The 30 Best Steak house in Edinburgh

“It was my first time in Scotland and first Indian restaurant in scotland and I must say that really great food. We asked them to make it Indian spicy and it was worth saying that. All the dishes were delicious. Being served and taken care by their two of the girls and they were very hospitable and good at their work. Highly Recommended”

“We had a group booking here and tried the churrasco experience - it was fabulous! Delicious cuts of beef, chicken, pork and lamb always arriving, and access to the market table. Also tasted a brilliant wagyu beef!”

“Took my family for dinner. Food was great quality and quantity. Staff friendly and helpful. Took to the bar after which had the football on. Mixed age groups, all welcomed and a cosy fire.”

“An excellent place to eat. I had smoked haddock starter which had real smoke taste. Partner had starter scallops cooked to perfection. I had venison, exceptionally tender with raspberry sauce. The whole chilli in syrup was fiery and unusual, loved it. Partner had cooked perfectly hake. We drank a bottle of white, had desserts (not quite as good). Absolutely great place for a more special dinner, good value outstanding cooking.”

“Loved the place unreservedly! The service was not only friendly the waiter was very knowledgeable and mastered the answers to all our questions about the beers, wines, their bread and of course their meats. Not only did he speak about the products but also about the purveyors past and present! And best of all the food was delicious and great wine selection. I also enjoyed the design of the place. Overall top notch.”

“If you desire superb food and atmosphere, then this place to go but be sure to book a table. It's located in the city center not far from the Scott monument. From the first moment we felt welcome and the place has a nice and calm atmosphere. We celebrated our anniversary there and both of us had the wagyu steak for our main course. You can choose from several different side orders. All to your choosing. The steak was perfectly prepared to our liking. The staff was very welcoming, helpful and service minded. Truly a place to recommend.”

“Great steak, and cooked perfectly”

“I love establishments like this one. The ambiance, the waiters, the food. It is really comfortable being there and you know you are going to have a good meal. I had the fish soup which was tasty but not amazing. It had haddock and salmon in it. The fish pieces in the soup were a little chewy. I assume its because the soup is made in a big batch and kept warm during the entire service so the fish gets overcooked. It may be a good idea to add the fish last minute. The scallops were amazing. One of the best I have had. They were really fresh and sweet. The plate worked really well as a whole. My gf had the mussels so no comment on those. It was a shame that I had stomach problems and couldn’t eat much. I will definitely visit again to try lobster and langoustines.”

“We enjoyed a wonderful tea in the bistro today following my mother's funeral. We received so many comments on the generosity of portions and lovely fresh food on offer from everyone who attended the tea. The food was delicious and obviously lovingly prepared and the serving staff were very attentive and very friendly. Well done to all!!!”

“Lovely lunch with friends. Food was amazing and staff couldn't be any nicer. Thank you!”

“Lovely restaurant in a fantastic hotel. Our only meal here was breakfast and our full Scottish breakfast is excellent. Breakfast was also well done. In the evening the restaurant and bar are packed. This is obviously a place to go. Prices good. Attentive and professional staff.”

“This place is fantastic!!! Take away the view, and it’s a fantastic pub/restaurant. The menu is to die for and the beers are incredible! Best place I’ve ever eaten! Then add that view back in and I want to move in and live here and eat this food forever!!!!! THE STAFF ARE THE NICEST PEOPLE!!!! and have made us feel so welcome!!!”

“Wow this place is just fantastic. A hidden gem. The food and service were excellent. Such a beautiful location, good parking and baby facilities. Family friendly. Definitely will be back.”

“Went as a couple during a trip to Edinburgh. We booked via OpenTable, but on arrival, we weren't in the system :( The place was packed, but the lady at the front desk found us a table just over an hour after the original booking. I can highly recommend the bar next door's French 75 and Old Fashioneds to help pass the time :) I had a 950g porterhouse, medium, with a good charring. It was delicious. Pink and juicy, melt in the mouth stuff, with fat rendered so it dissolved in my mouth. I think my girlfriend enjoyed her food too, but I was too distracted with the beauty that was mine :D”

“I could not find the name of this place for the life of me! My husband and I trotted in August 2024 and were greeted and served by Duncan. Firstly his service was outstanding super welcoming, patient, and informational. Our food and drinks were delicious. The restaurant is located in such a cute little corner near the castle and when you sit outside you can have such a beautiful view. I hope I’m blessed with another opportunity to visit again!”

“This place is incredible!! The food was reasonable for a high end product and atmosphere. From the moment we entered the staff were very kind and helpful, asking us about our day, and offering to take our coats. Moments like this made it better than better. The food and drinks menus were both detailed which made it perfect for an overthinker like myself for picking the perfect drink. The food menu was the same, and described exactly what you will get. My partner and I shared the chateaubriand which was a perfect serving for us (with the extra sides) the beef melted in our mouths, and the sauces were amazing, I’d especially recommend the Malbec and bone marrow jus, it was an excellent extra for the beef. Sides were perfect, the broccoli tasted Smokey and cooked perfectly to be soft with a small crunch, the spinach was refreshing and lemony, the mushrooms were peppery and were a larger portion, and the chips were lovely and crispy with a fluffy inside. The staff were great, so attentive and helpful with our questions and chit chat. I couldn’t recommend this place more, for a high end meal with a better price tag than some steakhouses. Amazing!!”

“The Princess Diana haggis was really delicious. Smoked Scottish Salmon Bites and Scotch Eggs did not disappoint. Prompt and friendly service. Good whisky range.”

“Ive been before and the pizza always hits the stop. Seasonal beer are always fresh and interesting and a must get. Perfect place to watch the rugby and enjoy some good beer and food.”

“Visiting Edinburgh and found this gem right next to our hotel. Rancho Steak House served one of the best steaks we’ve ever had! Great portions, amazing flavour, and very friendly staff. Highly recommend if you’re staying near Princes Street”

“Stayed here overnight 21 august 2025 as we were going to meadowfield to see acdc. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We stayed in room 5. The room was lovely, comfortable bed. Breakfast was perfectly cooked, quality ingredients. Really can't fault this hotel, would gladly stay here again.”

“Best Kabab in Edinburgh, portions large and well worth a visit 10/10”

“Yasir was an excellent waiter. The service was top class. And the food took me back to the streets of lahore. It was amayyyzing. Dynamite chicken was good. Biryaani felt homemade. And we ordered garlic chilli chicken with cheese naan. Very nice. highly recommended.”

“The char on the porterhouse was great! This is steak done right on the pan, better than sous vide. The sauces were also memorable. Our favourites were the blue cheese and the bone marrow sauce. The chimichurri helped cut away the monotony of beef, fries and the savoury sauces. It provided the tangy, spicy flavours necessary to finish the 800g steak. The best deal was that on Tuesdays, the porterhouse was going for £50 with 2 fries and 3 sauces, instead of the usual £80. The happy hour earl grey martini was also refreshing and a great pairing to cleanse the palette after the meal!”

“Upon arrival I was provided some interesting tasting popcorn. Rib eye steak cooked to perfection with delicious flavour. Extra thick cut chips crisp on the outside, buttery smooth on the inside. Crisp, fresh salad. I could not fault the service or the food. Thankyou”

“Modern interiors set within the converted arches next to Edinburgh Waverley station (car park/Market Street side) A contemporary bar downstairs with a sleek restaurant upstairs. We were walk-ins on a friday night but they found us a table within 15 minutes. Super friendly waitresses (Ayesha served us and was brilliant!) Sharing Steak was beautifully presented but a bit under seasoned, which was easily remedied with salt and pepper. MIL loved her burger. Sticky toffee apple cake was the winning dessert. Friendly swift attentive service and a vibrant atmosphere. Perfect arrival meal into Edinburgh”

“Really enjoyed my evening here. Starters & mains were excellent. A great relaxing atmosphere with very nice staff. Was great to pop next door to Krafty fine drinks for some beers. The only negative was the desserts which were underwhelming. Overall an excellent wee spot in Kirkcaldy and I highly recommend.”

“Service was amazing. Food excellent and Wine very affordable.The Staff all very attentive will definitely be back.Very happy two Empty Plates.”

“Michael our server was a very nice lad, genuinely happy person with great service. Sometimes at TGIs kindness can seem fake, but his was genuine. We had a great time and the food was great, and super filling. We did wait slightly longer for the first drinks to arrive, but this may have been due to the restaurant having lots of people in, for a lunch time, it isn't usually that busy. The staff coped well though. I'd be happy to come back here again.”

“One of the best meals I had on holiday. I had the sesame chicken and my partner had ribs. Both of us loved it. Also, the mocktails were incredibly tasty.”

“Lovely food. Would completely recommend best takeaway for miles. Find ourselves travelling from winchburgh once a week to get a take away. Hidden gem.”
