6 Reviews on “Itchycoo – Radisson Blu Hotel”
We booked one of the living social high teas for this place and the staff could not have been more accommodating. An hour before we arrived we called to ask if we could add an extra person (for an additional cost), which they were happy to do. The food is presented beautifully on little wooden risers, with a good selection of sandwiches and cakes, even for vegetarians! We especially loved the miniature banoffee pies.Service was friendly and the team boxed up our left overs (we were stuffed) to take away. Well worth the money.
I went here for afternoon tea with mum and while it was good, I have had better. The sandwich choice was slightly limited, however they did make a big effort to take my mums dairy allergy into account. The food was very tasty and the service was good, they even gave us boxes to take some of our cakes to go. fashionpolaroids.co.uk
We were recently invited down to Itchycoo Bar to try out their new Sea, Field, Farm and Heaven menu. We’d previously overlooked this bar as an add-on to the Radisson Blu Hotel, situated on the Royal Mile. Not that we have anything against hotels, we love nothing more than an overnight stay, it’s just that we don’t often visit them only for food.To help peruse the menu we ordered a couple of cocktails. It was early evening and there was no hangover in sight, in spite of this EdinBloggette ordered a tabasco fuelled Bloody Mary – how adventurous, I played things safe with a mojito.EdinBloggette was over the moon with her drink, I tried a bit but the overwhelming taste of pizza in a glass is just too much for me. I just don’t understand this drink, it always tastes so bitter. I was, however, very taken by the slice of lemon with cloves, how pretty. My drink was delicious and as far from pizza as possible, we both found common ground on this.My starter from the Field was HUGE, a simple chicken and mango salad, the mango was sweet and moreish, whilst the chilli dressing added a little smile to my face. My dining partner ordered a slate of juicy tiger prawns and oak smoked salmon from the Sea. It turned out that EdinBloggette was in heaven two courses too soon, she was loving every bite.I’d never acquired the taste for salmon (cold fish doesn’t do it for me), but I did try a little on this occasion, I think I’m a convert – this was truly scrumptious salmon.For my main, I moved over to the Sea for a classic – Fish and Chips. The chips were fantastic, crisp and fluffy! The fish was covered in a light batter and cooked perfectly, part of the batter was a little on the soggy side (mostly the underside), but I wasn’t complaining as the fish was still delish.EdinBloggette ensured we visited all areas of the menu by ordering from the Farm. Chicken and Haggis isn’t something my partner in crime would usually order, but Itchycoo turned out to be a place of experimentation, the chicken was lovely and moist and the haggis was rich and earthy. The whisky sauce complemented each element and brought the dish together, a perfect combination, bring on the bagpipes.We couldn’t finish all of our mains, that’s not to say we didn’t enjoy them, we had to make a little room for Heaven – a trio of desserts, the chocolate milkshake was a little unusual, resembling melted ice cream in a cup. The cone was the perfect size and the ice cream was so yummy, the blancmange was also pretty tasty, very light with a hint of citrus – we had to fight over the malteser (I won).We arrived hungry and left at maximum capacity, next time we visit we’ll probably only order two courses. I’d order the chicken and mango salad any day of the week, as for EdinBloggette, she’s keen to return for more of that salmon.It’ll be interesting to see how busy Itchycoo gets during the Fringe, we’ll certainly be back for a couple of cocktails and a bite to eat to escape the madness.For full review, please visit:http://www.edinblogger.com/2014/itchycoo-bar-sea-field-farm-heaven/ edinbraw.com
The salad with chicken, avocado and mango was excellent. Nice atmosphere, great service.
Eh.. I had a quick bit–aubergine sandwich and skinny fries. The sandwich tasted ok, but was soggy. The fries were too salty and were a little stale tasting. Not horrible, not great.
Nice Tapas. We stopped in and had a few tapas based bites. The selection of Scottish cheeses was nice to give a basic glance at some regional specialties. Nice atmosphere.
