Café St Honoré

We were very happy with everything. Food outstanding, and attentive, friendly services. Couldn't be better.

Had not been here for about ten years so thought it was about time for another visit. We went at lunchtime, and given the price of the somewhat limited dishes on the main menu (more expensive than places like The Ivy), opted for the fixed price option. This in itself was no bad thing, albeit the food was pretty average. What was of greater concern was the speed the dishes arrived at - it states it is an Express Menu but this was verging on ridiculous. The first course arrived less than 5 minutes from ordering and we had not even finished the aperitifs., with the second and third courses arriving within minutes of the previous plates being cleared. People at other tables using the Express menu did not seem to be under the pressure we felt. The wine list is very expensive for some pretty average wines and not much for under £30. All in all, pretty disappointing but we maybe picked the wrong day.

Honestly the best food I’ve had in a while! It was all delicious. The gluten free menu was just as varied as the normal menu (for once!) and all incredible. The staff were lovely and attentive. Would really recommend visiting!

I have been twice before and each time it has been a very memorable meal and a restaurant I would highly recommend going to!

A very good evening in a cost and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent food and service.

Never recommend as tastes vary. As so often happens service becomes less attentive as meal progresses! Restaurant IS good but cant say it is "outstanding". Wines mostly expensive

My first visit (but on the recommendation of my wife who had been previously for lunch) and the whole experience was excellent. We chose from the a la carte menu, and it is not cheap but well worth it for a taste of French style. The wine choice was also excellent (and also not that cheap). I'd highly recommend it.

Cosy atmosphere, welcoming staff and excellent food.

Excellent service and ambience , quiet initially but as room filled up , and wine consumed , noise level quite high

Food very good . Set lunch good value and excellent for one guest , but others needed to get what they wanted from a la Carte which is a bit pricey .

A little bit of Paris in the centre of Edinburgh. Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere.

Understated and outstanding, the Cafe St Honore was a perfect setting for a winter lunch.

I have been there 3 times now, and the food was always delicious and the staff very nice. I really recommend this restaurant.

delightful Sunday lunch with super menu choice-tranquil area of city,well worth the off-beaten track location for an authentic bistro experience.

We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the staff very kind.

Terrific lunch on a quiet Sunday. Food is good and substantial. A lot to like about a place which doesn't change but doesn't stand still.

Absolutely delicious food and great customer service. We had not been for a while but were delighted to be back

A recommendation that didn’t disappoint. Cosy venue with excellent food and attentive service.

We have dined at Cafe' St.Honore' several times before! Always very happy experiences!

Food was good however the dessert was a disappointment with the topping burnt and tasting as such. As a diary free option it was not interesting or worth the money paid.
The service was okay but the staff weren't particularly warm or engaging.
We'd visited for our anniversary. Would perhaps visit again for a lunch or evening meal deal but not for a special occasion as lacked lustre.

I have not been to this restaurant for 30 years; it was a favourite of mine in the late 1980's.
The service and ambience were excellent.
The food was good, although one of my guests complained theirs was cold.
Nice choice of wines.
Uncomfortable chairs!
Very enjoyable lunch . Could hear what people were saying. Not too noisy.

Lovely food, great service - not intrusive, but always on hand when needed . Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service and very genial surroundings. Off the main thoroughfare but worth seeking out. A lovely bistrot experience.

Very overpriced for what you get. The food is plain, at least it was on the night I was there. I would not go back.

Excellent service - food was first rate , haven’t had better duck confit anywhere , including here in Paris.
The cheese plate is a gold-standard and should be taught in culinary schools as to how to present and plate .
Thank you

An ambiance is achieved by the intimacy of the restaurant with hints towards the French influences, tables are quite close can be drafty near the door seating.
Portions size are French cuisine style, choice is limited but varied. Good wine list. Reasonably priced.
Overall a pleasant experience, well cooked and served.

This place did not disappoint. I was looking for a romantic venue for an anniversary meal for a husband with a penchant for French cuisine. The dishes were all perfect for him and wide ranging enough to suit all tastes. The atmosphere and decor made the night feel like we were genuinely in France. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a similar experience.

Good restaurant. Staff were very friendly. Food was served quickly. Portion sizes were a little small.

This is our third visit and it has always been a pleasure - nice size, no obtrusive music, lovely food, no pressure.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. The service was great

Lovely lunch experience- attentive staff, amazing wine and food! Highly recommended

Really disappointed that there was no turkey on the Festive Menu despite booking at table at 12.15pm for lunch on 23rd Dec!

Unfortunately fixed price choices on menu too limited which meant choosing from main menu. However, as always food, great produce, very tasty and well presented. Welcoming service and good wine choice.

Post theatre visit, ate from set menu, borscht and rib sticking pork belly. Very tasty. Fast friendly service, charming old French bistro ambience and music

Thanks. Goats cheese salad starter and fish of the day, halibut, were great. The Christmas turkey was ok but not that good.

Worst thing was poor service as we where there towards the end of lunch and the servers started setting other tables around us and took a long time to take the additional requests. Eventually they didn’t even processes these and wee had to leave by collecting our own coats and going to the bar to pay. The staff would do well to remember that customers shouldn’t come second even when shifts are changing and tables need relayed.

Perfect for quiet lunch before an afternoon shopping!

Really good food and very attentive service; good atmosphere and quiet.

Used to visit every time we went to Edinburgh.... Extended our restaurant range over the last few years.... decided to try again . Menu a little lacking in choice(Christmas?) although well cooked and very tasty....wine good value.... Staff really attentive making it a really lovely evening

Cute little place tucked away from the crowds! Great for a date night or small family dinner.

Service patchy, at times inattentive inappropriate glassware for aperitif and digestif, food ok but not commensurate with the high prices. High end gastro-pub fare.

It’s just a lovely place to eat. I had beef featherblade and it was divine.
