L'Escargot Bleu
56 Broughton Street Edinburgh EH1 3SA
Adorned with French posters and with a Gallic-flavoured Épicerie (shop) in the basement below, this has all the feel of an archetypal Pierre Victoire off-shoot. In fact it's one of the finest examples of what locals like to describe as the Auld Alliance, with carefully sourced local fish, offal and cheap cuts benefitting from rich, rustic, classic French cooking.
