Doric Tavern, 15-16 Market Street, EH1 1DE, Edinburgh

We went to the Doric Tavern on Saturday night with Edinburgh Dine Around offer at £15 per person for a 2 course meal. That was a well disappointing experience.

First of all when we arrived the waitress, who never smiled were not welcoming at all at arrival and lost our booking. Luckily enough a table for 2 was available.

Then when the starter arrives, no bread is served with the salad although there is a bread plate for each of us and I have to ask twice to get the bread served.

Started Pan fried chicken liver and bacon salad was really good. But the main, Plaice on salad with capers and dressing was really dull and the capers were missing.

We ordered a pudding and a coffee but coffee took longer because there was no more coffee. Fair enough.

AND FINALLY, THIS IS LAST TOUCH: they charged us £1 for a jug of tap water and £2 for the 4 small slices of bread!

I honestly think that any restaurant that charges you for bread and tap water should be boycotted.

This was scandalous.
