★★★★★ 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.
