The Best Steak in Scotland! - My search is now over. The best steak in Scotland has been found in a small privately owned Steakhouse on Morrison Street in Edinburgh.

The staff were fun and the place was buzzing with a sense of satisfaction. My wife and I were keen to skip starters and go straight to the main event but after the studying the menus and chatting to the waitress we decided not to cheat ourselves of award winning Haggis Towers to start. The portions were just right and the Haggis was perfect - Burns would have been proud!

Sitting in comfortable surroundings we felt a million miles from frozen wastes of Morrison Street (minus 2 I think it was outside).

Sipping on the recommended Cabernet Shiraz we waited in anticipation for our chosen mains. I went for the rib eye cooked medium with mixed peppercorn sauce while my wife, Fiona went for a rare sirloin with McKirdy's 'clansman' sauce (cream, haggis and Drambuie).

Both steaks were to die for - cooked to perfection and just soooo good. We had an inkling we were in for good steaks as the menu states that they will not be responsible for the quality of well done steaks!

The main problem I had with this meal was trying to take my time over it, enjoy it, and not just wolf it down!

As we had go for starters we decided to skip the puddings although Fiona was very nearly swayed by the Banoffi pie and I thought long and hard about whether to squeeze in some fo the famous Ian Mellis cheeses.

It was the emphasis on the quality of the produce that struck me about this place - little things like Mellis Cheeses and Di Rollo ice cream make a difference.

Fiona and I would like to thank Colin and his staff as we will definitely be back. 14-01-08
