Malmaison Brasserie — Restaurant in Edinburgh

Malmaison Brasserie sits on High Street in Edinburgh's Old Town. It's open from early morning for business breakfasts and stays busy into evening cocktails. You can find grass-fed prime British steaks here, which are worth the walk if you're after a hearty meal with polished service. Locals grab coffee before work or meet friends for drinks after hours.

The restaurant opened in 2008 as part of a boutique hotel and has since been central to Edinburgh's dining scene. Its interior, designed by Jestico + Whiles Architects, features modern classic decor with dark wood accents and bright lighting. This balance supports its use for early meetings or late-night drinks. The space holds high crowd density during peak times like Sunday lunch, though noise levels stay moderate. With step-free access, accessible toilets, and nearby parking, it's practical for a range of visitors.

You can find Malmaison Brasserie serving meals across the day, perfect for morning coffee or after-work cocktails. It’s popular for big Sunday lunch or creative cocktail masterclasses, both structured events that draw in locals and tourists alike. The standout is grass-fed prime British steak, a consistent choice for refined dining with reliable quality.
