Absolutely fantastic hidden gem! Myself and my wife went for our anniversary dinner. We simply couldn't fault it. Our server was lovely with great knowledge of food and wine. Each course freshly cooked to order. Stunning presentation. Very romantic night out to celebrate our special occasion. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend!!
I've been there twice now and something just rubs me the right way. It's probably the food.
Food at Le Petit Mort is good! Surprisingly good, in fact, considering the fairly down to earth prices and the genuinely delightful setting. First time around I tried the lunch menu (burger + soup) which was substantial enough to fill the ol' tank for a day. On the second occasion I went for something finer and the experience did not disappoint. To date, this is my favorite eating out experience in Edinburgh.
Wow! This place is an unbelievable find. Especially for the pre theatre menu. All of the dishes were Michelin style quality. Presentation sublime. Service friendly and prompt. We had the incredible Cullen skink spring rolls and cauliflower and truffle soup. The mains of ox cheek and sliced flat iron with dauphinoise potatoes was beautiful. The desserts were great. Two very very minor issues were the profiteroles were a little bit dry and meat was under seasoned but easily fixed with salt and pepper on table.
Will become a regular visitor here for my trips to Edinburgh.
Slightly hidden of the main road is this nice gem. We had lunch here and all I can say is wow... what nice meal we had. Congrats to the chef, the flavours are so nicely achieved and such nice presentation.
This is a hidden gem! We were directed to all of the normal tourist spots for dinner but decided to check it out online. We stayed at a hotel close by and happened to see this place on the map. The online menu and reviews prompted us here and I speak for my whole family when I say we were not disappointed. The portions were a little small but their qualities more than made up for it. The unique combinations of ingredients was exciting and irresistible. Every bite was a delight and discovery of the intricacies of the dish. Well done to the chef! Also, the plating was a feast for the eyes and I have to admit that I left feeling quite full.
We have a brilliant Sunday lunch here, great little menu that changes with the seasons, the cocktails were to die for as well. Thank you so much and we will be back!
Cosy restaurant-bistro. Warm decor and ambience. Very friendly welcome and service even though we were a bit late. Excellent choice of drinks too. But what was and is best is the quality of the cuisine. Starters - my wife had the roast cauliflower-truffle soup, I had the ballotine (more like a galantine,really) of rabbit. Both delicious. Then we had the beautifully grilled cod with goats cheese and chorizo sauce . Yummy! Dessert was fabulous - a coconut mousse with panacotta and little brownie morsels to round off the meal.
All presented artistically. The owner-chef deserves all praise for the blend of French and Scottish offering. Good choice of malt whiskies. Will certainly visit again.
Definitely recommended. Well presented food, tasty, nice service and ambience. Visited three times in my week as they are the nearest place that I fancy 😁
Fabulous pre-gig (okay theatre be we were going to a gig!) menu, excellent food and value (free prosecco too!). Great service to boot.

Delicious food (picture is of lamb belly starter), friendly staff (that knows their beers) and great atmosphere (place looks great with cool singer tables and wall deco).
Really nice food, the lamb was great. Lovely staff and service, nice atmosphere, attention to details, no music so you can actually talk.
Taken out to dinner and drinks here.very luxurious and great food and drink
Absolutely wonderful! The venue has a warm and traditional feel: stone, dark wood and dark green paint with a bar from which great cocktails are served. The food is fantastic: ambitious and complex such as the mixed tuna first course but absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The service was perfect - attentive and friendly. Prices very reasonable for what you get. This is the best restaurant I have found for several years.
Had a very ebjoyable Sunday lunch with 4 friends. The food was excellent well presented, fresh and great taste. We initial planned a light lunch but had all 3 course all well executed, along with 2 bottles of wine and glass of desert wine. Service was very good. Now I have found this it will be a regular when friends visit or fancy a nice meal at a very reasonable cost.
A wonderful dinner at La Petite Mort!
My friends & I booked in for the festive dinner menu during the Christmas period & I have to say, what a wonderful experience we had! A fantastic range of dishes and great to see they had so many gluten free options. I highly recommend the Roasted Fillet of Salmon with goats cheese and pea crushed potatoes - it was delicious!
Service was very attentive & the restaurant had a lovely cosy atmosphere - can't wait to go back!
Visited Tables twice recently for quick pre theatre food. I had the vegan beans and rice. Very tasty and good value and next time the salad starter which was good but needed a bit more cheese. Service good. Very conveniently situated for Kings and Cameo
Cosy romantic meal.
My wife and I enjoyed a brilliant evening here this week. Having never been before we were pleasantly surprised by the lovely interior and the fact the restaurant is tucked in behind one of our favourite bars! The food is quite fancy - with prices very reasonable, so it was a perfect choice for a wee festive date night. Service was charming, as were the after dinner whiskies. We'll be back - thanks! :)
