The Brasserie at Melville Castle

★★★★★

“We had a three course meal here when we stayed in the Castle. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice wine list. There is a limited choice on the menu, but the food was excellent, well presented and very tasty!”

“Went for a large group (11) birthday dinner. Had to preorder from a set menu before, which was fine. Good options including a vegan menu with several tasty options. We were a little late due to a taxi issue and main server seemed annoyed and no cocktails or drinks were offered we went straight to serving. For a place that specializes in weddings service was a constant who ordered this or that. They had our names and preordered options could have done name cards or something to make service more efficient. Food was generally good. Portion sizes were inconsistent between items. I had the cod, it was tiny. Atmosphere was as castleish. Overall probably could have had a better meal at a restaurant in Edinburgh without the expense of the taxis, but the goal was to have a special family celebration in a castle. They did not make us feel special. It was fair. Wouldn’t bother with the drive again.”

“This is the restaurant at Melville Castle Hotel and is set in the downstairs cellar area. It has a nice feel and authentic atmosphere. The menu choice is quite small but with a bit of variety. The food was superb, freshly made with excellent quality ingredients. The staff were very attentive as well, highly recommended.”
