Plumed Horse

Deserves to regain its Michelin star. Great understated service and excellent food on both visits. Hard to fault.

Piatto Verdi
7 Dundee Terrace, EH11 1DL, Edinburgh
from jhousele (15%) on July 7th, 2008 (4 months ago)
Not haute cuisine, but good food. A two course meal for two and wine for under £30! Pasta is particularly good, as are many of the starters.

Aspen Bar and Grill
66-67 South Bridge, EH1 1LS, Edinburgh
from Rebecca Currie (17%) on July 6th, 2008 (4 months ago)
I really like Aspen. The new owners have really turned this place around. The food is of restaurant quality but at decent bar prices. The service is very relaxed and informal. This is good as you often get textbook and scripted service in most bars which I find a bit false and offputting.
The cocktails are great and I love the atmosphere.
An all round decent place to be in Edinburgh.
Go and find out for yourself.

Monteith's
61 High Street, EH1 1SR, Edinburgh
from DrComida (12%) on July 6th, 2008 (4 months ago)
I have eaten at Monteith’s twice now, and on both occasions have been delighted by delicious food and excellent service. Most recently, I visited for a celebratory lunch with two good friends. I booked online through EdinburghMenus.com using toptable – an excellent function that takes the time and hassle out of booking a restaurant. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco to drink at the bar and received complimentary strawberries on ice – a classic example of how this restaurant goes that little bit further to make your experience more pleasurable. The lunchtime menu is unbelievably good value: 2 courses for £8.95 or 3 for £10.95. The Monteith’s Benedict is one of the tastiest dishes I have eaten in a long time. The evening menu is naturally more expensive, but complimentary mise en bouche makes you feel you are getting an even fairer priced meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and plan on returning very soon.

Shamoli
105 High Street, EH1 1SG, Edinburgh
from woozyss (30%) on July 4th, 2008 (5 months ago)
I've been to Shamoli three times in the last two months and will be back again soon. What a grand idea, thai and Indian food within the one restaurant, great for a group who cannot chose which they prefer or to mix your courses.
I went with a group of 5, we shared indian veg pakora and thai spring rolls for starters. Plentiful starters and very tasty. For my main course I had thai chicken with veg, garlic, oyster sauce. Just the right hint of chilli in it and not too oily or salty like Thais I have had before. One pal had thai with chicken and cashew nuts which she loved and the others had a mix of karahi, tikka masala and hot hot curry. All loved their mains.
The staff here are very friendly, but not too in your face. They do not rush you at all, we were there on a Friday night, went in at half seven and left about eleven. Busy place and a great location right on the Royal Mile.
I love Shamoli and will be heading back again soon.

Very friendly and reliable staff.

Food is very good!

Delhi Diner
38 Mayfield Gardens, EH9 2BY, Edinburgh
from Beth (17%) on July 3rd, 2008 (5 months ago)
We went to this restaurant recently when we were in Edinburgh for a vacation. Our B&B recommended it and we tried it and loved it. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious! We went back a couple days later because we liked it so much. If we are ever back in Edinburgh, we will go back here for a meal.

Domenico's
30 Sandport Street, EH6 6EP, Edinburgh
from k1w1b1rd (26%) on July 3rd, 2008 (5 months ago)
This place is a perfect gem tucked down a side street in The Shore. Dinner here a week ago was fantastic. The shared veg/meat/fish antipasto had variety and everything was delicious. A main of fish was superb, although perhaps a little small if you're a large eater. This isn't so much of a problem if you're happy to fill up with bread, as they are accommodating when you ask for extra. With a bit of space for dessert we ordered lime cheesecake and vanilla icecream special with amaretto and espresso to pour over. This was divine. All in all a lovely meal, and very reasonable at £75 for 3 courses and a bottle of wine for 2.
Service was also outstanding from the owner who is attentive but not overbearing.

Chop Chop
248 Morrison St, EH3 8DT, Edinburgh
from DrKolarBear (20%) on July 2nd, 2008 (5 months ago)
The decor resembles the forecourt of a chinese petrol station but the food is more akin to that which the Hashshashin would expect for murdering oriental princes on their way to heaven (im'sh'allah). The dumplings are juicy and squirt lewdly across the chin on entering and the aubergines are so soft as to be almost pornographic. I eat here so often it has become a joke amongst my friends. Hail Roy! He's the boy!

The Dogs
110 Hanover Street, EH2 1DR, Edinburgh
from vegasmonkey (36%) on July 1st, 2008 (5 months ago)
I had the pleasure of dining with the now legendary "andy" at The Dogs (see his review above for menu chat). I have rated this restaurant slightly higher than Andy, mainly for the quality of the eating experience. I found The Dogs to be more than just a no-nonsense fashionable eatery. Our waitress was polite but at the same time relaxed and familiar. The decor is homely, it was more like going around to a friend's for supper than eating out in a restaurant. Perhaps the hype will hurt this place, it would be truly wonderful to have discovered The Dogs hidden away in an unfashionable part of town. As it is, the restaurant has some big recommendations to live up to. I was not disappointed and definitely plan to go back.
