review of Edinburgh restaurant Martin Wishart by Andy Hayler

Two six course tasting menus were priced at £80 and £85, plus a full vegetarian tasting menu on offer at £75, and at lunch there was a three course lunch at £32 as well as a la carte choices, which are priced at £85 for four courses.

The risotto itself had excellent texture and had been made with a lovely, rich chicken stock whose flavour permeated the rice nicely.

The scallops themselves had excellent inherent sweetness and were delicately cooked, the walnuts adding a contrasting texture and the subtle spices just lifting the flavour without dominating the dish (17/20).

The squid was tender and contrasted nicely with the silky meat, the earthy lentils and richness of the sauce providing an interesting set of flavours and textures (17/20).

The fish was precisely cooked and its flavour came through well, the crab lovely and delicate and the rice working well as a balancing texture (a strong 17/20).

Pascal Wyse reviews Restaurant Martin Wishart | Life and style | The ...

This is why the canapés at Martin Wishart struck a note of terror: a shot glass of something suspiciously similar arrived, alongside a haggis bonbon and a duck and pork rillettes lollipop.

My vegetarian friend had nearly as many choices as I had (though how they can charge the same price as the meaty option is a mystery), making for 17 possible savoury dishes and a pretty labour-intensive lunch menu.

Earlier, "mosaique" of confit chicken was a lovely, stained-glass window of soft chicken, smoked Orkney ham, foie gras and summer cabbage, though something more zingy than creamy walnut vinaigrette would have refreshed it more, especially with all the creamy textures of the meats.

There is a sense of real detail and care in everything that comes out of this kitchen, right down to the chocolates and jellies, but I'd be in more of a hurry to return if the price were lowered and the extras cut back.

The thing that really nagged me, though, was texture, with the meal overloaded with soft, creamed or puréed elements - "Posh slop," as one friend calls it - and I ended up longing to bite into something that would bite back.

If you’re going to spend big, spend it at this Michelin-starred marvel in Leith At a neighbouring table, a businessman has asked for ‘a plain slice of white bread’.

A slice of white is duly brought (Kingsmill, it ain’t), neatly presented under a beautiful crisp white napkin.

He clearly didn’t get the memo: nothing about this restaurant is ‘plain’.

Set down in Leith, Martin Wishart opened his flagship venue in 1999 and was well ahead of the curve when he gained his Michelin star just two years later.

Back then the now gentrified Shore area was just finding its feet, and while the area has continued to boom, Wishart has lost none of its appeal.
