This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Commanding a prime location at the end of Princes Street with great views of Edinburgh Castle, the Rutland Bar is, rather unsurprisingly, a popular spot, particularly with tourists. Quality cocktails, a considered drinks list and lavish, high-spec surroundings (with more than a hint of baroque about them) keep those with disposable income in their pocket and a penchant for glitz coming back too. The bar shares a food menu with Kyloe steak restaurant above, which is a treat for meat-lovers, sporting a range of Aberdeen Angus cuts and all manner of game, poultry and seafood. In the evenings, most people tend to head upstairs to the first floor grill to dine, leaving the bar – which deals mostly in breakfast (complete with Loch Fyne kippers), lunch and light bites – largely occupied by drinkers instead.
- High point: A prime location
- Low point: Main food action is upstairs
