Restaurante encantador, El personal muy amable Una visita digna Gran selección de tapas El pescado blanco crujiente era increíble mi favorito.

No accessible toilets is a real drawback

Incredible value for money. Best in Edinburgh.

Best Greek food in the city - never disappoints.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend of a friend and I think I also saw it on TimeOut so I said we gotta go. He didn’t have a reservation but were only two people and thankfully they were able to find a table for us. The place is below the street level and tiny. Candle lit and moody, very dramatic but the art on the wall lifts the spirits a bit. The menu consists of tapas like dishes to share and we were recommended to pick 5 things. We chose 3 starters and 2 mains. The chicken was super juicy and very well seasoned, it was very spicy but I like spicy so it was right up my alley. The shiitake mushroom was great too. The cheese filled choux pastry was delightful, there’s only one so we ordered two. The venison tartare was gamey in a good way and beautifully prepared. The mushrooms tons and chives added a great flavor but also texture, love itttt. There’s a selection of cocktails and also wine by the glass. The only downside was the lack of ventilation, the food smell is overwhelming and I still smell of food 😅 The service was amazing, all the staff is lovely honestly we were very well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend to anyone coming to Edinburgh!!

Got the Catalan I think, jamon was average and olive oil has this unpleasant edge. Ingredients are not of high quality, and the crusty bread was quite decent on its own but it's too thick and hard for a sandwich. 4 thin slices of jamon also was hardly enough, the ratio of the dense bread to the filling was just too much. Maybe if half of it was served as a open faced sandwich it might be better(although more difficult to eat possibly)

The website is still showing “temporarily closed” yet no reply to emails regarding voucher that was purchased last year. Value of voucher £150, will the restaurant re-open and this be honoured?

We drove from Melrose to Edinburgh just to taste the food from this lovely restaurant. Me n my husband love our Goan food it feels homely. It was worth a one hour drive to Edinburgh. The food was lovely, more over the Goan owner of that shop she was very welcoming . For a moment we felt like we were back in Goa. I guess it’s not just the food I mean of course the food was delicious, mouth watering but the customer service was beautiful. She made us feel welcomed in a Goan style 😅 . I would definitely recommend every Goans to visit this place and try our Goan food from here . You will not regret 🥰😘🥰 ——- thank u neighbour ♥️ Sorry no photos of the food because we forgot to click it . We were too busy tasting the food 🙄😅😝😋

Excellent, friendly service and fantastic food.

Mushroom soup was fantastic and a great portion for the price, friendly service. Will definitely be back when next in the area

The only nice thing in this bar, was the atmosphere. We came for date night and we were looking for some nice wines, maybe some cheeses, even in higher price range. It took some time before we were even seated, after that everyone has better job, than give us some menu, one of them also ate some noodles on the bar in front of guess, when we were waiting. After quite some time we choose wine what was recommended to us, but when we tried it, it was anything but good wine. When we looked the price on internet the wine which cost us 30 pounds, cost 10 pounds...Which was not what we were happy about. I understand profit is needed, but that much? Also when we came, we were told by one of the staff that the kitchen is closing in 5 minutes and we cant order food. When another waitress comes in, about 30 minutes after and asks, If we want the food menu, for ordering the food. Horrible experience!

Lovely little place, great staff, awful weak coffee. Shane.
