Pretentious, expensive, tasteless.

The Edinburgh Larder Bistro is brand new (open one month). It has some kinks to work out; we waited at the door with no one to help us for a long time and eventually tracked down a host, and it is a bit hidden on Alva street, hopefully they will get enough foot traffic. However, the food and wine menu does not need tampering!
The meat and produce was seasonal Scottish and the preparation was absolutely delicious. It was a bit difficult to eat around dairy and gluten allergies, but hopefully the next season's menu will be more favorable to common concerns like that. Also, if you dont have those concerns, then there are many, many appealing things to choose from!
We ordered, due to allergies, all starters: The Fennel and Chicory Salad, The Lamb with Minted Hummus, Wood Pigeon, Smoked Salmon and side salad. All were excellently prepared and the flavours stood out from other restaurants. Even the simple side salad was superb-would love it as a larger dinner portion.
The restaurant itself is very small and well laid out, as it was warm, well lit (read: not dark, cozy, and I could read the menu without aid) and intimate feeling. We sat in the conservatory, which was somewhat brighter than the main dining room. It was probably one of my favorite dining spaces in Edinburgh so far: comfortable, modern, clean lines, and still very warm and inviting.
Even with the allergies I will be going back to the Edinburgh Larder Bistro, and I would recommend it to others
