A Room in the West End and Teuchters Bar
26 William Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7NH
This is the 'little sister' to A Room in the Town, and there are some similarities, though not the fact that here they are located under Teuchters Bar in William Street, part of Edinburgh's West End. However, they still share the BYOW notion with big sister, together with the modest corkage fee. Their policy of quality, fresh and affordable Scottish produce in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere can hardly be faulted, particularly as they so obviously keep to it. Expect to find amongst the starters a peppered duck, wild mushroom and leek tart, topped with Isle of Gigha cheddar and sweet plum syrup, a grilled monkfish and Ayrshire bacon skewer with caramelised garlic and heather honey dressing, or smoked tuna, an olive and sugar snap pea salad with lime zest and poppyseed sour cream dressing.This is the 'little sister' to A Room in the Town, and there are some similarities, though not the fact that here they are located under Teuchters Bar in William Street, part of Edinburgh's West End.

Mains generally offer a pan fried 10 oz rib eye with parmesan and thyme, crushed new tatties and a rich Rioja reduction, or for the vegetarians a Macsweens vegetarian haggis, spinach and celeriac gratin, topped with fig and chilli compote. A special treat comes in the form of a baked plaice fillet rolled with Parma ham, crayfish tails and basil, and lemon avocado oil. All meals are served with fresh bread, potatoes and vegetables, no messing about with extra charges for these basic items.
Complete the pleasure with warm chocolate fudge pudding with caramel sauce, or a delightful sticky treacle tart with Baileys ice cream. The single malts list repays close study and a 20cl bottle of Grahams LBV port will yield you 2 big glasses or 4 smaller ones. As they say on their website, Cheers!

REVIEWS OF A Room in the West End and Teuchters Bar
Bix (18 March 2011)
A Room in the West End is one of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh. About the only time I choose somewhere else is if I've eaten there recently and the menu hasn't changed. I've never failed to be impressed by their starters and main courses - their liver and onions which I’ve only seen on the menu once, rates as one of the best main courses I've ever eaten. Desserts don’t live up to menu descriptions, though the cheese selection is great but I'm happy with two courses. I have been many times, and will be back many times.
Maggie May (11 December 2008)
I went there for a Christmas meal on Tuesday and it was by far the worst ever. I was served a bitter tasteless soup, with a dry, stingy turkey escalope that looked fried, under cooked chipolatas and disgusting hard side vegetables. The best things were the bread for the soup and the after dinner mint.
