First Coast Description

Neighbourhood restaurants seem to be on the growth these days, very good news too. Even better news when they are categorised as bistros, implying an even greater ease of ambience. In Europe they know all about neighbourhood restaurants, perhaps this is one of the more tangible benefits of EU membership?

In talking to chefs the world over one of the things I want to know is where do they eat on their night off? Their answers are often my next port of call. For an increasing number in Edinburgh the answer is "First Coast". You can quickly tell why after even only a few minutes of talking with the MacRae brothers from Skye, whose gaff this is.

Here are people genuinely interested in genuine food, for whom quality is everything. Combined with an intelligent simplicity of cooking that pays homage to the integrity of the materials, their dishes, which average around £12, possess a quality that is memorable.

Your Reviews of First Coast

Teresa (11 September 2009)

We had a three course meal at 5.30 pm. We were the first to be in there, but it was soon full and I understand why, it was fabulous, just a lovely place to eat. I will be back all the way from E/K.

Rob van Tol (12 August 2009)

Went along for an intimate birthday meal and was rewarded by a lovely atmosphere, diligent and attentive staff, good food and value for money. We had the pre-theatre early menu and a bottle of wine for £20 a head. I enjoyed the fillet of coley, homemade potato gnocchi, tomato and caper vinaigrette, and loved the poppy seed parfait with vanilla poached peach, while my partner was delighted by her chicken and cashew nut curry, with jasmine rice. And was only disappointed that she couldn't quite finish her apricot, roasted hazelnut, and marmalade steamed pudding with amaretto custard. With a bottle of good house red, the only downside was, to walk round the festival for an hour afterwards being rather full.
