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!

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!

Absolutely fabulous lunch. Place is cute on the outside but doesn't look particularly special. Ate in the back room and loved loved it! Sausages with lentils were outstanding. Pam fried chicken also outstanding. Will definitely come back the next trip to Edinburgh!

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 !

Truly a superb dining experience in this small restaurant on the grass market…read more The ambiance is just beautiful with small rooms in this ancient building. The walls are stone but they have been whitewashed beautifully and then hung with fin de cicle French advertising posters. The service was impeccable without being clingy. They have a short but very nice wine list. We went with the red table wine (house wine) and it was very good. If you are there for lunch or before 7 pm they an excellent play du jour special. We were there later so we started with the escargot. Very good version of this dish and came out piping hot served with a very good baguette (what else do you expect at a French restaurant?). I had the salmon in a fume blanc sauce with crayfish. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the sauce was excellent. Both dishes came with very very good potatoes. The wife had a sea bass which was served with veggies, olives and balsamic reduction l. Truly amazing. They have a very nice list of desert and after diner wines (sauterne anyone ?) as well as aperitifs. But we were just too full as the portions were very filling. This is a gem of a restaurant. Highly recommend

The staff is rude, dismissive, and only wants to move you out as fast as possible so they can turn the table. Food either takes forever; or comes out all at once when you aren't ready -- depending on how busy the staff is pushing other people out of the restaurant. There are a few solid places on Grassmarket and this is among the options at the bottom.

The seating was comfy, and the restaurant was clean and bright, with several excellent options. The restaurant is a higher end, but they have a lovely lunch/bar menu they allowed us to order from even though it was dinner time. My husband opted for a burger, and I got the Caesar salad. We also had breakfast here every morning. It was delicious, with so many options. If you have the time to order something off the menu, I'd suggest an omelet.

It was beautiful indeed and the service was good. At first glance at the menu I was a little disappointed because I was in the mood for brunch type of food, but settled on the sourdough bread with crab. The crab was smothered in butter, but tasted so good...and Edinburgh had some of the best sourdough bread I've experienced! The menu was a bit sophisticated for our teens, but there was a kids menu for them to order from. They enjoyed an order of fish sticks and french fries. If I were to come back I'd probably go for dinner over lunch since I think their menu is better suited for that, but overall was a lovely meal.

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.

I'm tempted to not give Number One 5* because it was really pricey. To which you will say, "It says…read moreon the website that it is going to be expensive." And you would be correct. I was prepared for this. But even still, when I got the bill, I internally gasped a little. Ultimately, it is fine, because everything was so on point. The service couldn't have been better. It is probably the best service I've ever received at any restaurant ever. Incredibly welcoming & professional & knowledgeable. The somm was the best somm I've ever interacted with. The depth of knowledge was outstanding. The food? Unreal. We ordered from the 3-course tasting menu. Me: 1st course - Pittenweem Lobster - Outstanding & wonderfully deshelled; 2nd course - Warwick Farm sirloin - incredible cook on the meat; 3rd course - Sticky toffee souffle - really fun & playful! In addition, we were offered 3 amuse-bouches, and had the opportunity to purchase a mignardise + tea or coffee. Plenty of food. And everything was beautiful. Pictures attached. Dress code was smart casual. I saw another Yelper say to not wear jeans. Jeans are fine. I rocked the jeans + jacket & tie + chelsea boots. Fit right in. Worth a visit. I'd go back, but only after replenishing the coffers.
