    Another great meal at one of my favourite Edinburgh restaurants. Café St. Honoré is a fantastic and authentic French bistro with a wonderful seasonal menu which is updated regularly. The quality of the food is outstanding and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. One of our party has some food allergies and they made sure he was able to make informed choices to get a meal he would enjoy. The gluten free bread is amazing and the chefs were on top form. Eating here is always a pleasure and we'll definitely be back again.

    Easy to book and I was able to modify my reservation. Food was tasty and servings generous. Our server, Matilda was friendly and helpful. It was a bit noisy, in the Brewhouse Bar, but we soon got used to it and would definitely recommend and go again.
