We put Eat Drink Meet to the test last weekend while enjoying Edinburgh’s Fringe Festival. Sure, there are tonnes of street food stalls, pop-ups and designated eating and drinking areas at Fringe, but we wanted a nice restaurant away from the crowds where we could relax and enjoy a nice dinner (with good cocktails not served in the plastic cups we’d been used to for most of our visit!)
While we did get some inspo from the Eat Drink Meet blog which actually had a really useful article on Edinburgh’s hot spots, I went straight to the ‘search and book’ function and typed in the city. Presented with plenty of choice, at first glance, each venue is clearly marked with how far away it is from the centre, the type of restaurant it is, whether it’s suitable for work meetings, parties, large group bookings, dog friendly or not and a range of other useful headline info.
After reading the brief but informative synopsis, we decided on Browns. Located on Edinburgh’s beautiful George Street, and a good 20 minute walk from Fringe so we could stretch our legs and take in the stunning sights of Edinburgh Castle, it was the perfect choice.
Browns brasserie is a beautiful restaurant. Chic, stylish and set over two floors, this relaxing haven was a welcome and tranquil break from the hustle and bustle of Fringe. Starting with an Old Fashioned from the bar, we were already suitably chilled by the time we ordered dinner. We absolutely loved the massive sharer sized baked camembert oozing with hot melted cheese and accompanied by an overflowing bread basket.
Cocktails downed, we ordered a bottle of house wine to come with the mains (the Cutfield & Haworth Red was a lovely juicy, easy drinking South African red for only £27.50) along with the prawn and devon crab linguine and the pulled lamb shepherd’s pie. I loved the lime, chilli and coriander pesto and the splash of white wine in the sauce which perfectly complimented the crab. While this dish was delicious, it was the shepherd’s pie which definitely stole the show! A gorgeous hearty dish bursting with meaty goodness, rich red wine flavour and tender pulled lamb. Absolutely divine.
