Aurora, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Scotsman Food and Drink

Review analysis
food   menu   desserts  

Apparently the chef has come from Salt Cafe in Morningside and, as much as I love that place, the menu never quite draws me in.

The best of these was probably the lamb kefta (£9), which featured a lovely spiced pita bread topped with two large hunks of cumin-spiced and dense meat, then a layer of Greek yogurt, onion and finely chopped gherkin sauce and, on the side, a pot of harissa injected coleslaw.

The pork cheek and barley ravioli (£11) was also lovely, with three sturdy parcels of pale minced meat dunked into a golden chicken consommé speckled with carrot and celery mirepoix.

Served in a pool of butter, this clutch of five skin-on pebbles were smoked and scattered with dill, with a pot of fresh and sour kefir on the side for dipping.

Their other pudding choice – an icing sugar dusted chocolate fondant (£2.75) – didn’t have the desired runny centre, but I can be philosophical about that, since you can’t (metaphorically) expect to see the aurora borealis AND get an egg on top.

Casa Mara, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Scotsman Food and Drink

Treat your mum to Casa Mara's food this Mother's Day in Edinburgh, says Gaby Soutar.

According to the Casa Mara website’s About Me section, this Spanish and Catalan restaurant is owned by the eponymous Mara, who wants to recreate her mum’s home cooking.

Another main of pollastre amb prunes (£12.50) featured soft chicken thigh meat in a sweetly fruity sauce, with a lake’s worth of liquid.

These tootsies were served off the bone, so there were little flecks and shreds of meat and cartilage with white wine, tomatoes and onions, and a scoop of dinner lady mashed potato on the top.

In return, I hope one day to introduce Mara and her mummy to the joys of the Findus Crispy Pancake.

Ping On, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Scotsman Food and Drink

Review analysis
food  

In the Chinese New Year of the Dog, eat like a Labrador at Edinburgh's Ping On, says Gaby Soutar I like to think that, if I were a dog, I’d be an elegant saluki or Italian greyhound.

Although it usually looks dead from the outside, there were other diners on our Wednesday weekday lunch, munching their way through piles of prawn crackers, presented on a doily.

The “pork char siu yellow bean” (£8.30) was OK, but maybe the most neglected course, since it wasn’t that exciting, though there was a generous heap of sliced meat, peppers, onions and a glutinous sweet brown sauce.

For old time’s sake, we’d also gone for the sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style (£8.30), with its batter clad nodular nuggets of chook, pineapple chunks and peppers.

At least I can say that my labrador appetite has helped support an old monkey into the new year.
