Brasserie PrinceA
1 Princes St., Edinburgh, EH2 2EQ, United Kingdom
· Restaurant, Bar, French restaurant
· Edinburgh
A polished, hotel-based French brasserie with excellent service, handsome rooms, and a strong cocktail/bar program, but the experience is priced at special-occasion levels and can feel inconsistent for drink-only or casual visits.
Why this grade
Brasserie Prince delivers exceptional food quality anchored by strong French classics, steaks, and seafood, paired with notably attentive and knowledgeable service that consistently earns praise. Its prime Princes Street location and polished hotel setting enhance the experience, though value polarizes diners and keeps it just short of the very top tier.
One caveat: A number of diners felt the bill was high even by central-Edinburgh standards, especially once service charges and extras appeared.
