This was our second time in the restaurant and did not disappoint.There’s a very relaxed atmosphere The staff are lovely and there’s no sense of rush.You are made to feel very welcome..The only thing I wasn’t so keen on was the TV screen showing football games distracted our football mad family from entering into any other conversation!This is not a criticism of the restaurant as I knew what to expect before we went.We will be back.

An oasis of France in a city centre. French cooking, French amity with style but no snobbery. We have been going for over 20 years and love seeing new faces, fleeing jaded junk, finally to find the real French touch. I've been passed and wanted only a sandwich and immediately was given a delightful plate of real food. And we've taken parties of 8, in a private room - just sizzling. Parfait!

This is not a cheap option for lunch, but for a special occasion or treat, it is one of my favourite places in Edinburgh. The food, service and ambience are consistently exceptional. Definitely need to book in advance. The phone was busy all lunchtime with people looking for a table that night but they were fully booked.
