The Abbotsford serves wholesome pub food in one of the busiest parts of Edinburgh’s New Town. Classic pub fare is the mainstay of the menu, with dishes including beer battered haddock and chips, steak and ale pie, and haggis, neeps and tatties, and diners have the choice of dining al fresco, in the main bar, or in the restaurant. Situated at 3-5 Rose Street this is a pub beloved by diners and popular with locals and tourists alike. Edinburgh Waverley station is a five minute walk on foot, and historic Edinburgh Castle and the famous Royal Mile are a ten minute walk.

    Not a huge menu to choose from but quality is better than quantity. I had the haggis and it was perfect. Lovely staff, lovely ambience and not too expensive.

    Found the steak and ale pie to be a bit heavy on some spice (was it coriander? Not sure) and meat to be a tad dry with a bit less gravy than we’d have liked to help with that. Out of tartar sauce for fish - did give option to change order. Wonderful amount of vegetables on the side were appreciated!

    Good food - steak pie had lots of good meat; no gristle. Cost of wine good for City Centre pub.

    Nice neighborhood bar and restaurant. Food was fine, drinks were fine. Pretty normal for Eberle. Probably would try something else the next time.

    Our first night in Edinburgh and we could not have picked a better spot. Not touristy or pretentious just a solid small upstairs restaurant for dinner and drinks. We enjoyed everything we had.

    We had a hard time finding a table for 6 one evening and found one here. The downstairs bar was gorgeous. We ate upstairs and the food was delicious. Our waiter kept us in stitches all evening. We had a great time and would go back.
