Mauretania - East Lothian

Was in here a few months back. We were seated in the dreary back room not the best place. The food was ok, I had nachos and then a burger. The staff were friendly, extremely busy and at times got mixed up with tables...etc.

Booked a table outside at the Royal Mackintosh on Saturday.. What a fabulous place to go for a few drinks.. Excellent service from very approachable, efficient, friendly staff. I wasn’t sure how to use the App but the staff were very helpful and kept me...on the right track.. My friends and I tried the Gin Surprise Cocktail Pitcher which was fantastic. Everything very clean, hygienic and well sign posted re restrictions which was very re assuring as it was our first time out since lockdown.

I have visited the Royal Mackintosh so many times and it is always my go to place for food, cocktails or both! The staff are friendly and nothing is too much bother, the service always quick and the food is fantastic. Never had a bad...meal there. Not to mention their cocktails, they are amazing! The staff also create new cocktails and are always creating new ones to try. Always a service from Hannah and the team.

We're on holiday in Dunbar this week and have had two meals at the Royal Mackintosh: a three-course from the menu and the Thursday night steak deal. We've found the food delicious and beautifully presented and have been pleased that there has been a gluten-free...pudding option for my husband. It's also great to enjoy food that has come from local suppliers. The staff are pleasant and friendly, and the dining room is quiet. Basically, the restaurant has ticked all our boxes, and we'll certainly return if we visit Dunbar again.

Recently visited the Royal Macintosh while holidaying in Dunbar, would have liked the Steak night on Thursday but fully booked so Friday it was. The hotel is quite dated (as most hotels are) and the gents toilets need some attention but that apart clean with...sanitisers available if required. Warm welcome and prompt service. The wine we chose was not available and replaced with a bottle not even on the menu, which was both clever and enjoyable. Pleasant atmosphere, staff were polite and the food was good. Very pleasant evening and good value for money we would definitely return and recommend
