Contini (New Town)

• Admittedly the decor is very grand and quite impressive but unfortunately the food does not compare
• The saving grace of Contini (New Town) was the virgin apple Mohito
• I visited Contini today as it was a bloggers breakfast event to start off Edinburgh Fashion Week
• It was delicious and the staff were super friendly
• Literally breakfast (obviously after desert) is my favourite meal ever
• The service was on top form
• The waiter ensures our glasses or cups were warm and topped up
• Lovely restaurant in a pretty setting with great choices for small plates
• I was blown away by the spinach salad with preserved lemon
• The service was a tad bit austere but the food more than makes up for it
• The ingredients were excellent and the dishes themselves showed real flare
• Flavours were balanced with no harsh overtones no one ingredient overshadowed the others and the balance of complimenting flavours was excellent
• The site itself is pretty stunning
• All the folk attending you were both friendly and attentive
• I can state it was one of the best things I've tasted in a long time
