The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Had a wee hit to eat and a couple of pints, doss

I was being interviewed for a major newspaper snd loved telling the reporter the history of The Little Kremlin. The ambience was quiet and the service was superb.

Really gorgeous bar and restaurant with a lovely club area upstairs. We had a cocktail making class with Euan/Ewan (sorry I don't know the spelling!). He was a great teacher, good fun and very accommodating, which just added to the experience for our friend's hen party! So big shout out to him. Thank you for a great time, we will definitely be back.

My brother and I popped in for coffee. Staff were welcoming and friendly - showed us to a table for four next to the window, so we could enjoy the lovely view in the sunshine. Service was great and coffee delicious. We liked it so much that we went back later for lunch. Again, the staff were helpful about a nice table away from the entrance and bar. Deliciously chilled Chilean Sauvignon blanc and a very good soup of the day. We also shared a portion of chips and they were fantastic - crisp on the outside and fluffy within. Altogether a great experience on a day when, for sad personal reasons, we especially appreciated being looked after! Thank you.

Visited this place several times and it is always very welcoming with good service. The menu is extensive and the food delicious. Good prices too. And of course a wonderful view from many of the tables.

I had fish and chips husband had steak pice and chips very friendly people really good towards disabled people will be back

Walked all the way along from the rail bridge end looking for a place for coffee and glad we chose Orocco Pier. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, service was good, view out over the Forth was excellent and the toilets were very good. Often places let themselves down by neglecting the toilets. All in all, very happy to have dropped in.

Sat down to find out they had no physical menus and had to order online. no problem. payment fails. we spend 5 - 10 minutes trying to debug but can't get payments to work, so we ask staff if we can order over the counter. they refused and told us that we could only order online. another 5 - 10 minutes of debugging and we ask staff for help with online ordering. refused again. so we left. since there was no way to pay for the £57 meal set we wanted. Ended up going to Pretz next door and the prices were better and the staff nicer. --- If you want to have online ordering that's fine, but you need to have an alternative / backup way to process orders. As a web developer, crossing your fingers and hoping a site will work on all customers devices is fool hardy. Modern POS are super cheap and totally affordable. So please don't skimp on alternative / backup ordering systems.

Had booked a table for 2 adults and 2 kids for Sunday lunch (carvery). Arrived and stood waiting for about 10mins before we were seated. Had a sinking feeling at this point as the place is v dated and there seemed to be little staff on. Initially only 1 behind the carvery and another who was on the bar and serving. We were taken to our table and left. Sat for 10 mins waiting for our order to be taken. Another table arrived with a new waiter and I overheard them being told to order at the bar. I caught waiter and checked this. Queued at bar where we had another wait and then finally got to carvery. A family ahead of us had given up by this point and plates half full asked for their money back. We persevered. Food was ok. Plates were cold and portions of meat were tiny. Extremely disappointed in our experience and would not go back. Do not recommend.

As the title of the review said says, don't get caught out with a parking ticket. Make sure you register your vehicle either at the hotel reception or the bar within 10 minutes of arriving, or you will get a ticket. As for the establishment itself, this is a Wetherspoons which, if you are familiar with the chain, is the same as the others, so you know what you'll be getting. It's in a suburb of Edinburgh. The main difference between this and others that I have visited is that the building is less spectacular, but everything else is as you would expect.

I almost never leave reviews, but I felt I had to because I felt so ripped off here. I'm a local and had time to kill before work so I popped in for lunch. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, but I got the smallest piece of avocado toast I've ever seen for a tenner. I'm still hungry. I sort of knew it would be a mistake to go somewhere touristy but now I know I definitely won't be back. There are nicer places on Cockburn Street, never mind the rest of the Old Town.

Prima afhaal restaurant met een onverwacht zitgedeelte met prachtig uitzicht. Eten smaakt prima, medewerkers vriendelijk.

We chose this place for its historical building. Food was good and there was plenty of tasties and cakes. The thing that we didn't like about this place was its expensive bill and the fact that there were few staffs to take care of customers orders. Wouldn't like to return.

A friendly welcome at the door, lovely coffee and MASSIVE scones (cheese or fruit). Really couldn't fault this little cafe and are looking forward to going back. Though we didn't try them, there were breakfasts, soups, cakes and more on offer. And the plant centre had amazing trees, shrubs and flowering plants that we really enjoyed browsing around. A proper nursery with muddy paths, hosepipes lying around, and staff who know things, not a garden centre full of tat!

I was trying the new menu and it was really interesting. Bold flavours playing with Scottish products. Plenty of veggie and vegan options out of the classic (the vegan pastrami sandwich was amazing). Affordable prices. 100% recommended.
