  A top rate French restaurant in Edinburgh’s West End

  There was a lovely welcome as you entered this charming restaurant. The restaurant was busy during this mid week lunchtime however it was not over noisy and it did not affect the service. The food was of an exceptional standard. The fish of the day was served in a delicious sauce and beautifully presented. The front of house staff were attentive and friendly. You could go here as a group or alone to dine and feel very comfortable.

  Hidden Little Gem

  Just back from a beautiful dinner with my husband for his birthday. Lovely food, atmosphere and value for money. I will definitely be going back, food absolutely delicious, I recommend the mussels and the snails for starters, the steak for the main and the chocolate torte for dessert. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, I would recommend this place to anyone.

Popular French bistro in Edinburgh’s West End

The sister restaurant to L’Escargot Bleu on Broughton Street, L’Escargot Blanc is an atmospheric French bistro on Queensferry Street in Edinburgh’s West End. Vintage French posters and monochrome photos give it a dash of Parisian chic while the food is simple but packed with flavour and very carefully sourced. Many would say that the two L’Escargot restaurants are among the most authentic French restaurants in Edinburgh.

Impeccably sourced, Provincial French cooking

The finest Scottish produce and traditional French cooking make an appealing partnership at L’Escargot Blanc. Typical starters might be the Scottish gravadlax salmon with asparagus or the grilled snails with garlic, parsley and hazelnut butter.

Main courses might include a traditional bouillabaisse fish soup or coq au vin made with Gartmorn chickens. The two person rib of beef, carved at the table, is a carnivorous dream. The cheeseboard features well conditioned French and Scottish cheeses. As well as an a la carte, L’Escargot Blanc runs a good value lunch and early evening menu.
