This was by far the absolute best meal I had all week while I was on vacation in Edinburgh. The staff were so friendly and they made fantastic suggestions. I almost went back the next day. I recommend the mushrooms, the meatballs, and the beef cheek. .are sure to leave room for the churros for desert.

EASILY the best thing we had to eat in Edinburgh, and I would put this chef against great meals I've had in Italy and Australia. The food was outstanding. So flavorful. The tourist stops are so "vanilla and boring and bland." This food was outstanding! The mushrooms... AMAZING! Bread with paprika butter... GREAT! Be sure to dip the bread in the mushroom saute. Freya and Natasha are amazing! If you don't know what to order, they will help you pick something you will love! It is a little away from the touristy spots, but take the trip!

Went here yesterday for the first time and we will be back. Slightly off the beaten track, but well worth the effort to find it. House red was good. We had jamon starter, then 6 dishes. Calamari, patatas bravas, black pudding /goats cheese, octopus, garlic mushrooms and chorizo. Flavours were all really good. Probably the best calamari I have ever had.
