What Jim McCabe doesn't like about Café St Honoré:
Lovely setting but hugely disappointing food and very poor value for money. Seems to be living on its reputation from when it was a 'proper ' French restaurant. Three choices (plus a very expensive main special) for each course £15/30 for staters/ mains. Just very ordinary food and certainly not good enough at those prices. View all feedback. What Jennifer M likes about Café St Honoré:
Highly recommend! We used the private room to celebrate a birthday. Booking was easy, even from the States. Some of our party have food allergies, which were taken seriously enough that special menus were printed. Importantly, the food was spectacular. The service was the right level of helpful without being intrusive, and friendly even when some of our group wanted to have extended conversations about local politics... View all feedback.

I dined at this restaurant for dinner last Friday based on a recommendation from a colleague, while I was staying in Edinburgh for one night.

We had the at home menu so didn't sit in. It is a lovely very French looking restaurant. The food is excellent too

It's a bit out of the way and sort of just looks like a pub from the outside. But it ended up being a truly memorable lunch. The crispy goats cheese and cranber...
