We braved the wind and rain again today and drove to Holyrood Palace, the Queen's official Royal residence in Edinburgh. The visit was very interesting, especially Mary Queen of Scots bed chamber and the elaborate Dining Room and the audio guide added to the enjoyment of knowing the history of each room. The original Abbey at the end of the visit was breathtaking. A couple of Beers in Nobles at Leith warmed us both up and then we had our usual siesta after a few games of dominoes.( I won!)
Glad Rags on again and a short drive to Restaurant Martin Wishart for another Michelin starred treat. Well, I thought The Kitchin Restaurant was good, but this is as good if not better - fine dining at its best. James went for the combined tasting menu and I plumped for the Seafood tasting menu as it looked much lighter. Amuse bouche followed by 6 sumptuous courses of fabulous food followed and I had a couple of glasses of Sancerre with my fish tasters, with James going for the wine flight of a glass of wine with each of his courses to complement the food. Rather than bore you with what we had, I will just say that Restaurant MW is absolutely superb, impeccable service and a wonderful, bright, airy atmosphere. My favourite of the 6 courses was the Red Mullet served on Potato Mouselline with Haddock, and a Red Wine Jus. James's favourite dish from his menu was the Shoulder of Beef, with Pastilla of Oxtail and Seasonal Vegetables. My mouth is watering again at the thought!
