Mark Greenaway - Menú

Really nice place for a special meal. Everything was super beautiful and tasty, and some dishes came with captions : . One of my favourites was the fennel veloute (yes, I love soup! . Staff was super nice. I had a glass of wine, it was nice, but I can 't remember which one.

We've visited Restaurant Mark Greenaway on a number of occasions and have always had fantastic meals. The tasting menu is a real experience, be prepared not to move afterwards! The market menu shouldn't be overlooked as a reasonably fine dining experience. We'll be back soon.

The 8 course degustation plus an amuse bouche with wines at £100 a head is an absolute bargain for the quality ingredients, creative flair and impeccable service that really could not be faulted in any way. I wish I could detail every course, but that would be impossible unless I took notes as we selected the Chef's Surprise Menu. I am usually skeptical about selecting these as I feel they really could just come out with whatever is left over from cooking for the other patrons. However, Mark Greenaway manages to really surprise and deliver on expectations. We were brough everything from soup to pates, to mysterious Japanese-inspired broth concoctions that could have come out of a science exp...

I am going to break the hearts and minds of many as I write this review. Chide as you must I speak only the truth. I will first admit that I am far closer to the classless slob end of the spectrum than an appreciator of fine cuisine... I will second admit that I came here on a 'pay what you like ' night so I may have never ventured in here otherwise... I will third admit that half the reason my experience was so shit was because everyone else was dying over their food saying it was the greatest thing they had ever tasted... I will fourth admit that I am a vegetarian, so I have zero opinion of the duck or the quail or the lamb or whatever... I will fifth admit that I had no idea what spelt wa...

Incredible service, doesn 't rely on obscure and novel ingredients to deliver an amazing experience just craft, artistry, and execution. It 's been a while, but I had the tasting menu here. The first thing that struck me was how boring the items were. See, a lot of places like this, it 's truffle this, stone fruit that (not peaches or plums, no, that 's too everyday), kumquats, some kind of root you 've never heard of you know, stuff that you don 't really have in your larder and couldn 't get anyway, and stuff that would intimidate or put off your pickier friends. Not so, here! They don 't rely on that to make the meal incredible, just really sharp execution, plating, and service. I had a s...

I have to say I was ridiculously excited about my visit to Restaurant Mark Greenaway For my boyfriends 30th birthday. Not only had Mark featured on Great British Menu last month but it was my first visit to the new site on North Castle Street apart from a quick chat with the infamous chef previously and a fab meal at the last place. It seemed such a long time and long wait with baited breath since Mark announced his plans to move from Picardy Place to an unknown location, in what seemed a very exciting move for a chef who seems to be going from strength to strength in the Edinburgh food scene. As always on enetering Loic the sommelier extroidinaire greeted us warmly amd seated us at the tabl...

The great writer Virgina Woolf once wrote One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. Well, last Thursday night, a private dining table of Yelpers thought well and went home to a happily sound sleep after dining at No.12 Picardy Place...and I know we all fell in love with the delicious food and wonderful experience we had. I 've been waiting on the perfect opportunity to dine at No.12 Picardy Place, and the chance to sample the new menu with such wonderful company was too good to miss. Mr Greenaway kindly settled us into a private dining area, and our service was impeccable from start to finish. Our waiting staff were friendly, attentive and had the right balance...

Now, I'm starting (OK, well starting is probably a poor word) to sound like a whinger. And I am not just talking about the review that follows, but I've noticed a trend of contrary reviews. That's ok, I try to keep myself unbiased as best I can, and to that regard, I award 4 stars, a drop from 5. *audible gasp from the audience* There are reasons, oh yes there is, and I still regard MG as some sort of culinary god. But, it's a new menu, and I think it needs to get of it's training wheels. Flavours wise don't feel quite together yet. Presentation, as always, flawless. Service struggled with a table of 18, but was pleasant throughout, but time between courses was quite long, but I put that dow...

This could only ever have been 5 stars! After the much publicised closure of Mark Greenaways restaurant at Piccardy Place we all waited with baited breath to find out where he was heading to. From his words at the Foodies Christmas Fair to his updates on twitter he was giving nothing away. So clandestine was this becoming that a head chef from another restaurants comment on twitter that he looked forward to having Mark as a neighbour lead to the rumour he was off to the Royal Mile. Then, just two weeks ago, he announced his new location as 67 North Castle Street the site of a former Italian Restaurant and once upon a time an RBS branch. I was delighted to have a reason for booking for openin...
