We had a great experience. The staff is wonderful.. friendly and helpful with suggestions. Everything was great!... tartar, escargot, Cote de beuf, cod, and the lamb are all recommended! Nemesis and the creme brulee for dessert were great choices for the finish!

We have been twice here, once for lunch and the other time for dinner, and the food has been incredible on both visits. The portion sizes are very generous and the constantly alternating dishes are delicious. The staff also make the experience extra memorable and are happy to accommodate for special occasions.

One of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh recently opened a wine bar in the basement. It serves up an excellent range of organic and biodynamic wines in a warm setting. The sharing platter served cheeses in excellent condition with good quality salamis and meats. Staff were very well trained and added to the overall experience

Service was attentive. I love the causal French decor that we can feel relax in it. Food and wine were both fantastic. Just wish I have longer time in the booking to enjoy the meal. Will be back again soon 👍🏻

The place is perfect for a date night. It’s on the small side but it’s cosy, beautiful decor and has a lovely ambience. All food and drinks served were delicious. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Nice selection of food and drinks.

Overall a good dining experience. They served both classic French dishes and some special items with thoughtful mix of ingredients - like the main I had which is a goose one. Very friendly service, a cozy environment with great wine, and we loved the rich and creamy creme brulee, which were burnt in place. Though there is still room for improvement. We had steamed mussels and steak tartare as starters. The creamy sauce accompanying the mussels tasted great, and the mussels were in good texture, but the sauce was a bit too strong which overshadowed the flavour of mussels. Same happened in the tartare, the seasoning itself was nice, just a bit too much that the meaty flavour was diminished. Anyway I would visit again and try their other dishes.

L’ escargot Bleu is an amazingly authentic experience, with a dedicated and friendly staff. Everything here was spectacular, and their menu is well curated to provide a dish for everyone to like. Standout dishes for me were the Crème Brûlé and the L’escargot.

Amazing experience. I recently had the best meal I've had for a long time, at L'Escargot Bleu. The place captures true French charm along with warm Edinburgh hospitality. The food was absolutely fantastic & the service was first class. Fred & Betty have created something magical here, fine dining with a warm welcome. Do start with a visit to the wine bar downstairs, run by their charming daughter. My only regret....that I don't live in Edinburgh so I could be a regular here. If you're looking for the best restaurant in Edinburgh - it's here.

Quaint cozy French bistro in NewTown area of Edinburgh. Brilliant French take using the fresh Scottish produce from the area. The bistro is well managed by French couple with the husband as chef and wife running the front. I have never seen such a “chill” and relaxed kitchen brigade of 2. The menu is the obligatory blackboard which is brought to the table and propped up in the chair. The special of the day is announced by the wait staff. Everything sounds delicious. I was told that this is the place with the best steak tartare which is prepared at your table. I was not disappointed! The escargot was also very good. Wine was well matched with the food. The ambience is relaxed and I could have been in France instead of freezing Edinburgh. Totally enjoyed the atmosphere. Enjoyed watching the kitchen brigade work efficiently and producing steaming hot dishes effortlessly. The bistro is closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Open for dinners only the rest of the week. Lunch available only on Friday and Saturday. There’s a cancellation fee as well. Highly recommended for a great French bistro meal in Edinburgh!

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The food and ambiance was great! First time to try snail and the Iles Flottante is a personal fave!

This restaurant has an authentic feel; in food, wine, alcohol and staff. This is not our first time, and we ate well on both occasions. The specials are often really good. Good food and wine don't come cheap but the occasional treat is worth while.

We had dinner few days ago and the food were really delicious, service very attentive. Beef Bourguignon best in my life . My partner had lamb casserole and delicious as well . Worth to try tartar which is making on the table with great quality of beef. On of the best meal in Edinburgh. First visit, not last

Oddly enough I find myself in stunning French restaurants in the UK more often than I’d expect, and this was no exception. Our servers were warm and accommodating (critical given the bone chilling cold that day before dinner) and the food was uniformly excellent. The deconstructed fish soup was a particularly fascinating touch and of course a restaurant with escargot in the name did not disappoint with the titular dish. Duck egg omelette was fascinating and a classic beef bourguignon simply hits the spot on a chilly day. Would 100% recommend to francophiles looking for a proper feed in Edinburgh.

Lovely hearty meal. Some dishes are fancier and more delicate than others. An overall enjoyable experience.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant and wine bar. The staff are all friendly and good fun, the food is consistently excellent and the selection of wine is fantastic. They also have steak tartare that is prepared table-side. There is a nice choice of bar appropriate snacks and I have never had a bad time there. with a nice warm and comfortable atmosphere.

By the far the best restaurant in Edinburgh. Staff were beyond superb; funny, engaging, and kind, they created a really friendly and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy dinner in. The food was some of the best french cuisine I've had, if we had gone hear first we would have come back for the entire stay to try everything on the menu.

Excellent meal - from starters to dessert. Well balanced. Wonderful service. La cuisine française at its best.

What a hidden gem. Just off the main parts of Edinburgh, this French restaurant doesn't disappoint, and well worth the effort to go to. The food was great and the staff, who are actually French, area only to happy to help. When you're in the restaurant, it's hard not to think that you've been transported to Paris for the day. We'll definitely be back. Superb 10/10

best steak tartare ever! every dish was delicious and the staffs gave us really professional recommendations.

One of the best dining experience in the city with easy access location. cosy atmosphere and nice dishes, friendly service to enjoy a lay back lunch or dinner with friends or family.

PHENOMENAL FOOD I came here on a Friday evening with a table booked for two people at 7:30pm. Service was welcoming and they did this cool thing where they brought the menu to us on a blackboard. It's written on a black board because it changes daily. Server came round to explain the specials and then take our order. I started off with the crab soup. I've never had it before but it was lovely. It had a nice sweet oceanic flavour throughout. I have to say that it had more of a brothy texture than a soupy one. One of the best things about the soup was the side of rouille! Amazing deep and strong flavours from the garlic. Then I got the Braised Beef Cheeks which were fantastic. Extremely juicy and so tender that they were practically falling apart. The sauce had a lovely sweetness to it and it was so good that after the meal I scooped up the rest with some of the bread provided. I also loved having the shallots as they had soaked up all of the rich flavours from the sauce. I can't wait to come back here to see more dishes and try new things.

I hadn't visited L'Escargot Bleu for years. It was a big favourite of ours. Delighted to find it as fabulous as ever! I had steak tatare to start which was perfect and tailored to each person. Mains and pud were heaven. There's only an action shot of desert because it was gone so quickly! Staff were lovely!
