NADAIR

A brilliant new restaurant for Edinburgh. I was there for the first time yesterday, the tasting menu and matched wines were outstanding as well as being reasonably priced. The food was delicious and the wine pairings were spot on. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. It was great to see the restaurant was busy. I can't wait to go back.

I have dined at this restaurant more than three times since it opened in August 2024, and I have never been disappointed. Each visit is a unique experience, as the kitchen skillfully prepares each dish, ensuring that a chicken tastes like chicken, a fish tastes like fish, and a duck tastes like duck. This may sound peculiar, but it reflects the challenge of cooking: to honour the essence of each ingredient while adding harmonious dimensions that elevate the dish without overwhelming it—like an orchestra rather than a parade. The menu changes frequently, which means that each visit offers an invitation to explore new culinary creations. During my latest meal, I photographed the dishes: cod, cheese, cherry sorbet, and a delightful honey mousse (though I’m unsure of the exact name). The cod was perfectly cooked, free of any unpleasant fishiness, and paired beautifully with slow-cooked beans and courgette, creating a refreshing combination. The Scottish cheese was a delightful surprise, balancing rich and creamy flavours without being heavy, leaving you wanting more—an after-meal treat that feels anything but redundant. The sorbet, perfectly suited to the July-August season, provided a refreshing contrast to the dark chocolate. The wine selection is thoughtfully curated, and the staffs are always eager to share their expertise on the offerings. My wife, my sister, and I have consistently received exceptional hospitality, which showcases the dedication of the kitchen and front-of-house teams—from sourcing the ingredients to presenting them on our plates. While I hesitate to overuse the term "delicious," I believe that the experiences I’ve shared, along with the accompanying photographs, serve as a strong recommendation for this restaurant. The lunch course is quite decent in terms of value and quality. £25 for 2 courses £30 for 3 courses. While the dinner may appear slightly pricier, £65 for 5 courses, for such exquisite delicacies are very reasonable. You won't find food of this calibre at such a price in Edinburgh. The service certainly merits higher recognition as well.

This restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is amazing—fresh ingredients, creative flavors, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, with a simple yet elegant décor that feels just right. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel truly welcome. A perfect spot for a memorable dining experience!

Lovely place, minimalist atmosphere, and dishes are unbelievably tasty, from starters to desserts! Also very good wine is served!👌🏻 Marcus and Sarah are great people, and they took care of us. Everything was delicious and really fresh, in the end, their food talks for itself, it is made with lots of love ,we were very happy!

NADAIR is simply extraordinary! The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy and makes dining such a pleasure. We had the three course meal option and everything was beyond delish! It was fresh, tasty, and enough to fill the belly without feeling overstuffed. The menu changes frequently, so every time one goes it can be like their first time! The service was impeccable and the waiters have this gift of making everyone feel like they belong and are welcomed. It felt very much like home. Highly highly recommend it to anyone in Edinburgh.

Excellent Scandi Scottish menu. £25 for 2 course lunch, £30 for 3 courses. Apparently menu changes frequently to account for what is available in markets and what has been foraged. My wife thought the bread was exquisite....like bread you could buy in Irish markets.

Highly recommended. The is now my most favorite cuisine in Edinburgh. All dished were extremely delicious. The chef could extract the melt-in-your-mouth flavor from the simple ingredient. The 3-course launch menu now is just 30 pounds which is a very good value at the moment. The service is great, attentive, friendly, and things :) The place is clean and cosy tho the table is a little bit too small. A good wine selection as well.

Had a delicious lunch and already planning when to return for dinner service! Everything was fresh, interesting and great to eat. Loved the wine selection and the homemade pine limoncello is outstanding (wish they sold it by the bottle so we could take some home!). Marcus really looked after us - great chat and energy without being intrusive, and presented everything beautifully. The lunch menu is a real bargain for the quality on offer. Get along here before it starts packing out soon! It's worth also noting that the menu changes up regularly as they have a forager come in twice a week & they alter the menu depending on what's available - what a fabulous idea!
