Review: Grain Store, Edinburgh
food
The restaurant is on the upper level of 30 Victoria Street, just up from the Grassmarket area of the city.
Having built up a loyal clientele over the years, the restaurant doesn’t advertise or seek the limelight like other places.
I clock that some of Paul’s photo-sculpture artwork is adorning the old stone walls.
Immaculate service and romantic surroundings are always matched with superb food.
Until next time, old friend.
The Grain Store, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Telegraph
menu staff location food value
The restaurant that concerns us today is The Grain Store in Edinburgh, and not – let me emphasise that: NOT – the Grain Store opened recently in King’s Cross by the feted French chef, Bruno Loubet.
It is a bold space loosely resembling a weirdly luxurious medieval monastic cell decorated by some Kelly Hoppen of early Victorian Britain (possibly one into homoerotica, given the wildly incongruous image, next to the clock, of a man crouching athletically).
After outstanding bread, and over a lovely, fruity New Zealand sauvignon blanc house wine from a helpful, chatty list, my friend kicked off with seared mackerel with piccalilli.
A generous disc of that braised roe deer came wrapped in a vine leaf with beetroot, celeriac and a ring of crushed raspberries, which worked surprisingly well with the prince of red meats – a lovely, gentle, coherent amalgam of flavours, and worth the price of the set lunch on its own.
A delight after a brief stroll from around the corner, in other words, but possibly a disappointment to those who lose their bearings in the King’s Cross area, and find themselves dining some 400 miles from the Grain Store of their choice.

food
Full-bodied Scottish flavours abound in this atmospheric Old Town eatery.
The 2017/18 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+ ).
A main of pan-seared and roasted chicken with foie gras butter also packs a punch and is perfectly complemented by a robust glass of red.
To finish, there’s a novel take on crème brûlée, free-standing atop poached rhubarb and red berries.
Those seeking sustenance in the afternoon should take note of the bargain three course lunch menu.

Restaurant and takeaway open noon-11pm every day, pizza from £10 When this restaurant opened four years ago it sent out a clear message that on Edinburgh's touristy Royal Mile you could still find seriously good restaurants with seriously interesting menus.
Tues-Sun noon-2pm, 5pm-11pm, Fri and Sat until 11.30pm, Sun 5pm-11pm, average main £15 When eating out in Edinburgh it's not unreasonable to expect the very best Scottish meat and fish.

Mon-Sat noon-3pm, 6pm-11pm, Sun noon-11pm, average main £15 This small restaurant has been satisfying sushi cravings for as long as I can remember but as its popularity has risen so has the competition for seats.
