L'escargot Bleu - Edinburgh, City of

L'scargot bleu. the idea behind this restaurant is a great combination of French culinary skills with local Scottish products. because both are excellent, the combination is a winner. there are several menu options: during lunch you can choose from the table where a selection of things change daily. there is also a pre-dinner menu, which is also selected by the board and finally a "à la carte menu from 19 30 o'clock that offers a larger selection. the choice of wine is limited, but was carefully chosen. this said the house wines are more than acceptable and available by the glass or by the carafe. the true secret of this restaurant is its unpredictable style. it looks like your typical French bistro...read more

I absolutely love this restaurant on Broughton St. The service is fantastic, most of the staff are French or speak French! It gives that feel of being in France! This is my third time here we normally go lunch with my good friend Benjamin. They do a plat de jour for £12.90 2 course which amazing for the food served! I would highly recommend the restaurant, lovely food and great service. A little step into France without leaving Edinburgh! Magnifique :

I have been coming to this restaurant for a while now and never disappoints. The service is top-notch, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the food is delicious. The set menu is a great deal and definitely worth trying, just like the chicken dishes!
