A good deep dive into the local cuisine with cullen skink and haggis: Restaurant Whiski Rooms (26. April 2024)
If you want to go for a truly local experience, then the Whiski Rooms is definitely a good choice. I decided to go for two really local dishes, so I picked the “Cullen Skink (Scottish fish chowder, sourdough bread)” (GBP 9.00), which is a thick chowder, which I absolutely enjoyed. Not something for people, which enjoy mainly super light flavours, but if you enjoy a bit of an intense flavour, the cullen skink is definitely a good choice.
Then, of course, I had to finally try haggis! The “Haggis (bashed neeps, mashed potato, crispy leeks, whisky sauce)” (GBP 18.00) is something of quite a peculiar taste, but I must admit that was actually quite delicious. Sure, relatively intense in flavour, but absolutely great. Definitely something I can imagine enjoying on a regular basis.
The place is quite traditional when it comes to interior design – definitely a place, which has been around for a bit. The staff is friendly and swift, so, all in all, the Whiski Rooms is a place, which is good to try the local cuisine.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
