Malmaison Brasserie - Edinburgh

The food at this restaurant was delicious, and I enjoyed one of the best cocktails of my life. The ambiance was typical for a Malmaison, and the music was at a perfect volume for a nice meal. Our only complaint was that we were served by about five people, most of whom appeared to be in training. We were asked multiple times if we needed anything else or if everything was okay during our two-course meal. It seemed unnecessary and confusing, as it was unclear who was in charge of our table. Overall, the food and ambiance were amazing, but the service could have been more organized.

Located in the charming waterfront suburb of Leith in Edinburgh, this restaurant offers a visually appealing setting. While the food was satisfactory, the service left much to be desired. We were surprised to find an unordered main dish on our bill, along with a 5 pound charge for bread that was not advertised. Additionally, gratuity was automatically included in the total without our consent. When questioned, our server explained that it is the restaurant's policy to add extra charges without informing customers and wait to see if they notice. There are better dining options in Leith to explore, so it is advisable to carefully review your bill if you choose to dine here.

Not having much like in Edinburgh recently. We ordered steaks which were OK, not great, just OK. My wife ordered a chocolate fondant for dessert. Waiter said that the regular chef was off, so it may take longer than usual. Fair enough. 25mins later, he comes back and says he's had to bin the one he made as it was a disaster. Couple of espressos on the house. Fondant eventually arrives solid in middle. Deleted from bill. Need better chefs. Won't be going back.

Nice setting not to noisy for time of year and staff were great so all in all a good night and will definitely be back

After viewing the menu's online I decided to book a table and we were not disappointed. The food was beautiful and a lot of thought had gone in to selecting flavours that bode well together. The service could not have been faulted and we would be happy to return again.
