Le Petit Beefbar Edinburgh

★★★★★

“The restaurant itself is very nicely done - I was staying at the hotel but had already wanted to come to try the steaks prior to booking my hotel anyways. The service is very friendly and attentive, they know what they’re doing! The cocktail list was absolutely fantastic. I have been to MANY cocktail bars haha, but their menu with visually beautiful cocktails all laid out made me want to try one of each! Very creative and wished more establishments did that. The steak sando was very good, the presentation is quite unique and appreciated. The rocket corn was very very good as well. Super crispy and a good mix of sweet and salty. The steak was also fabulous - I was given the wrong sauce with my steak, but as soon as I told the waitress she corrected this. My only suggestion for my meal, would be to ensure either to have the server comeback around and put out the candle underneath the steak platter after a few minutes or reminding the diner to do so themselves. Because as I was enjoying my steak, thinking it was just keeping warm above the candle - it was actually cooking my steak more and it become well done from medium rare just in 10-15 mins for me to get to the other end of the steak. The rest was a bit chewy so I left it. Overall, I would come back again as the service and food overall was delicious.”

“My first time at Beef Bar in Edinburgh. The rib eye was one of the best steaks I’ve had in Edinburgh. The scallops were excellent. We tried a couple of the salads which were also excellent. The glazed carrots were exceptional and the broccoli was well cooked and seasoned also. The service was good overall but thought it was unusual that a steakhouse serves their red wines at room temperature instead of cellar temperature and the server acted like it must be an American thing for me to want to chill my red wine to cellar temperature instead of drinking at room temperature. Also had a hard time getting the attention of the server to fill our wine glasses as the wine bottle was in a chiller several feet from the table as I asked them to chill the wine so that it was closer to cellar temperature.”

“They said it’s the best meat restaurant in Edinburgh, so I trusted the reviews and I have to say I had a great great experience! I don’t eat much meat but I had to try something in Scotland. Ribeye was great, medium-rare for me was excellent. Definitely one of the best meat I ever had! My girlfriend is vegetarian and she said the cauliflower steak was good, maybe the portion was too much for her. Makes sense since it’s a sharing experience. It’s great to have a veg option in a meat’s restaurant menu. However, what about introducing a non-meat burger? Besides that, she enjoyed more the crunchy salad among the starters. I think you can’t go wrong with any of the starters. And don’t skip the dessert! Last but not least: big thumbs up for the service and for the caring attention to my allergies. Shout out to the bartender too, he was too kind to carefully explain me the ingredients of my cocktail to make sure it would be safe for me.”
