Best Lunch Restaurants in Leith

Excellent food. However, put a service charge on the bill and still accepted a tip without pointing this out, which seemed a bit cheeky.

What a great find on Leith Walk. Restaurant has a really nice ambience and not too big so the noise level was just right. The staff were friendly, helpful and didn’t constantly interrupt you whilst you were eating. The menu has a good selection of tapas and main meals but not too many choices that your overwhelmed. As for the food it was amazing, fresh hot and very tasty. We didn’t feel rushed after we finished our food which was very nice as we needed 10/20 minutes before we walked back into the town to meet friends. Would highly recommend this independent restaurant.

Welcoming restaurant with excellent ambience. Busy chatter but not loud. Food was excellent with a french flare that made it feel you would walk out to the warmth of the french countryside at the end of the meal Service was attentive but not intrusive Good value for money

My girlfriend had been wanting lobster for nearly a year and we couldn't find anywhere for it but she said herself upon eating here "this is the best thing I've ever tasted". It made her day honestly and the staff were amazing! We had a few staff members come over, they were all lovely and served with a smile- I had the sirloin steak and it was perfect, obviously my girlfriend had the lobster and absolutely loved it. Cocktails were delicious too, and it was lovely to have water on the table throughout, they were very attentive and kept the refill glass full. We will absolutely be back, my girlfriend even asked me when we would be 😂 Thank you hawksmoor for a lovely meal, and for a delicious steak and lobster.

Another great meal at one of my favourite Edinburgh restaurants. Café St. Honoré is a fantastic and authentic French bistro with a wonderful seasonal menu which is updated regularly. The quality of the food is outstanding and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. One of our party has some food allergies and they made sure he was able to make informed choices to get a meal he would enjoy. The gluten free bread is amazing and the chefs were on top form. Eating here is always a pleasure and we'll definitely be back again.
