Bread Street Brasserie - Penicuik

As a foody and someone who cooks a lot of creative vegetarian and vegan meals, I went to a vegan night at Hilton with curiosity and high expectations. Sadly I was dissapointed: there was no imagination in the meal, it was boring, dry with far too much salt and no other herbs or spices added to the dish. To make vegan food tasty it needs to be vibrant in colour and flavour and you can't achieve it with just 3 ingredients or so. Paying for a meal which doesn't meet your expectations really annoys me as when I go out I want to eat something I would not be able to prepare myself. Not at Hilton. My friend who chose a different dish yo mine was equally disappointed. We won't be back!

Great experience, really good food with great service

The vegan options were great and staff went out of their way to adapt things to dietary requirements without being asked. Food was delicious. The only downside was that we waited half an hour to have our desert menus brought over after asking and it was very quiet so there was no reason I could see for it to take so long. Just a mistake though and I would definitely be back!!

We came down from Aberdeen to attend our friends daughters evening wedding celebration within the Hilton so thought this would be handy for dinner, and easy to pop through to the event. It was dead quiet (never a good sign) but staff were pleasant. Our main course was fine, not amazing but perfectly adequate. Then the waitress came with the sweet menu, left us a few minutes then came back to tell us the only dessert we could have was fruit salad or ice-cream!!!!! Really? No apple pie, sticky toffee pudding etc etc? On a Saturday night? Very disappointing that this wasn't pointed out at the beginning of the meal as the offer was 2 courses for £22. We may have ordered starters instead.... A table of 8 came in as we left so I hope they weren't expecting a slap up a big bowl of pudding!!

Recently visited the restaurant for its Vegan Night as my wife has recently become a Vegan and we liked the look of the menu. All the food we had on the night was really tasty and at only £17.50 each for 3 courses it represented excellent value. The staff serving us were very friendly and attentive which made for a great experience all round. We will definitely be returning at some point in the future.
