Restaurant #15 Shebeen, 8 Morrison Street, Edinburgh

Having passed this on a nearly daily basis, I’d long been intrigued by the supposed delights of this South African restaurant/bar. Safe to say, I wasn’t disappointed. As you’d expect, the menu is heavily meat-based and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have some steak. They come in two sizes, cheetah and a larger lion size. As my dining companion was skipping a starter, I decided to follow and upgrade to the lion size sirloin. It was wonderfully cooked and ably accompanied by delightful chips. One to return to.
