The Dogs (New Town)

• Anything that gets her seal of approval is usually a pretty safe bet
• Hidden up a staircase dotted with dog paraphernalia is a cute and delightful restaurant
• If The Dogs was in London it would most almost certainly to be found in Shoreditch
• Scallie despite walking around Edinburgh in between meals I was still stuffed
• I soon realized with excitement that we were near enough to pop in for a spot of lunch
• When we arrived (early) we were the only ones there
• The service was friendly and pleasant and they were clearly on top of the service which quickly became busy
• So I wouldn't recommend if you are fancying something light (although soup is always an option)
• Apple salad with mustard dressing'
• The few salad leaves there were didn't really qualify the dish as a salad in my humble opinion
• The pork was absolutely delicious in any case with layers of gooey fat in a crispy crunchy exterior
• This worked very well with the black pudding and apple I thought
• The dressing was far too acidic for my taste
• Potato and tarragon pie with puff pastry' and also a side of 'chips cooked in dripping'
• The pie filling was also sublime
• I didn't pick up any dripping flavor which makes me suspect that probably they were done in oil
• It lives up to its name with paintings of dogs and statues in the two rooms that the restaurant covers
• As we all ordered them as sides and they were so more ish
• This was the perfect way to end the meal as it was light and the lemon was refreshing
• The place is amazing with very nice environment
• The food itself is pretty good also
• The pumpkin risotto was very good as all the other meals that my trip friends have asked
• My visit to The Dogs on my birthday is up there in my most unpleasant dining experiences to date
• My memory of this restaurant is the terrible service we received from the owner
• I was embarrassed and disappointed at how rushed and unwelcome our group was made to feel from the start
• Some of our group ran a little late (10 minutes) and as a result we were made to feel like such an inconvenience
• The way we were spoken to by the owner in his request to have the table back was unbelievably rude
• The behaviour of the owner was completely inexcusable and left me wishing I had chosen somewhere else
• Chicken livers as a starter are the best thing
• We chose the pork and butter bean stew with crispy pork belly slice served with an oatmeal and bacon stuffing
• It was basically pork rolled in pork stuffed with pork and some oats sat gladly on a bed of beans and more pork
• Came here for an impromptu meal with my girlfriend this evening
• The steak was delicious and juicy while the chips had been fried hard and were expertly crispy
• My girlfriend had the lamb and although of my cravings for steak and chips I was almost tempted into asking to swap because it was so delicious
• We came in for a quick lunch before heading back to London and the food was just sublime
• We were seated in the front dining room which isn't huge and the tables are quite close together
• I'm not a huge fan of lamb but this was possibly my favourite part of my meal
• I found very tasty but the haddock was the highlight for me
• So I knew I was going to go with this for dessert
• I really enjoyed but my taste buds were confused with the orange and chili sauce
• The food the Dogs is serving is excellent
