Lovely staff, amazing food, incredible cocktails
I absolutely adore Monteiths. It's my favourite hidden gem off the busy Royal Mile. The interior is cosy and Scottish without being tacky, the staff are so attentive, the drinks are beautiful and the food is gorgeous. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough - you must go!
We always eat here when we are in Edinburgh. It's a hidden gem and I always recommend it to friends. The service is great and the atmosphere in the restaurant is fantastic, there's a great energy with a good mix of people. The steak is a highlight, I ordered a rare fillet and it was cooked perfectly. The orchard bramble cocktail is always a personal favourite but this time I decided to try a few others too. They offer a cocktail with bee pollen and heather and this is a must try! I can't recall the name of the gentleman serving us last time, I believe he said he was South African? but he was really fantastic and attentive and chatty despite how busy it was.
This restaurant is hidden away from the famous royal mile in the old town. You would love the entrance to the restaurant -- tree branches to make a arch along the alleyway, it seems like you are entering a secret garden.
The food: although it took quite a while to prepare the food for the party of 5, the food was worth waiting for.
The drinks: this restaurant also has a good selection of wine, we've tried theses two, both reasonably priced and good to go with red meat. -- Chianti Classico La Pievanella, and Torres Mas Rabell Tinto
I will definitely come back to this restaurant for my next visit!
