L'Escargot Bleu Restaurant and Wine Bar

We came here for an anniversary meal and it was fabulous, one of the best meals in a long long time. All dishes tasted incredible, the wines were great and the service really helpful with some great recommendations. Worth every pound. Thank you for a special meal, we will definitely be back again.

By far the best meal I’ve had in Edinburgh. I am not a fan of the french cuisine, but this please made me rethink that. The atmosphere is amazing, family owned and operated. It feels good to come From far and have such a nice experience. Great job guys.

I am appreciate that I finally visited here. I saved this place more than year, I think this one is best French restaurant in Edinburgh. First of all, £60pounds for 3 course is reasonable price. We enjoyed all starters, main menus and dessert. Especially I strongly recommend beef tartare for starter. We could pick the level of spicy, it was brilliant. For main course, they have special menu, we picked surf and turf. Lobster was amazing and pork was chewy, they were super delicious. Finally the dessert, we ordered 3 different things, but all great we can’t pick the best. All food menu was amazing.

There’s a real log fire and a ski resort vibe in the basement bar! You can sit outside or share a cellar under the street. A great place all year, but especially during the winter.

Nice cozy authentic french option in Edinburgh. They offer a 3 course a la carte for £60. To start I got the grilled snails in garlic & parsley butter with chorizo and they were excellent. Followed that up with the fillet of plaice (white fish) served with mussels, fresh squid, and saffron. It was very good. For dessert, I went with the duck egg vanilla creme brûlée and it was exceptional as expected. Love this spot.

Great French food, pricy but worth it. This one's been on the wishlist for a while, as it's really popular and we had to book well in advance, but so glad we finally managed to try it out, it was great. We went for the full three course meal, which came to £60 per person, which is fairly expensive, but not too crazy and I'd say the quality lived up to the expectations. I had, fish and crab soup to start, it was rich without being heavy 8/10 lobster (it was on special at no extra cost!) for mains was excellent. I went to town on that bad boy, my mother would not have approved of my table manners but I got every ounce of flavour of that thing, the herbs and vegetables gave it a freshness that balanced the butter, 8/10 for dessert I had the chocolate nemesis which was absolutely phenomenal, light but rich with a depth of flavour you won't get anywhere else, 10/10 Wife had, escargot for starters, classic dish they're famous for, no shells to worry about, and enough butter and garlic to kill a horse, 9/10 slow cooked beef for mains, lovely and tender and rich, very filling 8/10 crème brulée for dessert, despite such a rich main course this didn't feel too heavy, the cream was light and brulée was perfectly crisp, 9/10 As extras we also had, bread and butter, complimentary before our starters, really good tangy sourdough taste, and they gave us extra when we asked for it, 9/10 mixed vegetables, at first I thought they were slightly overcooked, the broccoli being a bit on the soft side, but the rest were fine and the herbs and seasoning on them was very tasty, 8/10 Overall we had a fantastic experience, the wait staff made us feel so welcome, despite being so popular they didn't rush us off our table immediately and we got a good 20-30 minutes extra to finish in a timely manner with a cup of tea.

In the top 5 best meals of my life. Everything was phenomenal. The Pinot noir pairing recommended for the tartare for me was the best food & wine pairing I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, I had to leave sooner than I wanted due to poor planning on my part but they were very accommodating. Je suis désolée pour mom départ rapide! Will certainly be back for a longer sitting next time I’m in Edinburgh. Santé!

L'escargot bleu is always my go to lunch spot. The service is impeccable, the wine exceptional and the cooking just fantastic. The staff are always approachable and professional. It's not cheap, but do you you really do get what you pay for. go go go!
