The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

We went to Old Pal which is a new restaurant at this location. Great food and lovely, welcoming vibe

Lovely place and staff, just a shame they don't understand you can't serve food to vegetarians/vegans that's been cooked in with meat! Gross.

Went in here with my wife for Sunday lunch . We were handed our menus and shown to a table by a young girl . While we looked at the menu a couple came in with a small baby . The only table available was one with high stools and the girl said they couldn’t get a high chair in there . On hearing this my wife said to the waitress that we would move and the young couple could have our table where they could fit a high chair and we would move to the table being offered to them . We then sat for fifteen minutes and watched people who came in after us being served . Eventually we got up to leave and I asked the waitress why nobody had approached us and she said the table we moved to was not waitress service . Why didn’t she mention this when we moved to help the young couple . It was obvious we had been shown to that table and given menus when we came in . The waitress response was I’m sorry . Not good enough . Wouldn’t go back .

This is a lovely old building, lots of fire doors, (5 to go through to get to my room) half staircases, lovely decor, small bar, wonderful seating area, has a meeting room too. Bath and shower in my room! Staff were amazing, helpful navigating the area, assisting with our luggage hold requests, and friendly. All budgets accommodated. Location is ideal, reasonable walking distance to most everything we needed.

Four of us just had a lovely meal tonight .The food was delicious and the service we received was excellent.

Voy a ser breve. Fantastic. Excelente comida, servicio y experiencia en general. Gracias a Deepak & Ovi por su ayuda con la reserva y hospitalidad en nuestro servicio de cena. Fue una gran experiencia. Muy recomendable.

We had a fantastic evening last night at Papavero. We were a sizeable group. Greg and his team couldn’t have been more accommodating. The food was excellent, the service superb and they were very patient when we sat on. Thank you for a terrific evening!

Had a family lunch here, Easter Friday! Would highly recommend! We were a party Of six adults, two children and a baby! Place was busy but we were given a fantastic table, the waitress was superb and the food was excellent

Very nice pub with local lagers and pleasant waiter.

Couldn't fault our dinner with friends at Ducks. Friendly service, lovely atmosphere and incredible food. In particular I have to shout out the desert which featured a sea buckthorn sorbet - genius! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Nice coffee shop good menu plenty of choices and good prices spoke on menu about old fire station and hooks under ceiling would open up to view these hooks and open up the parquet flooring to highlight the pit spoken about Toilets well presented baby changing mat but no place to put mat other than toilet seat no soap in wall dispenser but soap provided in bottle at sink plenty toilet paper and hand towels very nice staff nice decor would recommend for coffee and something to eat very nice coffee THE COFFEE MAN

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

This is a formal tea room and restaurant with good service and helpful staff. Probably best to have tea/coffee early on in your morning tour as it gets busy. The scones are fantastic and for 2 of us with coffee came to £23. So certainly not cheap but quite an experience.

I came for lunch today with my Mum and Aunties. I hadn’t been before. The service and food were amazing. The sizzler peppercorn chicken was superb and the biscoff cheesecake was the best I have ever tasted. The sharing Sunday roast was quite something! What a feast! I will be back for sure. I never write reviews but had to come on and leave a review.

Finally made time to visit sycamore cafe and the wait was well worth it, location couldn’t be better in the centre of Corbridge ( parking takes coins not card) we went for the £12 lunchtime special, Lebanese chicken wrap and a falafel wrap,truffle Parmesan chips as a extra 3.50, food is hot and cooked perfect served with salad and house coleslaw, you also get pudding chocolate brownie (hot) with ice cream and absolutely delicious little bits of chewy fudge. In the price you can have a 125ml glass of wine or a half of cruzcampo or a soft drink or a coffee americano I think it was, the quantity and quality of food you get is excellent value for money. A big mention to our host Helen who was very friendly chatty and very polite, she made our lunchtime very relaxed, so thank you Helen. If you’ve not been please try you won’t be disappointed
