  • While busy with my Christmas shopping I stopped off for a solo Saturday lunch at an old university haunt

  • T get as far through the menu (which is a curious mixture of both Spanish and Greek dishes &ndash

  • The latter is delicious &ndash

  • The peppers are quite mild

  • Every so often you get one with a surprising heat

  • Service is fast and the menu is excellent value

  • I'm in love with their chorizo

  • I have been here a few times with my family and the food is really good

  • This atmosphere is friendly and inviting

  • The only issue I have is the staff are very tough with checking ID

  • Is a little frustrating when you are having a family meal and are 23

  • I popped in here for lunch with a colleague

  • The dishes come out when they are ready but these all came out in close proximity to each other

  • We started with the patatas bravas and the meatballs

  • The patatas bravas is light on the sauce here

  • The meatballs were in a set of three

  • Makes it a little less easy to share between two but were large enough that it was not a problem to cut a meatball in two and still have a decent bit of meat each

  • The nicest part was the tomato sauce

  • I have to say that this was probably the best dish of the four

  • The butter beans were soft and in a nice tomato sauce which included small pieces of other vegetables such as celery to give it added depth

  • This sauce was thinner and lighter than the one with the meatballs

  • Edinburgh's culinary scene is increasingly multi cultural

  • All sorts of restaurants offering various national cuisines seem to appear with increasing regularity and this is

  • Not only does it serve Spanish mini morsels but it complements these with a selection of Greek mezze

  • Now I understand there is a degree of commonality between food hailing from the east and west of the Mediterranean

  • The place was at best a third full

  • To be fair this was 6pm on a Wednesday night

  • The friendly and efficient staff ensured that pints of Estrella and a couple of menus were soon in our hands

  • Our waiter suggested we should order two to three dishes each and then see if we were still hungry

  • Three each it was then being cultural is a hungry business

  • New to me was in itself well put together

  • Roasted garlic loveliness that was the accompanying Romesco sauce made this something special

  • Equally good were the Buñ

  • Menus and cutlery were dumped in a pile on the table for us to sort out ourselves and we were informed

  • That three of the dishes and two bottles of wine were no longer available

  • The food which followed was utterly disappointing

  • Mixed vegetables arrived swimming in oil and were greasy and bland

  • The only positive was our first portion of chorizo it was spicy and succulent and such a pleasant surprise that we ordered a second portion of it

  • The second version was completely different undercooked and lacking the spice and flavour of the first

  • The restaurant was busy and other reviews make it clear that this restaurant can be good

  • Althought the first time I was not conviced by their mix of greek and spanish tapas

  • They have very good Spanish wines and service is good (staff is quite nice and friendly)
