Vinette Edinburgh

Had a brilliant evening at Vinette. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, with a lovely interior that feels cosy and stylish - lovely table in the main restaurant with a view to the open kitchen. The food was excellent from start to finish. The snacks of pigs head croquettes, smoked trout roe/ cream cheese / crisps and chevre, honey & walnut were superb - light and delicious.  The trout ceviche was beautifully served, fresh and full of flavour, the ham hock terrine was the best ever - rich and beautifully done, and both the lamb rump and monkfish were cooked perfectly - still thinking about the lamb jus and pesto - fantastic flavour!  The Paris-Brest with rhubarb was a standout dessert and a great way to finish the meal. A special thank you to Elle and Robyn, who were so friendly & attentive throughout the evening. They really helped make our night feel special (and a shout-out to Ben too 😉!) It’s clear the kitchen brigade are all super-talented too! Great buzz and fab atmosphere- busy busy. Looking forward to coming back soon. 🩷

An absolutely fantastic meal was enjoyed whilst in Edinburgh @vinette_edinburgh - the food was superb, check out the beautiful fish, venison tartare and chicken, not to mention their freshly cooked bread rolls. An absolute dining highlight. We also secured a walk in, which was greatly appreciated: the venue connects to a bar there called Vivien. You can have a drink before dining

Monkfish was very good. Venison tartare was nice, albeit very small in portion. Dessert was mediocre. Music was loud and tables were close to one another, so people started to raise their voice when talking (after a drink or two). The restaurant ambience was neither a noisy pub nor a casual French bistro, and was stuck in between. The restaurant was split into 3 sections based on floor layout and was making it hard to get the attention of the server to send the bill for payment.

A really excellent place for dinner with well executed dishes done by an great team of chefs. The toasted bread with butter infused with chicken fat was a terrific way to start and the terrine, checked hearts, roulad, burger and monk fish were all delicious. Cosy and friendly with nice drinks selection.

The home made bread tastes very good. The duck heart was amazing. If there was a bit fresh lemon juice or pomegranate vinaigrette as finishing touches, the dish would taste even lighter. The waitress didn’t ask how we like our steak. My steak came well done. I was shocked. But the quality and taste of the steak were very good. I would definitely come for another meal.
