An opening party was held on Sunday evening at the newest restaurant in the New Town, Under the Table which is owned by chef Sean Clark who set up The Table just upstairs, and his business partner, former wine merchant Paul O’Donoghue.
As well as the champagne and canapés the star guest of the night was Joe Russo, a Hollywood director who has invested in the new venture after being so impressed with the food he enjoyed at The Table upstairs.
The restaurant will offer a fixed price lunch and à la carte dinner with seasonal changes in a more relaxed bistro atmosphere than their fine dining brother upstairs.
The promise is that this will be “an ingredient-focussed restaurant with strong links and references to classic European cuisine, taking inspiration from the Bouchon’s and Osteria’s of France and Italy that we love, where wine lives front and centre and warm hospitality is ever present”.
Each dish on the menu will be a celebration of carefully considered local and seasonal produce and will change often to ensure customers are experiencing only the best ingredients sourced from the restaurant’s carefully curated local suppliers.
Bookings can be made for Under The Table from Thursday 25 April through the website https://underthetable.uk
