About us

Nicely re-done from the old Foresters! Clio and the rest of the staff are great. Food (I haven't had any yet) looked appealing - especially the fish.

Look in Flickr and/or Facebook if you 'search' my name.

Hadn’t been here in a few years. Tables in restaurant are well spaced out, apart from small table at entry doors they are all well positioned. I ordered black pudding / burger with chips. Waitress was very good and happy to alter order a bit as i didn’t want skinny fries. Food arrived promptly and was a good portion size. Burgers, black pudding and chips were all great. The burger bun tasted stale, was very hard. Shame as everything else was good. Would happily return as think the bun issue would be a one off.

We took a walk from the city centre By the time we reached Portobello we were ready for something to eat and drink. This very unassuming place was awesome We were shown to our table by a very pleasant young lady as it was fairly busy. Good choice of food and drink. Nice cold lager and my partner opted for a white wine. There was something for everyone on the menu My partner opted for a burger which was massive and very tasty. I can't go to the seaside without having fish and chips this didn't disappoint Fresh fish with delicious crunchy batter and freshly made chips. This was an unexpected surprise Food Service Atmosphere We shall return the next time we're in the area.

We visited the Foresters Guild after walking past many times. We certainly regret not visiting earlier. The restaurant is really nice. The booking online is generally easy although it would be helpful to see a map of the restaurant when booking, as the bar area is actually bigger than the restaurant area, however, food is served in both sections. Our first visit to the Foresters Guild was for dinner. We had the pan seared scallops as a starter (to share), and the Spanish Chicken burger and Foresters Beef burger as the main. The food arrived quite quickly. The starter was incredible with the black pudding being really juicy. Whilst the chicken burger was the best chicken burger we’ve encountered yet, the beef burger was overwhelmed by a rather big and dry brioche bun. On a later return visit the brioche bun was much fluffier and suited the burger better. Overall, a smaller brioche, or an alternative bun such as ciabatta or pretzel might be a better fit. The real highlight however were the Foresters Fries. We opted for the Truffle & Parmesan fries and the Haggis & Peppercorn fries. The Haggis fries were a bit messy to eat, as you can imagine, but really flavourful. The Truffle fries are good when craving something lighter and simply heavenly. We would definitely recommend trying either of these and will come back for these fries alone. We returned for breakfast and chose the full breakfast with the option for extra pieces. The sausages and bacon were outstanding. Some of the best bacon we’ve had, and we’ve had a lot of bacon in the past. The black pudding was also very good. The Haggis on this occasion was rather dry and certainly would not have made Robert Burns’ “Ode to the Haggis” proud. But overall it was very filling, worth the price and we will definitely come back to indulge. The restaurant is clean and the servers are nice, although nobody stood out in particular and all interactions were kept very short. The menu also allows plenty of options for vegan and gluten free requirements, without limiting options for people without dietary requirements. One of our celiac friends thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant as well. Overall we were very happy with our visits and will certainly return in the future.
