Square Meal Review of Oloroso ?

Perched on the top floor of a city-centre block, Oloroso opened in 2001. It’s smart & modern, with a glass-sided dining room, balcony tables & some great views; you can also eat in the adjacent lounge bar, & capable staff know how to mix a decent cocktail too. The grill menu offers a selection of quality meat & seafood cooked to order: medium-rare rib-eye for example with sauce au poivre, house chips & salad. Going à la carte could yields three courses along the lines of asparagus with olive oil, lemon & parmesan, duck breast in broth with Chinese-style dumplings, & coconut & lime pannacotta with coconut sorbet & biscotti for dessert. While grills remain the best option, prices are pitched high: steak & chips for two, plus a bottle of basic red, can top £80 – never mind starters, puds or coffee.

Ruinart By-the-Glass

So to celebrate the summer season, Champagne Ruinart has teamed up with a selection of venues in London and across the UK to offer a perfectly chilled glass of Blanc de Blancs to enjoy outside on the terrace.

    Went to Oloroso for a friends engagement party recently.
    The party was in a private room away from the main restaurant.
    The room had a brilliant view of the castle and we watched the fireworks and plane flying by as the Edinburgh Tattoo got underway.
    The room was dimmly lit, with gorgeous flowers and candles on the table. The room also has a big screen so we had a slideshow of pictures and music to watch while we ate.

    The food was really good and the service unbelieveable, we didnt have to ask for anything. I will definately be back to Oloroso in the near future.

    Fabulous Food, Excellent View
    Overall, A Brilliant Day!

    Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh. The food and drink was perfect and service was great.
    I hear they are going to start hosting wedding parties, my daughter is getting married next year and I will definately be suggesting Oloroso. The view is amazing, great for taking pictures.

    I have been visiting Edinburgh every summer for the last 5 years. I love the city and always love to dine in good restaurants. I have just returned home from the city and thought I have to write somthing about Oloroso.
    I am so suprised that I had never heard of this hidden little treasure. It was spectacular.
    The view from the terrace looks over the whole city and the atmosphere was brilliant.

    I had a burger from the grill menu, it was a very reasonable £9.00 and very tasty. The staff were very happy and helpful and made my partner and I feel very relaxed.

    We ended up staying in Oloroso from lunch time till about 6pm.
    I will definately return to this restaurant on my trip to Edinburgh next year.
