it has a light airy brasserie look with a cosmopolitan European look. It's glass-fronted (with frosting to protect from nosey passers-by) so the light is wonderful, even in on Edinburgh Winter's day
The Bread Street Brasserie hosts every last Thursday of the month a Vegan Evening and it's amazing. Although I am not vegan myself, some of my friends are and it's nice to have a place that does a really good three course dinner menu for them with very carefully prepared and presented dishes which also are very yummy.
It's quite a classy place and the staff are always very friendly.

So we have been ending the night here for the last couple of days, with a few drinks. The atmosphere is laid back and great to wind down. Tonight, we actually had some food, and that was really good as well. The staff has been friendly and inviting and is really attentive, unlike a neighboring pub, where I was passed by many times trying to get drinks after standing in line for at least 6 min(when I made it to the bar). The staff for me makes this place a must try.
Had a dinner night there. Loved the concept. Wee plates to share and I found out a little bit about Lord Monboddo (never heard of him, but pleased I do now)
Mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes tart was awesome. Pork belly and lamb flank (I was told that they make seasonal changes in the menu) were super delicious (to be honest not a big fan of the chickpeas with the lamb). Cauliflower fritters were nice. My biggest surprise was the Rhubarb burnt cream for dessert. You have to try it.
From the cocktails
The cocktail Born with Tails just perfect!
Definitely I'll come back. The team was fantastic. Well done everyone.
BEST meal on my trip was at my hotel. The quality and presentation were perfect. I enjoyed it so much I ordered it again the next evening. If you go, I hope you have the opportunity to meet Lorenzo. He was so friendly and attentive. I was lucky to sit at the bar with him and we had a lovely conversation.
To Management - Please keep these items on the menu. They were amazing! Also, please thank Lorenzo for his wonderful hospitality. I hope to see him on my next trip.
Easy place to come for a casual bite. Califlower bites were the best.
Dined there on our first night in Edinburgh, after long drive up we felt it would be perfect to eat there and explore more the following days. It was absolutely delightful, the food was immaculately presented, fresh, flavoursome and out if this world, It was sparsely populated with most people in there enjoying a nice cocktail and a pint of Innes and Gunn. I would highly recommend the restaurant, I had the Prix Fixe menu with haggis spring rolls. cod loin and chocolate fondant. It was all incredible. Just one word of warning, the wife had a cocktail that nearly knocked her socks off, they are potent and full of booze.
Great bar attached to the Hilton Doubletree Edinburgh. The bar is well stocked and the prices are not too expensive for a city centre hotel.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
The COVID-19 protocols were in place and enforced when we visited.
The best kept secret in town for a quiet drink. I love the laid back, relaxed feel Monboddo has. We met friends for dinner here a week ago but they'd just changed their menu and it didn't suit us. Still a great place for a drink though.
2018.... we've come back a few times since the initial review but we've found the staff to be constantly under pressure and unable to give the service you'd expect from such an establishment. Please remedy this as we want to come again for the great atmosphere and cocktails
2015 Excellent cocktails. Andrea is a total perfectionist! Every time we come to Edinburgh we come here. Love it
Brilliant evening. Loved the live music and atmosphere it helped to create. Staff were very attentive even when the bar became busy. Special thanks to Lorenzo who looked after us and made us feel very welcome and cared for.
Came here to use wifi, as my home is struggling with the internet connection at the moment. I was looked after by Lorenzo, who is a great bartender/server. He was truly welcoming, attentive, friendly and just simply great with customers. Had tea and scone, which was great!
They've got paper straws, which is always a bonus for me. I hope they've got other sustainable measures too. ;)
Also, two people walked in, looked at the menu, then wanted to walk out, but they were stopped by a team member asking them how they could make them happy. Just simply WOW!!
Lorenzo and Ines are excellent hosts and provide personal, professional and courteous service. We had a light meal and drinks in the bar, and the experience was exactly what we were seeking. Visit this bar with confidence that you'll enjoy the experience.
I've had many a great night in Monboddo and they place has always demonstrated excellent staffing a client service. I've often visited for networking as well and its always been a great experience. They used to offer free drinks for networking events. Food is great too.
It's a very classy bar with nice comfy sofas. Staff are good, toilets are immaculate.
Drinks are slightly pricy. This is basically the bar of Double tree Holton.
Went for drinks with friends, bar was well staffed and service was great. Good selection of wines and spirits, cool atmosphere. Would recommend for quiet drinks and dates.
Stayed at the Hilton Doubble Tree next door. We had a fantastic dinner and evening in the bar. Great food, wine, cocktails and live music! Nothing was too much trouble for Lorenzo!!
