Fhior

One of the best tasting menus we’ve ever been to. The food was delicious and perfectly crafted with local ingredients. The service, including our server and the sommelier were a pleasure to talk to. They talked us through each pairing and made the experience delightful. We will definitely be back whenever we’re in the area. Side note: they also won the best of Scotland this year and have won many awards since being open. Kudos and congrats again!

My friend and I got an Itison voucher for lunch and had a great time. All the staff we met were lovely and so helpful. The food itself was delicious too! I appreciated that my dietary preferences were taken into account and that the menu gave us a chance to try ingredients we hadn't even heard of before. Definitely would recommend this place for a nice tasting lunch!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Fhior. Even before the meal, which to be honest has been the best I've had in Scotland (including my last visit in Scotland which involved a tasting menu at a Michelin star restaurant), they were nothing but kind and extremely accommodating. Due to a work emergency we requested a change in time - they were able to make it work beautifully. The decor is lovely. Simple, elegant, warm. The food was superb and gorgeously presented. Each wine pairing was spot on. There's no question the next go around Fhior will go from Michelin guide to Michelin star. I'll be back next time! Slainte.

An amazing dining experience. We had the 10 course tasting menu and everything was cooked to perfection. I've went to a a number of Michelin rated places and I can say that this is definitely in my top 3 places, and the best meal I've had in my multiple visits to Edinburgh. It's very hard to choose a favourite dish as each one was a hit - flavourful and very well balanced. The service was impeccable and very friendly, and we even got a lovely recommendations for local coffee and pubs. I love the punny culinary artwork, and the ambiance was lovely, warm and welcoming. I would definitely come back if I visit Edinburgh again.

We got the four course lunch tasting here and had an absolutely lovely time. Each dish was delicious, perfectly balanced with bold textures and flavors. The cocktails were also excellent and the bread (+ butter) was some of the best I’ve ever had. The portioning was fine for a lunch tasting. It won’t stuff you but it won’t leave you hungry. For 40 pounds and considering the quality of the food, it’s an steal. Service was excellent. Overall, this definitely compares to some of the best tasting experiences I’ve had anywhere. Highly, highly recommended to anyone looking for elevated Scottish cuisine that won’t break the bank.

Reunited date with a friend. Had the 4 course tasting menu. Started with pear cocktails, very delicious. Then had some little nibbles, one was trout roe and the other was a hash brown with a mouse on top. We also had fresh bread. Both lovely. For starters had a cured trout, then asparagus dish. Our main was the duck. It was amazing and very generous! Dessert was in season fresh strawberries with chocolate. Great value! Highly recommend. Service was impeccable, felt really well looked after.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed by our experience at Fhior. We had high expectations as the reviews have all been very positive. However, we thought the food really missed the mark. When we attended there was a guest chef and the menu offered was all seafood. We found most of the fish was not cooked well. Particularly, the squid spaghetti was chunky and chewy, and the squid ragu was underwhelming in flavour. The turbot was overcooked and rubbery. Throughout the meal, there was not a good balance of flavour and texture. I struggled to get through the full menu. The dessert courses were a step up from the mains, but overall, it was very disappointing. The sommelier had good knowledge and managed to do a great job pairing wines. The staff were very attentive and engaging. It was a shame they were let down by the food. Also, we thought the decor of the restaurant could do with improvement.

We had the new degustation menu and it was absolutely delicious. Every course had lovely surprises of taste or texture - or both - and left us feeling comfortable. Great wine list, which suited us better than the matched wines - though they looked good too. The staff really made a critical contribution - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly. What a great night.
