"Exceptional food and service at the Grand Cafe within the Scotsman Hotel Edinburgh"

10.0

I recently had dinner at the Grand Cafe in the Scotsman Hotel with my daughter and grand children. The restaurant is beautiful and the A la Carte menu was fantastic; the choice was good and the food was of an excellent standard. The children were offered a different menu to suit their younger tastes. Their portion sizes were good (not too small so suitable for children rather than a toddler for example) and the children enjoyed their meals. They particularly enjoyed the delicious desserts! I would strongly recommend the Grand Cafe for anyone wanting a memorable experience with exceptional food and both efficient and friendly staff. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our visit was special. I will definitely be making a trip to the Grand Cafe a part of any future visit to Edinburgh.

Location

Booked thru booking.com , they charged a lot of money and tried to stick us in a tiny room, and said there were no other rooms available. When we went down and said we were not happy they gave us another bigger room. This is for $600 per night. Next time we will stay at kimpton or princes street

"A wonderful weekend. Even the weather was fantastic"

10.0

Great location and the penthouse suite had a fabulous balcony overlooking the city. Staff friendly and efficient. Knowing it was a birthday celebration there was complimentary fizz and a message with best wishes. Amelia at reception was a star.

On one of the days the breakfast service seemed a bit slow but perhaps the kitchen was backed up with orders. The food itself was gorgeous.
