Avery Edinburgh

“Our first time dining at Avery and we had an excellent experience. Delicious food with a quality pairing including champagne, wines and unusually a whisky. Each one perfectly matched with the dish and enhanced the meal. Service was great from start to finish in a friendly, relaxed but professional way throughout the evening. Some stand out dishes that make a repeat visit a certainty.”

“We indulged ourselves by booking dinner at the Michelin Star Avery. It was a 13 course dinner menu. The restaurant is located at the basement and it was a small and cosy ambiance. The tasting menu as below. Bone broth. Grilled peas, black truffle. Grilled beet. Burnt sesame. Onion ash Grilled brassicas. Roasted garlic. Interestingly plated on what they call Joe. Wild garlic. Smoked eel. Bits and bobs from the sea with Coconut broth. Langoustine. XO condiment. Fish butter rice. This was our favorite. Tortellini with burnt onion butter and roasted garlic broth. It’s amazing how the tortellini pops in your mouth releasing intense flavor. And the broth is just like a consommé, so comforting and delish. Wild pigeon with black truffle, mushroom and vadouvan. The pigeon was minced and I would prefer it otherwise. Charcoal roasted sika deer with sweet garlic puree. Cheese tart with cheddar and honey comb. Another favorite. It was so creative and well thought. Custard with apples and cognac. I didn’t quite like this. 3 types of petit four. A great combination. Everything was really well plated and what’s interesting was the assortment of cutleries that complemented the dishes. Service is very good and the food came out in a very timely manner. The chef is a culinary genius and very creative. We loved the menu. Actually everything was a surprise and we thoroughly enjoyed each course presented. We could definitely feel some Asian influence in the menu, with some spices involved. We got to enjoy so many flavor profiles.”

“Fantastic food and experience throughout the dinner. All dishes in the menu were delicious, with no gaps in quality or flavors like it can happen sometimes. The wine pairing was also right on point, for example adding sweetness when the dish has some spiciness to it. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!”

“We were very kindly gifted vouchers to visit Avery. I had a look at the website and the restaurant looked lovely. I won’t lie …. I was a little worried that the food was going to be a bit posh for me and I might not enjoy the experience as much as it should be enjoyed. However, I was blown away with each dishes that were offered. Fabulous experience! The server and chef that waited on us were great too! Thanks for having us!”

“Avery offers a refined, intimate dining experience with personalized service that reflects its Michelin-star status. I went with the upgraded tasting menu—beautifully presented and technically sound, though not quite unforgettable. The wine pairing didn’t suit my palate, but the 50-year whiskey was a highlight. Overall, a pleasant evening with thoughtful touches, but it didn’t make my top five.”
