The combination of tastes and textures for each course was phenomenal. Each mouthful provoked a different and wonderful tasting experience. Service was friendly without being too intrusive. One of the best meals I've ever had. A real treat.

This restuarant is quite simply phenomenal. Second visit in recent months. Warm and engaging welcome from front of house team before enjoying the most wnderful elevated cooking in comparison to many other still great restaurants. Love, love love.

Wow! Having dined at several restaurants in Edinburgh during our vacation in the city centre, I must say that this restaurant is a favorite, and that says a lot as we also dined at The Kitchin while in town. Not only we’re the food and service outstanding, at the price point, this place delivers a great value for the discerning diner. All we can say is take an Uber to Leigh and don’t miss dining here. You won’t be disappointed. Voir le carte

We had a lovely celebratory lunch for my birthday. The restaurant was easy to find using the new tram line from the city centre down to Leith. The food was excellent with a fairly limited menu for each course, however, I find that makes you try something a bit different from the norm. The lunchtime service was virtually full which tells you something. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Leith has some great restaurants and this one is one of the best. We’ll definitely be back.

The restaurant was buzzing on arrival, we arrived a little early but were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. I had to change seats with my wife as the seat I was on dug into the back of my legs but was perfectly comfortable for her. We quickly settled and focused on our choices. We opted for the 5 course taster menu. The food was delicious, and our recommended wine excellent. The venison starter and cheese tart stood out for us and we loved the cheese course rather than a standard board. Overall we were very impressed and look forward to returning to what is clearly a very popular destination.

You know you are on to something when you ask three different friends for a recommendation for eating out in Edinburgh and they all mention this delightful place. Leith is now on the Edinburgh tram route so is very accessible. We had beautifully presented and even better tasting food, cooked in front of us without drama by the hard working chefs. Some of the best combinations of flavours I have eaten in years, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff who took justifiable pride in what they were putting in front of us. No point in recommending a dish as the menu evolves each week but in our group of two every item was a winner. Not cheap but excellent value. Voir le carte

I have been wanting to dine here for a while, but as an irregular visitor to Edinburgh getting a reservation has, until now, proved impossible. It was worth the wait. The food is imaginative, with a strong emphasis on Scottish produce, and the execution was absolutely on point. The young staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the minimalist decor to my taste. My only (very minor) complaint was that the extraction system in the open kitchen didn't quite do its job, and there was a smell from the small deep fat fryer they use. We have in the past visited The Kitchin quite a few times, and I would say this is on a par for the quality of food, but in a smaller, more relaxed environment. Leit...

Probably being Controversial here but just can’t agree with the high number of five star reviews . The meal tonight was decidedly average. Treacle bread was heavy and difficult to eat. The ravioli was cold and totally undercooked, The saving grace was the venison, perfectly cooked. I question the portion sizes, as what accompanied the mains could have sat on a tablespoon, tiny bits of purée and veg placed around the plate accompanied by jus/reduction which was good Sweets were ok with the crème caramel for me set to hard and very cold with the accompanying doughnut being quite tasteless. Possibly an off night in the kitchen but no excuse really for not checking the pasta before allowing it o...

First time here for lunch on a Saturday. Lovely vibe in the small dining room with a view into the calm open kitchen. Background music helped create a good ambience although my dining companion, who is slightly hard of hearing, found it a little too loud. The short 3 choices for each of 3 courses is highly original placing ingredients rarely seen on menus at the heart. A venison carpaccio with tiny crispy crunch capers and buckwheat flakes was a triumph, accompanied by blobs of egg yolk and micro herbs. A hispi cabbage starter was equally successful and compelling, with an exquisite cheese foam topping some fermented grains and a yogurt sauce. The main course of fillet of hare with a filo-pa...
