Went to the Missoni Hotel Bar Edinburgh on Friday night for a couple of cocktails after swinging by Villager. It is quite possibly the coolest looking place I have ever been in; a 'Luxury Unique Design Hotel', it features crazy patterns and odd furniture all over the place. I absolutely love it, the only thing I struggle with is the high, high price of some of the cocktails. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand how and why they can charge over £10 for a cocktail, but I think given the level of innovation, quality of ingredients etc £8 would be more acceptable. That said, I did spy a Tanqueray Ten Martini for about £8, so perhaps all is not lost financially!
My Biennale was superb, high quality home made fig and vanilla conserve topped with Prosecco for (if memory serves correctly, which I'll be honest it will not after the rest of that night...) was around £7.
The staff are fantastic, all smiles, manners and attentiveness. Even when I asked for a glass of water it was crafted rather than made, shaken for instant chill and with a carved oval of cucumber. This is what Edinburgh has been missing, a style bar that includes its customers in its coolness. Every table was full and most of the seats around the bar were taken, yet with 6 staff on the wait was never lengthy, we were given wee nibbles to enjoy whilst our drinks were being made, and I didn't spy a single dirty glass in the whole bar.
Hats off to you, Missoni - You are a shining example for Edinburgh style bars, and I for one wish they would catch up soon.
Much Love,
