Quick Verdict
Yes. Reviewers who've eaten at Michelin-starred restaurants say the food stands up. The cocktails are solid, the staff (Dave, Boris, Paris get named individually) know what they're doing, and it doesn't rest on its floral décor.
You want cocktails that taste like someone cared about them, small plates worth eating (not just Instagram props), and a room that feels alive without being loud.
About Copper Blossom
Copper Blossom is a basement cocktail bar and restaurant on George Street in Edinburgh's New Town that's built itself a solid reputation for both drinks and food. The space is Instagram-ready—floral fabrics, wicker furniture, extensive foliage—but it's not all aesthetics. Reviewers consistently praise the cocktails (the Margarita Mile gets specific mention), the creative menu, and the service. The baked camembert with honey and figs appears in multiple reviews as a standout small plate. Sunday roast beef with beef dripping gravy gets its own cult following. It's priced accordingly (€€€), accepts reservations, and gets busy enough that booking is recommended. The atmosphere works for everything from solo dining to group celebrations—one reviewer brought 20 people for a 40th birthday and the kitchen handled dietary requirements (dairy-free, gluten-free) without fuss. Dog-friendly too.
What Stands Out
Cocktails that justify the price
Multiple reviewers praise 'stunning cocktails' and 'amazing' drinks. The Margarita Mile is called out specifically. One reviewer notes the bar staff are 'very knowledgeable.'
Food that outperforms expectations
A reviewer who'd eaten at Michelin-starred restaurants says 'the flavour here stood up to anywhere we have eaten.' Baked camembert with honey and figs gets individual praise. Sunday roast beef is described as 'absolutely hands down the best roast we have had for a VERY long time.'
Service that remembers you're human
Staff are named individually in reviews (Dave, Boris, Paris, Paul, Josh, Lachlan). A 40-person group notes staff were 'very accommodating' with dietary requirements and 'constantly kept the drinks flowing nicely and not too forcely.' Birthday guests get special attention.
