The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Worst experience we have encountered. shabby establishment. Dirty tables and floor. Standard of food the lowest we have encountered ever. Carvery very limited and quite frankly disgusting.

Love this place and the staff that work here. Always very nice staff and nothing is ever a bother. Food is very tasty and never had any issues

Another outstanding meal at The Cuddie Brae, Newcraighall. Wonderful service from Alastair and Leanne. Manager too can’t do enough for us! Food was amazing. Definitely one of our fav places to lunch!

Had an amazing dinner here a few days ago. The Sun Inn is welcoming, cosy and dinner was cooked to perfection and promptly. The lovely young lady serving us was called Felicity and was very pleasant indeed, making sure we had everything we needed. Well done, we will be back.

Mi sono fermato con la famiglia per il pasto e mi ha attirato il loro menù e il locale. Devo dire che la fortuna mi ha baciato ed abbiamo consumato un pasto eccezionale , ottimo il cibo e le birre , vivamente consigliato l’haggis tradizionale davvero buonissimo, ottimo anche il fish and chips. Personale gentile e premuroso.

Wij verbleven in het naastgelegen The Melville Inn hotel, tijdens ons verblijf heb ik ontzettend goed glutenvrij kunnen ontbijten en dineren in The Melville Inn restaurant, vriendelijk personeel en een gezellig restaurant/bar, ook voor een glutenvrij biertje.

Perfect for occasion and great staff. We hired the function room for a wake. The food was amazing the staff were there and helpful but not over the top. There were leftovers and they helped us take them home plus they didn't rush us out even though there were only a small number of us. They were just amazingly hospitalable. Lovely people, lovely venue and highly recommend.

Oh dear what has happened?! Although it has always been expensive you didn’t mind as much as service was always great and had a buzz. Sadly it’s died a death no atmosphere. Wine came before water very very poor.

Lovely quiet restaurant with quick & efficiency service. Fantastic service from Jill who tried to help me generate the Blue light code required for the 25% discount. Most frustrating.

5 star dinner 😀 everyone was lovely and hot, the Yorkshire pudding where giant. Thank you to our wonderful server kirsty-dawn who let us the some Yorkshire puddings home.

We all got fish & chips Absolutely fantastic we will be coming back soon. The staff were excellent and extremely friendly.

Inexplicably just stopped being a restaurant. Can't find anything about it online. Open but for what purpose I don't know. Now the guests at the associated premier inn next door have nowhere to eat. We were regulars and it was great to have somewhere affordable and reliable to get a meal. We are owed an explanation.

First time we visited here, but we'll definitely be back again. We hadn't booked a table (Friday lunchtime) but despite being quite busy the friendly staff were able to accommodate us - though it's popularity means I think I would book the next time. The menu has a great variety from snacks to full three course meals, and with many of the options already Gluten Free, or able to be adapted to be Gluten Free, and they give good helpings of their delicious food at sensible prices. Looking forward to planning our next visit already

A truly good restaurant, with good food, good service, and super views of the Forth Bridges. A particular note of thanks to Ellie, for GREAT service!! It always makes such a difference to a visit to a restaurant, when you are served by someone who is efficient, and has a nice personality!! Food was excellent....particular mention of the Mussels...fantastic! Keep up the good work!!

This restaurant was very busy on our visit, it is also dog friendly if you want that facility. We were put on a lower table because we had 2 dogs , but the restaurant was very busy and quite noisy as it was a Friday evening. The food and drinks came quite quickly considering how busy it was, good choice of both but portions were not that big. We didn't have desserts but menu looked good.
