Wonderful restaurant on the south side of Edinburgh serving 8 course gastronomic delights with wonderfully matched wines. Service is excellent as is the preparation of the tasting menu. Condita is one of those no menu places. Owned by fine dining consultant, Mark Slaney, their head chef is Conor Toomey, formerly of the Isle of Eriska Hotel. Before taking charge of the kitchen at Eriska, Conor was executive chef at Amberley Castle at Arundel, head chef at Storrs Hall at Windermere and head chef at Coworth Park, Ascot. All of these held a prestigious 3 Rosettes in the AA Restaurant Guide.Highly Recommended.

A group of us booked here with Itison vouchers. Weâd wanted to try it for a while so thought it was a good idea. The offer was very good value for money, the service was excellent and the food was delicious.Only negative were the desserts, we shared all 3 options between us and all of them didnât compare to the rest of the food especially the parmesan, apple and tarragon dessert, none of us could finish it. Weâll be back for dinner at some point.

Very welcoming staff on arrival - indeed everyone we came across was very polite, helpful, friendly and professional.We opted for the tasting menu which was really enjoyable - the standout courses for us were scallop and curry sauce, a mini "burger" (incredibly imaginative) and the chocolate and orange dessert. There was one weaker dish (beef with spelt risotto) which was only let down because some of the beef was tough - flavours still lovely.The wine menu is vast, but we found a tasty Pinot Blanc which went well with everything - rather than opting for the matched wines.We visited on a Saturday, so expected it to be busy, but as the evening progressed and the tables (which are fairly close together) filled up it became very noisy so we finished with coffee and delicious petit fours in the bar.On the whole a really enjoyable experience.
