SEAFOOD & SPARKLING LUNCH

On Sunday, 3rd September, we’re ending the festival on a high and serving a tantalising Sparkling & Seafood lunch here at Leftfield. Because who doesn’t love bubbles?

Starting at 12.30 we’ll be romantically traipsing across Europe with Sommelier, Isobel Salamon of to hear stories of history, how sparkling wines came to be and why some taste very different to others. From female trailblazers, to small family run producers and then those doing brilliant things for the environment we'll discover it all while tasting five delicious glasses of sparkling wine, alongside five expertly crafted dishes.

Tickets include:
12.30 - 3pm, Sunday, 3rd September
£85 per person:
5 x Different Sparkling Wines (including Crémant, Champagne, Cava and more)
5 x Expertly Crafted Dishes; and,
A fun filled journey through sparkling wine that'll have you floating into your evening.

Wow! We are newly listed in the Michelin Guide to Edinburgh. As one of the 30 restaurants listed for Edinburgh we are delighted to be in some very good company! Thanks

‘Honest, intimate and sweet, this is a proper neighbourhood restaurant which focuses on the country's delicious seafood. Straightforward options from Scottish waters kick things off, with fresh mussels and oysters sitting alongside the likes of a zingy crispy squid with gochujang mayo. Comforting and flavoursome main dishes pair well with the homely surroundings, where you can relax with some super views of Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows.’
