    The entire period of time we spent at Kyloe from arrival to departure was excellent. Our waitress explained all the cuts of meats and gave us advice on shared starters. The steaks were all excellent.By chance, knowing South Africa, we ordered a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and it was very very good. Unfortunately after starters and steaks, most of us declined dessert. Kyloe will certainly be our destination in the future for a major celebratory dinner

    Our first full day in Edinburgh started with a tour of Edinburgh Castle and ended with dinner at Cafe Royal. Both were fabulous! Fish and chips, Balmoral chicken and amazing beef were all enjoyed by my party. Ending with the delightful sticky toffee pudding, the meal was perfect. Couple the amazing food with the warm and inviting surroundings, friendly service and holiday decor, we couldn’t have designed a more wonderful evening.
