"Aurora, Leith. Chef and owner Kamil opened this modern European eatery on Great Junction Street in 2018. This is high-end restaurant food, in a very relaxed and homely setting.The menu is a delight of flavour combinations, such as pigeon breast with wild mushroom and bulgur wheat cake, pickled beetroot, and pear. Or go for the reinvention of haggis, neeps & tatties in bon-bon form.Aurora is open for weekend brunch as well - and their full Scottish breakfast is highly recommended.Did I mention it’s a total bargain too? Book now, Aurora is going places."

Ate here today after seeing a vegan social media post. Was phenomenal! Every course was amazing, thoughtfully presented and delicious. As a vegan there was no compromise, the main even had juicy marbles soy protein! It had everything - artichoke, parsnip, sunflower seeds, sage leaves… all my favourite flavours. Cheeseboard was the best I have ever had, EVER! Petit four was perfect. Can’t wait to go back and see the next menu. Staff were amazing and on the ball. Great value lunch, don’t know if my husband could manage the dinner as we were so full. I will certainly be back to try.

SEASONAL #TASTING MENU 🔝 📍 Edinburgh, Scotland ⭐️ 5/5 💸 £££ 🍴We visited Edinburgh this past weekend, and @auroraedinburgh was the highlight of the trip! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Aurora ranks as one of the best fine dining experiences on my list. We were welcomed by a truly intimate atmosphere (only 6 tables, so make sure you book in advance!) and explored a seasonal tasting menu of surprising and elegant Modern European cuisine. ✨ The Tasting menu is available for £65 per person, from Friday to Monday, and it's 100% worth it! Ours included a total of 5 courses + some cute extras. I'm not going to explain all of them, but our favorites were the first course (scallop / chipotle / cactus / chapulines), the third course (ravioli / vegan ricotta / beetroot / parsley / horseradish), and the sixth course (pumpkin / coffee / pecans / rum), PLUS, of course, the bread 🍞 Honestly, we'll come back!!!

Very nice place with fine dining. We went there to celebrate my partner birthday. I like new flavours, and there I have meet plenty of superb combinations! Both meaty and vegan option was amazing. We had occasion to try spring menu. Have a look at attached pictures how great these was presented! Each dish was well explained and service very polite and wonder full! I definitely recommend checking out!

Really enjoyable local fine dining restaurant in Leith. Nice relaxed vibe with clean cut decor, and effective and friendly service from the staff. Well cooked and thoughtful food on a tasting menu basis for the dinner menu when we visited. Nice variety of courses and a good range of wines to have either by the bottle or the glass. Worth a visit if you’re after a quality dining experience but with a not over-fussy approach to service. We’ll be back again for another visit in the future.

A nice meal yet slightly disappointing in the flavours and presentation at the price point. Some of the courses were really good and surprising, but others fell really flat sadly.

Really good meal but somehow misses that final cutting edge. We tried the new summer tasting menu, dishes were good. Portions need to be better though, for the price I found them to be a bit meagre. Non alcoholic pairing option a bit hit and miss. Servers extremely attentive which is appreciated.

Myself and my two friends went for the first time last night. Cannot recommend enough!!! The food was fantastic the staff were fantastic and the relaxed ambience was just perfect. Highly recommend to add the cheese course (delicious) best I have had! The wine pairing was perfect. Thoroughly enjoyable evening and will definitely be back. Happy customers. 😊

Amazing meal here. Went for the full menu with matching wines which I highly recommend. Also added cocktails and cheese which we're also all great👌🏼At the high end for price but it's fully worth it as everything is executed perfectly 🙏🏼
