Delicious food in a friendly setting with a very well priced lunch menu. Recommend the refreshing Porto Tonico to drink. Good wine options. Mackerel fish cakes were very tasty. Really liked the curried garnish with the haggis bonbons. The trout on a bed of crab pasta was a highlight. The confit duck was rich and satisfying. Keen to visit again and try more of the menu items. Need to save room for dessert next time.

At the time of writing this review, I'm still in the restaurant, it's because I want to express my feedback while it was fresh. I called to book a table just 10 minutes ahead and we very quickly got a table reserved. On arrival, we were greeted by a lovely lady who took us to our table and she was looking after us throughout the stay. We were quickly offered and served the wine and the food order was taken also very fast. Rioja wine they serve is to die for, so good! Our meals came in really fast intervals, they looked tasty and tasted even better than they looked. Simply delicious! The price is probably the lowest I could see in centrally located in Edinburgh. Only £16 for 2 courses and £19 for 3 courses lunch. So so affordable! We were in Blonde restaurant a few times before and each time they do deliver. Highly recommended!

Absolutely great food at a really good price. We tried several main dishes here and all were fantastic. Delicate sea bass fillet, tender chicken breast enriched by pomegranate seeds, tasty sauce with lamb meat balls, and they together made the popular duck confit relatively less impressive. Quality starters as well, we particularly love the seafood chowder. And the desserts were mind-blowing, probably among the best we have ever had. The chocolate cake was exceptionally delicious, don’t miss it.

Had the pleasure of having a Christmas lunch here and there was nothing that disappointed. The menu offered 6 starters, 6 mains and 6 dessert choices. All the different courses we tried were beyond good. Service was spot on, attentive but not intrusive. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and aesthetically pleasing. Amazing value for money. It was noted that many of the diners there that day were repeat customers and that says a lot.

What can I say, I went there today with zero expectations for our office Christmas lunch, and I was left feeling quite satisfied! You wouldn’t expect such portions and quality for those prices, and the flavour …

Had tried once and decided to take my parents who come and visit Edinburgh to try again. Very cozy and delicious food. Pretty Scottish. Good service as well. Offer free freshly baked bread.

My first meal at Blonde. The food was delicious, I chose the fishcake starter and creamy mushroom chicken linguine main. Waiting staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. Will definitely visit again.
