The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

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

Gran comida y servicio gran experiencia 👏gran compañía y gran tiempo ❤️ Definitivamente irá de nuevo xxxxxzzzzzzzzxxxxx

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

Fantastic overnight getaway at this fab boutique hotel, nestled in the lovely leafy suburb of Stockbridge in Edinburgh. Sumptious room, impeccably presented. Extremely comfortable bed. Dinner was top drawer Pumpkin hummus, smoked mackerel pate followed by a super delicious steak and mushroom pie Very restful sleep, a lovely long walk around the nearby Botanical Gardens and then a delicious breakie as pictured. Excellent coffee with real freshly squeezed oj. I don't recommend places often, but can recommend The Raeburn with confidence

Great pub. We visit here every time we come to Edinburgh. Friendly staff superb atmosphere and although we didn’t eat here this time we have before and it’s always been lovely

This place could be great and I hate leaving a bad review. But the food was pretty poor. Short rib was a large bit of bone with a bit of grizzle on it. Chicken dry. Prawns looked good. Beef tartare inedible. Staff lovely and view great but they need to step it up with food. Certainly won’t be returning but give it a go. It was maybe just an off night. Very expensive for what it was. I don’t mind expensive meals if it’s good but this was probably the worst food I’ve eaten in a restaurant in a long time. The shop fitters were in doing upstairs so perhaps they are just in a temporary guddle. They have a lovely outside area that looks right over to the rail bridge so it’s a lovely spot. Worth trying in case the chef was off that night.

The digital queuing system is sensible given how popular this place is, however being 8th in queue gave no real indication on whether that would be 30 mins wait or 1 hour and 30 mins wait? For us it was exactly 50 mins from joining the queue to getting in for a table. The food was nice, we went wanting late breakfast but by the time we were inside it was the lunch menu. The biggest ‘miss’ for us was the staff and overall atmosphere. The team looked absolutely done in after a probably very long and busy sunny weekend. (We had been at urban angel the day before which was exceptional - with loads of really keen and active staff).

Great cocktails...some of the best I've had. Even though busy and not booked still welcomed us. Will definitely returning. Popcorn nice touch. Coco-tini my new fave. 🍹

The Dog House has such a unique and cozy atmosphere! It’s a great place to relax, with friendly staff and a welcoming vibe. The fact that it's dog-friendly makes it even better—plenty of pups around to brighten your day! The decor is quirky, the drinks are great, and they play old music, which is a huge plus. It really adds to the charm of the place. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Edinburgh

Had breakfast there, lovely decor, staff friendly, but breakfast menu very limited, nice quality food though, very slow to,deliver despite only having 5 customers! We asked for more bread it took 20 mn to arrive and were told we would not be charged for a piece of bread! 😂 pricy for what it was! Would not recommend

Lovely restaurant Good service Interesting menu

Oakhams Green Devil was on last visit. Really good.

Herringbone at Goldenacre really has it all - excellent food, polite and cheery staff and a very relaxing atmosphere. It was an excellent experience and I would have no reservations about recommending this place.
