The White Horse - Menu

This was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Definitely goes in the restaurant hall of fame. Make sure you have the monkfish, but everything is sublime. Truly! Rob is an amazing waiter who really knows his craft and the menu. Make sure you come here!!

Not what we expected.Food was ok and presentation also.Restaurant had Atmosphere but something was missing.Waiter very friendly.Restroom was not clean also the entrance and steps going down there.If we went to the toilets before dinner we would leave right away.

Amazing place! Seen lots of reviews on this place and myself and wife decided it was a must visit on our trip to Edinburgh, it did not disappoint! The service was brilliant and the food stunning! The crab Scotch egg is an absolute must, that being said all the food was brilliant. The staff noted it was our anniversary also. View menu

Absolutely smashing, plates of posters, monkfish, Scallops and lobster. Glass of champagne, ice cold guiness and watching the world go by. Some of the best seafood we've eaten in a long while, not sure where other people are reviewing with their negativity. Go somewhere else, saves space for people who want to have a nice time. Friendly and efficient service without any pretentiousness . Thanks to all xxx

Great gastronomical experience. I’ve visited this restaurant with my husband and my baby. We enjoyed every single dish, specially the oysters, they were fresh and tasty! We also tried different cocktails, they were really good. The waiters gave nice recommendations and took really good care of us. I would totally recommend this place if you visit Edinburgh city Centre. 5 stars to the Staff, Food and service.

So disappointed. The Lindisfarne oysters were sublime, and shucked well. The first dishes thereafter were stone cold. The octopus was awful. We literally couldn't cut it with a knife, it was so tough. We left it. We weren't asked about it when the staff took away the plate. Hassel back potatoes were basically just boiled potatoes. Not crispy. Potentially microwaved as they were unusually hot. The monkfish satay was delicious. The lobster tempura was dry and we were still chewing it after a couple of minutes. I'm not exaggerating. We weren't asked once how the meal/food was. Not even when paying. Really odd. I'm not one to moan in my reviews, but this experience was not good. View menu

My fiancé and I had the most amazing dinner here for my 40th birthday. We had been here before a few years ago and the food was delicious and at the time we didn’t think the food or service could’ve been any better until we visited last night. We were welcomed in and looked after by Alex she was very knowledgeable and passionate, she really did look after us. We were informed that the restaurant had recently hired a whole new team, what ever they are doing it’s working, the front of house staff were all so friendly and welcoming and the chefs are creating the most delicious fresh beautiful seafood, it was easily the best meal we have had in a long time and we can’t wait to come back when we...

Awful experience at White Horse on New Years Eve. We were really excited about it as a friend had recommended the restaurant. However, it was a complete nightmare from the moment we stepped in. Thankfully a local pub down the road saved our NY from being ruined. On arrival, we waited in the doorway to be welcomed for 10 minutes, with staff members passing but keeping their heads down and not saying hello. Twenty minutes after our booking time we were then seated. The atmosphere amongst customers was awkward and you could tell lots of people were complaining and trying to get waiters attention. They were clearly understaffed. We were then told that they were out of most food, with only 5 item...

I am a regular at the White Horse, have been coming for years and left a good review last year. I booked an early table 5pm on New Years Eve with my family and shortly found out that things have changed for the worst. To start with, we were told that were no Seafood Platters which is the main part of the menu. This is the reason why we booked a table here as my kids love them. We then ordered from the small plates menu. The Sourdough Bread £2.50 per slice with smoked garlic was burned. The Straw Fries were soggy some were drooping over the bowl . When the Octopus arrived, one was a good size and the other was tiny. I then had to quickly cut them up and redistribute resize to my kids before t... View menu
