Fhior in Edinburgh, City of

Words can’t truly describe how amazing every aspect of our dinner was. It was our last night in Edinburgh and we definitely ended our trip on a high note. All the staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. We ordered from the A La Carte menu and from my lobster rolls starter to the cod main, it was like we were on an exquisite culinary journey which I did not want to end. Iulian, our waiter, was very helpful in answering any questions we had about our meals and Phil, the sommelier, kindly suggested wine pairings which were delightful to say the least. I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about dining at Fhior, but the atmosphere was very unpretentious and welcoming. I will definitely return if ever in Edinburgh again. Chef Scott creates some amazing dishes! Talent like I’ve never experienced. Do yourself a favour and go if you have a chance!

Amazing food and wine, plus perfect service and a totally relaxed and unpretentious vibe. If you're having one special meal in Edinburgh, this should be it.

Amazing food and wine with great service and a totally relaxed, unpretentious vibe. Besides the tasting menu, you can also order a la carte, share dishes, and otherwise organize your meal however it works for you. Drinks list is just as well curated as the wine and food...loved the Raasay gin and Arbikie Haar vodka.

I’m delayed in writing this review as it’s now October and we were there in May, but I feel I owe it to Fhior to post this. We were totally blown away. Went in not knowing what to expect, and wow! We had eaten at a 2-star Michelin the night before which paled in comparison to Fhior, and was three times the price. The food was exquisite - a wonderful blend of tastes, artfully displayed. So much thought and precision went into each dish, each was truly crafted. The pictures tell the story…. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. We chose to do the wine pairings with our tasting menu and felt the somm did a very good job of pairing. We have recommended to friends who have also thoroughly enjoyed their experience. We can’t wait for the day we eat here again. (And I think Fhior means true).

Had a great romantic date with my husband here. The servers were really knowledgeable and the food was amazing! I wish we lived close by so we could eat there all the time!

Americans here. Really lovely experience all around! We got the tasting menu (you should definitely spend the extra for the cheese and onion). Tasty food, warm and knowledgable service, comfortable atmosphere. Would absolutely come here again.

We had an excellent meal here! The tasting menu was sublime, the particular highlight being the lamb which blew us both away. Massive thank you to Peter for taking such good care of us and making us laugh all evening. This is a brilliant restaurant with great food and service, if you're looking for something special in Edinburgh you could not do better.

We found this place via strong recommendation from our hotel. The service staff was amazing and there were 5 chefs including the owner himself and the menu was a seasonal collaboration between two guest chefs. The experience was good and the food and wine pairing was amazing. We had a lot of fun and left with our tummies really full

We really wanted to love Fhior- unfortunately though the food tasted great, the portions were tiny- I almost walked away hungry after 7 courses. Additionally, we waited more than 30 minutes between some courses- while a leisurely meal can be nice, we finished each tiny portion in about 2 minutes and then sat staring at a blank wall feeling hungry for 30 minutes waiting for the next. It may have been an off night for pacing, but unfortunately it really made the experience less enjoyable.

What an absolutely phenomenal restaurant this is. The team were faultless from their welcome right through to their detailed knowledge of the ingredients, preparation methods and origins of each dish. We opted for a snack each then 3 courses and were wowed by each dish in turn. Definitely a place to visit more than once!

Consistently excellent. Faultless service. The most delightful food in every course - even the bread! Best restaurant in Edinburgh by far.

We had the new degustation menu and it was absolutely delicious. Every course had lovely surprises of taste or texture - or both - and left us feeling comfortable. Great wine list, which suited us better than the matched wines - though they looked good too. The staff really made a critical contribution - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly. What a great night.

We had the a la carte. It was ok. 2 of our 6 party were old and hard of hearing so my plea is if you have to make us listen to a hugely effusive description please don’t mumble and stand near the hard of hearing. If honest I would say the food was a little bland. Lamb wasn’t wonderful, Cod bland and no texture puddings, although the Cheeseand Onion pudding was very good. Sourdough bread at the start got universal thumbs up though. The phrase’ best ever bread’ was used.

Wow, das war eines meiner liebsten Genusserlebnisse seit langem. Fermentiert, geröstet, gebraten, konzentriert, püriert. Beste schottische Produkte, saisonal und hinreißend kombiniert

Fhior was perfection from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The service was impeccable and the food was innovative, light and yet with intense flavours. A unique flavour profile with each course and not a single drop in any of the elements of any dish. Coming from London, where we are overwhelmed with a choice of delicious restaurants, it was such a huge pleasure to find that same level of excitement and curiosity as a diner at Fhior. Cannot recommend this enough.

Warm & friendly staff, nordic style decor, good value wines & and lovely tasting menu. Thank you for a great evening

We were drawn to Fhior for the local ingredients and could not have imagined the innovative flavors, gorgeously presented, that achieved a comfort-food warmth. The staff were experts on the food and ingredients, as well as the wine, and gracious in helping us find selections that pleased three different palates. We all highly recommend adding the additional courses.

Simply fantastic , always a personal touch , always remember personal likes and dislikes , always make you feel at home , every dish a flavour and artistic masterpiece. Especially the balance of texture and flavour . Fhior is our special occasion destination and it has never disappointed us .

Amazing experience, as usual. Had the 10-course tasting menu and it's the best tasting menu I've ever had. Highly recommended, and great value.

Incredible flavours. Proper food to be savoured.

Recommended by friends and lived up to expectations. We had the 7 course tasting menu which was a real delight. An exceptional experience particularly helped by the staff - their knowledge, approachability and friendliness - Peter especially.

We enjoyed Fhior last year, and visited again. It does not disappoint, an experience to treasure. Had the 4 course tasting menu - beetroot magically turned into 3 different guises with prawn emulsion, mackerel caught that morning, rich duck confit with aubergine and apricot with a truly delicious rich sauce, and an intense strawberry sorbet with sweet cicely panna cotta (pale green and yummy). Completely wonderful food, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable front of house, calm and quiet ambience at lunch. We will be back next year. Just sorry we don't live in Edinburgh....

Six of us had dinner on Saturday night. From the second we sat down until we left many happy hours later we had an amazing time. Great staff who are know and fun and the food was exquisite. It’s not our first time here and it just gets better and better.

Incroyablement bon et de bonne qualité. Les vins étaient fous. J ai redécouvert le Tokay hongrois. Tout était expliqué avec finesse. Ne manquez pas ce restaurant qui est une vrai petite.

Great tasting menu. I went in late May and it had a lot of spring veggies in the menu but I don't know if it changes per season. Service was great and everyone was attentive. If you're looking to splurge on good food in Edinburgh, this is a place to go to.

We had a splendid evening at Fhior. All staff was very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was relaxed, maybe also thanks to the unconventional 80s playlist :) We had the 10 course menu, which was a little too much for me, but I really wanted to taste all the dishes. Every dish was thoughtfully composed and arranged, a real fiest. I like the emphasis on local producers and ingredients, reminds me a bit of the Noma concept, but Scottish. I also enjoyed the Kintsugi repaired tableware, gives a nice touch. We didn't take the wine pairing as a new glass of wine with every course is quite a lot. 3-4 glasses along the menu were enough for us, it would be nice if there would be this option of a "reduced" pairing. Would definitely come again!

Beautifully executed. What a team!

One of the best tasting menus we’ve ever been to. The food was delicious and perfectly crafted with local ingredients. The service, including our server and the sommelier were a pleasure to talk to. They talked us through each pairing and made the experience delightful. We will definitely be back whenever we’re in the area. Side note: they also won the best of Scotland this year and have won many awards since being open. Kudos and congrats again!

One of the finest meals of my life.

That was so great! Thank you We had a seven-course menu, every taste was an experience. With a pleasant environment and great service!

A fantastic - quality - tasting menu. Every bite was delicious and I love that every dish is made from fresh, Scottish produce. Would especially recommend for a special occasion, just make sure you leave around 3-4 hours for the full experience. Look forward to returning!

An amazing dining experience. We had the 10 course tasting menu and everything was cooked to perfection. I've went to a a number of Michelin rated places and I can say that this is definitely in my top 3 places, and the best meal I've had in my multiple visits to Edinburgh. It's very hard to choose a favourite dish as each one was a hit - flavourful and very well balanced. The service was impeccable and very friendly, and we even got a lovely recommendations for local coffee and pubs. I love the punny culinary artwork, and the ambiance was lovely, warm and welcoming. I would definitely come back if I visit Edinburgh again.

Sunday lunch was amazing, the quality of food, excellent service and cohesive menu. Scottish produce and a family feel about the restaurant. There were 8 of us and we had the front room to ourselves.

Fhior offers 10, 7 or 4 course tasting menus and you won't be disappointed whichever you select as every course is magnificent. Each dish is imaginative, really skilfully prepared, looks incredible and tastes even better. All are made from seasonal ingredients at their freshest and like all taster menus are not huge but are immensely satisfying, you won't be hungry at the end. Service is excellent - really attentive without being claustrophobic, the wine list is superb with great by the glass options and it's well worth chatting to the sommelier for advice as he is excellent. Give advance warning and Fhior will cater to dietary requests. All in, superb food, service and a fabulous experience.

Reunited date with a friend. Had the 4 course tasting menu. Started with pear cocktails, very delicious. Then had some little nibbles, one was trout roe and the other was a hash brown with a mouse on top. We also had fresh bread. Both lovely. For starters had a cured trout, then asparagus dish. Our main was the duck. It was amazing and very generous! Dessert was in season fresh strawberries with chocolate. Great value! Highly recommend. Service was impeccable, felt really well looked after.

Excellent experience, wait staff are extremely attentive and we felt very well looked after. Fold was amazing, one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh.

We came for the set menu lunch (£55pp) on a Sunday, which included 4 courses and 2 snacks. The food was top quality, the staff were super friendly and accommodating. We thought the price reflected value for money considering the quality of the meal. Really outstanding modern Scottish cuisine.

I had a lovely solo meal at Fhior after the Edinburgh half. The team is fantastic and deserves a special shout out. Although the food is exquisite, the atmosphere is very relaxed and not too serious. Loved the beetroot and asparagus dishes, as well as the duck. Dessert was zesty and refreshing. All in all, a great experience - exactly what restaurants in this league should offer.

"Exquisite culinary journey! From locally sourced ingredients to expertly foraged delicacies, this small plates dining experience redefines excellence. Phil's wine expertise elevates every bite, harmonizing with and enhancing the flavors. Each of the ten courses, meticulously crafted by talented chefs, is a masterpiece in presentation and taste. Be prepared to indulge for over three hours in a culinary symphony of delights."

We had a fantastic evening! The menu is not only super varied and interesting, but fun to eat all the time. The ten courses are always entertaining and were served with perfect speed. The team's service left nothing to be desired, super helpful and attentive. We definitely spent a star-level evening here.

Had the 10 course tasting menu with drinks pairing. Very creative and interesting, and high quality. Attentive and friendly service and a really nice pace and flow to the evening

There’s hardly anything I could fault on my experience dining at Fhior. The experience has been amazing throughout and deserving of a Michelin star. First of all, the food was amazing, the very essence of fine dining to the core. Each portion was tiny, designed to introduce new excitements on the palate. My partner and had a really fun time joking about it, that it was a very delicious potato fry, or that the resto only need to order a whole duck for the whole restaurant’s dining operation that evening, and more giggling moments about each dish story. In truth, we enjoyed every moment, each dish was really delicious and by course number 7, we were happily full. The service was lovely, attentive, and very courteous, the type of service we haven’t experience in a western restaurant in a long time (exceed London level). We saw that each server had to lead on introducing certain dish, abd they did really well for such complex descriptions! We received really nice courteous goodbye at the end of our meal which really finished the experience with a great big smile. I felt proud for booking Fhior for my partner’s 40th birthday. Atmosphere lastly was next to none. Again, very strong attention to detail. Tables were nicely spaced away from each other, giving a nice sense of privacy. The music was turned at the right volume and was really complementary to the food and to being in Scotland. Very simple decor but very high quality, we loved the little touch to having special knife for chopping few bits of duck (another chuckle for us). Another big plus was that unlike london restaurants, we were not hurried out after 2 hours allotment. Overall really a michelin star experience and zi would love to come back again!!!

Beautiful simple yet rich and wonderous serving, excellent wine pairing and some of the best service I have had in Scotland. Expensive, but worth it

A must. Everything was perfect. We had the “tasting” menu with the wine pairing. The experience, the quality of the food and the choice of wines is definitely worth it.

We enjoyed the ten course tasting with wine pairings. It was amazing- creative and delicious food, attentive service by Peter, Edith, and Seylah(?). The wine pairings chosen and explained by Phil were top notch. The speed of service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening. Thank you so much.

Food was incredible and the service was so good. Pete was very lovely. My favourite dish was the scallop!

Absolutely beautiful experience, food and wine was fantastic, it was such a great menu. My partner and I enjoyed our anniversary there, and we received a beautiful personal card from the staff. Unfortunately, we left it on the table as we were leaving!

We had a fantastic evening at Fhior with the 7 course tasting menu. We asked to split the wine flight which the team very obligingly did - meaning we both to enjoy got the lovely flavour matching of the wine to go with the food without getting pie-eyed by the end! The food was fantastic, beautifully plated and the staff were so friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed the soundtrack in the background - helped created the sense that this was serious cooking but not taken too seriously. It is expensive so not something we'll do often, but definitely worth the investment.

Fantastic experience in an incredible restaurant with incredible staff. The 10 course tasting menu was an absolute delight! Would do it all again in a heartbeat, can't wait to see what's in store for this restaurant

Phenomenal inventive food, fantastic attentive staff and completely unpretentious. Highly recommend.

One of the best dining experiences we've ever had! The menu was fresh, exciting and well executed. It was amazing trying locally sourced and inspired food and learning about it from people that truly care. All staff were great, but our main waiter, Pete, was world-class. Pete made us feel so welcomed and explained everything perfectly. We even left with a list of suggestions of other places to go! The owners and staff have created something special here. A high level of skill, care and passion was evident in all parts. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone visiting Edinburgh!

Had a lovely anniversary meal at Fhior this month. Simple, scandi style, clean decor, relaxed, good tunes. Opted for 10 courses and paired wine. Big shout out to the Sommelier who was awesome and wine choices excellent. We liked the surprise element of the menu. As with any tasting menu, some dishes shone brighter than others, but all dishes were tasty. Sensible sized portions to allow you to make it to the end. The venison tartare, scallop toast, and rhubard & meadowsweet pre-desert where my favourites. Staff were very attentive without being intrusive. Happy to answer all my random Qs. Dealt with my husbands shellfish allergy without issue. Very pleasant celebratory dinner, and the wee card on the table was very thoughtful.

We had a spectacular meal at Fhior. Possibly one of our best ever! The food was delicious, fun and surprising. Great vibe - not stuffy/pretentious. It absolutely deserves a star.

We love Fhior! We always go on our anniversary and every time it's so special. Staff are amazing, atmosphere great and food delicious.

The food was delicious and the service exceptional!

Wonderful food and perfect service. We’ll most definitely be back.

Mixtapes was a unique dinning experience - a culinary treat!

We booked the tasting menu for a family celebration dinner (party of 7) in Nov '23. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had. The food was everything we expected and more. Great quality, great tastes and just the right portion sizes. Alongside this the restaurant has a great atmosphere - a good balance between being an eating experience without being too formal or pretentious. This is helped by the staff. We could not fault the staff - they were very responsive beforehand and really helped make the evening. Definitely recommend.

I booked Fhior recently to celebrate an occasion and I can safely say this was one of the best food experience we've had in Edinburgh. We went for the 4-course set lunch menu and it exceeded our expectations. I was initially slightly skeptical about the deer course, since I normally wouldn't have any meat that isn't well done, but it was simply delicious. They were kind enough to serve my pork well done when I asked. All the dishes were an unexpected and original combination of flavours. The service was 10/10, the place is tastefully decorated (loved the artsy puns on the walls) and the background music wasn't loud or bothersome. Will definitely be back and will definitely recommend.

Been a couples of time, both were great. Friendly staffs

Loved every little bit. wine pairing for the first time in all of our tasting menu experiences matched the dishes perfectly. Beyond our expectations.

Favourite restaurant for tasting menus in Edinburgh. Always delicious dishes that are fantastically put together, and leave full as a particularly big eater. The first place that comes to mind for an occasion.

Really excellent flavours, with nicely matched wines. The staff were well informed, friendly, and unobtrusive. Given my experience here, they easily deserve a Michelin star.

Thoughtfully constructed and beatutifully presented food menu and pairing wines, true treat for the senses, with knowledgeable and charismatic servers to top it off. Will without a doubt be back at the next available date

I went to Fhior to celebrate my birthday with my daughter Giorgia . The restaurant is cosy and the waiters very welcoming and helpful. They guided us through a journey of amazing flavours. At the beginning of our meal we didn’t know what to expect and I must admit I was a little bit worried, but it was an awesome discovery- dish by dish. We spent more than three hours dining at the restaurant, but it seemed as if we had only arrived just half an hour before. I strongly recommend this restaurant .

We had the 7 course dinner at Fhior when we were in town and thought it was wonderful. The service was absolutely perfect, from the staff serving the food to the sommelier. The food was interesting, different, and really good. The decor was upscale but comfortable, and we loved the funny artwork on the walls. We would definitely return in another season to have another taste.

Fantastic lunch. We had the 7 course tasting menu and paired wines. The (almost) full experience did not disappoint! Each dish looked too good to eat - but it would be a crime not to with such vivid and interesting flavour combinations. Lots of interesting Scottish foraged ingredients such as Hen of the Woods (unless you know your foraging, this might not be what you think!). The wines were very well chosen and carefully explained. The service was very attentive and really conveyed a passion for the food. Not cheap eats but you get what you pay for! Thank you!

Fhior has been on our radar for a while and we finally managed to align the stars and make a booking. A pleasant welcome in to a smart, minimalist dining area. A stunning, well balanced, seasonal tasting menu, hard to pick any favorites, though the bere barely bread was a highlight. All perfectly prepared, cooked and presented as you would expect, service just right. A delightful evening; look forward to coming again.

Splendid! This restaurant was just an absolute treat. The food was so lovely and everything was explained so well by the staff. The service was so good and they were all so welcoming.

We booked the 4 course tasting menu at Fhior to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful with a relaxed welcoming ambience. The staff on duty were incredibly warm and friendly as well as being extremely knowledgeable about the dishes they brought us. I'm vegan and my husband doesn't eat seafood so I thought we might cause some issues for the chefs but each course was beautiful and delicious. Being vegan, sometimes I feel my food is a bit of an afterthought or cobbled together, that was certainly not the case at Fhior where every morsel was clearly given the utmost care. What a wonderful use of ingredients. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again and I recommend Fhior to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful lunch. My husband can't stop talking about the fermented butter!

We went for the 10 course tasting menu evening sitting. The food was imaginative, beautiful and DELICIOUS. I had the dairy free/pregnant menu, I didn't feel as if I was missing out on any elements of the menu, which often happens when you have dietary requirements. The staff were really attentive and knowledgeable and the decor is lovely. Comfy seats too! Great experience all round.

Really fantastic experience. All of our dishes thoughtful and creative while delivering superb quality. The service was excellent; and the environment comfortable and relaxing. Will absolutely return the next time I’m in town — can’t wait to see what’s new!

We went here on a double date on Nov 10th. The food was incredible but I think what makes this place even more special is the service and the ambiance. From outside, the restaurant looks small so there's a fear that you'll overhear everyone else's table, but this didn't happen at all -the music was just right. All staff were really welcoming and friendly. Best of all was our sommelier. Sometimes wine pairing can be a bit pompous but he was very down to earth and knowledgeable. Loved it!

Simply outstanding - each dish in the 10 course tasting was a delight and the wine pairing was spot on. Service was impeccable. Fhior made my husband's 50th birthday celebration truly remarkable.

My partner visited Fhior for the 7-course tasting menu lunch. Every part of the experience was absolutely superb-- fantastic service, exquisite food, great ambience, and a lovely wine list. The highlight was having a chat with the sommelier, and realising that we were actually in the same first-year course at the University of Toronto many years ago! Great to see you again Phil-- thanks to you and all the team for a wonderful afternoon.

The food was great, service as well. Most of the food plating looked stunning and gorgeous!! What I also really liked were the various utensils and other tableware, that was really inspiring as well!! On other hand, I was really disappointed by the interior - the entrance area is still fine/ok, but the remaining rooms and furniture look rather ikea (very/bad) cheap ( guests at next table had similar opinion). Anyway - the gloriously looking and full flavour food can still distract the visitor from the rather below-average interior, come and enjoy!!!

Let me start by saying that this restaurant is a wonderful delight. We went to Edinburgh not knowing the city and picked a restaurant based on the menu alone. The descriptions of their menus if anything underplay what you will be served. I don’t mean they could improve their descriptions, I mean without looking arrogant how do you describe delicious food beautifully served? It is all here, depth of flavour, pretty presentations, good variety, attention to detail (by the staff), food you would not normally think you would like being a great surprise. How this does not have a Michelin star is curious as we have eaten in 2* which are not as good, maybe the critics had an off day. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and smile a lot, a sign that they are well treated. The sea bass and the lamb courses are too die for but the others are not far behind I just like sea bass and lamb especially so they really worked for me. Don’t go to Edinburgh without a visit but book ahead as they are busy, another good sign eh!

We had the 10 course option which was not cheap, the presentation of the food was nice but the taste did not live up to expectation and price point. When you go to a fine dining restaurant you expect a level of quality from the venue. If the food was out of this world exceptional, it could be brushed over but the tables and room were basic, the toilets were not far off a standard pub toilet. Unfortunately this did not live up to expectations.

The food was a sensation! The restaurant is very unimpressive from the outside, but inside a real surprise. You can choose between a 7 or 10 course menu, depending on the desire also with the accompanying wines. The kitchen uses mainly regional and seasonal ingredients, the presentation on the plate with each course a small work of art. The service is extremely friendly and courteous, the staff know their products, whether explaining the dishes or introducing the respective wine. You can tell that the team enjoys working here. Would come again at any time!

Fhior = truth in Gaelic, so here’s a very truthful review: Amazing four course (plus added extras!) tasting lunch menu for veggie and non veggie. Each course was sublime, using the best natural ingredients in a very imaginative yet authentic way. Exceptional service from a team very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food they offer and who want to make your dining experience special. The anniversary card was a delightful surprise also. Thank you for making our day special. Absolutely worth a visit.

We chose the three course tasting and one of our party of four added the wine pairing. Our meal was excellent. The Sea Bass was perfectly cooked and was our table favorite. The bread course came with two butters; be sure and taste the brown butter. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations for wines to enhance the food. Every staff member was friendly and worked hard to make our meal exceptional. We only wish we lived closer to Fhior to eat there regularly.

Beautiful, delicious, farm-frwag tasting menu. I am vegetarian and I was impressed that my adapted menu was printed beforehand.

Food are very good , but the wine pairing is super good . They are not expensive wine but every wine goes so well with the food . Some of them blends out the salty taste , some of them brings out more of the taste of food / seasoning . Really really impressive with the sommelier!!!

We had a wonderful 4 course tasting lunch here - the food was amazing and the service couldn't have been better.

Such an incredible lunch! We had the 7 course taster menu and every plate was absolutely delicious and a work of art. Food and service perfection. From the moment we booked our table, the staff were extremely attentive. We were slightly worried about having our 9 month old baby with us but everyone was so welcoming. There was even an email prior to our booking offering to prepare fresh pasta for our baby! We cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much for a spectacular dining experience!

Outstanding 10 course meal. One of the best restaurants in the UK. Terrific service and they played great music from the 80's!

Lovely service from the minute we walked in till we left , such a chilled laid back calm atmosphere. Acknowledged allergies , attentive , explained every dish to us

We travelled for 4 days to Edinburgh and first thing we booked Fhior in April after seeing the chef on Great British Menu and choose for his concept and Scottish produce. We had an awesome experience with very welcoming and knowledgeable staff. The food was stellar, the turbot dish unforgettable. Wines were of high quality. Only minus was a loud group behind us, but this is not to blame on the restaurant at all. I don't know if its the strive, but I would expect Michelinstars for this in the near future. Keep up the great work! 5/5

food wasn't what we expected as it was rated very highly, lots of courses with the same creamy consistency, restaurant was freezing and had to ask if the heating could be put on

We love Edinburgh, having visited on a couple of previous occasions. It is a city of immense history and charm. We had heard of Fhior from friends in Australia. It did not disappoint. Chef Scott's particular focus on local ingredients, sourced locally and further afield, combined in delicious and creative ways, with an excellent wine list, far surpassed our expectations. Combined with friendly and very knowledgeable staff (esp Phil and Florence) our dinner was truly excellent. If you have a love of fabulous dining, Fhior is a must. John and Regina, Warragul, Australia

A wonderful evening at Fhior. The team were welcoming and provided a high end experience with more than the usual descriptions of the dishes. Phil, the head sommelier, gave an engaging presentation of the drinks pairings on each course and made sure the evening flowed in more than one sense of the word. Thank you Fhior for a wonderful and special evening - we hope to come back as the seasonal menu changes.

We heard about about Fhior in a NY Times article and had a visit to Edinburgh planned, so we made a reservation for dinner on a Sunday night. It far exceeded our expectations. We had the 10 course meal (which actually seemed like 14 especially...

So pleased to finally get the chance to experience Fhior. It did not disappoint. We had the 10 course tasting menu with wine pairing, which was exceptional. Each course was beautifully presented - some may be very small but the overall experience is the thing....

There is fine dining and then on a completely different planet is FHIOR. My wife and I felt that this was one of the very best meals we have every had in 30 years of dining out. We had the 7 course tasting menu which...

Agree with previous reviewer who wrote “Very expensive and lacking the wow factor”. The food looked absolutely beautiful, there is a huge amount of skill in this cooking. However, not once during the 7 course tasting menu did either of us think "wow! - that's...

We booked the ten course tasting menu with wine matching at Fhior for our 20th wedding anniversary.  Our daughter joined us as she was starting at the University (not for the wine matching!) From the moment we arrived we knew we were in for a very special evening.  The whole team were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed and even an anniversary card was on the table from the team. The sommelier and all of the waiting staff were incredibly knowledgeable about the food and wine and the service was faultless but not intrusive. The food was outstanding.  The flavours, textures, aromas and presentation were sheer wizardry!  The best tasting menu we have experienced with superbly matched fantastic wines. The atmosphere, music, flavours and wines triggered so many very specific memories from the past 20 years of our marriage - a true testament of a very special place that stimulates and delights all of the senses! Thank you to the the whole team for a wonderful evening that we will always remember!

Disappointed not to be wowed by the tasting menu. Exceedingly small portions for each course, some of which were a confusion of flavours. The music in the restaurant was very loud and made it difficult to hear what our servers were saying about each course....

I would highly recommend Fhior for anyone who has food allergies/intolerances. I have several severe allergies (peanut, lentil, potato) and the staff were extremely accommodating with advance notice. Beautiful fresh ingredients and unique flavour combinations. It made for a fantastic worry-free night out!
