Trust me!! Edinburgh Restaurant

🌟Whiski Rooms | Average Spend: £40-50 How can you visit Scotland without trying Scottish cuisine? 🥩 I found out about this place from a recommendation by Mr. G. It took three visits to finally get a table! The first two times, they said the wait would be over 2 hours😭. I suggest making a reservation in advance, especially during holidays. 🌟Haggis is a must-try Scottish specialty (though personally, I thought it was just okay hahah). You can't really taste any gaminess; it's basically minced meat with a mashed potato base. 🤷‍♂️ 🌟I'd heard that Scottish whisky is famous, so my friend and I ordered an 18-year-old one to try. It lived up to its reputation! It was smooth, with a fruity aftertaste (maybe apple and cinnamon? I'm not very knowledgeable about alcohol hhh). 🥃 🌟The lamb was amazing!! It was the best dish out of the three. I usually don't like lamb because of its strong smell😭, but this dish was so tender and had minimal gaminess. Every bite was satisfying.😌 🌟The salmon was also good. We all agreed on the ranking of the dishes by taste: lamb, salmon, haggis. 🐟 🌟The dessert was a delightful surprise. Another Scottish specialty, Cranachan, is a classic raspberry dessert with whisky. The alcohol flavor wasn't too strong, so it was quite acceptable. 🍓 🌟What really makes you want to stay is the whisky. They also provided a small cup of water, similar to a Japanese "mizuwari" but slightly different in style. The waiter taught us to add three drops of water using a dropper to the whisky before drinking. First, I took a sip without adding💧. It had an intense aroma, similar to drinking rice wine, warming the stomach without being harsh. After adding a bit of 💦, the flavor changed. I added three more drops of 💦, and contrary to what I thought, the diluted alcohol flavor became stronger and more pungent, hitting the nasal cavity directly (this is just my personal experience and feeling as a novice drinker). 😅 #HistoricalHotel #Edinburgh #EdinburghRestaurant #ScottishCuisine
