The Café Royal is possibly one of the most ornate and beautiful bars in Edinburgh, particularly inside. It’s frequented by the office crowd, who you can see any weekday lunchtime or on Friday night after 5pm (when the bar gets very busy and there is standing room only). While this is a fantastic bar architecturally and in terms of atmosphere, the drink unfortunately is average, the bar offering a limited selection of beers. Service and food can also be hit or miss. You are often kept waiting at the bar when ordering, and on one occasion, when ordering food with my Dad, he received his food 20 minutes before I was brought mine, despite us having ordered at the same time. His food was dry and overcooked while mine was fresh. The last time I visited the Café Royal though service was very good with waiting staff even coming by tables and asking if you wanted more to drink.
