Meda

Stopped by here for a late lunch. They had all sorts of cuisine, but mainly stuck with Italian.

For drinks got one of their vodka based drinks from their all day happy hour menu. I actually enjoyed it.

For lunch got the croquettes, pepperoni pizza (which was different because it had no tomato sauce, and had potatoes underneath the pepperoni), and the pesto pasta. All great choices (croquettes were a bit too salty though). Would come back again to try the other drinks and food.

Noto

For our second day at Edinburgh, we decided to try this Michelin star restaurant for lunch.

The menu is fairly simple, and they mentioned we should order 2 to 3 dishes per person.

We ended up getting the North Sea crab, the trout temaki, arbroath smoke croquettes, and the okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake).

I would say the first two items I would get again. For 3rd, it was too salty, and the 4th I didn’t like the ginger.

For drinks got an espresso martini. That was good. And for desert got the chocolate ice cream (hidden inside is a lava cake) and strawberry hibiscus meringue (hidden inside is the strawberry sauce you put on waffles). The deserts were amazing.

Overall I would come back, it probably replace the last two dishes with others.
