The best restaurants serving French food in Edinburgh and Lothian

I went to dinner twice during my overnight stay in Edinburgh… beautiful location and very attentive and helpful waiters. quality food. highly recommended.!!

I could run away to this magical bar. Definitely worth a visit for all witches and wizards at heart.

Delicious food. Pleasant atmosphere. Centrally located. Average prices for this area and type of restaurant. Found table with no problem at c5pm.

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

Délicieux repas, en prime, des serveuses agréables, souriantes, avec le l'humour et à votre écoute en cas de "panne" de vocabulaire. Le cadre aussi est sympa.

I’ve been here a couple of times and really like it. There’s a takeaway counter at the front of the venue with a scattering of tables to the rear. It’s a bit French theme with brilliant sandwiches and pastries. I went for a smoke salmon sandwich and cream cheese baguette. It wasn’t the biggest but it was beautifully presented and really filling. Nice wee touch with the old school juice bottles as well. It’s not as hectic as others in the area. There’s music in the background that doesn’t interfere with the ambience. The menu isn’t the biggest but what it does it does expertly well.

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

Service was perfect, particularly Safi (apologies if I've got his name wrong) who was very polite and attentive. Food was spot on, really good and no issues talking us through the gluten free options for my partner. Only improvements we'd say is the chairs need an update, but not something we were super fussed on considering the food and service were so good.

The cafe is small but doesn’t feel like it sitting inside. The service was great and staff very friendly and quick service. Had a cappuccino which was really good and very big at a great price and Mum had a lovely cake with her coffee which was delicious and very fresh and came with some cream. Will definitely be back & would recommend for coffee & cakes. The people beside us got heated croissants & was saying how lovely they were and fresh also. Thank you for a pleasant coffee and cake.

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 !
