Oddly enough I find myself in stunning French restaurants in the UK more often than I’d expect, and this was no exception. Our servers were warm and accommodating (critical given the bone chilling cold that day before dinner) and the food was uniformly excellent. The deconstructed fish soup was a particularly fascinating touch and of course a restaurant with escargot in the name did not disappoint with the titular dish. Duck egg omelette was fascinating and a classic beef bourguignon simply hits the spot on a chilly day. Would 100% recommend to francophiles looking for a proper feed in Edinburgh.

Fabulous dining experience. From the food to the ambience I felt that I was actually in a little bistro in Paris for a few hours. Wonderful, wonderful lunch there. Will be back for dinner for sure. Go try for yourself. You will not be disappointed

We had dinner few days ago and the food were really delicious, service very attentive. Beef Bourguignon best in my life . My partner had lamb casserole and delicious as well . Worth to try tartar which is making on the table with great quality of beef. On of the best meal in Edinburgh.
First visit, not last

This restaurant has an authentic feel; in food, wine, alcohol and staff. This is not our first time, and we ate well on both occasions. The specials are often really good. Good food and wine don't come cheap but the occasional treat is worth while.

We had a great experience. The staff is wonderful.. friendly and helpful with suggestions. Everything was great!... tartar, escargot, Cote de beuf, cod, and the lamb are all recommended! Nemesis and the creme brulee for dessert were great choices for the finish!

We have been twice here, once for lunch and the other time for dinner, and the food has been incredible on both visits. The portion sizes are very generous and the constantly alternating dishes are delicious.
The staff also make the experience extra memorable and are happy to accommodate for special occasions.

Amazing experience.
I recently had the best meal I've had for a long time, at L'Escargot Bleu. The place captures true French charm along with warm Edinburgh hospitality. The food was absolutely fantastic & the service was first class. Fred & Betty have created something magical here, fine dining with a warm welcome. Do start with a visit to the wine bar downstairs, run by their charming daughter.
My only regret....that I don't live in Edinburgh so I could be a regular here.
If you're looking for the best restaurant in Edinburgh - it's here.
