Description

The restaurant offers a range of cocktails and drinks that are good value for money, alongside fast and tasty flatbreads as starters. The main attraction, sirloin steaks, unfortunately, did not meet expectations as they were not good cuts of meat and very fatty. The staff apologized but did not rectify the issue. Despite this, the lunch menu for $12.95 offers delicious options such as coriander chicken coxinha and rump steak. A family dining on Father's Day enjoyed the fantastic Sunday roast and great steaks, despite the slightly expensive wine. The service was fabulous, with a minor incident quickly resolved. Overall, CAU provides a great dining experience, with great food, atmosphere, and top-quality steaks. Many diners highly recommend and plan to return, despite some minor drawbacks.

Best steaks available. Went here for dinner one evening whilst visiting Edinburgh Ordered the usual steak I always order at my local CAU. However it wasn’t as nice Mentioned this to manager and she was so nice and thanked me for the feedback Presented me with a voucher for my next visit. Overall great place.

A pleasent surprise we have found on our trip to Edinburgh. Staff is very friendly and the place is modern and cozy. The meat was cooked exactly as we have ordered and was very tasty. The sweet potato chips is a must try. Would highly recommend it.

Good steak. Sent potato chips were very nice, as we're the prawn starter. Restaurant was empty and just a bit cool at pm on a Saturday which seemed odd. It did get busier. Worth a visit.

The steaks are delicious and the staff is friendly and attentive. They have a great selection of red wines. Our kids enjoyed the children's menu. The prices are reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Cau, a fantastic restaurant located in the heart of Edinburgh. After having trouble finding a quiet breakfast spot due to fully booked reservations, we were lucky enough to stumble upon Cau. The interior and exterior of the restaurant were charming, and we were pleased with the reasonable prices on the menu. I ordered the ultimate steak sandwich, and it exceeded all of my expectations. The steak was cooked perfectly and incredibly tender, and the sweet potato fries were equally delicious. The service was also excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. I would definitely give Cau a perfect 10/10 rating and would not hesitate to visit again in the future.
