Malmaison Brasserie

We visited for a work meal and we all had a great time and enjoyed the food and drinks very much. The only small issue keeping it from being a wholly outstanding experience was the time it took for the food to come out, it seemed to take a long time for the mains to arrive. The staff were friendly and happy to help and did a great job, and the chefs also did a lovely job on the food. Overall, I would definitely recommend the restaurant and would come back.

it's not wrong to do something that's different now and then. for example, they could write a food review and maybe insert some movie references or throw some songtexts in the mix, see if someone noticed. but sometimes they want something traditional. like a Sunday dinner. this should be a nice relaxed affair with friends and family gathered around a big table. enjoy their appetizer and main course and overwhelm them with dessert and then sleep on the sofa in front of the telly.

The food was really lovely, and I had one of the best cocktails I've had in my life. The ambience is what you would expect at a Malmaison, and the music is always at the right volume for a nice meal. Our only complaint was that we were served by about five people, most of whom seemed to be in training, so we were asked if we wanted something else or if everything was okay about 20 times during a two course meal. Twice would have sufficed, and it didn't seem like the manager (whoever they were it wasn't clear) didn't know who was in charge of which table. Again, amazing food and ambience but service could have been smoother. View menu

I'm not one who rushes into a hotel restaurant, but we had our Christmas party in the hotel and they gave us discount vouchers for the restaurant so a colleague and I make time to use them. I think we were the only ones who bothered, stupid fellows! my expectations were not very high, but I did not have the red face on the left. the food was immense! I had the very good bride top burger. my colleague was served with a hug and perfectly cooked steak. for the desert we both went for the chocolate soaps, which was complete food porn on all levels! to read more about my visit, they go to my January-Post called well that was an surprise

I had bought a voucher deal for malmaisons on Sunday dinner, consisting of a suppe and/or buffet starter, a brunch or lunch and dessert. we were shown on our table and the menu that lists the contents of the buffet together with the main and desserts. there was a selection of brunch options, including a cooked breakfast, and for lunch options there were some roasts and some other main parts like burger. I decided to risk the full scale over eating and ordered the 1⁄2 frying. my friend went for eier benedikt. we had to wait for someone to accept our order, but we thought the buffet table was never too busy. that seemed to work...read more

Malmaison sits a little apart from the other bars and restaurants on the Shore in Edinburgh. The first time I went there for a drink was in the late 90s when a friend of mine was touring Scotland taking pictures for a French travel magazine. She was staying there and was most impressed with the rooms. That night we went back to visit old haunts and ate at Blue, which is now gone. My friend is still a photographer but she’s now based in Bangkok, on the other side of the world. Things change. Malmaison, thankfully, still stands. Last week, I went there and took the door to the brasserie instead of the door to the bar. It was the start of a delightful evening As well as a hotel and a...read mor...

There is nothing wrong with doing something a bit different every now and then. For example you could write a food review and maybe put in some film references or throw some song lyrics in the mix, see if anyone notices. But sometimes you want something traditional. Like a Sunday lunch. This should be a nice relaxed affair with friends and family gathered round a big table . You enjoy your starter and main course and overindulge with dessert and then fall asleep on the sofa in front of the telly So one Sunday lunchtime after a pleasant stroll round Stockbridge market, the family and I decided on the Biggest Sunday Lunch in town, (their words) at the Malmaison Hotel in Leith.
