Maison Bleue

we popped in for the advertised pre dinner menu for £6.90 2 course up to 6.30p.m. we were shown to a seat and asked to wait for a table, the waiter returned to say the food for this menu was finished but they had the dinner menu.As it was just 6pm we thought this was a bit off as the dinner menu was much more expensive and we were only out for a quick menu before a show.This is the second time we have gone in to be told this so obviously its standard to offer dinner menu and its a con.We will not try again and advise other people to avoid it.

My girlfriend and I popped in for lunch on Sunday afternoon and had a wonderful time. The restaurant is in a lovely building on Victoria Street with original stonework and arches and is decorated with a stylish and suble Moroccan'esque theme making for a classy but cosy atmosphere. We were shown through to the restaurant which was probably two thirds full and the waiter whisked away our coats and shopping bags and showed us to a lovely table in the corner.

We ordered a bottle of wine (Kleine Zalze Chenin Blanc - excellent and great value, especially for those of us used to paying London mark-up's !) and the two course lunch menue for c. £9.50 each. My salad of warm chorizo and poached egg was excellent, as were my girlfriends mussels and the chicken tagine and saddle of rabbit that followed were also superb. We shared a strawberry cheesecake for desert which if memory serves added just £1.90 to the bill !

The service throughout was helpful and efficient but not rushed and the atmosphere was buzzy but relaxed, just what we were after. The bill came to £40 with service which was fantastic value given the overall quality of the food and surroundings.

Highly recommended !

Fantastic food, wonderful staff, friendly, knowledgeable, professional but good humoured, very nice selection of wines, including a very tasty house malbec, and very nice atmosphere and decor. booked for a 60th birthday party at short notice, table time changed a few hours before we were going to turn up at our behest and yet still they managed to find us a lovely table as i'd asked, to make the birthday that extra bit special. looked for a long time at restaurants to go to and very glad i chose this one: first class. price was reasonable too for what we had. 3 starters, 3 mains, 3 desserts, half a dozen drinks and it was around the £100 mark. very good location too, around the corner from Grassmarket and the Royal Mile, so perfectly placed to carry on your night elsewhere or get a cab home. I will return!
