Hawksmoor Edinburgh
From £29 for dry-aged rump; £33 sirloin
Indicative price at the time of review.
Hawksmoor ranks second as the beef specialist's choice: this is the Edinburgh branch of the UK-wide steakhouse group, and its Sunday roast is built around dry-aged rump (from £29) or sirloin (£33), served with beef-dripping roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, roasted carrots, greens, roasted garlic and bone marrow and onion gravy, per the venue's published menu. A Winslade Wellington covers vegetarians at £28, and larger groups can order sharing 'Sunday Feasting' cuts. Its St Andrew Square location makes it the most convenient premium option, moments from Waverley. The trade-off against The Scran & Scallie is value and vibe: it is noticeably pricier and reads as a polished restaurant rather than a neighbourhood pub, and roast service is guaranteed only until 4pm.
