We visited La Petite Mort recently (Click here for our review) and liked their fusion of flavours. Some a bit more daring than others but worth a try for something a bit different.
The restaurant is located beside the King’s Theatre in Edinburgh’s Tollcross, so is easy to reach by foot or bus.
They are launching their Spring menu on Thursday 16 March with a wine dinner in conjunction with South African winery Durbanville Hills.
Albert Gerder, MD of the winery which is located near Cape Town and looks over to Table Mountain, will talk guests through wines matched with the three-course meal prepared by Head Chef Neil Connor.
The dinner starts at 7 pm. The cost is £35 each. For reservations call 0131 229 3693 or email info@lapetitemortedinburgh.co.uk
Starter: Leek-wrapped duck, foie gras and pistachio terrine with a print and port puree and pickled radicchio
Main: Roast pork belly with black pudding and basil-mashed potato, smoked pork collar croquette, buttered kale and honey & apple jus
Dessert: Passionfruit bavarois with meringue spikes and elderflower & summer berries jelly.
