La Garrigue

Frommer's Review

The chef and proprietor of La Garrigue, Jean Michel Gauffre, hails from the southern French region of Languedoc and he attempts to re-create the fresh and rustic cooking of his home here in Edinburgh. The feeling of the dining room is casual but smart, with some stylish handmade furniture and almost naïve paintings on the wall. The menu might feature a hearty roast or cassoulet (stew) with beans and meat as well as a more delicate pan-fried filet of bream. The wines are from southern France, too. Often, chef Gauffre will come in the dining room to see how it is going and have a friendly chat. He knows the small touches go a long way.
