Summary
“A super find in Edinburgh”, set where New Town and Canonmills meet; from the “great deal at lunch” to the innovative use of Scottish produce, the food – by ex-Harvey Nicks Forth Floor Restaurant chef Maciek Szymij – is “always A1”.
Summary
“An exceptional value set lunch” is a key feature at this popular fixture between New Town and Canonmills, whose “well-cooked and thought-out” local food, by Maciek Szymij, ex-of Harvey Nichol’s Fourth Floor restaurant, is “more than expected for the simple bistro ambience”. It has just opened a sibling in the West End too (Otro, 22 Coates Crescent, EH3).
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).

New Chapter Restaurant Diner Reviews
"It's a lovely neighbourhood joint, good fish and seasonal ingredients. Staff are friendly...there is a marginally dingy basement, so avoid that when you book, but otherwise it's just the kind of place you want to be 5 minutes walk around the corner from your house. "
