queues inside can take a while to get moving. If you're short of time, make sure to go through the drive thru instead as that moves at double the speed of inside

Stopped by for dinner, food was excellent and well priced. Staff were all great.

This cafe is inside the Castle and we were quite surprised by how decent the food was and that the pricing was so reasonable. Normally this type of cafe has poor food and high prices.

We were walking the Royale Mile, down one side and up the other. The restaurant we had chosen to eat in was already closed, so we decided to eat in the next open one we came to which was Cafe Vivo. It was a great choice. The service was excellent and the food was good. It is a storefront restaurant without a lot of ambience, but the friendliness of the staff and the good food made it work. We would definitely eat there again.

Nice little cafe just opposite the cathedral on the royal mile. A tad pricey but a nice little find for a quick coffee and bite to eat whilst exploring.

Hadn't been here since it changed its name. Strange sort of entrance with a lot of steps. Very very dark back room. Still, staff were friendly and drinks were reasonable!

Maybe I'm jaded after having lived in New York for 4 years, but this business says New York style bagels and they most certainly are not. Very mediocre and overpriced bagel. Their veg cream cheese is very good, but overall I wouldn't return.

Stopped by here on the way home. The place was empty but the kids corner was a bonus for us and kept our 3 yr old son happy! Menu doesn't have much choice but the food was delicious! We had chicken burger and an old Smokey burger. No complaints! Staff and punters were friendly an we will definitely be back again. I dont know why there wasn't more publicity about this place as it defo needs it. Come here if u like no no fuss good pub grub and a place for the kids to play.

Friendly, warm atmosphere and very well cooked breakfast. Very quick service. Comfortable seating. Altogether pleasant experience.
