Noto in Edinburgh, City of

Bland food that wasn’t sufficient for the group. Disinterested unprofessional waitress. Told us they were closing and we should finish our meal, then charged us over £600 for the privilege and whacked a 12.5% service charge on top without asking. It was just the most disappointing experience.

The service and the place were amazing. However, all the dishes were extremely salty, was totally disappointed

Excellent concept of tapa still food. Everything was outstanding. Our favorite were the mushrooms n truffle croquettes. Services was amazing.

Fabulous evening. Outstanding food, lovely staff, great friendly feel to the place. Staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend this place. Kind regards Jon and Anne

Superb! Highly considered delicious dishes, full of flavour – in a welcoming environment.

Hands down one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Small plates full of massive flavour. We had five small plates (all shared between two of us) before having the chocolate miso bar for dessert. The dessert alone is worth the cost of the entire meal.

This place makes it into my top 5 fav places to eat! Every bite was so delicious, we had the crab butter to start and to finish it was out of this world and we will be talking about it for months to come… the croquettes were divine and the pork was so fun and finger licking good! We sat at the bar and looked after by Aiden who was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and made our evening’s experience even better. I love this cute local restaurant with everything on the menu being so original. We will be back!!! Thank you :)

Had a lovely time at Noto! Came here on a recommendation from a colleague, so glad I did :) Servers were very nice and did a fantastic job with bringing out the dishes evenly, allowing us to have plenty of room at the table. Liked the intimate vibes, and sat by a window which was nice. 5 plates was pretty solid, though we could've definitley gotten 6 and been not stuffed. - Crab Butter: sooooo yum. Wish there was a bit more crab in this, but omg wow so delicious. Order this first, so you can keep the butter throughout the rest of your meal. Pairs wonderfully with the sourdough. - Kale Salad: this was okay. Wish it came with more greens. Had a nice crunch to it. - Anster Croquettes: so rich and savory. Can be cut in half, but fun to take in one bite once they cool off. - Okonomiyaki - I personally do not like this dish (not just at Noto, but anywhere), so gave it all to my partner - Scallops with Shellfish Dumplings - small, but scallops had a nice flavor and texture to them. Slight crunch on the edges, but smooth inside. Dumplings were fab too. Would definitely come back!

Unfortunately not convinced of the price, nor of the Bib gourmand. It’s really way too expensive for what it is, and out of the 4 dishes I tried, only the butter crab was really good. Mackerel I really disliked, tartare was meh, same for dessert. One thing I absolutely can’t forgive: the waiter took away my cocktail before I finished it.

Top restaurant with small dishes to share for two. The recommendation being 4 to 5 dishes to be satisfied. The flavor combinations are well found, even original, it was flawless from the first course to the dessert accompanied by a good orange wine from Sicily. Excellent service, a chair was even available for our little girl. Allow for service charges/tips.

Too expensive and the dish is too small.

Great creative cuisine. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of the Royal Mile. Wine and beer by the glass keep the bill reasonable.

My favorite meal during this Edinburgh trip is the dinner experience at @notoedinburgh for sure. The food was delicious with an East Asian twist, and people were so welcoming. I can definitely see how they’ve gotten the Bib Gourmand recognition and their ambition towards a star! I just wish that the lighting could be a little brighter because I literally was unable to see what my food looked like without my own lighting, and their plating was beautiful so I’d loved to see it!

Superb small plates restaurant. Amazing taste sensations!

Brilliant service and everything was absolutely delicious! Cannot wait to go back.

Wonderful! Came here for an anniversary celebration and we were so happy with the food, drinks, service and atmosphere. Every plate was thoughtful and extremely tasty and we felt very well looked after. Sitting at the bar was a nice vibe and the bar staff were super friendly and made incredible cocktails. 10/10

Ate at Noto for my son’s birthday last night. Funny experience. We all felt the food was good, but we probably won’t go back. There were 3 of us, sharing, and it felt that some of the dishes didn’t really lend themselves to that, like the trout. Really 2 mouthfuls. Things like the crab and bread were good shouts, but we could have done with more info on really dinky options. Also, it asked when we booked if it was a special occasion, but my son wasn’t even offered a happy birthday greeting. So, food tasty but so close to a tasting menus size that not really possible to share!

Food was expensive and really not that special. It tasted good, but not worth the price. Service was fairly good though. I had the tomato cocktail which was special but pricey.

Noto is a nice restaurant with interesting flavor combinations. I would highly recommend the bbq monk. The pork belly, tartare and chocolate miso bar desserts are nice as well. The food is good and the staff is friendly.

Bossam was the most delicious! The atmosphere is good, but the portions are a bit small.

The fact that I only took one photo says it all. Small tasting plates and each and everyone was taste explosion. Who can think about taking more photos. Utterly delightful evening.

Great small plates - some really excellent bits of fish including the yuzu-soaked mackerel and the monkfish. Only criticism would be that the dishes, though excellent, don't really lend themselves to a small plates/sharing format as some served in bowls with sauces and odd numbered pieces.

Amazing food! Really recommend. Both food and drinks were tasty. Would come again and try the other dishes we didnt try.

It was so loud in the restaurant that I couldn’t enjoy my dinner. Our table was sandwiched between 2 others and when I saw how close the tables were, I asked if we could sit at one of 2 empty tables by the wall. Despite making a reservation a month before and although one of those tables was not seated until 10 minutes before we left, they were unable to seat us in a quieter spot. I honestly had to lean in and ask my husband to repeat himself every time he spoke. It was exhausting. 2 of my 3 dishes were so-so; the pork belly lettuce wraps were very tasty.

This was our first meal in Edinburgh and it was incredible! We tried almost all of the tasting plates and it was paired with the most perfect wines. Highly recommend!

Noto already has so many accolades that I'm not sure a google review is necessary, but regardless, it was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. My husband and I visited here for a lunch during our honeymoon, and the interior, staff, and food were all immaculate. The prices are accessible, which is really wonderful for how amazing the food is. The Cactus Blossom cocktail was incredible. The service was prompt and discreet, and the decor is understated but intriguing. I'm still dreaming about the avocado, daikon, and rice roll, and I'm afraid that I can't eat gnocchi ever again because nowhere else could live up to the gnocchi from Noto.

Beautiful interior and great service! Desserts could be improved.

We loved celebrating my wife's birthday with our family Noto. The service was exceptional, warm and professional. As we had a couple of dietary restrictions noted ahead of our lunch, the staff were well aware and prepared. The food was (again) fantastic, beautifully served and plates cleared. Will be back!

Awesome hole in the wall restaurant serving up fun small dishes. The north sea crab with warm butter and sourdough is to die for. The beef tartare was very good and the broccoli tempura with togarashi was exceptional. The arbroath smokie croquettes with katsuobushi were also very good and super interesting if you never had katsuobushi before. The ox cheek bao buns with onion and star anise were also to die for and the short rib with maitake, cherry mustard, and celeriac was just good. The prices are super fair and you get great value here. I really enjoyed this spot and highly recommend it

It was the best dinner I had in Edinburgh. All the food is unique and excellent. The portion size per menu is small, and two people ordered 4 dishes and were full. There is also a fusion Korean-style bossam menu, and the meat is really soft, a softness I have never experienced even in Korea. The staff's service was very good, but it was a bit difficult to understand because they spoke so fast. I highly recommend this as a place to have a memorable dinner in Edinburgh.

Cute restaurant and friendly service. Portion sizes leave a bit to be desired but the food is nice nonetheless

No words can describe how delicious the food is :)

The four restaurants in this hospitality group - Noto, Aizle, Tipo, and Lyla - refuse to accommodate common dietary requirements.

Just lovely in every respect. Delicious food, great service: you can easily see how they got onto the Bib Gourmand list. We loved the crab butter and the trout temaki especially, but everything we had was excellent. Great cocktails as well. We left completely full and satisfied, which can't be said of every small-plate restaurant! Would definitely return on our next visit to Edinburgh.

Noto is a restaurant offering incredibly innovative, modern Scottish cuisine. The dishes are served “to share” so that you can share the pleasures together. With four people you can try out a lot of things this way. Our highlights were the north sea crab, the beef tartar and the monkfish. Plus a totally committed and friendly service. - Perfect! When it comes to wines, there is still a lot of room for improvement. The drops on offer simply don't offer enough for the prices quoted.

It was ok. The food sounded good but we found it to be heavily over seasoned. We couldn't even taste the crab in the soup. Also the service, while quick, was ok. Taking items off the table before being asked if we had finished is not good service in my opinion.

What a great discovery! Every dish was really finger licking good! You can't make a wrong choice. To put forward a favorite, we choose the bing bread with the whipped tofu. Genius!

Sat at the bar and had the most amazing meal with the best service. Highlights were the crab, Scottish mackerel, and the peach salad.

Awesome meal for my girlfriend's birthday

It'd become a favourite of ours since moving to Edinburgh. We always visit on special occasions and it's worth it. We like to sit at the bar as we can people watch and enjoy the environment. The crab butter is mainly why we go as its delicious. Small plates which are perfect for sharing so you can enjoy more of the menu. The wine and cocktails are amazing and we always finish with the malted ice cream dessert. We'll be back!

The food is good. The red-haired waiter (I don't remember his name) was extremely attentive and kind. On the other hand, the waitress who looks like Sister Mary from “Hocus Pocus” made it very clear that from the moment we sat down, she just wanted us to leave as soon as possible. Extremely rude.

We entered and politely asked if they had a table for dinner. Response to 5 at the bar (wooden stools) we said no thanks. He turned around and didn't respond. In the end. Bad education and no kindness. How unattractive this formula is.

Food was fine but for considerably cheaper you can get a similar standard of cooking elsewhere. Many of the dishes seemed to involve miso and/or lots of sugar/honey, which isn't really very inventive. Also, maybe I'm comparing with Spain, but cherry tomatoes and sweetcorn aren't exactly delicacies to pad out a small dish with. In short, quite expensive (£165 for 2 for dinner with 1 bottle of wine) and not very imaginative. Service was good.

Absolutely superb! Food was yummy..at first it looks small portions but filling! Try shaved trout and truffle croquettes (wow!) …very different Friendly knowledgeable service …nice surroundings…a bit pricey but worth a visit 🙂 We loved it!

Booked this well in advance so started to build some excitement, wasn’t a bad experience but also wasn’t anything special. Barely an atmosphere with the blank walls, the food was whatever and the service also lacking with our plates never being replaced throughout the entire service. I think we just expected more for it being “michelin star” but regardless had a nice time with my boyfriend on his birthday because we’re on vacation and it’s hard to be too bummed lol

Wow Great restaurant Gourmet tapas style Highly recommended

Each dish is a real discovery. Excellent cuisine with very original tastes. Highly recommended if you are passing through Edinburgh

What an excellent place - a must-stop for foodies who want to try fresh local ingredients done up with inventive twists. We loved the North sea crab with butter, the makeral and esp. the peach salad.

Very good dishes, friendly atmosphere (minimalist decor and smiling service). But the prices are (very) high compared to the quantities served, even though we are not in a gastronomic atmosphere/standard. So quality/price ratio could be improved, you can go out with a bill of 150€ (with drinks) and still be a little hungry. If you can afford it, very good place for food!

Arrived with high expectations but left somewhat underwhelmed and hungry. The food is fine (portions are ridiculously small) but really nothing exceptional and it certainly doesn’t justify the high prices.

Really enjoyed our lunch at Noto! The food was very good, inventive and well thought out. The cocktails were also great! Our favorite dishes were the crab soup, trout temaki, grilled peach salad and the miso monkfish. All those were so delicate and flavorful and just outstanding overall. The dishes that didn’t hit the spot were the bing bread which was not as soft as imagined and had to much going on with overload of soy sauce and texture problems and the mackerel that we found not the tastiest. Overall a great spot which is trying to do something unique and interesting which I highly recommend to visit for any foodies. The service was also great, as the food was taking a while to come out they apologized and got us a round of drinks on the house which was so sweet!

Special place for an intimate dinner Tasty small plates to share We love the Gnocchis and chicken Lovely experience

Very nice place - tapas type dishes - good bar - try the gin sour.

Simply the best food experience in Edinburgh. Especially if you consider the price! This is extremely good and tasty food. The concept with small tasty dishes to share works very well, and all the dishes are so well tasting and beautifully arranged.

Food excellent; the crab in particular. However, one of our dishes was forgotten and the dining room infested with fruit flies. Really disappointing.

For Taiwanese tastes, this fish dish is really too salty, so salty that it’s inedible. But the beef tart is pretty good. If you really want to eat it, you can order it.

Amazing! The crab was so spectacular that we ordered a second one! All dishes were tasty and the staff was friendly and impeccable, if we come back to Edinburgh we will definitely eat here again!

We tried several delicious dishes. The highlight of the dinner was the north sea crab with warm butter and sourdough, and trout temaki. The scottish strawberry with hibiscus meringue for dessert was amazing. The service was friendly and welcoming.

A mixed experience as the waiter messed up with our orders countless times and forgot to add specific sauces to some of the plates. He had to be told multiple times. He also ordered and served a fried chicken kimchi dish to us that wasn’t on the menu and then charged us for it. The food may be great but the service is amateur. This restaurant will be out of business once the hype ends.

Almost all dishes were over salty, nothing was really special… I personally would rather spend my time, money and calories somewhere else.

I quite liked my dining experience at Noto. Tried the bread and butter, crab, tempura, chicken, gnocchi, monkfish and lamb. My favourite dishes were the tempura and the lamb. Overall, high price for tiny servings. Service was very friendly.

This place discriminates against Asians, and Asians and Europeans will be treated differently. First, the waiter did not take the initiative to take orders for 20 minutes, did not use honorifics, and did not take the initiative to ask about coats (but asked Europeans very attentively). When complaining, the waiter even glanced at his watch, which is typical discrimination. Secondly, the service of the waitress (in white) with a tattoo on her arm at the front desk was so bad, she is sooooo rude! We arrived 50 minutes early, and she would ask Asian people, do you know what time your reservation is? He seemed to be indifferent. Say the guest means. I don't know where their sense of superiority comes from. I advise our Taiwan compatriots in China not to come. If you are Asian, please do not come here. As I said, the rice is okay and the portion is relatively small. I have eaten at more than 20 Michelin restaurants, and this service is the worst.

Definitely agree with the other 2 &3 star reviews. Was super (super!!!) excited to eat here, however nothing overly stood out about this establishment. Even the presentation wasn't that wonderful and I forgot to take photographs. We tried the northern Atlantic crab (the best dish of the lot), vegetable tempura, tuna with yuzu, gnocchi, coffee Korean chicken and monkfish. We didn't quite make it to the lamb as the lunch service wasn't great -- took 1.5 hours to get to the monkfish and it was lukewarm and rubbery, so we cancelled the lamb as we were a bit fatigued. The Korean chicken was lovely and unique with the bitter flavours and daikon, as well as the home made kimchee. The gnocchi was buttery and fluffy. However most of the dishes seemed over buttered (or over oily with the tempura) and excessively salty. All in all a big disappointment after booking this months ago. :(

Absolutely recommended, we had a delicious lunch and ordered one of the dishes again.

Noto was a very fun experience! I loved the small plate concept and really enjoyed every item that I received. The buttermilk chicken was particularly good! I also thought the waitors did a fantastic job throughout our meal!

Cool spot and great food - definitely get the crab. Service was great. Highly recommend in Edinburgh.

I get the feeling this place is only going to get more and more good press. Excellent wee spot; food, service and atmosphere all great. We were £100+ per guest, but totally worth it. Equally could be half that if you're driving afterwards. Order more than you think you should though, you won't regret it. Spicy whipped tofu, coffee chicken and okonomiyaki were my highlights. Enjoy!

Food was absolutely lovely and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Had a terrific experience and look forward to next time.

Absolutely loved eating here. The staff were so welcoming from stepping foot in the restaurant, really attentive and spot on. The flavours of the food, everything g was super fresh and unique. I would love to come back again next time I’m in Edinburgh.

Innovative menu, beautifully executed, very helpful and friendly staff! Will definitely go back to try another dishes on the menu.

We ordered all the eight small dishes on the menu. The beef tartare was the most delicious. The crab butter soup fit perfectly with sourdough. And the fried buttermilk chicken with coffee really amazed me that I’ve never thought coffee can be used as sauce. However it’s pretty pricey and each dish was just one bite. Other dishes were just ok and not really worth the price. Service was brilliant that they even gave us additional utensils to eat a cake.

very well prepared dishes deserving of a michelin recommendation, not overly pretentious and at a reasonable price too! went with an old friend visiting edinburgh and we were both very impressed

Very pleasant surprise, very good meal, all the dishes are perfectly prepared and tasty, the welcome and the service are impeccable, we had an excellent evening

Not at all as we expected. The decor is bland and sparse. Cheap furniture, bare. Waiting staff spoke extremely high pitched and fast. We could not understand them, even when asked to slow down. They seemed perturbed. Table decor too simple. Horrid napery. Tables chipped. Food was sometimes interesting, often not. Crab was terrific, the sour dough old. Tartare tasty. Butter chicken grim. Tempura oily and overcooked.. weird. No espresso machine. Dessert was good. Staff rushed and not attentive. Can’t recommend this place.

Came for a graduation meal and was genuinely delighted. Small sharing plates that come out at a range of times, don’t expect the quickest meal but the timing lets you enjoy the food. We had a delightful waitress for us all night. The desserts were absolutely fantastic, not sure where they’ve got the chef from but they’ve done well there.

Absolutely incredible. Ambience was fantastic. Food was creative, fresh and delicious. Well priced and good value for the quality and experience.

Great food and very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend the buttermilk chicken and the crab butter.

Incredible menu. This restaurant deserves a Michelin star.

Hidden gem in Edinburgh! A very and truly fusion Japanese restaurant. The rhubarb merengue is to die for.

Exquisite food and delightful service, truly exceptional!

A fantastic experience! I enjoyed the trout, tartare, fried chicken, and was so impressed I went on to order the lamb. My server was absolutely excellent and she understood my taste in wine perfectly. (Didn’t catch her name but she had dark long hair). The natural rosé and black garlic gel were huge standouts - can’t wait to revisit!

Recommended by friends, we decide to have dinner in this very nice place with promising dishes. The search for innovation is evident, intriguing dishes, some better than others. Surely you can do better given the prices. The raw material is undoubtedly of excellent quality, but the fried vegetables and the seasonal salad, for example, are out of place with the line that this restaurant wants to have. Interesting cocktail list but here too, nothing special in practice.

really lovely sharing plate experience. we enjoyed every dish especially the crab. giulia was lovely and explained every dish :)

Delicious foods, very tasty but small portions. Very posh atmosphere

This was our first time in Noto, we’ve got served by a lady 2 days ago she was in details with the food but there’s one thing that she said to us that the portions were big to fill you up in a way, so we’ve decided to get 3 starters, 2 cocktails and tap water, the dishes came quickly and we had a lovely North sea crab butter at the start and then we had the beef tartare with 3 small pieces and I thought was a joke I mean it was delicious, so in the end the portion weren’t too big as she said at the start, then the Arbroath croquettes 6 small balls came, not so much again, so me and my partner we’ve decided to calculate in total was £69 but we’ve looked in our faces we’ve though was a joke, drinks were in really small quantity for £12 each and the dishes as I said were small portions, and the lady came asking if we wanted to have “more” food no way!!! is this a kind of way to make spend more money or what??? I get they were delicious but after we’ve paid £69 we were starving and my partner paid for the service, personally if it was me I wouldn’t. If I recommend please go in places were you can spend less and have at least big portions. Unbelievable 😂😂

Awesome spot! Great food and service. We sat at the bar and loved our experience! Staff were so pleasant and helpful, would definitely recommend! The lamb and steak tartar were must haves!

Incredible food and excellent service. We always book the bar table to enjoy chats with the staff for local knowledge and it didn’t disappoint - Aidan is a cocktail master and made us some delicious bespoke cocktails and gave us so many tips for our trip. Our waitress Serena was also so friendly and made the whole night so fab. Food was delicious especially the crab and the wagyu beef tartare. Will be back on our next Edinburgh trip!

Would have been 2 stars, but the 2 desserts we had were really good. The food was just mediocre. Not a single dish blew us away, everything was just ok. With all the great restaurants in Edinburgh, I wish we didn’t come here. The desserts saved the meal, The steak tartar - a small portion served on bland potato. All you taste is the bland potato, it’s really a Potato dish, for the price to have 1 tablespoon of tartar on a potato is unacceptable. The Trout Temaki again, unacceptable portion for the price. The seaweed is fried crispy. Very small amount of fish, and messy. The Korean Fried chicken was not a successful dish. It was greasy, had no crunch. Tastes like oil. Gnocchi was average. Fish was very good. Lamb was the worst dish on the menu way over priced. Maybe a 3 oz portion of lamb at most. The food was so bland and average we actually asked for the check without dessert, but instead of leaving on a bad note we decided to order anyway. Both were really good. Not sure I would ever come back, we have had 4 meals in Edinburgh, this was the worst - they add 12.5% service fee. just food, no drinks for 2 people £145. Indian take out would have been a more flavorful meal for £100 less. would come back for dessert only.

Perfect location, happened to be on the same block as the rental apartment we stayed at. Intimate, modern & minimal decor. Good service and delicious food. Overall a nice meal was had. Small menu, I think we ordered most of the dishes. Everything was delicious.

Food was amazing and well catered for gluten free options

Delicious, creative and unique menu. Lovely atmosphere. All the good stuff without being pretentious

Just walk in without reservation for tonight which was good. I'm lucky bc only got me and myself haha. Spend a lovely time there and the food and cocktails were great.

Exceptional! Was in Edinburgh for just one night and am so glad I followed Tiktok recommendatins to Noto. Our server was incredible - going out of their way to accommodate my allergy and provide recommendations on what to have. On mentioning that my spouse is veggie, we were brought new menus with options not on the default menu. All other staff we interacted with were wonderful too. The food itself was wonderful. Alongside veggie options, I selected the crab and it was as good as everyone says. I even enjoyed the kale - not something I ever thought I'd find myself saying. The interior is very reminiscent of east London with minimal decoration and attention paid to good lighting.

The north sea crab and beef tartarte are amazing. Service is exceptional. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem in a quiet street. The crab is really really good. Best steak tartare I had. All portions fit for 2 people to go with 5-6 different dishes. Service is great. Team is helpful and explaining all the dishes making sure you’re happy. The cocktails are nice and you have options. Overall a good dining experience. Spacious restaurant with relaxed atmosphere.

One of the best restaurants in the city! Excellent food and service, an absolute must go to!

We have now been three times and the food has been superb every time.

I and a friend came for lunch. We had a nice welcome by the waiting staff and were seated close to the window. They explained us how the menu works and we order 4 dishes plus two desserts and two glasses of wine. The primitivo rose had a nice fruity bouquet while the Pecorino was a nice one but standard. Of the four dishes we tried the most nice was the salmon tartare. It had a nice combination of flavors and consistencies. It was the sillier but the nicest. The tartare was good but nothing special, same for the croquettes. The Bao Bun was an interesting concept. But the pulled duck inside was a bit too dry. It would have been much nicer with a sauce inside together with the duck meat. The desserts were simple but very nice. The combination of chocolate mousse and miso was delicious. It was a good experience, but the prices are very high for a beef tartare on potato dauphinoise a salmon tartare with some rice and fried nori and croquettes. The dessert were well priced for their quality. Service was good but not super attentive, but to be honest they got pretty busy. The atmosphere was friendly and but the rooms decor is a bit empty. If you have never been I would definitely check Noto out.

Highlights were the crab and the duck bao, very good. The other dishes were ok, the fried chicken a bit disappointing (not crispy). Prices on the higher side

This review is only focused on Giulia, the manager. She made the entire dining experience at Noto really disappointing. Although food was good, the way we were greeted and dealt with at entry was a bit rude as it soured our overall experience at the restaurant We arrived early to our reservation and came in to see if we could be seated earlier than expected. After a bit of back and forth we were offered a seat at the bar instead of our table with the agreement of being seated when a table is available. Through our entire seating, two different couples that reserved at the bar were re-seated at a table (because we were sitting in their place,ironically). We felt that these actions were a bit spiteful (from the manager), so we nudged again to be seated at a table to be more comfortable. Giulia eventually agreed and seated us in the potentially worst spot in the restaurant - the entire interactions were okay, but subtly rude. Ultimately we highlighted to Giulia that this really soured our night, and instead of trying to fix this, she resorted to gaslighting insisting we were wrong in even ask to be seated earlier than our reservation. All in all, this is just a note to Noto management that such interactions could really be dealt with in a much more amicable way and not leave customers feeling unhappy and a bit angry at the restaurant.
