  • The Scran and Scallie

    The diabetic restaurant reviews return!

    This is in Edinburgh, in Stockbridge. Address :

    Tom Kitchin’s Edinburgh restaurant may not deserve its Michelin star…

    To see the menu is in the pictures. The staff were very polite, the venue was lovely, too.

    Sadly 2 downsides, though;

    1: the dish I chose was a special, so not on the menu, albeit I did get some vegetable crisps to carb compensate What I did choose was probably a poor choice; pickled herring. It came with some rye bread which had a beautiful gingerbread flavour, and the added salad was nice. The main objective of a restaurant, should be good food. I’m not reviewing it to be poorly cooked, but probably poorly researched what the market would like?

    2: the menu is stupid. Totally confusing, to fool you into paying more than what you expected, after you ate it.

    See if you can initially understand what is going on:

    Poor menu design, particularly for the target market. Beautiful presentation though:

    Again, NOTHING(like most high end restaurants) about the nutrition.
