Vinette

You'll find Vinette tucked away on Broughton Street in the New Town, where the restaurant does that increasingly rare thing: it doesn't try too hard. The menu shifts with what's good, built around proper French foundations but with the kind of flexibility that suggests the team actually knows what they're doing. It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a quiet dinner or settle in for hours with friends, and either way you'll feel like you've made the right call. The wine list leans natural and interesting without any pretension—proper stuff, thoughtfully chosen.
