Amazing food! Visited for dinner with my partner - such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The escargots were incredible (definitely order these!) as was the beef bourguignon. The crème brûlée and chocolate nemisis are must-haves for desserts. Staff were lovely and really knew about the menu. Every dish could be made, or was, gluten free. Authentic French bistro experience right in Edinburgh. Highly recommend!
