Field - Edinburgh

Field April 2016<br/ Best in Show?<br/ <br/ I started with a Mediterranean inspired mackerel dish with Israeli couscous and AWOL mixed peppers. The mackerel was divine, and although the couscous lacked in flavour, it was a very tasty dish overall. The Man had beetroot cured salmon with a dill crème fraîche. My word, they certainly took more effort for the à la carte.

Just had a lunch here. A friend recommended this place. I'm so happy to find it. Very small room with good few tables in. Simple and clean. The food. Outstanding. Simple and one of the best I have tasted for long time. You can taste the freshness and the talent of their chef. The wild garlic gnocchi is sensational. They have a pretty good wine and digestive list. I highly recommend this place!

This week I went to a beautiful Christmas dinner at Field Edinburgh. It has a cosy, romantic feel to it and only had a few tables. The staff like Rachel in the front of house are so friendly and helpful, and Chefs Richard and Byron are always experimenting with great new creations. <br/ <br/ I first went to Field over a year ago for a friend 's birthday. I had a beautiful, rich dish of pork belly with black pudding gnocchi which was divine. For dessert, we discovered the 'jaffaron ' a delicious and creative Jaffa cake Macaron. <br/ <br/ I went with friends to Field this week for their set Christmas dinner menu. The choices for starters included oxtail ravioli, duck liver pâté, tomato and Aubergine soup, and mackerel. I wasn 't overly keen on any of them honestly. For the main I was really eager to try the chicken with chestnuts which was excellent. For dessert I had the pistachio layer cake with homemade cherry ice cream. Everything was absolutely beautifully presented but not as flavorful with pistachio as I would have hoped. <br/ <br/ I always have a lovely time at Field, and it is a beautiful place with high quality, excellently presented food.

Since writing my first review 2 years ago, Field remains my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. Never disappointed, whether lunch or dinner, the dishes are perfectly presented, bursting with flavours that can all be accompanied by the various options on the excellent wine list. Always made to feel welcome, eating at Field is the perfect place for a superb family meal. Having brought family members multiple times over the years, I can whole heartedly say this restaurant is a must when in Edinburgh.

Had the set lunch and pre theatre menu. Absolutely incredible value for money. The dishes are flavourful yet still balanced. The place is on the smaller side though. Highly recommended!
