The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Good food (tasted different pies). We was asked to wait outside for 5 min, while the restaurant was totally emply.

Got the scallops starter, which was nice but nothing special for the price. We had to wait at least 20-25 minutes for our main mussels to come as they forgot about it. Which was fine as they didn't charge for the bread. Probably, they were in a hurry when making our mains as we felt it was not a proper full portion of mussels , we were a bit disappointed, actually. We would have not been annoyed by the described situation, but after asking for the bill, they put a 10%service charge on. I'm normally OK with service charge but after watching the most demoralised staff I've seen in a while for more than 2 hours and forgetting our mains we felt like it's a bit cheeky to put that SC on. Food was OK but nothing special, you'd probably get this food for cheaper and with better service somewhere else in town. We will not be rushed to be back.

Really good food! - A little pricey, but you get what you pay for here. Steak and scallops cooked beautifully.

Good bar, lively crowd, great location, great service.

Beautiful room and quirky touches - lots of space and very comfortable bed plus biggest bath ever(!) in room 12. Really friendly and perfect base for exploring Edinburgh and eating at Layla

Great pub with quite fancy menu

Stopped for lunch when walking water of leith path.well made tasty food served quickly.

Great tunes all night when we were in yesterday (19:00 until 22:00 or so).

Scampi was very good. For heavy metal lover!!

My wife and friends were here for two breakfasts and one evening meal. Service, food and over all experience were wonderful. Very friendly staff. Very reasonable price. All very happy customers.

Great food and quick delivery. Thanks!

Fantastic service! Friendly but not overbearing. Good Scottish food. Generous portions. Loved the smoked trout pate!

Amazing food and great service. Lovely decor as well.

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.

Great service and lovely food. Karolyne and Helen were wonderful
