Avery Restaurant

We had the pleasure of visiting Avery in SF and couldn’t miss the chance to experience it again in Edinburgh, and it was absolutely spectacular! Every single dish was mind-blowingly delicious, crafted with so much care and creativity. The service was impeccable, making us feel welcomed and truly cared for. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip to Scotland and the best way to celebrate me and my husbands tenth anniversary. Thank you chef Rodney and the crew for such a delightful night!

A must try, great new addition to the Edinburgh fine dinning scene. I was there for the first time yesterday, it was a fabulous evening. The menu was unusual and gave little away about the delightful food that was to follow. The food tasted absolutely delicious and was well and interestingly presented. The paired wines were also well matched. I would highly recommend and I cannot wait to return.

Food and service are both wonderful some exceptional cooking, however payment is in advance and my wife was ill so I paid for two to dine when there was only me! So it was very expensive. I do think they need to think about these situations I find it unacceptable to pay for something which I don’t get. I understand the pressures restaurants are under for unwarranted cancellations but this feels wrong for the customer.

My wife and I (from Tampa Bay, FL) spent the week in Edinburgh last week celebrating her birthday and went to many fine restaurants. The best restaurant hands down was Avery. The food, the presentation, the wine, the service, the stories - deserves a Michelin star for sure! Exhilarating experience! We plan to come back to Edinburgh many times in the future to try more restaurants but the one we plan to come back to on every visit will be Avery! Wishing you all huge success going forward!

Absolutely delicious from start to finish. Each dish was delicious. Service was informative and a the owner really knew how to look after his guests.

Have been 3 times now. Once for a private event. The food and wine are both amazing. Elevated beyond a level of anything else in Scotland but still with a simplicity and honesty that does not pile on too many ingredients or techniques just for the sake of “gastronomy”. There is a deep respect for the ingredients and for tradition, like the ham for an amuse being brought in from an uncle’s farm. Chef Rodney is on the floor a lot and is happy to explain everything including why he loves pairing food with champagne and sake. Excellent service. And the menu has changed significantly every time so always something new to try. The decor is cozy and minimalist / clean but will be updated after planning permission and a refurb. Highly recommended and good value for what it is.

We had an amazing meal at Avery, it is such an exciting addition to Edinburgh's restaurant scene. We loved the tortellini in brodo and cheese tart in particular, and the service was spot-on. Will definitely be coming back.

The very best dining experience I’ve had in years: Avery is absolutely worthy of a Michelin star, maybe two. Chef Wages creates magic with every one of about a dozen dishes, cleverly and successfully blending flavours and textures; there wasn’t a single plate I wouldn’t have again, and the accompanying broths and gravies were among the best I have ever tasted. The wine pairings were excellent - Jason matched wines I wouldn’t have known or even thought to choose - complementing each of the dishes. He was also flexible about our preferences. For each course and with each wine, we were lucky enough to have Jason and Chef Wages come to the table to introduce the plate and the wine, and to answer questions. Avery deserves to have a queue out of the door, I feel lucky to have been able to get a table. It isn’t cheap but it is good value and you won’t regret it.
