divine...the smoked tomato and basil soup was a culinary triumph...Review
Abstract restaurant is a dinning experience to savour. It is stylish, chic and modern, whilst having a warmth making it easy to relax. Attentive staff and comfortable seating is another plus point. The food whilst minimalistic was lovely, rich and full of flavour, the 2 free courses were tastful. A downside being it is very expensive it was £140.00 for myself and my husband. Also the toilets were small and were not male/female designated. A lovely meal, tad overpriced but pleased i went.Review
Abstract in Edinburgh has a different atmosphere to its sister restaurant in Inverness as well as a different menu. The food was still excellent and well worth a visit.Visitors
