Harden's survey result
Summary
“Off the scale for the quality you receive”, say fans of Paul & Lisa Wedgwood’s fixture, which first opened in a basement on the Royal Mile in 2007. Scottish sourcing is a key feature of the menus: both the à la carte, or also the more culinarily exotic tasting menu which provides a ‘Wee Tour of Scotland’ in nine-to-ten courses for £85: dishes such as Sea Trout, new potato, peppers, sea vegetables, and cherry tomato or Avon valley roe deer loin, black pudding & bone marrow, neeps, cabbage, and mushrooms.
Summary
“A stalwart in Edinburgh and one we always gravitate to” – Paul & Lisa Wedgwood’s basement on the Royal Mile is “is a conveniently located gem right in the middle of Edinburgh”. All reports attest to its “brilliant attention to detail”. “Paul is a passionate forager and you can always find something really interesting that you want to know more about on your plate” – and his seasonally changing menus are “beautifully sourced” and “excellent”. There’s a “great selection of wine by the glass as well as the bottle” too.
Summary
Paul and Lisa Wedgwood’s basement on the Royal Mile again wins consistent praise this year for its “very good” cuisine, which provides a good trade off between its level of ambition and its relative affordability. There’s a seasonally changing à la carte menu, or you can opt for the ‘Wee Tour of Scotland’ tasting menu at £80 per person.
Summary
Celebrating its fifteenth year, Paul & Lisa Wedgwood’s basement restaurant is on (and partly under) the Royal Mile. Tastefully decorated, it wins strong all-round praise, especially for its competitively priced cuisine (there is a tasting menu, but also a seasonally changing à la carte option with a fair amount of choice).
For 34 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).
