Square Meal review of Iglu:
Charlie Cornelius is a man with a plan. Not only does he run a tour business (Wild in Scotland) but back in 1999 he took over the lease of a small bar on a side street in Edinburgh's New Town. This was relaunched as Iglu in 2002 – a simple contemporary pub. Charlie's committed to the idea of organic food & in late 2005 Iglu started serving meals in its upstairs room. The menu is completely organic (except when supplies are a problem), changes monthly, & offers daily specials. You might start with a robust parsnip soup, then seared salmon on watercress & rocket with a balsamic reduction as a main, & nicely done poached pears in chestnut liqueur with toasted almonds & vanilla ice cream for dessert. Venison & wood pigeon also feature, while roast chestnut, fennel, mozzarella & thyme spring rolls offer an inventive vegetarian alternative. The dining area isn't huge so one boisterous table can set the tone – but if you're looking for an informal venue with a genuine organic approach, Iglu is it.
