- KKerryEdinburgh/Midlothian •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFood was fantastic, lovely ambience and the service was amazing! (13 year old said it was the best service we have ever had). Great place to celebrate my steak-loving son’s 16th birthday! (Personalised dessert gave that special touch too!). Highlight recommend - a steak lovers paradise! My husband used to work in this building when it was a bank - so tastefully converted and restored with some of the history retained; wonderful!More infoHawksmoor EdinburghPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Edinburgh•4.6

- SStuartEdinburgh/Midlothian •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoLe Bistrot is a charming French eaterie, tucked away in the centre of Edinburgh. We are a family of 4, with 2 children aged 12 and 15 and we all managed to find something delicious to eat - including dessert! Portions weren’t huge but perfectly adequate. The wine list was not extensive but our choices were excellent. The service was friendly and helpful at all times, we would not hesitate to return.More infoLe BistrotPrice: Moderate• French• Edinburgh•4.6
