The staff were extremely nice, and the restaurant and toilets were clean.
Really enjoyed my whitebait and truffle chips. A Delicious wine to top it off!
Stayed in the Hollyrood hotel and will definitely be back to enjoy both again.

Based in the 4-star Marriott Edinburgh Holyrood, The Restaurant serves up classic ingredients from farm and sea with a twist of fully packed flavouring. Using only the finest in locally sourced meat and fish, the focus is on elegant simplicity. This means that world-renowned Aberdeen Angus beef and hand-dived North Atlantic scallops will both be jostling for your attention on the menu (and, most likely, on your plate as well).
The Restaurant is led by Chef Glen Roach, who believes that meat and fish combinations lend themselves well to creativity.
The menu is divided into various sections, including sharing platters, The Restaurant’s signature dishes, From the Farm, From the Sea and vegetarian.
Uniquely, you can also sample a selection of dishes infused with Eden Mill craft gins, such as Carlingford Oysters.
Other highlights include George Campbell & Sons whole Scottish langoustines, wild halibut with cock-a-leekie veloute; and 32-day aged steak with your choice of cut and served with lobster tails, scallops or langoustines, as well as sides.
The decadent Surf & Turf charcuterie platter offers a range of smoked treats such as wild boar, Arbroath pate, sliced beef and Scottish mussels, accompanied by pickled cucumber.
Veggies can tuck into dishes like the hand-picked herb risotto samphire or wild garlic gnocchi with pomegranate.
The Restaurant is a five-minute walk from Holyrood Palace and Park, meaning that you could combine your meal with a bit of sightseeing. Waverley station is around ten minutes away on foot and if you are driving, then there is parking at the hotel.
