Let’s cut to the chase. Wedgwood: The Restaurant (as opposed to Wedgwood: The Vacuum Cleaner?) was probably the best restaurant we went to in Edinburgh. Tasty, somewhat upscale, well-prepared, non-fussy, good eats. For an appetizer I had some pigeon served on top of haggis and potatoes. It was superb — the best haggis and accompaniments I had in Edinburgh. (Btw, haggis, despite being made from sheep’s heart, liver and lung, is nothing to be afraid of…it’s basically like corned beef hash.) For a main, I had lamb encrusted in cous-cous, pistachio, and black onion seed, and served with gingered sweet potatoes. Damn tasty. To finish, a classic sticky toffee pudding, my favorite British dessert.
There’s not much to say about a place like this. The food was really good, and there were a number of different options, including two different vegetarian options for main course. While I wouldn’t say the food was wildly interesting, it was certainly very satisfying. And although Rose wasn’t totally happy with her menu choices (see her blog), the other vegetarians we dined with were. Highly recommended.
