Top Best French Restaurants in Fala

"This latest venture from Martin Wishart moves away from haute cuisine to a more casual brasserie-style offering without ever forsaking quality. Steaks and seafood are specialities while set menus include lunch, tasting and kids’ options."

"The four bedrooms above this Michelin-starred restaurant are no afterthought; there is a confident hand at work in rooms that are as striking as the food, displaying a sometimes surprising but always sensual contemporary/Baroque style and unexpectedly leafy views. A low-key location for a high-octane operation. Chef Paul Kitching is a maverick; think silky pink trout served with artichokes, pasta, almonds, chickpeas, kidney beans, oriental mushrooms, warm coleslaw and feta cheese."

"Paul Kitching’s 21212 opened in May 2009 and was awarded a Michelin star in 2010. Located in a Georgian townhouse, lunch time is the best to visit as a two-course weekday lunch starts at just £20 per person – and the menu changes every week. If you fancy staying, they also have four luxury bedrooms to rest your head in."

"Copper pans, posters of Edith Piaf: there’s no mistaking you’re eating in a French restaurant here, even if you didn’t know that it was owned by proud Frenchman Fred Berkmiller. Expect Gallic classics washed down with French wines."

"As with its sister restaurant, L’Escargot Blanc, this cute little bistro is as Gallic as garlic but makes fine use of quality Scottish produce – the French-speaking staff will lead you knowledgeably through a..."

"A wee neighborhood bistro located on Albert Place, at the top of Edinburgh’s Leith Walk, The Little Chartroom is run by husband-and-wife team Shaun McCarron and Roberta Hall-McCarron (formerly the head chef at Castle Terrace). Small and welcoming, with navy fabrics and handsome art, the restaurant has been garnering rave reviews and buzz since it opened n 2018. The food, French-British cuisine, is highly seasonal."

"What: Looking for a Sunday breakfast to end your weekend on a high note?. Head to this charming bistro, where you’ll find a short but considered breakfast menu. Try The Little Chartroom’s beef bavette crumpets which arrive topped with caramelised onions and poached egg, or go for the smoked fish and mussel kedgeree."

One of Edinburgh’s prettiest dining rooms, the Pompadour is decked out in the softest sugar-almond shades of blues and greys, with hand-painted birds and flowers adorning the walls.

The Pompadour by Galvin is a Michelin star restaurant that won’t disappoint; it’s got an absolutely gorgeous interior, offers amazing castle views and is equipped with a drool-worthy menu.

"Last but certainly not least we have Artisan Gelato Edinburgh in the Old Town, with their authentic Italian-looking store that is the perfect backdrop for a shot of your Instagrammable ice cream. Their hand crafted ice cream is to die for and some of their most popular flavours include pistachio bronte Sicily, chocolate orange and cheescake...we will take ten scoops please. One reviewer said it is the "best gelato outside of Italy" and, like their neighbours Over Langshaw Farm, they offer vegan, gluten free and dairy free options."

"There are three different private dining rooms at Otro, which can be hired separately or together to create plenty of space for family and friends. The team here have event managers too, which means there’s a handily helpful process in place already to see you through your planning. Dishes on the set menus can be tailored to your preference and/ or budget but as an idea of style dishes that are menu mainstays are chicken liver parfait with chutney and toasted sourdough, and roasted sea bass with chickpea and chorizo stew and salsa verde."
