Cod was very dry and overcooked, sauce with it was very salty, like seawater. Lemon tart, very hard base, meringue very sweet and texture of icing sugar, no cream of any type available, so had to pour milk on to take away the extreme sweetness and dryness as lemon was not sufficiently tart to give balance. Side of vegetables looked as if they had been cooked earlier and quickly warmed up. Candle was lit after we had paid the bill. Restaurant not busy, no surprise as unlikely to get people returning. Very sad, nice idea but not a good experience. I don’t blame the chef, I blame the owners for not investing in training staff. Waitress friendly but no action taken when she found we were not satisfied with the experience.

This is a really nice bistro on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Le Bistrot was a nice break from the pubs of Edinburgh; the staff was friendly and the food was genuine French and very tasy. Highly recommended for relaxed but nice dining.

This qualifies as a hidden gem. Tucked inside the French Consulate yet in the bustling heart of Edinburgh. We had a beautiful salad, Moules Frites and perfectly cooked salmon, as well as a bottle of Pinot Noir. The service was impeccable. The noise level was low and intimate.

Located on the Royal Mile, this place is hardly hidden, but it is a world away from most of the overpriced tourist tat it shares that iconic road with. It is a bona fide French restaurant of the best kind, not at all pretentious, and offering simple, classic dishes which are both tasty and filling. Service is prompt and efficient, and on the occasion of our visit the manager Nicky was very kind in allowing us a special favour for a 65th birthday. The clincher is that it is not at all expensive: £23 for a three course, PROPER meal on the most expensive piece of real estate in the city. We had a great meal, two hours in a fine and friendly ambience, and left thoroughly satisfied. Needless to say, we highly recommend you try it for yourself.

The beet salad was the favorite appetizer of the table. The beef stew , mussels, duck and linguine were all winners. Even the house white wine was great. We'll come back next time we are in Edinburgh

I have visited this restaurant several times as I discovered it a few years ago; soon after it opened and definitely pre-COVID and it is still one of my favourite restaurants. Prices have gone up, as to be expected but it remains a very pleasant eatery that offers value for money. Service, however, is slow and remains slow. This is not an issue if you are happy to enjoy a long leisurely lunch. Lunch with my friend who dawdles over her food is pleasant and unhurried - lunch with an impatient husband is different... choose your lunch partner accordingly! The portions are very good and I can rarely manage three courses but two courses is more than adequate. It can become a bit noisy when it is full, but that is often the way nowadays as restaurants increasingly have hard floors, which I think is the source of the problem. However, the fact that you often have to book to secure a table is testament to its ongoing popularity and I for one will continue to frequent it.

As usual a very enjoyable lunch in good surroundings, with friendly staff. As we have been reasonably regular diners during the summer months, we are hoping that a change in the menu offerings will soon be introduced, as currently it’s quite restricted and although very good quality it’s been getting a bit repetitive.

My salad Nicoise was dreadful. No potato no tuna. Tiny portion despite saying it was a main course dressing awful. Not recognised as a Salad Nicoise by me. Very disappointing. The other 2 meals were fine.

The service and ambiance were very good and I don’t have issues with people enjoying conversation, unfortunately the pork chops were so tough I asked for a sharper knife because both my nephew and I had the same and we were rocking the table trying to cut it. I hope this was an isolated incident and other guests enjoyed their dinner.

Fabulous meal . The beef stew was so tender and deliciously tasteful. Service was a bit laid back and sporadic but we were in no rush. Third time eating here during the festival and we will be back. Bag of pastries on leaving was a nice touch which we enjoyed on the train journey home.
