    Sweet Melindas

    Posted by Cagbag 11 March 2007

    Excellent fish restaurant in local area of Marchmont, just 15 minutes' walk from city centre through the lovely Meadows.

    The local fish shop is next door so you know whatever's on the menu is as fresh as it's going to get. We had the salt and pepper squid to start with which I would happily eat again and again and the Thai chicken soup which was flavoured to perfection and contained an abundance of chicken. There are other fish, meat and vegetarian starters.

    For mains we chose roast fillets of red snapper, sea bass with cockles, mussels and fennel and pernod sauce and also a grilled duck-breast with a jus of wine and blackcurrant sauce. Both outstanding with fantastic flavours and succulent flesh.

    Make sure you leave room for pudding, especially the warm hazelnut and chocolate pudding and also a scrumptious sticky toffee pudding.

    Staff are friendly and efficient and the cooking in the kitchen is some of the best you will experience in Edinburgh.

    Starters are about £5 and mains about £13.
