“French romantic at its best… I felt transported 500 miles south” – Neil Forbes’s “intimate brasserie” is a long-term fixture of the New Town, and wins glowing all-round praise for its “lovely cosy atmosphere” and “delicious” food that’s “always consistent”, too.

“Classic Gallic charm and good French cooking” are found in spades at Neil Forbes’s “small and intimate” (if perhaps “cramped”) bistro “tucked away in one of Edinburgh’s quieter streets”. “A perfect treat” that’s been a feature of the New Town for over 20 years.

“Tucked away like a touch of Paris in the ‘Athens of the North’” – Neil Forbes’s “very Gallic” brasserie in the New Town “does what it does with panache”: “simple and effective” dishes are “helpfully” served in a “romantic” setting, and “all at very reasonable prices”.

"Just hit it unlucky - there were so many LOUD tables, that we struggled to hear ourselves. But the food was good as usual."
