Very enjoyable trip to Edinburgh, staying at the Apex hotel in Waterloo Place. Nice hotel, good food, great location but the front-of-house staff all responded as if they had only been hired the week before, which let it down a bit. The weather was cold but dry, which was good for sightseeing.The picture is of a Buttery with Crowdie and Leeks in a Cream Sauce. This was served in the restaurant at the National Gallery. The buttery was described as a Scottish version of a croissant, which seemed fair as it seemed to be a yeast leavened puff pastry. Crowdie is cream cheese. It made a delicious light lunch.
We also ate well at The Garrigue, an authentic French restaurant, in Jefferys Street. I had a very tasty fish soup served with aioli, followed by cassoulet. We also ate at Kushis Indian restaurant. This was very good and deserving of the 'must do ...' recommendation.
