Running around town getting things done, we decided to stop for a quick lunch – but the question was where? We headed for Thistle Street since it has a number of options and, better the devil you know, opted for The Bon Vivant. It was a Monday, and Edinburgh’s snowiest day for a while so we found it rather empty, but received a friendly welcome and chose our table.
Bites
We ordered quickly as we wanted to have a brief lunch. With the cold, wintery conditions outside we ordered a bite each then both opted for the Fish Pie. My Arancini arrived and hit the spot perfectly, with the comforting and tasty combination of risotto and cheese. The Kiwi had the tart bite, but the tart was so freshly made it hadn’t had time to set so looked unappealing but tasted great!
Then to the Fish Pie. Homely, comforting oval dishes topped with smooth potato mash arrived, along with the side of veg. Underneath the thick potato topping there were lovely chunks of a variety of fish from salmon to haddock to smoked fish. Really, it was all a good Fish Pie should be, and for the price point you really can’t argue.
