Rabble is an urban inn, restaurant and bar at 55A Frederick Street in Edinburgh New Town. Ten guest rooms sit alongside a high energy social space, making the venue useful for everything from breakfast and a quick bar meal to dinner and an overnight stay. Rustic details and a central location give it the feel of a city hideout rather than a conventional hotel restaurant.
The kitchen describes its approach as honest food built on simple ingredients and global flavours. Current menus move from bread, olives and sharing bites to starters such as croquetas, chicken wings and Shetland mussels. Main dishes include slow cooked meat, seafood, burgers and vegetable led plates, allowing a table to mix familiar comfort food with more internationally influenced combinations.
Dry aged, grass fed Scottish beef is a particular focus of the grill, with steaks served alongside fries and a choice of sauces. Beer battered Scottish haddock, chargrilled chicken and harissa roasted aubergine widen the selection. Breakfast, brunch, set menus, desserts and a children’s menu give different visits their own pace, while guests with allergies should consult the latest menu and speak with staff.
The bar is central to Rabble rather than an afterthought, offering cocktails, wine and craft beer from lunch into the evening. Weekend brunch and larger group menus create an occasion led side to the venue, while ordinary reservations still suit casual dining. Rabble brings accommodation, spirited drinks and flexible contemporary food together under one roof in the heart of Edinburgh.
