Channings Restaurant
Of all the smart restaurants that serve Edinburgh New Town’s discerning foodies, Channings has been one of the best for years. Located under the hotel of the same name, it’s a bare-knuckle fight between residents and guests over the small number of tables, as in this mainly residential oasis top quality restaurants are thin on the ground. But the winners are rewarded handsomely in this intimate, candle-lit room.
Delicately flavoured seasonal starters of fresh crab, langoustine, wood pigeon or Goat’s cheese are followed by well hung Scottish beef, fresh fish or slow roasted loin of rabbit, braised leg, seared squid, with prune & pancetta risotto. Wines are supplied by a quality local firm, Inverarity Vaults, and retain a section hovering around the £20 mark for those who don’t want to delve deeper into the list.
Head Chef is Karen Mackay who sources all her supplies locally (Burnsides for game, Gilmour for meat, Duncan’s for hand dived scallops) as well as her own back garden for rhubarb and herbs.
