Abstract
33-35 Castle Terrace, EH1 2EL, Edinburgh
from samantha barnes (18%) on January 21st, 2008 (7 months ago)
My husband and I had a fantastic night here, the whole experience was one of attentive luxury from start to finish. The interior is quite decadent as is the food - whether you choose the a la carte or the taster menu you will not be disappointed. The portions are not huge but instead they aim to satisfy with their imaginative combinatons and moreishly rich flavours. The taster menu took me to places I have never been - from the addictive salt cod samosa's to the confit of chicken and the snail bob-bons (weird but delicious). Everything looked like a work of art and was a pleasure to eat. The service is much less pretentious than one might expect - though some of the staff are more formal than others they do aim to please and are simply taking their jobs seriously. The wine menu runs well from end to end - with a good spread of middle to low end prices. The evening here was one of the highlights of our trip and I would encourage anyone to give it a go. Our bill came to £140 - for a taster menu, an a la carte, wine apperitifs and digestifs - the El Buli of the north.

A great chinese takeaway. I have been eating from "Stevie's" great wok for many a year and despite moving to the other side of Edinburgh I still make the effort to drive over to this Chinese takeaway.

Zucca
Lyceum Theatre, EH3 9AX, Edinburgh
from Jo (18%) on January 7th, 2008 (7 months ago)
We ate here on New Year's Eve - it was a great experience!
Both the quality of ingredients & recipes were very good, in fact the starter & main were so good we all had dessert even though we were really full!
We were enjoying it so much we even ordered a second bottle of wine to prolong the experience.
Highly recommended, excellent food & wine, attentive service & great value for money.

La Cantina

from lag (18%) on January 4th, 2008 (7 months ago)
The food in this place is superb, you must go and try the stews. Also some of the deserts are to die for...

from Anna (18%) on December 23rd, 2007 (8 months ago)
Bar Diesel is wonderful! Great service, amazing food and such good prices! The food was of a very high standard and the portion sizes were very generous! Located just off the shore, it is easy to get to and is well worth a try! We will be back again soon.
