The table settings have all the loveliness of a sunny Sunday picnic, with sweet bright touches (string lights, potted plants, etc.)—like a Sunday picnic at an evil-free cow farm! My wife had the “smashed avocado” on toast (yes, the meme-iest millennial meal; we perpetuate the stereotype, gladly) and a hot chocolate. I gobbled down the reuben, which was a creamy and tangy sandwich tower of gut-gladdening comfort food. For dessert we enjoyed a (gluten-free) coffee and chocalate cake—oh dear lord it was soul-warming!
Amarone
12-13 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh EH2 2AF, UK
An always bustling spot that used to be a bank, appreciated for its fine acoustics, although, a tad noisy due to plates clattering!

Very good restaurant. Excellent location. Very attentive and pleasant service. They have gluten-free options but the only reliable thing for celiacs is pasta. They have a pizza base but the oven is the same for all of them and without protection.

It was great! We have been looking at the restaurant many times before as we were passing by but we decided we must definitely try it out! The restaurant was so warm and welcoming, the atmosphere was lovely and very vibey. The employees were super kind and catered to our every need. They paid very close attention to our guest who was gluten intolerant. They had an amazing GF/V menu and a large variety of dishes. We really loved your restaurant and will definitely be back soon! I would recommend it to anyone going out with friends, family for date night or get together.
