About Kyloe

Kyloe is a steak house inside the Rutland Hotel on Rutland Street in Edinburgh, built around Scottish beef. Before ordering, servers bring round a meat parade of raw cuts, and diners choose a knife from a selection of blade shapes to go with the meal. Menu cards are bound in cow hide, and the room's booths use cowskin upholstery. Rib eye and rump steak anchor the main list, with beef Wellington a recurring option alongside sides such as blooming onion, chive and garlic mash, and brisket mac and cheese. Reservations are required for a table. The combination of the pre-order cut display and the knife choice gives the meal a more hands-on start than a standard steak house menu, before the order even reaches the kitchen.

Customer Review Summary

Not every plate lands, though: one reviewer's Wagyu arrived undercooked with a large unmelted chunk of fat that made much of it inedible, and another found the rump steak tough, calling it like eating "a flip flop," with a dry mash and oily blooming onion on the side. One diner also reports the beef fries portion served was noticeably smaller than announced. A few call it pricier, though most who mention cost say it was worth it for the quality.

    “It’s been over five years since my last visit to Kyloe, and it remains exceptional. While it’s on the pricier side, the quality of the beef and the execution are outstanding. They truly know how to cook a good steak! The service was also great, complete with a steak presentation, followed by a knife presentation. Everything was delicious, except for the corn brûlée, which wasnt for me. It was sweet and felt more like a strange dessert, however I appreciate the innovation. Overall, a fantastic experience!”

    “The fish scampi were an amazing experience. The best I have ever had. But then the beef fries was announced in a very different size than what came to the table and I was very upsetting to be fooled like this. Nice place. Excellent service.”

    “Delicious food. Well cooked meat and a great experience. The meat parade when you sit down is just fun. Getting to select your knife (go Rambo, not the Frenchie) is a cool, unique touch. Everything we ate was well prepared and tasted incredible. Loved the spinach Yorkie. My co worker and I shared the a 500g steak and it was perfect. Definitely a nice place but not pretentious. John (I think that was his name) our server was a joy. Highly recommend. Would give more stars if I could.”

    “Wow, one of the best Steak Houses i have ever been to and not even nearly the most expensive. I had a rib eye steak with carrots as side dish and a fine whisky sauce. I chose a good bordeaux Red wine from a cool selection of possible origins. The meat was en point and so juicy. Delicious! The carrots where a great choice, too. They still had a little crunch left in them. The cheese plate i had as dessert, was the right choice to end this formidable evening, and the waiter explained the different kinds of cheese he just served me. The service was great. A very nice staff, attentive and very supportive towards their guests and their collegues. They seem to be a very good team. The ambiente is great. There is enough space between the tables to enjoy your meat in private, even if you can see that the guests at the neighboring table are enjoying their meals, too, and are praising it accordingly. The deko is fitting for a steak house, the menu cards are bound in cow hide and you can choose your knife from 5 or 6 different blade shapes.”

    “We had an amazing experience at Kyloe. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. The staff took the time to show us the different cuts of meat and explain everything, which made the experience feel really special. The starters were delicious, and the main course was exceptional. The steak was cooked to perfection and full of flavour. The sides were equally impressive, and the desserts were the perfect finish to the meal. What made the evening even more special was that it was my birthday, and the team surprised me with a lovely birthday treat, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience even more memorable. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had — 100/10. We will definitely be back!”
