Best Edinburgh Pre Theatre Menus - Little Black Book Edinburgh

Review analysis
food   menu   ambience   location   drinks  

Near: The Assembly Rooms, New Town Theatre, Ross Open Air Theatre Established in 2013, Field is still somewhat of a new kid on the block on the Edinburgh restaurant scene, but being recommended in the Michelin guide three years running doesn’t happen by chance.

Field’s pre-theatre menu is simple but full of finesse, with focus on Scottish ingredients like mackerel fillet, and is an utter steal at two courses for £13.95 or three Courses for £16.95.

Because it’s placed part way up the Lothian Road this restaurant couldn’t be more perfectly situated for a pre-theatre supper – it overlooks the Usher Hall and is a stone’s throw from the Lyceum and Traverse theatres.

Near: The Assembly Rooms, New Town Theatre, Ross Open Air Theatre We would say that Bia Bistrot, run by husband and wife team Roisin & Matthias Llorente, is a hidden gem, but because of critical and public acclaim their fame has spread far beyond the restaurant’s Morningside location.

Situated at the top of Leith Walk, Pomegranate is a vibrant Middle Eastern restaurant serving a pre-theatre menu of 3 mezze dishes for £13.20.

Bia Bistrot (19 Colinton Road, Edinburgh) | The List

Review analysis
food  

Year on year this creative neighbourhood bistro punches well above its weight while remaining loyal to many local suppliers.

Now in its eighth year, plaudits continue to amass for the clever, satisfying dining produced by chef-owners Roisin & Matthias Llorente.

The menu changes regularly, supplemented by daily specials, reflecting what's in season.

To start, roasted bone marrow that glistens on toasted sourdough is cause for appreciation, while a tangy beetroot carpaccio is both jewel-like on the plate and refreshing on the palate.

A 28-day aged steak is solidly familiar bistro territory, but how often does roasted partridge or braised Orkney brisket appear on menus around town?

According to Trip Advisor, Edinburgh has almost 2,000 restaurants listed on its site, with recommendations and user reviews for each.

Located in the city’s west end, F&C was lauded for its innovative menu which features exciting Scottish ingredients such as Slow Cooked Pig Cheek, North Sea Hake and Monkfish all cooked with a modern flair that left users singing the kitchen team’s praises.

Described by one user as the sort of versatile place to go no matter if you are “wishing to celebrate something special, meet up which chums for lunch” or simply “treat yourself”, the restaurant’s charming interior – think open brick work, plants and Berwick Tweed – was also a big hit with reviewers.

Popular with users who were looking to enjoy fine dining during their stay in the capital, Number One is considered to be one of the city’s top restaurants and for good reason.

Scotland’s 2015 “Best Fine Dining Award” winner has 725 reviews, with 81 per cent of those visiting this charming little restaurant have rated it as “excellent”.

Review analysis
food  

The 'Bia' element of the name is the Gaelic for food, the 'Bistrot' part more self-evident, and it's the winning setting for the cooking of husband-and-wife team Roisin and Matthias Llorente.

Their Irish/Scottish and French/Spanish backgrounds are apparent in well-crafted and satisfying food in a charming and easy-going environment with wooden tables and smart leather seats.
