The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Balmoral pies where superb enough to make more than your mouth dribble

After arriving at the coffee shop at 3.30, told that they were closing in half an hour, and if we wanted to sit outside, the tables and chairs would be removed soon, so they could only do take away. That was ok, we only wanted three coffees. Sorry we came in when we did, in hindsight we maybe should have gone to one of the many other coffee shops in Linlithgow, and spent our money there - and sorry for asking how to pronounce the word Neuk.

We stayed here for 3 days on a golfing trip.Fantastic! Staff were amazing, food was lovely, would definitely stay here again! What a lovely little town. We ate dinner in the tavern, was very nice. We also tried the local curry house as recommended by Lorraine behind the bar, fantastic. The third night we tried the local bistro, nice but I preferred the curry house. Opinions though. I would highly recommend this tavern.👍 We were down to play The Glen one of the days but it was closed as it was too wet. Lorraine behind the bar arranged for us to play Archerfield instead. Wow! Really nice. Thanks Lorraine, very nice of you to sort us out.

Schottische Tradition pur! Der Aperitif im Garten mit hervorragendem Blick auf die wunderbar gepflegten Blumenkompositionen. Dann ein 3 Gangmenü was absolut super angerichtet und geschmacklich ausgezeichnet war! Sehr gut und das zu einem fairen Preis!

This is a lovely gallery to visit, with the RSA just across from it, it holds paintings by many famous & historic artists - such as Van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer, Claude Monet & many more. Definitely worth a visit & as an art student, it’s influential.

Got a lovely warm welcome on a cold and wet day, my wife and I ordered tea and freshly baked fruit scones. Service was great and staff were friendly. Will definitely be returning the next time we are in the area.

Went for dinner restaurant was pleasant and food was tasty the location was convenient as we were staying in a b&b near by

As meals for vouchers go this was quite good value. 2 courses from a menu with a reasonable selection.

Was gifted vouchers last Xmas, and to be perfectly honest didn't really think it would be something I would particularly enjoy . But have say I was completely and utterly wrong, the whole experience was fantastic. The food and service were excellent. And I would highly recommend it to all.

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 ☺️

For the relatively high prices charged we would have expected decent cuisine. Instead the dishes looked as if they were thrown together. Linguine floating in a tasteless sauce with a few bits bits of dried chicken.. Red Thai curry …..dried chicken, very little watery curry sauce at the foot of plate. No offer of chutney. We have eaten here a number of times but will certainly not be back. Something has gone seriously wrong in the kitchen

Nice little gem, off the Main Street. The full Scottish breakfast was very nice and filling, ready for the activity of the day. I recommend if you want something different to the cafe chains.

The chicken and veg and chips were ok but the dry powdery lumpy mash was really bad. My friend had to mix it with the sauce on the table and even then it wasn’t very nice.

Before we arrived had speedy replies ro any questions, owner called us on the day to check when we would be arriving as he had to pop out and didn't want to miss us. On arrival we were met by Emma who was just so friendly helpful and smiley we booked breakfast for the next day for £8 each. We went to the bistro for tea prices of drinks reasonable and for the size of the portions of food the price reasonable again we were served well by Emma. The room was fairly clean and comfortable peeling borders on the walls weren't great and folder on window ledge was quite dusty but otherwise room spot on. Loved the history of the navaar and how they tried to incorporate within the decorations in the room. Was very shocked to arrive back after a day in Edinburgh to find the room had been service and supplies restocked really nice touch. Could hear the bus going passed quite early in the morning but I'm a very light sleeper.

Nice personnel, lovely athmosphere. I had a Laphroaig whisky and and a pink wine. Great to have a drink and a chat.
