Up for some culinary fun instead of the customary midweek lull? Step this way…
On Wednesday 26 March, Mark Greenaway will be hosting the second of his Bistro Moderne Dining Clubs at Bistro Moderne by Mark Greenaway in Stockbridge.
This month, the menu is themed around the future.
What will we be eating in 2024? Smoking, foams and the unexpected are all rumoured.
Last month’s Back to 1984 menu featured Chef Greenaway’s unique take on Eighties staples such as prawn cocktail and chicken Kiev. The above video shows Mark and his team in action on the night.
Four courses cost £35 per person with advance booking advisable.
As always, diners can also sample Mark’s culinary innovations at Restaurant Mark Greenaway on North Castle Street.
Can you stand the heat?
Looking ahead to next week, it is all hands on deck at La Pompadour by Galvin in Edinburgh’s Caley.
On Thursday 3, 10 and 24 April, Executive Chef Craig Sandle is inviting diners backstage to experience the thrills and spills of preparing food in a professional kitchen.
This is how you will roll: guests will arrive at the salon for a welcome drink and a briefing at 6pm, before being led to the kitchens to make their own first course under the direction of the award-winning chef.
Your efforts will then be served to you at your table in the restaurant, followed by two further courses and a dessert from the restaurant’s seasonal menu – all served with matching wines chosen by head sommelier Peter Adshead.
Places are limited to twelve and cost £55 per head. The Thursday Kitchen event follows on from a successful trial last year.
