A lovely restaurant with sidewalk seating off George Street and Princes Street, my mom and I had our best lunch here of the whole trip.
We sat at a table outside and enjoyed the September sun as buskers played merrily from across the street.
The endearing (but not chatty) waitress bustled out with our appetizer--breaded goat cheese fried to tasty perfection--and then quickly followed with a steaming pot of mussels in a fragrant broth of shallots and cream. My mom and I devoured them as quickly as we could without seeming piggy; they were that good.
Obviously, from the name of the joint, we ordered the house specialty and got it right. Also on offer was a menu of other seafood delights, salads, and whatnot, as well as about four different broths for the mussels to choose from.
I'd recommend this restaurant for lunch, as the pedestrian traffic is fun to watch and the crowds seem to thin out in the afternoon. My mom and I split lunch, and my bit was just over 7 pounds, and the exchange rate that the time put that meal at around $12 or $13.
