The Times
Chitra Ramaswamy was thrilled by the priciest meal of her reviewing career – £165 for a 14-curse tasting menu – at chef Stuart Ralston’s fourth restaurant, in “one of Edinburgh’s most beautiful Georgian addresses”, an elegant townhouse on Royal Terrace that was previously the late Paul Kitching’s 21212.
Her dinner was “pure decadence (at least three courses too many for this critic)” and “insanely expensive”, but there was no question about the excellence: “it is Ralston’s finest hour”.
A dish of poached langoustine wrapped in kataifi pastry, the shredded filo usually encountered in baklava, with burnt apple ketchup was, Chitra reckoned, “at once the best battered seafood I’ve eaten and like nothing I’ve encountered before”.
