What a tiny pleasant and welcoming restaurant, mostly recommanded for a casual and expressive lunch, with open view and nice walk in the Meadow, before and after ! Trust the food and wine, trust the kind and caring team, and enjoy your meal !
You must make a reservation in advance, and you won't regret it. The food waa all delicious! So glad we asked for the writer's recommendations because we ended up trying dishes and wines we wouldn't have ordered on our own.
Excellent fish, excellent service. We mussels then had halibut to share with cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, potatoes. Exquisite. Tomatoes so good I wanted a few more as there was so much fish! Highly recommended.
Leftfield has had a glow up recently, and the result is the same brilliant, fish-oriented food they've been serving for years is now served in a stylish and contemporary space that makes it a great special occasions option in Edinburgh. The stand out feature here is the service. The team are at once both warm and 'on it', making the whole thing a great experience. I'd recommend getting one of the sharing items for two if you can - the seafood platter is what they're known for, but this time we opted for the halibut and it was sensational. The desserts are a little less remarkable. A chocolate mousse with strawberry and shortbread that honestly would have benefitted from being a little lighter, and a Basque cheesecake that lacked the charred taste that's made it such a viral hit over the last couple of years. But regardless of being underwhelmed by the desserts, the rest of the menu is so wonderful it more than makes up for it.
This is what an amazing neighborhood bistro should be like. It’s small - only six tables. The food was eclectic and delicious. I loved the view from the dining room with the large picture windows over looking the park and in view of Arthur’s Seat. Our server was very knowledgeable having worked at one of my favorite 3* Michelin restaurants in Spain. It was the last restaurant we got to try on our trip to Edinburgh and it was well worth it. Highly recommended!
Lovely place, great location. Food was really good and the chocolate tart was awesome. Good wine too, and they have Pilot beer. Service was spot on, friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend it.
I only review places I like. This was one of my favorite meals. Warm, friendly environment in an intimate setting with beautiful aesthetic. Gluten friendly food without compromising anything in offerings. Hands down the best meal we had in Edinburgh. Oh, and great wine selection!
Excellent food with very fresh, high-quality products. Great selection of wines. The location is quite central, with a very nice view over the Bruntsfield Links. The restaurant is small but spacious, making the atmosphere quite intimate and simply perfect for a nice meal with friends and loved ones (particularly for special occasions!). The staff is lovely, very polite and attentive. Fair prices. I can't recommend it more.
Dinner at LeftField was equally scrumptious and beautiful - just look at these dishes! Each one was unique and perfectly balanced. The chargrilled octopus was smoky with crisp edges, and the slow cooked beef brisket and pommes anna was fork-tender and so moreish. Even the humble charred broccolini was done perfectly. Totally recommend!
