Frommer's Review

This is the premier restaurant in the city's premier central hotel, with a well-earned star for superior cuisine and service from the widely respected Michelin Guide. You can sample the likes of pan-seared Scottish monkfish with saffron mussel broth, or perhaps venison loin with juniper jus, red cabbage, and black truffle mash. Dessert brings some rather exotic choices, such as mulled wine parfait with a cinnamon sauce, and a variety of sorbets or mature cheeses. Wines are excellent, if pricey, but so is the meal. A special treat while you're in Edinburgh.
