A close to perfect experience and it doesn’t even hold a Michelin star or the like: Restaurant Fhior (12. October 2024)
When I entered the Fhior, I was not entirely sure what to expect because at first it looked like the place would consist only of three tables and was rather small. Turns out that there is much more space in the back, but if you’re lucky you get to be seated in the front near […]
A 1-Michelin star experience for a very decent price in Leith: Restaurant The Kitchin (12. October 2024)
What you find at The Kitchin is a selection of different food options for lunch, ranging from a fully immersive tasting menu experience, which I decided to skip due to the fact that I already had something nice booked for the evening, to a bit shorter lunch menu. In any case, the lunch started with […]
An absolutely atmospheric location with traditional Scottish dishes: Restaurant The Dome Grill Room (11. October 2024)
The Dome Grill Room is definitely breathtaking in terms of location, respectively, in terms of interior design. The place is literally located in a dome, as the name suggests, so, it has a unique atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive and within no time we had our dishes served. To start we went for […]
A truly incredible experience in the most cosy atmosphere ever: Restaurant The Gardener’s Cottage (11. October 2024)
When I had booked The Gardener’s Cottage, I hadn’t been aware that two days before I’d end up in their other premise, The Lookout by Gardener’s Cottage, so, given the experience there was not entirely mind-blowing, I was wondering what to expect. Turns out, there was absolutely nothing to worry about, since The Gardener’s Cottage […]
A near-perfect evening topped off with spotting the Northern Lights: Restaurant Rhubarb @ Prestonfield House (10. October 2024)
If you have a chance to visit the Prestonfield House and have dinner at the Rhubarb, you should absolutely do that. The place is an old manor, which has been repurposed years ago into a hotel, and it still carries all the tradition with it, and is so much worth visiting. The dinner that evening […]
Good breakfast, but only once the kitchen has fully waken up: Restaurant Sushisamba @ W Edinburgh (10. October 2024)
While I do like the breakfast options they have at the W Edinburgh, I must say, you should not go too early since somehow they need to get the kitchen started. I had to wait a good 20 minutes between placing my order and getting my “Scottish Breakfast (potato scone, link sausage, streaky bacon, tomato, […]
A lovely view, but not entirely persuading dinner menu: Restaurant The Lookout by Gardener’s Cottage (9. October 2024)
I’ve been to the top of Calton Hill in the past and I had even walked by the restaurant, but didn’t have the chance to visit it. In the context of a work event, I ended up here, and I must say, the view is absolutely nice. They offer a standardized “tasting menu” (GBP 65.00) […]
Nice to return for a breakfast session after 7 years: Restaurant Backspielhaus (5. October 2024)
It’s about 7 years ago since I’ve last been to the Backspielhaus, but I have good memories of it, so it was time to give it another shot. I went for the “ham and cheese omelet” (EUR 7.50), which was a good portion and was generally speaking also good in terms of taste. However, it […]
