Scottish restaurants that we have visited.

Twenty Princess Street – winter warmers

Caroline von Schmalensee January 26, 2018 February 12, 2018
Hello, handsome! I think I've mentioned my love of lamb before. This lil' leg was treated with utmost respect.

The last time I was at Twenty Princes Street it was with Amy and we did the grill a disservice by not ordering from it. (Oysters! Lobster!) This time, I took Christopher, resident vegetarian, for a pick-me up meal on a chilly Thursday.

Pibroch – unapologetically Scottish fare

Caroline von Schmalensee January 2, 2018 January 2, 2018
Duck with port and cherry sauce and dauphinoise potatoes.

The corner unit at 20 Holyrood Road was in a different guise the last time I was there. Gone is the Scottish barbecue restaurant with its tin trays and home-made sauces. (Best brisket ever!) Now, there’s a friendly, Scottish family restaurant. I visited between Christmas and New Year, only three…

The Tayberry at Kinnettle’s Hotel – luxury close to St Andrew’s old course

Caroline von Schmalensee August 9, 2017 August 9, 2017
Sea bass with crispy langoustine and richly savoury couscous.

We don’t often do travel posts, what with being Edinburgh-focused. Sometimes, though, we get offers that are too good to turn down. Last week I started my holiday by going to St Andrews for a night at Kinnettles Hotel, and having dinner at The Tayberry restaurant. It was a great…

Ishka – a new food & cocktail destination on Morrison Street

Caroline von Schmalensee June 27, 2017 June 27, 2017
Rice and herb stuffed squid with tomato and chorizo and roast garlic mayonnaise.

‘Every time I walk down Morrison Street, it has changed completely’ a friend said the other day. It is a street of rapid change, especially in the middle. When I heard that a cocktail bar and restaurant was opening opposite EICC, I was intrigued. I was pleased to get an…

Reekie’s Smokehouse – fabulous Scottish BBQ

Caroline von Schmalensee May 30, 2017 May 30, 2017
Brisket, chips, pickles and slaw. Entirely delicious and what I hanker for this second.

Summer is here! Clouds of smoke rise off portable grills in the Meadows and much beer and cider is being consumed. It’s a wonderful time of year. In Edinburgh, there are a couple of places where you can enjoy the quintessential summer food – BBQ – at any time of…

La Petite Mort opens a porthole on a new world of cocktails

Caroline von Schmalensee February 28, 2017 April 25, 2017
Yes, we put a light behind it so you can get the full glory of the stained glass effect of the porthole. And, in the shadows, my chin.

You know the feeling? It’s raining, and windy, and your gloves got wet at the bus stop and didn’t dry on the bus. You’re running late, hareing through the city. I had that night last Tuesday. But see, I knew there was a cocktail, lovingly prepared for me (me!), waiting…

The Walnut in Leith – home away from home

Nicki Sturzaker January 6, 2017 January 15, 2017
Hot smoked salmon, beetroot & horseradish

Well, we have all survived the excesses of Christmas and as a family we were certainly no different, however I made sure we had one evening’s escape from the kitchen as a treat and change of scene for everyone. So, where do you go that will please everyone’s palette’s without…

Forage & Chatter treats seasonal ingredients with skill and love

Caroline von Schmalensee December 9, 2016 December 7, 2016
Apple and meadow sweet gratin, yoghurt in an elevated form at Forage & Chatter.

I was a huge fan of Edinburgh Larder Bistro, the last occupant of the down’stairs corner unit at 1 Alva Street. I was therefore very curious indeed when invited to review the new occupant: Forage & Chatter. It’s maybe unfair going to a restaurant when you’re, as it were, thinking…

Wedgwood: delicious textures and flavours

Caroline von Schmalensee November 22, 2016 November 21, 2016
Butternut squash and spinach rotolo. Beautiful!

Wedgwood impressed when we visited three years ago. I was hoping we’d have a similarly good experience this time and – not keeping you on tenter hooks here – we did. The restaurant is on the Royal Mile, next door’s to Cranachan & Crowdie. It’s a cozy, fine dining establishment with…

The Restauration Yard – Woodland adventures mixed with lunch & shopping

Nicki Sturzaker October 21, 2016 April 26, 2017
Venison ragu with parpadelle at Restoration Yard

Trying to keep little ones entertained at the weekend can be a full time job, so I make it my aim to find new places to try and a few weeks ago we hit the jackpot when we visited The Restoration Yard and Fort George adventure playground at Dalkeith Country…
