We had to change our booking from Thursday night to Saturday night due to illness. The staff were excellent and accommodating. We had a fantastic night once again at this fabulous hotel. The ambiance in Rhubarb is just perfect. My husband had the guineafowl and even though my fish dish was excellent I did have food envy. Thank you Prestonfield for making Saturday our Valentine's Day.
Rhubarb is one of my favourite dining establishments in Edinburgh; it's luxurious and opulent, but without any pretentiousness. Located within the stunning Prestonfield House Hotel, the ambiance and decor are both incredible. The circular dining rooms are adorned with Victorian style drapes, rich fabrics, and antiques, and the large windows provide views of the beautiful grounds and Arthur's Seat in the distance.
I've been to Rhubarb twice - once for dinner and once for afternoon tea - and both were fantastic experiences.
I sampled a three course dinner in October as part of the Edinburgh Restaurant Festival. Soup, hake, and a chocolate lava cake - all three courses were beautifully presented and delicious. We finished the meal with a cheese board, which was served in one of the drawing rooms on the upper level. Four Scottish cheeses, quince paste, truffled honey, and oatcakes - it was divine!
Champagne afternoon tea was also delightful. It may not seem like a large amount of food, but my friend and I both left full and satisfied. There's an assortment of sandwiches, two savoury items, scones with clotted cream and jam, and various cakes and sweets. Standouts include the fresh scones with home-made raspberry jam, goat cheese pastry, and chocolate passionfruit macaron. The champagne was lovely as well.
The service is top-notch, and every staff member is friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
I can't recommend Rhubarb highly enough!
This place is spectacular! The location is stunning. Countryside villa with dining Rooms, details are incredible, service kind and elegant but not too much, even in jeans you can feel comfortable. The lounge rooms upstairs are my favourite part, feel s like going back in time. Not cheap at all but worth every penny
