At the risk of upsetting you....A.A.gill said much the same(even meal of the year) a few weeks ago in the Sunday Times.

Very nice, as you'd expect from a place that has the good taste not to serve warm bread and soft butter, both abominations in the eyes of the gastronomic gods!

Excellent review of an excellent restaurant. We've only been once (Edinburgh being a little far for regular visits) but I'd love to go again. Before visiting The Kitchin I'd never realised what a great combination haggis makes with foie gras.

Patrick, I think the menu in the photos is just in clear plastic binders. When we went they gave us freshly printed menus of what we'd actually eaten to take away (but they whisked them away to reprint them when I tried to point out a mistake, and then had to print them a third time because they'd corrected a mistake but not the one I'd spotted).

I love the idea of the marrow bone being split along its length, instead of across.

i don't think 150 for two is that bad, especially when the quality matches the price. i mean obvously it's pricey, but if i could swap this type of experience for all the average (and some quite frankly poor) meals i've had that come in at 60-100 for 2, i'd be happy

good write up simon, i keep thinking about it and being a bit put off by the prices, espec the wine too, but hey, if it's worth it then that's a different matter.

'Main courses nudge and often whiz past £30 as if it was a wheezy fat boy on a cross country run...'

That made me LOL. Excellent.

I tried to get in for lunch here a few weeks ago but they were fully booked. Went to Martin Wishart in the end which was great although if I'm ever back in E'burgh I really want to go here. Interesting to see service is only 10% here. I was surprised even more at Wishart that they didn't automatically add a service charge.

Is the menu laminated? Looks so in your pic.

So glad you loved it Simon. Kitchin is one of my favorite places in the world. Food so very, very good and no pomposity.

Well that sounds ever so suitable to expunge my long held but obviously erroneous view that Scotland has no great food, and is entrenched in the 1950s (well, it was when we went to Aviemore about 5 years ago).

And I was delighted to see that you got some Jamon along the way! Ole!

Love this review. Thanks, Simon...
