Among the dishes on offer are smoked mackerel with ajo blanco, lovage, and maple verjus, Baron Bigod with malt loaf, truffle honey, and walnut, and choux with mascarpone, lemon curd, and white chocolate. The restaurant also serves up a £38 set lunch menu.
Time Out wrote: "The vibe is spot on: all industrial Scandi-esque neutrals with lots of light and a healthy hum of chatter and clatter. The food is done to a mouth-wateringly high standard with a pretty reasonable price tag for what you’re getting (£65 per person for a set menu with £45 for paired wines). This is playful, modern cooking, executed with a natural flair."
Following behind on Time Out's list of the best restaurants in Edinburgh is Heron, situated on Henderson Street in Leith. The publication praised the eatery's "buzzy" atmosphere and "soothing views" out across the Water of Leith.
