Quand le service vient sublimer les plats. Merci encore à la personne qui nous a accompagné au cours de ce déjeuner. En plus de la saveur des assiettes et du vin, nous avons été séduit par la présentation et la justesse des plats proposés. Et une jolie vue en prime.

A fabulous tasting menu experience. I can honestly say I've not had a better tasting meal, with a well curated set of courses and beautiful wine pairings. Our 7 year old daughter was made to feel most welcome and whilst there was a kids option which could be made up, we choose steak for her and she loved it. The wine pairings were thoughtful and well calibrated, giving a showcase of some slightly less conventional choices, rather than just rehearsing all the "old standards". Our sommelier and server was highly knowledgeable and very thoughtful. She elevated what was already a very good meal into a very memorable experience. One of the genuine highlights of our holiday. The restaurant room also very tastefully decorated, lovely views over Princes Street and dual aspect offering lovely evening dusky light. Definitely recommended!
