Harden's survey result
Summary
A short train-ride from Edinburgh, this cosy harbour-side bistro has been run by chef/patron Logan Thorburn since 2006 and serves a traditional-ish menu which focuses on fish and seafood, but not to the exclusion of all else. Struggles with staffing issues and Covid-19 kept the restaurant closed in September and October 2021, but reopening subject to finding the necessary staff is heralded on their facebook page from November 2021.
Summary
“Always a treat” – a tiny, informal seafood bistro, in a “lovely location” near the harbour, whose creative cooking – from a limited menu – is a real find in these parts and where they send out interesting little shots (a Virgin Mary or rhubarb smoothie, say) to refresh the palate between courses.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
