The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Great place to eat, food was delicious, will definitely be back, all the staff are very friendly and pleasant, nice to see staff who actually enjoy there job

Ate here for lunch and had the soup of the day with a side of truffle & parmesan hash brown chips! Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. A nice atmosphere in a beautiful area of Edinburgh.

Great food, great service with a smile and honest opinion. (It's vegan which is even better) Very filling and hefty portions. Recommended for anyone in the area. Desserts are a must ⭐

Lovely Place in the city centre with a beautiful view of the Castle, the waiter (safia) very gentle and professional, the food was Amazing ( the huggis in special)

I stopped in here for a couple of drinks and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Location is perfect for the chapel. Room 1, was a newly decorated room, but comfort was absent. The owners went with cheap thin mattresses and pillows, left at 6am after giving up hope of any sleep. The interesting light feature: former corridor emergency light, just raised the discomfort level adding to the lack of sleep as it permanently lit the room in hideous luminous green.This room also boasts: smallest, coldest shower, cracked and chipped floor tiles, matching yellow silicon around the toilet base and corners. After eating in the restuarant, I can recommend sticking to the bar. Steak pie was overcooked, poorly seasoned, lacked texture, colour and flavour, puff pastry top had lost its puff, and was inedible. I did try contacting the owner, twice, but they couldn't be bothered to respond or acknowledge any issue. Be aware reviews are censored through their booking website. In sum: it's a pub, with rooms, no care for customer service, not comfortable and simply not worth the money. Suggest you avoid unless an insomniac.

Great selections of beers on the board and nicely placed for Tollcross, bruntsfield and marchmont. It's the manse converted, stone walls and a bit clashy for geezers with bad ears but loads of geezers like me were there enjoying a drink and the bar staff are unfailingly knowledgeable about the product. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited for the wake of a friend's funeral. The staff were very helpful, amazing food and very attentive. Plenty of spaces to sit.

Nice place with good atmosphere

Great food and good prices from a local favourite. Never had a bad meal there. No wonder it's so popular. 👍🏻

Another excellent lunch put on by McRae's Battalion Trust, excellent speakers and fantastic Company

Really amazing food, so glad we stopped by. Sunday lunch is 10/10 and the macaroni cheese was delicious. Will definitely be back.

If you are looking for an old school drinking pub with character, you couldn't pick better! Doesn't serve food to save confusion.

Great dog friendly pub, new to the area so first visit. Food was great but very disappointed when we seen the table next to us getting an Eton mess dessert and when we asked for two we were told “no because it takes too long and to order something else” so we just cancelled dessert. Very disappointing.

Quiet little pub near the st james centre, service was outstanding by Alex behind the bar. A little expensive but understandable for the location!
