<\/a><\/p>\nIt is a fantastic venue for a catch-up with friends or a stylish date night, though guests should note that the stairs are currently the only way down into this subterranean garden.<\/p>\n
The Menu and the Mystery of Nolan<\/p>\n
The bar is currently buzzing with the story of Nolan, their Nutcracker figurine that was famously stolen during the festive season. In a brilliant move, the venue has launched The Nickin\u2019 Nolan Cocktail. It is a mix of Bumbu Rum, Frangelico, tonka, chocolate, salt, acid, and a vanilla foam. The drink is smooth, cheeky, and a little bit nutty, just like Nolan himself. It is a drink with a heart, too, as \u00a35 from every sale goes directly to Cash For Kids.<\/p>\n
For those visiting in December or January, there is an extra bit of fun to be had. If you mention the word Nutcracker to your server, you are given a scratch card. Prizes range from free sides and desserts to a full boozy roast for four or even a trip to Germany. It adds a playful, competitive edge to a night out, and even if you do not win the top prize, the cocktail is a reward in itself.<\/p>\n
Savoury Bites and Sunday Roasts<\/p>\n
The food menu is diverse, ranging from taco pairs and smash burgers to a very popular Sunday roast served from noon. The salt and chilli chicken waffle is a standout choice for those who enjoy a bit of heat with their comfort food. I also highly recommend the steak and eggs; the steak comes pre-cut and is an absolute pleasure to eat. It is the kind of dish that makes for an effortless, indulgent lunch.<\/p>\n
If you are looking for a deal, the boozy brunch is excellent value. At \u00a340 for two courses and three cocktails, or \u00a330 for the non-alcoholic version, it is a hard bargain to beat in the city centre. While portions for the main plates can lean towards the bijou side, the quality is undeniably premium. For those with a sweet tooth, the espresso martini sundae or the bourbon ice cream sandwich are the perfect ways to round off a meal.<\/p>\n
Things to do in City Centre<\/p>\n
George Street is the heart of Edinburgh\u2019s high-end shopping district, but there is plenty more to explore nearby. If you are arriving from further afield, TheTrainLine<\/a> is the best way to book tickets into Edinburgh Waverley. For those staying overnight, Booking.com<\/a> offers a range of options from boutique hotels to serviced apartments right on the doorstep of the New Town.<\/p>\n If you fancy a show after your meal, the Edinburgh Playhouse<\/a> is within easy reach for world-class theatre. For visitors looking to explore the city\u2019s outskirts or head to the coast, renting a vehicle through RentalCars.com<\/a> is a convenient option. If you decide to stay in and fancy a treat delivered to your door, Deliveroo<\/a> services the entire central area with a huge variety of local eats.<\/p>\n Overall<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
