West End Brasserie in Edinburgh, City of

Beautiful place with a good food and perfect service! Thank you 🙏

Very nice lovely breakfast couldn't finish it lol

The first place I went for a drink during my trip to Edinburgh. The atmosphere was nice and the servers were friendly! Truffle French fries are absolutely delicious! The wine and cocktails were really delicious too.

The environment is very nice. The employees are very polite. We stopped by for dessert and coffee. It was beautiful.

Really lovely staff. Breakfast was delicious. The place itself has a really nice and posh vibe.

Went here for Sunday brunch with a large group of friends. Even though they were busy they managed to accomodate 12 of us with out a reservation. Staff were very attentive and polite. Food was lovely and large portions so although some may say a little pricey its well worth the money as you get alot of food. Would highly reccommend and would defo come back

Always go here for breakfast when I go to Edinburgh 😁

The service was fine and the atmosphere was nice, but the food was really appalling. I got the gluten free Eggs Benedict. This was comprised of two untoasted pieces of white bread, store bought ham, and pre-made, cold hollandaise. The poached eggs also tasted very strongly of apple cider vinegar. For £11, it just really wasn’t worth the cost.

Fantastic food and service. Atmosphere was great for a family celebration.

Went to breakfast/brunch on Sunday 18th Feb. Most of us had a bacon roll, 1 person had granola and I had an almond croissant. Bacon rolls and granola were good, croissant was excellent we all had tea and/or coffee. Service was attentive and efficient.

Super good fish and chips. Had a nice conversation with a mother and daughter from Ireland

First time visit and won't be our last. Food was lovely, staff were so attentive and polite, what a treat

Great morning latte.. And friendly staff.

Très bonne brasserie, avec de bons plats simples et bien exécutés. Nous avons été charmés par la décoration, typique français. Le service était parfait, les serveurs aux petits soins. Je recommande si vous voulez une option sûre sur Edinburgh!

It is more an eating place than just going for drinks.Even the drinks were very expensive

Handy for town, worth a visit...

Really poor quality evening mean food but incredibly expensive - do not recommend at all.

What a gem of a place! We were passing and the French onion soup called us in. So glad we did - beautiful place, great service and glorious food. Very highly recommended indeed :)

Sehr schönes Lokal in top Lage. Sehr freundlicher Service. Tolle Auswahl an Gerichten und leckeres Essen. Auch sehr schön und hier am Nachmittag Tee zu trinken.

Very overpriced for what it was, we ordered sirloin steak and it was tough and fatty, I've had better rump steaks from the supermarket, we were not impressed at all. Also, the waitress started clearing plates whilst others were still eating which we found odd. I had a glass of wine which was nearly £13 a glass and it came warm. It just isn't good enough especially when you're adding yourselves on a service charge at the end too, I don't mind paying for a decent meal but this just wasn't it. Make your steak sauce pots bigger, it had hardly any sauce in it and was awkward on the plate as it was curved.

Gave this place a second chance after our last poor experience. Sadly, the service was still awful: waited 30 mins after ordering food, only to be told that the order was incorrect / mistaken and we would have to wait even longer. We left and went elsewhere….

Overall it was a nice experience, the food was a bit dry but the waiter was really kind. We enjoyed the music they played and the astethics of the place. We booked a table for 2 and got placed in a corner, pretty close to a couple other tables.

Acabamos de comer y solo puedo decir cosas positivas. Desde que entras la atención es especial, al detalle en todo y muy buena calidad. Todo el trato súper cercano y el vino blanco que nos recomendaron estaba buenísimo y siempre remarcar la atención y simpatía de Jan. Para repetir

This shop is an absolute recommendation! The food is unbelievably delicious, the service is very friendly and polite, and the atmosphere is magical. Would come back to the West End Brasserie anytime when we're in Edinburgh again.

Non sono rimasto soddisfatto da questa Brasserie. Il personale è stato sbrigativo al limite del corretto. Ho dovuto suggerire io una soluzione per permetterci di mangiare in 6 (unire due tavoli non era stato nemmeno proposto). Nella insalata hanno messo delle alici e non delle acciughe, errore pacchiano. Mi ha indispettito molto il fatto che a degli avventori entrati dopo il nostro gruppo sia stato servito un piatto che a noi è stato detto non disponibile … non ne capisco il motivo. Una altra nota di demerito è che al momento di pagare abbiano controllato che fosse stata inserita la mancia ( era stata messa in automatico a mia insaputa ), io non gliela avrei accordata dato il comportamento

I had breakfast here with a friend, we were close to the windows and we had a nicer views. Our order was served quickly and we enjoyed our meal . This is a cosy place, located in the city center. The staff is friendly and welcoming, I will come back there.

Ευγενικό προσωπικό Ωραίες γεύσεις ακριβό και το περίεργο...οι ανδρικές τουαλέτες είναι μόνο για την "ψιλή " ανάγκη

Atmosphere is beautiful. Food is tasty. Staff are friendly but service was very poor. We waited 45 minutes for drinks (Americano and latte) and had finished our food when they finally arrived! Staff absence was mentioned and the drinks were kindly taken off the bill. Gave them the benefit of the doubt and returned two days later, this time the food took 50 minutes with numerous items forgotten conpletely. Shame as the ambience and food are great.

Lovely environment, quick service, perfect view and location!

Breakfast was amazing, excellent presentation and delicious! Egg Royale and a full breakfast are highly recommended.

Food was good, especially the French onion soup! However we felt it was very overpriced for what it was.

Service was friendly and attentive. The food was not great, the Belgian Waffles were tough and hard to both cut and chew. Will try again, but maybe not for breakfast.

We had breakfast here. The quality of the produce wasnt great to be honest. Although the service was very good and the interior of the building was beautiful the food didn't match up. I went for a scottish breakfast. I felt the sausage and haggis was a bit stodgy. The eggs were very good. We were also served what i presume was supposed to be fried bread was it toast? Who knows. We werent given butter to accompany it. The server got us butter but it was absolutely rock hard. I had a mocha and an orange juice. Both were lovely. The Orange juice specifically was a real treat.

If I could, I wouldn't rate this even one star. We got SCAMMED!! My work booked a Xmas night out months prior and they still double booked us, telling us we had the entire basement floor when it was already packed. My advise is that the place needs to re-evaluate their management staff. They were insanely rude, disrespectful and lied straight to our faces. The "lovely" general manager was a huge (profanity), saying that we are in the wrong when we have the emails to say that our booking is real, and it is clearly on their systems (caught a glimpse of their ipad screens). After the initial engagement, some of the team got seats and then were SCAMMED by the bar staff. They were overcharged with additional drinks that were not ordered and the bar staff refused in some cases to provide itemised receipts. Bar staff don't just do that, I don't blame them, I blame the manager. When they got caught, it was like a little kid getting caught red handed, utterly childish and pathetic from a grown adult. We will be making a formal complaint, but this is to make sure that the public are aware of the real quality of this establishment. Complete joke. Never again.

Terrible management. We were double booked after being told the basement floor was ours. Terrible treatment by the manager who refused to take responsibility, and after a smaller number of us stayed came twice to say he needed the tables back.

Lovely. Relaxing. Good food. Staff excellent

Location: Perfect. Right in the center. A cosy place to have your breakfast or brunch with a nice window view. Food : Haggis were good and pancakes were just perfect. We visited the first week of december and the decoration was already as per festive mood. Thee service was good. Recommend it!

We had a dinner here and we enjoyed our time. Service was great and quick. We were next to the window so it was quite nice. Will go back there. Food quality was good, but the price could have been a bit lower. Overall, we had a nice experience.

Went here for brunch with friends. My eggs royale was so bad I had to send it back; cold, hard eggs, on a lump of old smoked salmon with a small pot of tasteless hollandaise with a skin on it. I’ve never sent anything back before but it then came back promptly with runny eggs on it, but still totally cold..! My friend had a simple almond pastry but it was so dry she couldn’t eat it. The food truly was awful… but the staff were nice and the interior decor, drinks and atmosphere were lovely. Come here for drinks but never food!

Decided to finish our overnight stay in Edinburgh by visiting this restaurant for lunch before getting the train home, showed to our table in a quiet corner where only 1 table was occupied and advised lunch wouldnt start till 12.30, we ordered drinks and gradually all the tables filled one by one, everyone else was served drinks and their food orders taken before us, we had to ask where our drinks were and then our orders were taken, i ordered small fish and chips which was delightful, my sister ordered a goats cheese, beetroot and walnut salad, which came as a bowl of what looked like rocket with walnuts and a few dollops of cheese, a few bits of radish and pickled shallots, not even a tomato, she searched the bowl but found no beetroot, we mentioned to the waitress who said she would ask the chef what had happened to the beetroot, no one came back to us but when the bill came the salad had been removed, that salad should have been around 14.00 what she got wasn't worth 4.00 never mind 14.00

We went here for breakfast today and we was one of the first tables to order before it actually got busy. The only thing on my full breakfast plate which was hot was the sausage everything else was luke warm at the best. I asked for fresh toast as this was freezing (and kind of stale) but I had actually finished and was ready to leave before the fresh toast arrived. There excuse was the kitchen was so busy, I dread to think what it's like here when it's actually busy. There was a lot of staff on as it was and only really started to get busy mid way through us being there. They did remove the service charge, and so they should have. The breakfast items were good quality and would have been a lot nicer if everything was warm, my other half had the eggs benedict and he enjoyed his, coffee and fruit juices were nice.

Wonderful food and staff. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and the wonderful views from our table.

A lovely find and the best meal we had in Edinburgh. Great place with high-quality food and service!

The venison was delicious! Plum crumble, and sticky toffee were a hit!!

Für moderate Preise,hat man einen schönen ausbilig nach draußen...Empfehle ich mit Lemoncurd🤩

Had the best hot chocolate I've ever had here. Baileys bliss. Better than the one my grandmother made, and she's very good at making hot chocolate.

The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a nice atmosphere as you walk in. The staff are friendly enough and fairly attentive. Prices are reasonable and what you'd expect for the location with a variety of usual meals available e.g macaroni, fish and chips etc. I went for the moules frites and whilst the portion of mussels was large it was just not quite right, but can't put my finger on why. The fries also tasted like old oil, which wasn't pleasant and only got stronger as they got cold. Would be willing to try again as maybe just a blip. Seemed fairly bust and everyone else seemed happy enough.

Place looked great, breakfast was really nice and service was class. Julian suggested trying the hot chocolate and it was defos one of the best ones I’ve tried so far. Would recommend and will be coming back soon enough! Super friendly staff

It was for breakfast that I made the trip here. Fifteen minutes after I made my order for a Croque Monsieur, it was brought to my table. Since I am very knowledgeable about French cuisine, I informed the team that the Croque Monsieur not authentic and tasty because they did not meet my standards. To my surprise, he came back and removed the item from my bill. I believe you will find the customer service to be excellent, and they are always looking for ways to improve. I appreciate all of your help and I look forward to dining in this restaurant again next time I am in Edinburgh. The orange juice was fresh and tea was fantastic though .

Ian was an amazing server he’s made our night so special, all the servers were amazing, thank you!

Amazing food, in a relaxed & friendly environment. So good, we went back again the next day!

Really tasty Scottish breakfast and cappuccino. Recommended!!

Enjoyable place to stop by anytime really. The bourguignon is fantastic. Service is top notch, Julien was great (and his banter was fantastic).

Friday night and we didn't have a booking but was no issue and everyone was so welcoming. Food came fast and tasted incredible. Callum our server was super attentive and Julian helped us choose the right cocktail to finish an amazing evening. If you are in Edinburgh this place is a must!

Le service est impeccable, le personnel est attentif et professionnel, prêt à répondre aux besoins des clients. Je remercie Julian pour ses suggestions de whisky et de cocktails et ses recommandations sur les endroits à visiter dans la ville. C'est définitivement une adresse incontournable à Édimbourg. Que ce soit pour un déjeuner d'affaires, un dîner en amoureux ou une soirée entre amis ; cet endroit saura vous charmer à tous les coups. Je lui donne sans hésitation cinq étoiles bien méritées !

Beautiful place, excellent atmosphere and outstanding service from Julian

We visited the West End Brasserie for drinks on a Saturday night. Julian our server was very accommodating and friendly. He managed to squeeze a group of 7, without too much hustle. The atmosphere is also lovely with great music!

We went for cocktails and really enjoyed this place. Julian was really great, he is very friendly and welcoming. Service is nice and cocktails are strong. I would recommend coming here. Next time I will try food, it looks great.

Very nice and cosy place, nice design withing, clean and tidy all round. Good atmosphere and music just hit the right spot. Coctails are great quality. We arrived on a busy Saturday evening and Julian was great and polite, managed to sort us out and is very customer service driven. A++

Me and my group visited the West End Brasserie for a birthday night out and couldn’t fault the quality and amazing service from the staff here, especially Julian for the recommendations of cocktails!

During our trip in Edinburgh we went to West End Brasserie for a proper meal. We went for the steak and fries, and although it was quite simple, the quality was very good! Steak was perfect, fries were good and we had a great salad as well. Thumbs up for the waiters on Friday 13th October👍🏼. It was a nice visit. Next time we'll come back for sure!

Piękny wystrój, bardzo smaczne jedzenie i bardzo miła i profesjonalna obsługa. Byliśmy grupą siedmioosobową. Szybko i sprawnie dostaliśmy pyszne dania i drinki.

Großes Restaurant 🍴 mit Kaffee ☕. Sehr guter Service, preiswert und schnell. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Visited on Saturday when looking for Usquabae, just find out it was closed. Instead, we enjoyed a nice dinner at the Brasserie. Food and atmosphere was amazing. Following our meal, Julian, the manager, suggested an amazing whisky flight. A definite recommendation at the centre of the city.

Excellent wee place to go for food and drinks. Great atmosphere and helpful staff. Extra shoutout to Julian who was very knowledge when it came to asking about good whiskeys

We stayed at the Angels Share right around the corner. It was such a sweet morning stroll to go to the brasseries. The food was great and reasonably priced. Liked the Scottish traditional food items a lot.

Looking for classic lunch, too many errors to ding wait staff, or maybe they should have known…first order out of stock, then fish cakes and carrots oos by noon, served alt side without main, allergy ingredients served after noted on order Ah, lunch of pea & spinach tarte served ok. It was a rainy day, maybe that was the problem.

Very French atmosphere with a great waiter.

Great outdoor cafe for people watching. Best fish and chips

We visited West End Brasserie on Wednesday morning for a nice breakfast before our tour started. We had a full scottish breakfast with fried egg and a plain croissant with butter. The food was very filling, tasty and of good quality. Our server, Chelsea, looked after us, she made sure we weren't running out of water for the table and kept checking on us until we left. We will definitely come back next time we are in town!

Very long wait for food. Extremely salty food. Never got desert. Waited so long I asked for the bill and left. Not a great experience.

The staff was soooooo nice! The service was a bit slow, though, but the food was good and the waiters were really nice to me

Came her for brunch and a cocktail for my daughter's birthday. Lovely food, service and decor. Will definitely come back.

Great food and atmosphere, mid to high prices, but expected given location. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

We have just had an amazing afternoon tea here at the West End Brasserie. The decor, atmosphere and food is something that will uplift you even on a wet Edinburgh afternoon. Thanks to the team at West End Brasserie for your wonderful service.

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Great food, lovely atmosphere. Super position to sit outside or in just watching the world go by.

Quite disappointing food and service. The vegetarian burger had a very unappealing texture and it took half an hour to arrive.

Posto molto caratteristico e ben curato, cibi di ottima qualità. Ampia scelta di whisky

Cute little bistro. Came for breakfast and it was tasty. My husbands favorite meal.

Second time having afternoon tea here at westend brasserie. Would thoroughly recommend it again. New menu - bruschetta, bbq beef brisket and egg mayo sandwiches were delicious. Great assortment of sweet treats including passion fruit & coconut macaroons, strawberry tarts and the best lemon drizzle cake I’ve had. Already thinking of booking in again with the girls

Great place e to eat and or drink. Staff are really polite and professional.

Came here for breakfast and had a really hearty meal with my very first taste of black pudding. Atmosphere of the restaurant was very comfortable. My huge gripe was with one particular service staff (lady with nose piercing and all, I should have noted her name but was so upset to) that made me and my partner felt really uncomfortable and racially discriminated against. Attended to us briefly to check whether we’ve completed our meals when clearly we haven’t. Rolled eyes at us and was utterly disgruntled when we asked for bill and while processing our payment. I observed another side of her when she was attending to Caucasian customers and she was all smiles and polite but was utterly rude and unprofessional to us the whole time, seeing that we are the only Asians in the restaurant that morning, it was clearly because we are Asians and are immediately seen as synonymous to illiterate pigs. I hope management can work better to retrain service staffs to present the best version of themselves in front of every customer regardless of their skin colour.

DO NOT come here if you have an allergy. They don’t understand the concept of cross contamination as my mom who is celiac ended up severely ill an hour after eating here. They gave her a separate gluten free menu however the server was not knowledgeable about cross contamination. She tried to go with a meal she knew would reduce the risk of cross contamination however she still ended up sick. If you have any allergies I strongly advise going elsewhere.

We were here about a week ago and were unfortunately very disappointed. The drinks came quickly and the food was also filled reasonably quickly. The disaster started after we ordered the food. We waited 1 1/2 hours for the food, or even to get the starter. Guests who came much later were already almost finished with their food and we didn't even have our starters. After we asked where the food was after an hour, they apologized and said that there was a lot going on and that's why the kitchen was so busy. Funny. The other guests who came after us were already having dessert. The waiter then came back to apologies and told us, that he wouldn't charge us for the starter for the inconvenience. When we received the food and ate, we asked for the bill, which took another 30 minutes. In addition, we were also charged for the starter, but after I had been sitting here for 2 1/2 hours and just didn't feel like it any more, I didn't complain after I had paid, as this would have taken another 30 minutes, to get things sorted out. The starters (vegetarian haggis) were really good and the main course (vegetarian burger and a burger with meat) were good also but not particularly outstanding. The location itself was also very nice, but unfortunately that doesn't help if the service is lousy. I would also like to say that I myself come from a service industry and yes, these things can happen and I was very relaxed for a long time because I know that these things can happen. But when something like that happens, you have to behave differently and make sure that no more mistakes happen after the guest has already let it be known that something is not going right. All together; if I ever would be in Edinburgh again, i would not visit again and i also cannot recommend. As you can tell by the other Ratings; this happened more than once already.

Won't be back. Used to be a great venue but my last two visits (today and last month) were dreadful. No water as requested when seating, no check back on food (steak), chips poorly cooked (double fried and cold on the same plate), no bill when asked and empty glasses on our table for the last half of dining. Sad to see it go but seems Caledonia heritage has killed another venue.

The food was nice the atmosphere was nice but the service could be a a bit quicker overall a nice place to go and eat

Had late night dinner here with my wife while visiting Edinburgh. Staff was helpful and made sure our food allergies were taken into account, and dish modified accordingly. Atmosphere was also exellent.

الطعام حلو جربت البرغر والستيك وشوربة البصل لذيذة جدا جدا

Rude staff. The bartender was rude and wouldn't answer a simple question.

예약한 호텔에 아침식사가 없어서 브런치겸 찾아온곳이었는데~~분위기도 좋고, 만족스런 아침식사를 했습니다. 스코트랜드식 하기스와 블랙푸딩이 토스트와 함께 나오는 식사였는데~~양이 아주 많아서 함께 하시는 일행분 있으시면 나눠드시는게 좋을듯해요~~세심하고 친절한 서비스도 만족스러웠습니다.

Lovely restaurant with really nice friendly staff. Smashing meal and beautiful clean toilets.

Sehr schönes Lokal, gutes Ambiente, sehr feines und appetitliches Essen. Sehr zu empfehlen, nette Bedienung

Best meal we've ever had. Beautiful restaurant and amazingly friendly staff. Thank you so much!

Perfect breakfast in a beautiful restaurant! I had the full breakfast and everything on the plate was nothing short of fantastic. Also, it's always nice to see such professional and friendly service in a restaurant. I'll definitely eat here again!

Very very slow service. Waited for over an hour for the food service. Drinks were served warm as they were sitting at the bar counter for nearly 15 mins before somebody decided to serve it to us. Overly priced.

Amazing scones with cream and jam. Great coffee . Beautiful setting looking out to Princes St and excellent service .

Excellent oysters, sticky toffee pudding, and cod meuniere. Service was very friendly despite us staying past close.

Enjoyed the steak dish...onion soup was bit odd seem to have a flour addition to thicken.. All that money to change Ryan's bar to the west end Brasserie.. Friday night and it wasn't busy..yet location is outstanding..

The view of castle is amazing, but it was outdone by the incredible flavor of the Cullen skink. It is one of the best soups I have ever had. My entire table ended up ordering a bowl after tasting mine. So delicious.

Great place, really nice food, lovely atmosphere and the staff are pleasant and knowledgeable. Everything deep fried is gluten free to get round only having room for one fryer and they do nice gluten free beer too.
