Whenever I'm in a city with a Hawksmoor I jump at the chance to eat there. With being in Scotland they had cuts from highland cattle so couldn't resist a prime rib. The food is always amazing and the staff are passionate about their jobs. Hawksmoor Edinburgh is in a grand building with a lot of history you can learn about from a leaflet they have available.

A beautiful festive treat. We felt like we’d walked into a Parisian bistro somewhere off Place de la Republic. All the food was awesome (my bourguignon with buttery mash was delicious) and the drinks (rum old fashioned, bottle of Corbiere) were perfect. Add in an attentive service, great ambience and a wedding party, wandering through to rapturous applause, and we had everything to make this a highly memorable and enjoyable lunchtime. Highly recommended. Magnifique!
