The best restaurants serving Fusion food in City Centre Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

My wife and I are visiting from the States and all our friends back home claimed that food in England was bland. At first I thought our friends were right when we dined at one of the tourist restaurants along the Royal Mile yesterday. But, tonight we stumbled upon Vesta Bar & Kitchen after visiting Dean Village nearby, and wow, I’m so happy to prove how wrong our friends are. We feel like we finally have a taste of what Scotland truly has to offer. What a delight for our stomachs and hearts. The manager, Declan greeted us with warmth, introduced me to Innis & Gunn (my new favorite lager), and recommended our main dishes that were as beautiful as they were delicious. I had the slow braised pork belly on a bed of broccolini and mashed potatoes, and my wife had the linguini with king prawns with olive oil and generous sprinkle of capers. We finished our dining experience with a chocolate cheesecake topped with a raspberry sauce. What an experience!

Have wanted to try junk for sometime and was not disappointed. We went for the 9 course tasting menu. As each course arrived the presentation never faulted & each course tasted amazing. All staff extremely knowledgeable about ingredients & cooking methods. Can't recommend enough. First class. Compliments to the chef(s) obviously very passionate & caring.
