From reservations to table service, knowledge about the dishes that our waiter had, a really good experience. From the starters, the crab and the mushroom arancini were the stars. Mains - two of us had the halibut and loved it. Two had the venison and enjoyed it, but both were envious of my duck. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ Exceptional oysters and outstanding service We had a fantastic dinner at the White Horse on Canongate. We started with a dozen oysters, a mix of Lindisfarne, Carlingford and Islay. Every one was fresh, cold and briny, and it was great to compare them side by side. The shrimp tempura was light and crisp, and the Hot Platter for Two was the star of the night: generous, beautifully cooked and worth every penny. The service was just as good. Aislinn and the team were warm and attentive, knew the menu well, and made us feel looked after all evening. If you're in Edinburgh and love seafood, don't miss it. We'd happily come back.

We had the five-course tasting menu and honestly, every single bite was incredible. Everything was so thoughtfully put together, with beautiful flavours and combinations that just worked perfectly. Even the bread and butter was the best I’ve ever had! The artichoke soup was a dream (I absolutely love artichoke, so this was right up my street), the cod with mushrooms and grapes was a delicious and surprisingly perfect combination, and the venison with celeriac was cooked beautifully. Dessert was just as good, with a chocolate tart topped with toasted seeds and pumpkin gel that was the perfect finish. Every course was delicious, beautifully presented and full of flavour. You can really tell how much thought and care goes into the food, without anything feeling overcomplicated. A fantastic tasting menu, a lovely experience and worth every penny. We loved it and would absolutely recommend The Cottage to anyone looking for a really special lunch in Edinburgh. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️
