When I was back a few weeks ago we had a meal in the Gurkha in Musselburgh. Whilst the food was delicious, I'm not sure it was worth £135 for 4 mains and 4 drinks.

I'm in fairly regularly. One night I went in with a couple who hadn't been before and he flat out refused to sell us Estrella (despite having it on draught) and insisted we have bottles of Mahou instead. I recommended it to a work colleague as well and she said he was really off with her and her husband to the point it was just outright rude.
I can get why people feel that way. I like him and his wife is lovely but I think he just has a bit of an odd sense of humour that can rub some people up the wrong way.

Timberyard. I was there last night.
Tiny portions of average food. A mess of wine/beer pairings, 2 of which we had exchanged.
A small glass of German beer was offered, another course orange wine. Eventually we had 2 small glasses of Sangiovese.
Main, if you can call it that was either John Dory or Guinea fowl. Both ok but....
450 for 2. I'm still trying to make it seem worth it.

Still not cheap, and I broadly agree with the OPs assessment of the food, but a bit more understandable than if it had been a main and pudding each with a bottle of house red.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

For that price you could almost get two of you flights and a couple of nights hotel in Porto or Naples for example. Need a few hundred for food and drink but it's cheap and blows your mind.

I can't remember if I've mentioned it here before but the Purslane down Stockbridge is a cracking wee restaurant and they do a seven course taster menu with paired wines for £140 per head. Food has always been excellent and the guys serving the wines definitely come across as knowing their stuff, and in my experience, are less pretentious than the Timberyard staff (to be fair, I haven't been to the TY since lockdown).
The Purslane food is up there with the best I've had in Edinburgh and the owner said they probably could have went down the Michelin award route but they shied away from it as the effort to maintain the award standard can be tough and if you lose a star, the assumption is your failing, which isn't always the case.Last edited by speedy_gonzales; 19-04-2024 at 02:33 PM.

Personally speaking, for me it's expensive and i probably wouldn't have went if i never had the voucher. The expense is all relative though so worth a visit if you can afford it.
