Atrium Review

An old-stager among Edinburgh's new breed of trendy eating places, the Atrium sits in the heart of the city's financial district, cheek-by-jowl with the Traverse Theatre and the Lyceum.

This must be one of the most striking restaurants in the city, a bold collage of canvas, copper, aluminium ventilation ducts, flickering lamps and dark wood tables fashioned from railway sleepers.

Modern ideas abound on the menu, which works its way through the likes of beef carpaccio with truffled potato salad, fillet of sea bass with fennel caponata, tapenade and fennel velouté and Valrhona chocolate with orange sorbet.

Six-course tasting menus offers more possibilities in the shape of, say, seared scallops with globe artichoke and dill hollandaise or saddle of venison with potato, Parmesan and bacon terrine.
