The Kitchin (Leith)

• The Kitchin is as good as it gets in Edinburgh
• From our table we could see directly into the kitchen which was mesmerising watching Tom and the team preparing food
• The service is impeccable
• The food is classically French but with locally sourced Scottish ingredients
• Their tasting menus are also really reasonable for a Michelin starred restaurant
• Their cheese boards are great because it's all British cheeses
• Disappointed with the service
• Into the kitchen where Kitchin was working away
• My favourite dishes on the tasting menu were certainly the options I would never have chosen myself
• The food served is a harmonious unification of seasonal Scottish produce with a French style of cooking
• Needless to say I was pretty excited to finally get a table booked
• The michelin star restaurant was extended and refurbished over the winter
• In a way it is quite good that it took so long to visit as I got to see the updated restaurant
• Service and the overall experience was above and beyond my expectations meaning I gave it my only 10/10
• The service was impeccable from the moment we arrived we got the star treatment
• In terms of food I had the vegetarian tasting menu and all courses were perfection
• I was only not fond of the carrot tart but this is down to personal taste
• My husband had the razor clams for starters and the lobster for mains and he thought they were both wonderfully tasteful and far beyond his expectations
• T quite as excited as I was to visit Edinburgh restaurant The Kitchin
• The service and the food were outstanding
• Tom Kitchin met us on arrival and presented my new wife and I with a wonderful bouquet
• With the exception of a couple of stand out dishes (scollops in shell with puff pastry
• The gooseberry panna cotta) I have to say the food we had was pretty uninspiring and bland
• I am well aware of the restaurants ethos of nature to plate and have no doubt the food was of exceptional quality
• Both my wife and I were really disappointed and left wanting much much more
• The service is brilliant and the staff always attentive and extremely welcoming
• The sommelier is extremely knowledgeable and the wine pair matchings work perfectly with the different dishes
• Attended today as a Birthday treat with my partner
• Once again dining here is an experience not to be missed not just a meal
• We both had the surprise tasting menu and every course was exceptional
• Knowledgable and take time to talk to you about your visit but are not obtrusive
• French techniques are used at this amazing Scottish restaurant that is a converted older whisky warehouse
• It was a nice start to what was to be an amazing meal
• The restaurant was very busy all night but you would have never guess cos service was quick and professional and all the dishes brill
• Food was absolutely gorgeous and the service was outstanding
• Home made bread with homemade butter and the amuse bouche served in a baked onion just added to the whole experience
• I thought it was great value for money
