Tucked in the New Town, where cobbles echo with history and Edinburgh castle keeps watch, this menu weaves the story of Scotland’s bounty. Like Rat and Mole sharing a fireside supper, each dish tells a tale of place, season, and the simple joy of good food well made. Our ethos is rooted in regional Scottish larder, interpreted with a modern twist. It pays homage to our rich culinary heritage by celebrating native ingredients, time-honored cooking techniques and traditional flavour profiles, reimagined in a contemporary way.
