Harden's survey result
Summary
“Get the best seats in the place” (at the back, which offers “beautiful views” of the castle) to make the most of a visit to this city-centre staple, also turning out “enjoyable” cuisine of a modern European bent.
Summary
“Get the best seats in the place” (at the back, which offers “beautiful views” of the castle) to make the most of a visit to this city-centre staple, also turning out “enjoyable” cuisine of a modern European bent.
Summary
“Despite the name, right in the city centre near the main tourist drag” – this “decent” staple primarily trades on its “fun” ambience, and visits can be further elevated by bagging one of the castle-view tables.
Summary
“Extra marks for the ambience if you can get one of the tables with unbeatable views over the castle” at this “fun and lively” (but “very noisy”) fixture – a “reliable” destination for “great tasting” Scottish food.
For 30 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).
