I came here with my parents for a little post-graduation celebration. They had been raving about needing to eat fish as it's not something we get to experience often in land-locked Switzerland.
The service here was brilliant from the beginning. This modern fish restaurant is run by a Scottish family (We met the lovely mum & son). You can clearly tell that everyone that works here is passionate about food as they were very knowledgeable about describing the dishes, what was in sea-food season and recommending something to suit each of our tastes. To start, I had queenie scallops in a pernod butter, and I was blown away. Usually I am not the greatest fan of scallops due to their meaty-ness (the last ones I had in New Orleans were about the size of my fist) but these were small and even creamy, it was my favourite dish out of my entire trip to Edinburgh.
I then had the sole wrapped around fresh spinach leaves for my main which was light and succulent and went beautifully with (I think it was a pea) mash sprinkled with hand crafted chorizo and potato cubes. For dessert we had hazelnut cheesecake and a coffee-ice-cream-creation. All in all our food was presented in an amazing manner which matched the modern style & cool ambience of the restaurant- it's the right place to get seafood for real good value. Later we ambled around Leith shore and peeked into the windows of restaurants and bars before popping into the Granary for a Bellini night-cap.
