Christmas present

Valid from early January to the end of February, this offer would make a really thoughtful Christmas gift for the food lover in your life.

Naturally, you could also treat yourself to a gourmet dinner – ideal for brightening up a bleak winter.

Classic Edinburgh architecture

Just seven minutes from Edinburgh Playhouse, this welcoming hotel is set in a beautiful Georgian townhouse – a very elegant environment for enjoying the best local produce.

Part of a terrace of townhouses, No 11 Brunswick Street combines the grandeur of classic Edinburgh architecture with opulent, contemporary facilities.

Great choice

This offer comes in two forms. Both include a sparkling cocktail on arrival for each guest.

Option one is for two people to each enjoy the five course tasting menu at No 11. The menu changes regularly depending on the ingredients in season.

Typical dishes might be the grilled queen scallops with Béarnaise sauce followed by the char-grilled venison steak with saffron fondant potato, garlic buttered greens and a red wine jus.

A la carte

Option two is for a three course dinner for two from the a la carte menu in the Brasserie. This option also includes a sauce and a side each for the main courses.

As with the tasting menu, the actual dishes on the menu vary with the changing ingredients available each season.

Popular starters include the pressed ham hock terrine; Cullen skink soup; the slow roast beef rib bon bons and the roast red pepper pakora with a coriander yoghurt.

The main courses on offer include a venison steak, pork loin chop and 8oz rump steak – all char-grilled to your specification.

Seafood lovers might prefer the grilled whole sea bass or the grilled salmon.

Vegetarian options include the butternut squash with basil and ricotta crepes or the roast red pepper gnocchi with buffalo mozzarella and black truffle oil.

Some main dishes, such as the rib-eye, sirloin and fillet steak, will be charged a supplement.

Availability

Both offers are available 5pm to 9pm, seven days a week. There is a £10 per person supplement payable for Friday or Saturday evening bookings.

Happy diners

No 11 has prompted many 5pm users to leave cheery reviews such as this:

‘Good quality food well presented at a reasonable price, with friendly staff and nice surroundings.’ Rating 4.4/5

TripAdvisor also has lots of enthusiastic reviews from visitors:

‘Beautiful meal. We visited this restaurant for a three course a la carte meal with a voucher we had received as a gift. The restaurant is lovely and the staff are very attentive. The food was beautiful and we enjoyed every course we had. We could not fault a thing and are looking forward to returning again soon.’

The weather forecast for this winter is chilling.

Warm things up with today’s Big Deal on an excellent Scottish dinner at No 11 Brasserie.

As we mentioned, you could treat yourself to a post-festive night out and this offer would also make a generous Christmas gift.
