This is the second Michelin Star restaurant we have visited this year. What a fabulous experience. It has the character found in Leith and celebrates its location and regional foods by being unpretentious and fitting in to the setting. Once inside the atmosphere clearly indicates that one has stepped up to another dining experience. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Each plate was presented as a work of art, which seems to be a hallmark of award winning restaurants. Once seated one begins to be served multiple, tastes, and bits of interesting Bites. It’s a bit pretentious, one bread choice was described in heavy French accent as having porridge, I asked ”oatmeal?” , yes, oatmeal bread with three butters or toppings in tiny arranged dishes. I chose a lamb main course that my husband described as so tender “you could eat it if you had no teeth” with a lovely crusty top breading. I would return for that. He had an amazing fish main. One thing we enjoyed, all diners seemed were dressed as if this was special. We agree, it is special.

The Kitchin

The Kitchin presents modern British seasonal cuisine influenced by French cooking techniques and an appreciation of the best quality ingredients available from Scotland's fantastic natural larder. The restaurant’s philosophy ‘From Nature to Plate’, is a t

From the moment we entered The Kitchin we felt at ease - you knew you were in safe hands. The service was impeccable from taking our coats to placing them back on us. It was like a quietly orchestrated performance and while there is clearly a hierarchy one never felt that the servers were stifled. The set lunch menu was a superb selection from the a la carte and you were also reminded that you could mix and match from both menus if something wasn’t quite to your liking which was also nice but not needed. Mr Kitchin was in The Kitchen and it was an added bonus to view through the full width windows how the brigade moved around each other, getting the orders out. I won’t run through the menu because that’s all been done before but I would sum up by saying the whole experience (oh, and no chasing us away from the table by a certain time) was great value for money, of a predictably high standard and we enjoyed every minute of it. It’s easy to get to from Edinburgh Waverley station on a single ten minute bus ride door to door and I have no hesitation urging people to go!

Booked for early evening dinner during the festival with friends. The bar offers a good selection of drinks however I would recommend not to order Prosecco as they use small glasses that are filled to the brim. There is a good choice of food. All is us enjoyed our main courses. However the main problem is the service (or lack of) despite there being plenty of staff. Staff are not very attentive and we had to go to bar at one stage to ask to order drinks. I would go back if they could improve the level of service as the food was good.

Mono Restaurant

Expect to encounter a multi-sensory experience; visual, textual, taste. Simplistic and natural interiors, complementing the effortless and fresh cuisine that follows the roots of culinary principles in Italy: excellent quality ingredients, honest cooking

Reviewed By Appelgren

Great restaurant, hard to find, well there we were surprised by a lovely Prosecco, three amuse bouches, starters like grouse or ravioli with truffles (generous) followed by mains, venison with hazelnut or guineafowl. Interesting but short winelist. Dessert was a divine nutella accompamied by an icecold expressomartini. All in all was this a great experience and in my humble opinion they deserve one star in The Michelin Guide. When the bill came I was surprised, prepared to pay at least 100£ more than I had to!

Reviewed By Maverijk

Wonderful restaurant on the south side of Edinburgh serving 8 course gastronomic delights with wonderfully matched wines. Service is excellent as is the preparation of the tasting menu. Condita is one of those no menu places. Owned by fine dining consultant, Mark Slaney, their head chef is Conor Toomey, formerly of the Isle of Eriska Hotel. Before taking charge of the kitchen at Eriska, Conor was executive chef at Amberley Castle at Arundel, head chef at Storrs Hall at Windermere and head chef at Coworth Park, Ascot. All of these held a prestigious 3 Rosettes in the AA Restaurant Guide.Highly Recommended.
