Bijou, 2 Restalrig Road, EH6 8BN, Edinburgh
I went there on Monday for lunch. The place was quite busy. It is really small and it looks like an upgraded sandwich shop. Maybe between a sandwich shop and a bistro.
Anyway service was really bad. To start with the waitress perfectly saw us but took 25 minutes to get served. Fair enough she was on her own and quite busy but if she's really busy before serving anyone else and especially before clearing other table, the least you can do is ask if we would want a drink and/or take orders.
So we were about to leave the place when the other waitress arrived and took our orders immediately. She was nice, friendly and helpful.
We only had 30 minutes left of our lunch break so we ordered Seafood linguine and fish cakes.
The fish cakes were quite nice but arrive only with a few salad leaves. Pretty poor.
The seafood linguine was awful. Far too much cream not much taste. Pasta too cooked and hardly any see food. Only some tiny tasteless prawns and big quarters of hard boiled eggs! Why?
Any way none of us want to go again and we would not recommend.
Bill was about £8 each.
