Clark and Lake Charcuterie and Bar - raclette or your life ...
food drinks
Amy and I headed to Clark and Lake the last night in January to talk about an upcoming post and get in on there special January raclette offer (sorry guys – you missed it).
The main unit is straight through the second door.
The long room that is Clark and Lake goes in a uncluttered wood, white and stone with cosy leather seats along the walls.
We ordered a Crianza, raclette – which comes with lovely potatoes, charcuterie board and, because a table next to us had it and it smelled lush, the pork and beef meatballs.
To get the courage we needed to go out into the cold again we finished witha small glass of Fleurie and shared three truffles (white, milk and dark) which came served on salted caramel sauce.
CLARK AND LAKE - NEW CHARCUTERIE AND BAR OPENS IN ...
food drinks
A new charcuterie and bar, Clark Lake, has opened in Tollcross, Edinburgh, offering the best in meats, cheese, wine and beer from across Europe.
With a menu including a choice of sharing platters with meats and cheeses from Spain, France, Italy as well as across the UK, the relaxed and informal setting will be a welcome addition to what is becoming a vibrant scene around Tollcross and Bruntsfield.
Customers at Clark Lake can either choose from a Spanish, Italian or British board of meats and cheeses served with breads, crackers, oat cakes and chutney or pick their own selection of their choosing from the extensive range on offer.
The cheese selection includes Baron Bigood Brie (England), Valdeon (Spain), Ossau Iraty (France) and Gorgonzola (Italy) with the meats including Monroyo Serrano Ham, Carne Salata, Cornish Chorizo and Coppa Trentina amongst others.
We’ve had a fantastic opening week with customers really enjoying picking their own sharing platters of meats and cheeses, sampling our small plates and of course, the wines and beers.

Clark and Lake (8 Gillespie Place, Edinburgh) | The List
drinks food
A European-inspired wine bar serving cheese and charcuterie platters, raclette and other small dishes, with independent small producers prominent.
You can’t go wrong with cheese, especially when it’s all gooey and melty and poured over sauté potatoes.
Tollcross newcomer Clark and Lake describes itself as a charcuterie and bar, and while the range of meat is indeed interesting – including Trealy Farm’s blood, red wine and chocolate salami – cheese this good definitely deserves equal billing.
The overall concept is simple: create your own grazing board by selecting from around 20 meats and cheeses, all available in individual portions; or plump for their pre-selected Spanish, Italian or British boards; then add a couple of small plates (don’t miss the cauliflower frittelle).
For drinks, there’s a well thought-through wine list, with everything available by the glass or carafe, or a neat selection of crafty, culty beers.

Get your raclette at the lovely Clark and Lake, says Gaby Soutar This place is like me in any childhood PE class – always last to be picked.
Although it opened just before the festival last year, I skipped visiting Clark and Lake, since they serve mainly wine, cheese and charcuterie, without a lot of actual cooking going on.
We’d also gone for a couple of deep fried nibbly bits including a bowlful of salty fried olives (£5), which were stuffed with anchovy and had a great Panko-ish crumbly armour.
This vino also went well with their roughly textured smoked mackerel pâté with toast (£6), though this soon-to-be neglected offering felt a bit weekday packed lunch-ish compared to all the deep fried and cheesy treats.
The triple scoop helping of dairy-free chocolate sorbet (£5) was an intense cocoa hit, and we’d also gone for a helping of the smooth coconut ice-cream (£5), which was riddled with bits of the desiccated stuff.
