At Tony’s Table, eponymous executive chef Tony Singh’s team serve up uncomplicated yet out-of-the-ordinary food in genuinely relaxed surroundings. A varied and unusual a la carte menu is available at lunchtime, while the set dinner menu offers great value two- or three-course options. Starters include a wonderfully smoky ham hock and pickled vegetable terrine, and haggis pakora and chicken fritters with chilli and mango sauce, which somehow manages to sum up Tony’s Scots-Sikh heritage on a single plate. The list of mains makes it clear that the more expensive cuts of meat go to Tony’s other, higher-end Edinburgh restaurant, Oloroso, but with beautifully cooked diced pork belly, braised beef shin and ‘cow pie’ on offer, this really doesn’t seem like a great loss. The desserts are just as impressive, giving diners the difficult choice between orange polenta cake, warm treacle tart or dark chocolate praline. Don’t be fooled by the flying pig motif running throughout the premises – restaurants this good really do exist.
- High point: Relaxed, affordable eating
- Low point: Being unable to try everything on the menu

Heard about Tony's Table and decided to pop in with my wife for dinner. Quirky venue which is very comfortable with friendly staff and fantastic manager/owner. Service was relaxed yet attentive and the food was yummy especially the shin of beef with mash & veg, it was so rich and earthy I wanted more. My wife has been back since for lunch worth a visit! I will be back. Fabulous value £20 for three courses and £10 for a bottle of house plonk which which was very drinkable. 5 stars

Stopped by on the way home to try out the new kid on the block. It was a bit lonely being the only table - but the food was great. My starter was fritters of pig trotters and cheek - delightfully crunchy and tasty. My main of wild mushroom ravioli was the star though. Delightfully fresh it had a zingy minty twist to the sauce that made it stand out from the usual.
Dessert was a totally decadent citrus meringue. Not too naughty for the hips, and very very nice for the tastebuds.
All in all interesting food for the bargain price of 20 quid. I bet next time I go we won't be the only ones there.
