We take every excuse to pass through Edinburgh as often as we can because we love the city, love the people and adore the restaurants. Amongst those places that we will always stop by if we can is Castle Terrace. We loved it from the first time we visited in 2011 and when, shortly after, it won a Michelin star, it came as no surprise. For good measure, The Sunday Times in 2012 ranked it as the 5th best restaurant in Scotland. All of this is thoroughly deserved and with Chef-Patron Dominic Jack's continued commitment to food excellence, not a single second of resting on laurels here, we predict a future with many more accolades ahead, while a second star is definitely a possibility in the future, it's that good.
We have already written two blog posts on Castle Terrace and it was not our intention to blog this meal, but the food was so beautiful, we thought we'd put up the pictures so you could see for yourself and we shall burden you almost no further with words. As a final thought however, we would say that at Castle Terrace, no detail is too small, with the food highly intricate by a kitchen striving for perfection; the result is something fantastic. If in Edinburgh, it is our view that you simply have to visit. Enjoy.
