Stuart Ralston, one of Edinburgh’s most successful restaurateurs, has struck gold again with this take on a Parisian wine bar. The cooking is very much in the bistro mould, fusing French classics with Scottish produce and a few Mediterranean touches. The chicken roulade is a great example of what to expect, a simple yet well-crafted dish showcasing high-quality produce. Come at lunchtime for the best value, where the set menu includes wine. The atmosphere is cosy yet lively, while downstairs you’ll find Vivien, the team’s speakeasy-style cocktail bar.
