The best restaurants serving French food in City Centre Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

The Cafe Marlayne is wee gem of restaurant right in the city centre. The restaurant has an amazing atmosphere with really nice buzz with nice friendly staff. My compliments to the chef for producing amazing tasty food that looks great and tastes delicious. The deserts have amazing taste that makes you suck on the food to get that’s rush to the taste buds that’s make the whole experience well worth the visit. We will definitely be back and thanks for the delicious food you served.

Excelente almuerzo y muy buena relación calidad-precio. Dos platos cada uno con un vaso de rojo de la casa (muy bebible) e incluyendo el servicio era de £ 66. El servicio fue muy bueno con un excelente ambiente

Excellent service even though it was very busy. Ladies very friendly and attentive. Afternoon tea delicious

Had a fabulous dinner here. The food was very good and the service excellent

Delicious crepe with generous filling, but the service was a bit slow.

Good service, great coffee and good desserts. Friendly and kind staff!

Delicious breakfast in original or vegetarian Friendly service and on days when pubs are still closed in the morning it was a great alternative for us

Went for pre theatre dinner and had the deal for 2 courses and a glass of wine each . Had quite a while to wait on our wine arriving but when it did , the red and white was worth the wait . Wife had the trio of pork to start and i had the tiger prawns .. both the starters were superb and had us looking forward with anticipation to the main course . Wife had cod and chips and i had Bolognese linguine . We were quickly brought back down to earth . Wife found a large bone in the fish which as you know leads to every mouthful being chewed slowly and carefully .. just incase . My Bolognese , oh dear ! It was the most tasteless and unappetizing plate of food i have had in a long time . There was zero seasoning in the pasta or the Bolognese . I asked the waitress for salt as there was none on our table , i put some salt on it and mixed it together and it was still tasteless. I ate a little more and was going to send it back when my wife said she would give it a try and i could try her fish as she was terrified of finding another bone . I managed to finish the fish without finding another bone however my wife could not manage to finish the pasta and agreed with me that it was probably the worst pasta dish that either of us have ever had . The waitress did ask if she could get us something else , but by then we both had lost our appetite. Lovely place but dont know whats going on in the kitchen !
