Cozi Bar and Grill
44 St. Stephen St, EH3 5AL, Edinburgh
from andy (100%) on November 18th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Totally agree with craig777's review, but am willing to give it an extra half star.
We went here for lunch today (a Sunday) and both had their Sunday roast for a very reasonable £6.50. The stuff were very friendly, the roast was excellent (especially considering the price) with great homemade Yorkshires and it was served up quickly.
We sat at a comfy leather sofa by the fire. It's a living flame gas fire, not a proper fire like I'd like to see in a bar called "Cozi", but it's certainly better than nothing. I guess ridiculous health and safety laws mean it's near impossible to have proper fires in bars these days. Oh well.
We also thought that the whole place could have been a bit warmer in general. The main door to the bar seemed to be letting in a bit of a draft and they could have ramped up the gas fire a bit to increase the coziness of the place. But overall, we were very impressed and may well be back for weekend lunches - better food, value and service than you'll find on George Street, we thought.

Cameo Bar
23 Commercial Street, EH6 6JA, Edinburgh
from Teddy (26%) on November 15th, 2007 (1 year ago)
This place is such great value for money. I went in for an early tea on Sunday with some friends and the food was tops and reasonably priced. The staff can sometimes be hit and miss with their enthusiasm, but there is one Aussie bloke who is always on form. For informal eating with a price to match I say try this one!

Le Mouton Noir
3 Viewforth, EH10 4JD, Edinburgh
from jwjlewis (76%) on November 8th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Bruntsfield has been lacking a really good restaurant and this brand new place certainly fits the bill. I went there last night and had their specials; Cauliflower and stilton soup followed by Bavette de beouf. It certainly did not disappoint. The soup was lovely, thick and creamy and the beef came in a red wine sauce with shallots and mashed potato.
The service was very discreet, just what you want in a sophisticated restaurant. You may be wondering what I mean by discreet; I mean friendly, but not overbearing. So why didn't I just say that? I don't know, I just didn't.
Anyway, this is a lovely little restaurant and I would recommend it to Bruntsfield locals as well as folk from across the city. It would be a great first date venue, or any date come to think of it.

Bar Diesel
19 Shore Place, EH6 6SW, Edinburgh
from andy (100%) on November 8th, 2007 (1 year ago)
We decided to check out this new bar for an impromptu meal out last night. I knew that the Smoke Stack used to occupy this building and for some reason had assumed it was going to be a small, cosy establishment. It is, in fact, pretty big and was quiet when we were there, being a Wednesday night.
The bar is split in two sections. The front is more of a bar with the back more of a formal dining area. This seperation will clearly be good when they are busy, but on quieter nights I think they might be best to use only the front section (which also has plenty tables suitable for dining) to improve the atmosphere.
One good side to the bar being quiet when we were there meant that we got excellent service from a very friendly barman/waiter.
The food was good. I had mussels to start while my girlfriend had vegetarian haggis crepe, or something. The mussels were excellent - big, well cooked and in a nice rich creamy sauce. It was a huge serving - I had assumed that because they were only £3.95 there wouldn't be many - how wrong I was! For an extra pound they would have been served with chips which would have made an ideal excellent value meal in itself. The vege haggis was also good. It had almonds on it which gave it a satisfying crunch and texture that is often lacking in vege food.
For mains I had a buffalo burger and she had venison. We thoroughly enjoyed both. Buffalo meat features a couple of times on the menu and is clearly their gimmick. It certainly was tasty, but no nicer than a decent beef burger in my opinion and a bit more expensive.
I failed to finish my main as a result of my huge portion of mussels to start. A shame. When I go back (which I probably will), I'll make sure to either skip the starter or share the mussels with somebody.
Our meal came in at about £50 for 2 courses and 3 (alcoholic) drinks each. Seems fair for the quality of food and service that we received.
Highly recommended.

Muang Thai
97 Hanover Street, EH2 1DJ, Edinburgh
from kurlybap (19%) on November 8th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Fantastic food that is really authentic and well presented.
It's a really popular spot - especially on a weekend - and can be really busy so best to book for a weekend or you may struggle for a table if it's a large party.
Food is always first class - really tasty and often very spicey - regardless of how busy the restaurant gets,but the service can slip a little when the numbers creep up.
The standard of the fare will make it worth the trip though.

What more can I say except for ditto to Naomi's review?
I've been to eat here numerous times over the last 11 years, and never had a bad experience.
Great looking building inside and out. Great suroundings.

Breakfasts are a great hangover cure on a weekend.
