"First time here for lunch on a Saturday. Lovely vibe in the small dining room with a view into the calm open kitchen. Background music helped create a good ambience although my dining companion, who is slightly hard of hearing, found it a little too loud. The short 3 choices for each of 3 courses is highly original placing ingredients rarely seen on menus at the heart. A venison carpaccio with tiny crispy crunch capers and buckwheat flakes was a triumph, accompanied by blobs of egg yolk and micro herbs. A hispi cabbage starter was equally successful and compelling, with an exquisite cheese foam topping some fermented grains and a yogurt sauce. The main course of fillet of hare with a filo-pastry encrusted homemade hare boudin, deep fried, and served with a deep, rich jus, some creamed celeriac and a slightly underbaked candied celeriac slice was also excellent. Very imaginative in design and extremely well executed. Desserts came with perfectly matched dessert wines. The bay leaf infused crème caramel was absolutely spot on; wonderful texture of smooth deliciousness; the bay did not dominate, in fact it was so subtle it was barely there. The accompanying deep fried doughnut was amazing. The orange-infused cranberries were good but perhaps slightly overwhelmed the crème. The rice pudding dish was served warm, with some chopped fig and diced stem candied ginger, with a ginger ice cream on the top. Although this was the dish I had most anticipated, it fell a little short of expectations and didn’t have quite the ‘wow’ factor of all the other dishes. Service was first class. Exemplary in every way. Would strongly recommend and will definitely return."

very small restaurant, they must absolutely book. great service and good teller of eating well cooked. best to describe as fine eating. this is not a cheaper place, whether it is still worth money, the jury is out. not a place I quickly return to, but I am happy to have visited.

Lovely intimate atmosphere with a well constructed menu using quality local ingredients skilfully prepared and presented. Wines were matched to our menu choices and staff were very knowledgeable and passionate about the food and drinks which added to the experience. Quite simply sublime and a must go to destination in Edinburgh.

One of the best up and coming restaurants in Edinburgh! There’s no choice in the set lunch menu but I don’t think there’s a need for any choice. The bread to start is unlike any other restaurants I’ve visited. Very unique! The ground venison and offal starter is rich in flavour. The trout for the main course is perfectly cooked; crispy skin included. Lastly, the pannacota dessert was just sublime for the hot but short Edinburgh summer spell.

never disappointed with the little chartroom. consistently about numerous visits (including pick-up service). great ingredients properly treated to create delicious dishes. always change by season and production. the restaurant itself may be small, but the aromen are large. Random and dissatisfied workers add that it is attractive. certainly a restaurant that we also come back and given the options in edinburgh it definitely about its small stature.

Probably being Controversial here but just can’t agree with the high number of five star reviews . The meal tonight was decidedly average. Treacle bread was heavy and difficult to eat. The ravioli was cold and totally undercooked, The saving grace was the venison, perfectly cooked. I question the portion sizes, as what accompanied the mains could have sat on a tablespoon, tiny bits of purée and veg placed around the plate accompanied by jus/reduction which was good Sweets were ok with the crème caramel for me set to hard and very cold with the accompanying doughnut being quite tasteless. Possibly an off night in the kitchen but no excuse really for not checking the pasta before allowing it o...
