Do a review on this thread after you've been - friends say the service is top notch there. Really want to go but we're belt tightening hugely so won't be splurging any time soon, sadly. Our last anniversary was a Vietnamese restaurant for about a tenth of the price! But still nicer than the Witchery.......

I'm wondering about going to Martin Wishart.
I've been to his restaurant at Cameron House, albeit a long time ago and the service was horribly snooty.
My friend and I who went to The Kitchin ten times, now won't go back,but we'd like somewhere similar but definitely not snooty!

My top choices:
Aizle
Fhior
Timberyard
The Kitchin
Lots of the others are fine but perhaps not as special as you are looking for. Maki & ramen is brilliant - but not fine dining. Definitely not the Witchery. Food is overpriced. Bonnie and Wild or the Pitt for an informal second night.
have so many to visit it's a good excuse to book another trip!Saltyandvinegar · 02/04/2022 12:48

Had another lovely meal at Wedgwood.
Felt the same. Read the trip advisor reviews after and it seems they can be a bit rude on occasion 🤣🤣🤣 I think anyone going should go with an open mind.

Rhubarb at Prestonfield is much better (although a little way out of town).
We had a fabulous special meal there last summer. Really good service - quite posh (escorted to your table by blokes in kilts) but not at all snooty. I had the most amazing featherblade of beef.

Another vote for Martin Wishart in Leith

DH was part of a group performing at the Fringe s few years running. I helped with leaflets and general moral support in return to a visit to Martin Wishart. Never had a disappointing meal there, either in spite of the build up each year.
