Do The Dance Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Where did I ask for your opinion :P Na i know i read that back and thought i sounded like a knob. I was going to take my bird to the kitchin for her birthday but i read the menu and it was mostly fish and nothing that was really to either of our fancies so thought best to avoid it. Are there any other mitchelin star restaurants in Edinburgh? There were 5 michelin star restaurants in edinburgh (2011 guide) although now 4 if plumed horse is closed.. all have been mentioned in this thread.

Radioactive Mince Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I've never been but I'm absolutely dying to go, mostly because every report I've heard has more than matched your OP criteria....but The Kitchin would be top of my list. There are a good few places on that list, but this one is definitely my priority next time I have the right sort of reason to go to a place like that. I usually take a look at the menu when I walk past there most weeks and it always sounds amazing. THIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic_bas Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Coming from a family of vegetarians I'll have to give a shout out to David Bann's on St Mary's street. Finding tasty veggie food is very tricky but this place has lot's of interesting options. I went there for my Birthday one year and even the more carniverous amongst us thourghly enjoyed their meals.

Millerntor Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It used to be Isa's chat 'n' chew on north junction street or maybe Bonita' cafe on pitt street. It might have changed these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Ell Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Papillio in Bruntsfield (Italian Restuarant), Spirit of Thai on Grindlay Street and Tex Mex 2 on Thistle Street are restaurants that have never once disappointed me. Visited the Caprice in Musselburgh on numerous occasions and again the food there has been fantastic. Indigo on Morrison Street does a mean curry. The above would be my favoured restaurants to attend when dining out. Only in my experience though. I'm sure there are many other restaurants in the city that I haven't tried which are excellent. Many people I know highly recommend dusit which I haven't tried despite me living on the same street as it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Have tried to book the Kitchin and Wishart's a couple of times but never been able to get a suitable time. Dying to check it out though. Having no luck with getting a reservation, Francis? Maybe you should give Paul Allen a call, I've heard he can get a table anywhere. Wishart is excellent, particularly their beetroot and horseradish macaroons. As usual, these threads tease out Kb's wheat from the chaff; I wouldn't be seen dead in half of the places suggested. I much prefer Lespace or Barcadia. I would have recommended Dorsia, but nobody eats there any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edin1874 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Girl at my work is a bit of a foody and made a special trip to Edinburgh to go to The Kitchen. Had to book weeks in advance and that was for lunch. Anyway, she loved it - the man himself was in that day and came out to speak to her too. If I was trying to eat and some ***** in whites started chatting to me I would tell him to ram it. I am paying to eat your food not for a chat. Get back to your hob you muppet. As for the best restaurant in Edinburgh. Simple. Any chippy that serves single fish with a few free chips when you are on your way home mangled.

I much prefer Lespace or Barcadia. I would have recommended Dorsia, but nobody eats there any more. I might have known you'd be all over this one, Bateman. It's simply because I refuse to go at times that might make me look cheap. There have also been times at Espace and Crayons when I have feared that I don't have a decent table and been on the verge of tears - until I have realised that I do, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave. I couldn't take that at Wishart's. There does seem to be a good few Texarcana sorts on this thread - at least the mud soup and chocolate arugula are outrageous there. Vittoria can't even do a good Milanese veal. It's not the best restauarant in the city, but Fishers' seafood is up there among the best. Would recommend that to anyone who likes their seafood.

The Plumed Horse lost it's michelin star which may be the reason it's closed down. One other restaurant I'd throw into the mix which I'd recommend is Wedgwoods.

browserchip Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Oloroso is worth a visit. http://www.oloroso.co.uk/index.html Oloroso was going in the right direction at the start but when I last visited around 6 months ago it was very poor. Food and especially service is nowhere near where it needs to be for the Michelin star they are trying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the Atrium's gone downhill - always used to be the best in the town. Quite partial to a chicken kebab from Topkapi myself...

redm Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Wedgwood is a good shout. Not sure if I'd suggest it was in the running for the very best restaurant in Edinburgh but it is cracking.

jambo121 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 The Plumed Horse has not closed and even though it has lost its star it is still an exceptional restaurant just maybe not as in vogue as the TV Chefs. Wedgewoods is well worth a visit and another to throw into the mix that is up there is Restaurant Mark Greenaway at 12 picardy Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboelite Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Don't often go out in Edinburgh, but I worked there for nine months this year. Used to get taken out "by the bank" (shower of pretentious arse-pieces) but the best place we went IMHO (and it is very H) was The Livingroom, which I think is on George St or thereabouts. Good food, service was decent. The kind of place I was glad I wasn't paying, if that's a measure of a restaurant... The Living Room isnt expensive in the slightest mate unless you were hammering the champagne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other restaurant I'd throw into the mix which I'd recommend is Wedgwoods. it lost it due to the front of house service so I am told not the food which when I have been has been good but not quite at Wishart's or Kitchen standards.

southside1874 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I think you have to go for the ones with the Michelin Stars. I also like Fishers on the Shore and Kebab Mahal on a good day. My favourite is driving over to Fife and booking into the Peat Inn for the night. You'll need about ?600 for the room, the meal and good drinks after your meal. http://www.thepeatinn.co.uk/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relais and Chateaux are brilliant. You should try Le Spinaker down by Montpellier in the South of France. I couldn't stop eating and luckily the bedroom is beside the restaurant because I had to lie down and sweat. I felt like Mr Creosote from the Monty Python sketch.
