Cail Bruich

3 Best Day Trips From Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"A longstanding family-run restaurant beside the Botanical Gardens, Cail Bruich does contemporary cuisine without straying too far from Scottish tradition. Led by chef Chris Charalambous, the tasting menu here journeys through Scotland’s bounty: produce, including a crop from the restaurant's backyard garden, is delicately prepared alongside meats and seafood to honor the country’s vast natural resources. In the winter, you may prefer a gamey dish of partridge plated with sour pumpkin, chicory, foie gras, and pear; or Goosnargh duck with carrot, mushroom, and bread sauce. The bar serves its own selection of bites, like ox tongue and a foie donut, or black pudding with smoked-beetroot ketchup." - Danielle Bernabe
