The Times
Charlotte Ivers headed to Leith, her favourite part of Edinburgh, to a new venture from Roberta Hall-McCarron and the team behind the popular Little Chartroom.
“It’s next door, and basically identical. The difference is there if you squint: it’s a bit less formal, a bit less fancy. But from the outside you’d be forgiven for not noticing Ardfern even existed, walking straight past to its famous older brother.”
The service – from Ellen – was terrific, and Charlotte was impressed by the brevity of the menu, which “feels delightfully chic. I like a short menu. It implies confidence, perhaps even arrogance. ‘We know what’s good for you,’ it seems to say. At Ardfern, they definitely do.”
