Recently I was invited along to sample the new Brasserie menu at Harvey Nichols. A lovely way to spend a leisurely Wednesday afternoon with great company and wonderful food. The ethos behind the new menu is for the customer to be able to experience continuity across all of the Harvey Nichols locations.

The choice is extensive and I opted for delicious fishcakes whilst my companion for the day chose burratta with grilled peaches and radicchio, so fresh and summery. Of course we nibbled at each other’s plates because both dishes were so tempting.

Mains were classic steak and fries, and chicken club sandwich. Such classics seem simple, but have to be executed perfectly. Additions of fresh vegetables and crisp salad sides made sure our appetites were truly sated.

Lunch is normally a light bite for me, but the dessert selection was too difficult to resist. Crispy coconut rice pudding with tropical sorbet, magnificent cheese plate – what’s not to like?

The setting of the Brasserie at the Forth Floor is one of the best in Edinburgh, and ensures a pleasant location to enjoy superb food, an amazing view and wonderful service. Now that we have finally entered into summer, where better to spend a long lingering lunchtime?
