Bistro Deluxe by Paul Tamburrini

Have you been to Bistro Deluxe by Paul Tamburrini yet?

The chef’s new restaurant opened at Macdonald Holyrood Hotel late this summer and it is attracting fantastic reviews.

With almost 30 years in the hospitality business, Paul Tamburrini has a rock solid CV that starts with a stint training at Marco Pierre White’s L’Escargot and takes in several of Scotland’s most notable restaurants.

With his own name over the door for the first time, this is Chef Tamburrini’s chance to really demonstrate his signature blend of French cuisine and the finest Scottish ingredients.

And this Big Deal of a superb sharing cut of steak plus a carafe of wine is a great introduction to the chef’s new restaurant.

Prime Scotch beef

Available seven days a week, the offer is for two people to share the butcher’s secret cut of Scotch beef. This 550g cut of beef will be carved for two and served with sweet potato and bourbon purée, confit field mushrooms and crisp lettuce hearts.

To accompany your meal, the sommelier will carefully select a carafe of red wine.

Happy diners

Bistro Deluxe by Paul Tamburrini only opened a few months ago and is already attracting glowing reviews from TripAdvisor contributors. We have edited the following for length:

‘Outstanding. If you appreciate fabulous food with first class service in a stunning relaxed atmosphere, then this restaurant is a MUST! Four of us booked for dinner… and everyone was a winner, from the amazing oysters, scallops, to the mouth-watering steak… There was nothing about this superb bistro that I didn’t love. Highly recommend to all.’

‘Superb… The food was excellent… The chicken dish was delicious, apparently so was the steak and the rabbit which my friends had. Staff were so pleasant and well presented. The service was as you would expect for this type of restaurant… A very enjoyable experience and we will certainly return.’

‘Excellent food and fabulous service. I couldn’t recommend this more highly! The food is perfectly done. We had beef, rare, and it melted in our mouths. The bar staff and waiters treated us like kings and we never felt rushed. I will definitely be visiting the Bistro again.’

Great introduction to Bistro Deluxe by Paul Tamburrini

As mentioned, Chef Tamburrini has worked in many of Scotland’s most prominent restaurants over the last three decades.

It would not be a surprise if he earned the bistro more awards on top of its existing AA Rosette.

The dining room is a handsome, elegant space which is matched by the well polished front of house team.

This Big Deal is a wonderful introduction to Bistro Deluxe.

And, if you have been before, it is a great excuse return.
