The Vintners Rooms

Maitre d’ Silvano Praino extends a warm welcome in this delightful slice of France in Leith. The exquisite dining room, with its historic and delicate plasterwork ceiling, sets the ambience for the high quality of food. Head chef David Spanner demonstrates considerable talent with a wafer-thin octopus carpaccio accompanied by locally sourced lobster. Pork belly is served with scallops and a surprise kick of chilli caramel. Main courses are likewise traditional yet inventive. A tender rack of lamb with a delicate parcel of cabbage and crisp polenta is light and flavourful. A perfectly aged piece of beef sirloin with a marrow ham hock croquette is packed full of rich beefy flavour. A well-kept French cheese selection is tempting should you still have room. Beautiful presentation is married with superb work in the kitchen, which makes for a memorable experienceend_of_the_skype_highlighting
