The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

This is a lovely pub with good programmes, delicious drinks, and yummy food. The service was excellent. We didn't realise we needed a reservation, so there was no seats available inside. The lady (dunno if she was a manager) explained that we could stay and have drinks outside until 8:30p.m., but she'd let us know if a table became available. Our drinks, Captain's orders and *can't recall the pink one* were just what the doctor ordered. I had an 6-hour braised beef and my sister had a burger. Both were sooooo yummy! Dunno why I didn't take pictures. I can't wait to visit on a Thursday - the steak is calling my name! The music was good, and at a sensible volume. The bathrooms are clean; there's an ♿ accessible one too.

I used to do the karaoke in this wee gem of a place. Not sure if it's still open as I'm sure i seen a lease sign up at front of it 🤔

Great family restaurant. The kids love it.

At a pretty nice crossroads. Right next to it there is a small street that leads to Greyfriars Cemetery, a “quiet and slippery” place if it has rained.

Excellent as always, lovely Easter dinner and friendly considerate staff especially Donna who took great care of us. Thanks again.

Went there for breakfast. Food was very bad and tasteless, I couldn't finish the coffee so bad it was. But the prices were 1.5 higher than Edinburgh. Pretty disgusting and it is a tourist trap

Went for Sunday brunch. Wrong dish served, the substitute contained different ingredients from what was on the menu. Pancakes tasted of bicarbonate soda.. Desserts menu requested, but never arrived. Staff were clearly not interested. Just asked for a bill and left. Such a shame, as a beautiful venue. Could have been so much better, if the owners & staff cared more about the customers.

This is the real deal. My favourite restaurant in the world.

Very nice place and very friendly staff. I went to Edinburgh on business and went to eat at this place because I liked it visually. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was calm, the staff was polite, they even closed the windows so that the visitors would not feel cold. When I return to Edinburgh next time, I will definitely come to this place to eat.

Nice friendly staff and great atmosphere

Visited on a Sunday evening, and they had live music on. Very good.

My partner and I were looking for a place to celebrate our engagement and found the Cannonball while walking around town. The food and drinks here were absolutely amazing! The cod was easily one of the best things I have ever had in my life. Safia and everyone else here were incredibly attentive and kind. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

Beautiful wee place. Room was lovely, clean and cosy. The bed was so comfortable. We had a delicious breakfast served in the morning and thank you to all the staff who couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

Never fails to please! Quick, friendly service. Food tasty and a good price. Great decor as well!

We had a lovely breakfast at the hotel. We did not stay in the rooms although perhaps during our next visit we will. The service was excellent. The food was delicious and everyone was very friendly.
