Mid week so was quiet with no real atmosphere. Unfortunately, the red berry sauce had been drizzled over the mash which meant I couldn't eat it. The burnt cabbage was bitter, just give me carrots or buttered green beans. The duck was cooked well. The lamb shank was tender. And the onion soup tasty. The scallops on celeriac were cool and not paticularly flavoursome. I would have appreciated a more seared outer but it is what it is.

Randomly walked in here for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. It was hard to get into any restaurants in the area but luckily, not only we got a nice little table, the food was also delicious. Octopus was yummy to start out with. My lamb shank and my husbands steak were tasty as well. We got some wine and scotch to pair. Would recommend!!

Enjoyable restaurant with good food and service. We had the brut sparkling which was very good. The onion soup was different from the usual in France, the goat cheese salad was very small with fluffy goat cheese so not what we expected and it seemed overpriced, the salmon and the breast of duck were good.

Hello, I am Thailand I came to try your food. It was very delicious and I am sorry that I came when the restaurant was about to close. Although the food took a while to wait and the price may be a bit expensive. For THB currency converted to GBP currency, all the staff were very nice and provided good service. It was the first time I ate French food and loved it very much. Next time I will come back to eat again.

Went for lunch. Delicious selection to choose from for 2-course or 3-course meal. Interesting view of high street from ground floor if you can get a window seat. Polite and helpful service from all staff. Well worth seeing the building foyer on the ground floor which you need to go through to get to the restaurant.

Quite a nice place. Food was good, not the greatest French I’ve had, but pretty decent! It’s definitely not a place I will remember for long, and not a place that I would feel like I need to go back to, but as I said - the food and everything else pretty decent!

Great food. Lamb shank with sweet potatoes was perfection. Great ambience--feels warm & like home! Popular with the locals as many of the people at various tables knew each other as well as the staff. Always a good sign! Our waiter was superb! The desserts are delicious and gluten free. Our best meal in Edinburgh!!

Oh my goodness we had such a good time here. I just wanted another pub meal but the rest of the family was tired of that food. So we ventured out. I don't even think I got our Bulgarian friends name but he took great care of us. The four us dined on the charcuterie, vegaterien risotto, linguini & prawns, moules frites, and the french shepherds pie, knocked back with a couple of delicious bottles of Pinot Noir and followed up with some choco heaven and a whisky. We had a delightful evening with great service and great food. This was our last night in Edinburgh but if we're ever back we'll be eating here again.
