Have always valued the Sunday roast but on this occasion it was just OK; meat was not hot enough, gravy seemed to have meat juices in it which is always good but included too much of the fat which affected the taste and it was not as nice. As for the horseradish cream not strong enough, it was more like clotted cream for a scone; and for its price was disappointing. The service, though, was excellent and highly knowledgeable waiter plus the choice of gins and was also excellent. People around us not having the roast were raving positively about the food.
This place didn’t disappoint! We wanted a little extra for Friday night dinner on our trip to Edinburgh. We got a little extra; the place was gorgeous, classic French interior and waiters in white shirts. Staff was very welcoming and attentive, the food was sublime, and a small, but high standard wine selection. If you want to experience some classic, high standard French food in the chill and welcoming Scottish atmosphere— go to Brasserie Prince!
Excellent food and very good service with a couple of negative points.
We really liked the salmon and the mussels, as well as the endive salad and the fries. The desserts were very good too.
4 stars instead of 5 for only two reasons:
- the salmon supposedly came with truffles but there wasn't a hint of truffle taste
- a 10% tip was automatically and discreetly added to the bill - I understand it's common here, but the way it was so discreet just really bothered me, especially for us tourists who are not used to this custom

Food was great, service impecible and lovely ambiance. Also a lovely touch as they over heard it was my birthday
The food and service are 5 stars! The best brasserie in Edinburgh. Thanks John and Calder.
Called in for my birthday lunch with my wife. I had a steak and sweet and my wife had the 2 course lunch menu. Fabulous food, in fact one of the best meals we’ve had for a long long time. Really nice staff who took time to chat and brought me out a macaroon with a candle in it which I thought a lovely touch. More expensive than our usual price bracket but for a special occasion I’d recommend it.
Just a quiet beverage in between shopping .
*Returned for my 50th birthday meal.
All I can say is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
from arrival, the staff were very polite and welcoming. Showed us to our table and had water straight away . The menu is very classy,with a good range of dishes to suit. Not over comicated either.
The cocktails are delicious, and the food was out of this world.
Quite a laid back restaurant, but the feel and surroundings are classic and regal. You really do want to dress up for a meal here. It's quite special.

We were here after being given a meal for two gift experience for Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
Although the restaurant was quiet, the atmosphere felt great and the music was perfect, making the restaurant somewhere we would certainly return to.
Portion sizes were very generous and almost too much, which is always a pleasant surprise at a restaurant of this stature.
We opted for the white wine included in the experience, and although it was the cheapest on the menu, we would happily drink it again.
The service from all the waiting staff was brilliant and there was never a moment when we were uncomfortably waiting for anything.
