Abstract

Located a short walk from Lothian Road at the West End of Princes Street, Abstract is in the heart of both the financial and theatre districts. The moment you walk in, a pervasive sense of glitz and glamour is the first impression. The entrance takes you straight into the New York-style piano bar - cool, classy and very smart with dark wood, classic rococo wallpaper, soft lighting, leather chairs and square booths. A young singer entertains guests at the baby grand, as they sip their cocktails. Next door, the restaurant is a fabulous L shaped space with hidden corners, nooks and crannies; elegantly set tables are exotically covered in faux snakeskin and well spaced for privacy. Décor features gold painted ceiling panels and an occasional glittering mirrored pillar. Head Chef is Sean Kelly who trained in Paris. The menu is classic French with a contemporary fusion twist here and there: Scottish scallops, snail bonbons with asparagus and morels, blue fin tuna sashimi with wasabi icecream and jasmine rice, lemon sole with oysters and caviar, pineapple and mango ravioli, with chilli, coconut and coriander. And do experience the exquisite 7 course Tasting Menu or for a party of eight, sit at the Chef’s Table in the kitchen. Dining here is not just about eating, it involves all the senses with a touch of theatre about it. Abstract offers exquisite, exciting cuisine, a glamorous setting and a memorable night out.
