L'Escargot Blanc

Edinburgh


This superb neighbourhood bistro, with French chef and wait staff, and two-thirds of its top-quality produce sourced in Scotland (one-third imported from France), is a true 'Auld Alliance' of culinary cultures. Choose from classics such as escargots in garlic butter, coq au vin (made with free-range Scottish chicken), and perfectly prepared Scottish rib-eye steak with cognac sauce.
