Amazing French Toast and berries. Streaky bacon was great
M K.

This place was AMAZING! The best breakfast we had in Edinburgh. The service was outstanding, the food came out quickly and wow it was tasty, and the interior was so cute. I wish I had tried it earlier in the trip so we could have gone back again! We had a reservation but it wasn't too busy. 10/10 would return here.

We started with the asparagus app. I thought the breading was too thick but my wife liked it. I had a fish stew. It was tomato based and included mussels, shrimp, and fish. The fish were all well cooked and the dish was tasty. My wife had the salmon and béarnaise. The salmon had been hammered and was dry and tough and the béarnaise was thick and separated. Cote did notice that my wife ate almost nothing of her main and comped dessert. Dessert was a strawberry-rhubarb mess. This was very tasty, I took the photo after we were done.

I didn't realize before my trip how connected Edinburgh is with France. As it turns out, there are a number of amazing French restaurants in Edinburgh. Cote's dinner selection was amazing with a perfect mix of higher end meals and comfort food. The desserts were tasty without being too rich. The service was fantastic and I can't wait to come back and try Cote again!

Vegetarian breakfast and late. Both are fine. Coffe is good. Busy but service is nice.

Eggs Benedict Florentine & Fully cooked breakfast special!
Hannah S.

We came for breakfast today and it was perfect! I had the eggs Benedict Florentine and my husband had the fully cooked breakfast special that includes a juice and a hot drink for about 10.95gbp. Both meals were delicious! My eggs Benedict were soft and delicate and the sautéed spinach added the most excellent savory flavor! We also had a mocha and a cafe creme. The mocha was far superior to the cafe creme. Very friendly staff and cozy interior. Great location...perfect way to start a day of sightseeing!

Even though this is considered a "chain" it was an amazing meal. We got there before 7om and had there 3 courses for 14 pounds . My appetizer was langoustines popcorn style with a delicious sauce. My friend had the artichoke hearts to die for. For the entrees I had the most delicious sea bass with mash and fennel salad . My friend had a really tasty steak frites . Then the deserts ! Chocolate mousse and chocolate pot - wonderful . To top it all of, delicious full bodied red for 22 pounds. Service was terrific !

Lovely bistro in the centre of town. Good quality, tasty French fare. Faultless service. Could easily become a firm favourite in town.

The ox cheeks were deliciously tender and unctuous with a puréed parsnip and gravy. The coconut green curry chicken was above average. The coconut milk steamed mussels and fresh as can be sea scallops were perfect! Drinks - spot on and well worthy of a return trip for these alone. Rhubarb ginger gin fizz in a champagne flute topped off with Prosecco helped remind us it was still summer. The espresso martini was light, frothy, not cloyingly sweet, and our favorite rendition of this popular drink as we've ever had. Dessert - it had to be sticky toffee pudding, and we practically needed to roll ourselves out of there at the end. Ambience - lovely! A great outdoor table on Victoria street. A 3rd floor walk up ancient stone steps to the bathroom was a treat because the restaurant was so beautiful, and nicely passed the time with our 3-yr old. The service, so very nice and accommodating. All around, a memorable and very satisfying meal!

The restaurant is in this old townhouse with a very cool decor and cozy setting. Very enjoyable.

We were finally taken in by the two course for 18.95 set menu as neither of us was ready for a three course ensemble and the price compared to much less renowned restaurants in sleepy Oxford. I was a little concerned about how pretentious the place would be, as this is the Scotch Malt Whisky Society after all, with a private members club upstairs. However, the interior was quite modest, with an eclectic collection of modern art work and open curtains allowing for just the right amount of natural light coming through. We went around 6:15 so it was quite quiet when we arrived. The staff was a little bit somber and standoffish but the service was reasonably quick. The food was actually quite impeccable in terms of quality with seasonal items dominating the dishes. My first course was a thick and creamy Pumpkin and Parmesan soup which was more like a smooth puree with pickled pumpkin along with bits of hazelnuts and porcini mushrooms. My lovely boyfriend went for the soused mackeral with white crab meat, carrots, and dill. He reported the mackeral as being fantastic. For the main we both had the Serrano ham with sweet potato puree and a crunchy blackened fig which complemented the crisp ham exterior perfectly. The glass of white wine we had was glorious as well with the ham. Overall a well-thought out menu and an atmosphere to which I couldn't in good conscience give 3 stars. Although everything was truly delicious, the portions were almost appalling. If we hadn't been lured out by a friend for an impromptu appetizer right beforehand, we would have been left almost completely starving. Slight less empty space on my main dish would have left everyone satisfied.

We had a fantastic dinner at the Michelin-recommended Number One at the Balmoral. It was our last…read morenight in Edinburgh, and our goal was to have a truly special evening. In terms of service, atmosphere, and food, that's exactly what we got. My wife and I both had 5-course tasting menus. As a vegetarian, I was especially pleased they were not only able to accommodate my diet, but do so in a spectacular way. The experience was opulent and comfortable from the moment we walked in. We were seated at a very comfortable, spacious round table, next to each other with a view of the rest of the dining room. Kind of felt like royalty. With such a nice, upscale place, it's easy for the atmosphere and staff interaction to feel overly important and stuffy. Not so here, though...all of the staff we interacted with, from the host to the sommelier to our server, as well as the person who brought our food, were all comfortable and fun. The sommelier was particularly engaging and gave us a nice sense of him as a human who cared deeply about what he was presenting to us. The food was outasite...especially as a vegetarian, to be so thoughtfully and well taken care of was fantastic. Everything was beautiful and delicious...the courses were not too large...so the meal, despite being 5 courses (plus lovely amuse-bouche canapés), was designed to be finished...and finish it I did. (Not to mention a healthy portion of the seeded bread and butter they brought. We added on the Balmoral honey dessert as they have bees on the roof of the hotel and the honey couldn't be any more local than that. We wished they'd brought one for us to share, but they brought us 2 separate ones, which was more than we needed after 2 five-course meals, which already came with dessert. There were also many solicitations of add-ons- macarons, after-dinner desserts, drinks, and cheeses...it did feel a tiny bit like they were looking for every opportunity to add items to our bill. Also, tiny disappointment...we had mentioned during the reservation that it was our anniversary dinner, and when seated, they did ask us about that to confirm...but at no point during the meal after that did they acknowledge that in any way. Besides that, the overall experience was fantastic, indulgent, and delicious. Highly recommended extremely fine dining experience in Edinburgh in an historic building.

Expensive but you come in expecting that Tasting menu was…read morefive courses for 135 pounds and 3 course was 115 pounds Good wine List and great Scottish forward dishes with a seasonal inspired menu They did a great job with dietary restrictions even with the tasting menu
