The Dirty Martini - Edinburgh, City of

We stopped at Lemonde for breakfast on boxing day 2018. We were the only people when we arrived so had the whole place to ourselves. Breakfast should have been simple..right! however, french toast when they arrived were cold, baked eggs in avocado were baked to death and hard, Americano coffee was weak. However, toast with butter was just fine. Staff were happy to take back the stuff but we had to get our long journey started so walked out without eating but still had to pay for some of the things. This place used to be reasonable a few years ago.

George Street is more attractive than ever with all the Christmas decorations and being in such close proximity to the excellent Dome venue means Le Monde really has to make itself appealing. We were not staying in the hotel, just popped in for food and drinks. Well, it’s OK, that’s all I can say. Decor is nice but not great, drinks are on the expensive side and not presented in anything more than an average manner.Our bar food was overpriced and not particularly nice, pretty poor actually.

Generally nothing special. Very limited evening menu. I had classic burger which was good but not that much better than you would get from McDonald’s. staff fairly attentive. Would use again as last resort.

Whilst I appreciate the prime location, this place is over priced. The music is bland and too loud, lounge seats might as well be floor cushions they are so low, and it's all a little soulless. It's also surprising they can barely pour a Guinness given they only have three taps to master.

Went here with 4 friends for our festive meal. It was £35pp and all food was ordered in advance. The service was awful, took ages for our drinks to arrive and 45 mins for pre ordered food to come. All our starters were really good but the main Christmas dish,the turkey, was just horrendous. It barely resembled turkey was more a round blob covered in bacon and packed full of salty fatty stuffing. There was an absolutely tiny piece of turkey surrounding it that was mostly skin or processed meat. All 3 of us that ordered it left it on the plate dissected to bits and only ate the very small amount of veg that came with it. We complained to the staff who couldn’t have cared less and they didn’t apologise or anything. Definitely will not be eating here again. Was very disappointed. If it hadn’t been pre-paid I would have been refusing to pay for a main course.
