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

Always freshly cooked food, excellent choices, especially vegan options and with a fully separate kitchen too, friendly staff. And all within a 10 minute walk from work. Friday lunch has had an upgrade 😋

Exquisite food for the price must book cannot just walk in

It has been nearly two weeks since I ate here and I still dream of that breakfast every day. I had a full breakfast, and every aspect of it was absolutely fantastic. Tattie scone was the best I had (and I had many!). The Haggis and beans were really nicely done and elevated above the usual breakfast fare. The porridge with rhubarb was unlike any I have ever had. The space was also a wonderfully decorated. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Magnificently twisty and spooky, it even includes a small cinema!

Love this place, excellent selection of whisky and knowledge staff. The Scottish tapas is a real hit. Don't bother with the whisky experience, go to a proper distillery instead.

One of my favourite places in Edinburgh. Superb drink, food and brilliant staff. Recommend the haggis and whisky flight selection. Perfect!

Fantastic pub... one of my favorites during our entire trip. Lots of folk, lots of energy... fun place

A wonderful stay. Lovely room and quiet. Fantastic to be able to open a window for fresh air.

The first time I visited Café St Honoré I thought I’d wandered into late 19th Century Paris. I half-expected to see Toulouse Lautrec in a corner sipping absinthe. I noticed that the clientele seemed mainly to be local residents - always a good sign - but that business people and tourists were also welcome. The menu was brief and to the point. Dishes were seasonal and locally produced items, including drinks, were highlighted. Over a period of years I’ve visited many times and enjoyed consistently good cooking. This time, I chose the set lunch menu. On the day I visited, the menu sounded rather plain (Soup, Cottage Pie, Mousse) but I saw the opportunity to discover how much flavour this team could extract from modest ingredients. As usual, a plate of beautiful sourdough bread arrived shortly before my bowl of cauliflower and Lanark Blue cheese soup. The soup, made from simple ingredients, was outstanding. The vegetable must have been roasted very slowly, carefully and patiently to extract flavour of such depth. The velvety texture was complemented by a garnish of sweet, crunchy toasted hazelnuts. Comforting and satisfying, my two-hundred-mile round-trip to Edinburgh seemed worth it for this bowl of soup alone. A dish as straightforward and traditional as Cottage Pie needs no fancy embellishment and it wasn't given any. The pie was served in an individual gratin dish with a portion of sautéed green-leaf vegetables alongside. Once again, the modest menu description and simplicity of presentation could lull the diner into anticipating plain food. Every item on the plate was seasoned perfectly and the flavour of the pie's meat base had a gratifying depth. I felt beaten into submission. My homemade Cottage Pie doesn't come close to this! To finish the meal, another simply presented dish arrived: crème fraîche mousse with poached pear and a shortbread biscuit. The silky mousse expertly balanced richness with freshness and the fragrant, sweet pears complemented it very well. I tasted the biscuit and mused that this little piece of confection well represented the blended French and Scottish influences of this restaurant. Had I eaten this dish in France, I might have expected a Sablé biscuit on the side. Here, in Scotland's capital city, I enjoyed this national speciality made from a very short list of good quality ingredients. Accessibility: The dining room is at ground floor level. The toilet/washroom is on a slightly lower level a few steps down from the main cafe area. Prices: The daily set menu is priced at £25 for two courses and £32 for three at lunchtime. (£28.50 / £36.50 for evening service.) The menu which I would call A La Carte offers starters at £14 - £15, main courses ranging from £27 to £35, and desserts at £10 - £15. Wines are priced starting at £7.45 a glass and from around £30 a bottle. In Summary: The "Frenchness" of this cafe is not just about its decor. Classical French Cooking techniques are used in its kitchen. The atmosphere in the dining room is relaxed and the service friendly. Café St Honoré has adopted the French Bistrot mindset of people being there to enjoy the food and wine and not to stand on ceremony.

Soutra Café es un lugar favorito para ir, pero esta opinión es un atractivo para los propietarios / administración. Estás en peligro de perder negocios al descuidar la entrada de la carretera y el estacionamiento. Es un completo desastre, especialmente con el mal tiempo de los últimos tiempos, el aparcamiento es como un pozo de lodo. En cuanto al interior, ahora se está cansando y en mal estado y necesita una renovación. Las mesas y sillas son una broma, tan anticuadas, tambaleantes y muy incómodas. En cuanto a la comida y las bebidas, sigue siendo consistentemente bueno, pero los precios de los pasteles se están poniendo ridículamente altos. El personal siempre me pareció muy acogedor.

Truly original, this is a great bar. No food, no music, just a great atmosphere.

We had a lovely time at the Broughton for Sunday Roast. They were accommodating for our big group. The food was out of this world.

This place served such great quality food, so beautifully presented, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Felt that prices were right. Would love to go back here and have recommended it to friends.

Great local atmosphere. Food and coffee were alright and affordable. Enjoyed chatting with the owner and other locals there.

Hommey, good coffee… Scottish breakfast a lot… worth to try
