La Garrigue is a little bit of Languedoc sunshine in the Edinburgh sky. Fish soups, cassoulets, bouillabaisses, Pézenas pies and rabbit quail are put on your plate here by Jean-Michel Gauffre, an adored chef who arrived in Scotland more than 20 years ago. Gordon Ramsay himself speaks of it as the best French chef in the country and it must be said that it is a success. The purple walls are decorated with works by a Scottish painter and the chairs and tables are the work of an English artist. The staff is entirely French (except for one Monegasque) and the view of Calton Hill is very pleasant. A beautiful establishment where it is better to book.

The waiting staff are excellent and attenative, And it was nice to meet the owner as well.
Edinburgh can be a fickle place to get a good lunch . The La Garrique didnt dissapoint and was all as a remembered it from my last visit.
All in it was £59.25 for 2 mains, beers x2 , glass of wine, 1x bread and a coffee.
Donn't be put off that I only left 4 stars .. very very really do I give 5 stars . The La Garrigue is well worth a visit. I will def be back, soon !
Overall it was amazing and there was a treat at the end which was a sweet gesture from the manager ☺️
Worth every penny. Great value for money.
