78 St. Vincent

Description:

• Sophisticated and urbane, the decor here has a rich art nouveau-esque Parisian feel with a marble staircase, gorgeous red velvet curtains and lots of wrought-iron and oak. The menu veers towards contemporary Scottish with a slight French influence, combining fresh local produce with continental flair. Although there are no big surprises on the menu, classic recipes are beautifully executed, well-presented and come in satisfying portions. A big mural by Donald McLeod of Icarus and some men in kilts provides a conversational topic when you tire of discussing how delicious the food is.
