Home - Karen's Unicorn

The goal of Cantonese cooking is to preserve the food’s original essence: it is enhanced by the cooking process.

It’s a subtle yet intense cuisine with an array of flavours and a range of cooking techniques.

Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s city centre, Karen’s Unicorn is a restaurant serving authentic, traditional Chinese cuisine.

The food we serve at our restaurant is as creative as our name – which has tempted more than a few diners into our doors.

These dishes are examples of our delicious Chinese cuisine combined with the wonderful natural resources available in Scotland.

Metropolitain 4 Picardy Place, New Town, 0131 556 6629, £16 (lunch/dinner) The arrival of Metropolitain marks a revival for the G1 Group’s Picardy Place venue, with new tenants running the ground floor restaurant, bar and handful of hotel rooms, though not the popular downstairs GHQ nightclub.

A bright, light café with a long, blond wooden communal table dominating the ground floor space, the sit-in menu has snacky items including a crab and lemon tart and ‘toasts’ with toppings such as ham hock and lentils.

Nick’s 168 Hyndland Road, West End, 0141 357 6336, nickswestend.com, £8 (lunch/bar menu) / £16 (dinner) As the appeal of Byres Road hotspots such as Ashton Lane pales for the West End’s thirty- and forty-somethings, they seem to have fallen upon new arrival Nick’s in their droves.

Decked out in undressed wood and bare brick, this replacement for the odd hairdresser-café affair Eden brands itself as an Italian kitchen and bar, serving contemporary styled food across a wide range of genres from breakfast to bar food to to daily specials and a main menu featuring well-dressed pasta dishes, salads and burgers.

Simple but smart in its decor, the credentials of the taverna lie in a menu which - at least for now - pushes out beyond the standard Greek roll-call of calamari, dips and dolmades with dishes such as avgolemono (egg and lemon soup) and afelia (marinated pork with coriander seeds).

Review analysis
food  

Elegant New Town eatery honours its Chinese culinary roots while striving for quality modern cuisine.

Situated at a rather happening little crossroads in the New Town, Karen’s Unicorn strives to exceed expectations from the get go.

The intense flavour of the tender roast meat is perfectly complimented with honeyed citrus liquor.

Once again, the chef’s sympathy with the ingredients ensures the clean taste of the sea endures and is nicely matched by crunchy greens and lotus root.

Topped with candyfloss and floating in a light syrup sauce, the brittle golden orbs crack apart to reveal an intense banana purée within.
