Bread Street Kitchen Edinburgh

Decidedly expensive mediocre experience. First of all 750ml bottles of water for 7.50 each! Even for a city that’s steep. We had our glasses filled the minute we sat and every time they were empty they were refilled, with new bottles without asking, for a table of 9 this wracked up nearly £50 in water! I think that’s a nice way of boosting the cost of the table! The table next to ours had water pouring from the ceiling next to lighting, initially they put a single bottle wine cooler out to catch it which just spraying the water everywhere, until some grabbed a larger vessel! And finally the food, being vegetarian we had the chickpea and squash vegetable curry, which was bland and flavourless, I had a side salad with no dressing?!? The plate the bowls were on was pub grubby with that residue you get from a dishwasher that needs a clean! I also had the honeybee mocktail, which was watery and uninspiring. Sorry Ramsay but for all your perfectionism, shouting and carrying on, it’s good to know your chain is no better, and actually a little worse, than all the rest… felt ripped off!

Finally got to try Ramsay’s famous beef wellies and they surely lived up to the hype. I thoroughly enjoyed the mashed potatoes, it’s the best I’ve had. Good wine selection too. My husband and I had a lovely time.

My wife and I were there on Sunday, after having received a voucher for Christmas. All the staff that we met were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were big. It was the first time that we have been but certainly won't be the last, would definitely recommend going.
