The Sunday Times
Claire Sawers was enchanted by a modern European bistro in a New Town basement, bankrolled by an unlikely “sugar daddy” in the form of Hollywood’s Joe Russo, director of Avengers and Captain America, a “hardcore food geek and Scotland fan” who fell in love with chef Sean Clark’s cooking upstairs at the Table.
Where the Table is a fine-dining restaurant with a £100 evening-only tasting menu (£110 on weekends), Under the Table is a bistro with mains for less than £20, open for lunch, dinner and Sunday roasts. Not only is it good value, Claire said, but “Clark and his team have come up with another marvel.”
“My onion tart — neat caramel coils of onion served on a frankly stupendous blob of whipped goat’s cheese, with a luxurious creaminess that’s giving me giddy flashbacks to meals upstairs.”
