Restaurant

Gaby Soutar visits The West Room, Edinburgh

Be one of the first through the doors of Public House by Nico, chef Nico Simeone’s new restaurant, which opened yesterday at 333 Great Western Road. It’s something different from his Six by Nico eateries in Edinburgh and Glasgow, with a gastropub theme and comfort food dishes (to steel you through the Christmas shopping bunfight) including beer battered fish of the day, tartare sauce and mushy peas and flat iron steak, chimmichurri and smoked tomato compote. Tomorrow, join them for the weekly Sunday roast, noon-5pm, with two courses for £19 and three for £23. Mains include Speyside sirloin with Yorkshire puddings, beef dripping roasties, cauliflower cheese, roasted root vegetables and roasting juices.
