Sonder

We had high expectations going to Sonder, and they were met- kind of... The dishes surprised us and we especially liked the crispy cod and the sirloin. We ordered the apple espuma for dessert and it was a disappointment- a green-coloured whipped cream. The atmosphere was good, being able to watch the chefs cook our food was an experience itself, although our clothes smelled of food when we left. Somewhat confused waitress but mistakes with our order was fixed without a problem. Restrooms could be more modern aswell. Would recommend to friends travelling to Edinburgh.

We made a last minute dinner reservation here during fringe festival and were absolutely delighted and surprised by the quality and originality of the food, especially since the prices were so good! Plenty of veggie options, local produce and beautifully presented! The staff was friendly as well as helpful in picking out drinks. The open kitchen adds to the experience. Definitely recommend!

Great food and lovely staff. We had friends from out of town come and they felt very welcomed. Each dish was meticulously made and they were very aware of food allergies which was a big part with our group. Not somewhere I'd go all the time because it is a bit expensive for my tax bracket but it was a special occasion and Sonder is perfect for that.

Having read good reviews, on a weekend trip I decided to give it a go. Boy, what an amazing discovery! Everything was excellent. Please mind you; this is a restaurant aiming at surprising you with new combinations and ealaborate dishes, so don’t expect big portions. That said, we ended up paying less than in other restaurants and eating much better! Don’t be fooled by the atmosphere of the neighbourhood, the quality is excellent and the service really good. All staff really young, so well done to them for trying hard to success in a competitive market!

The realisation that each passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.... The tastes are mindblowing at times, and the compositions explore and combine the range of marin and carnivornal flavours. A bit short and narrow winelist in reds with high tannins as key component, but the dessert wine (Rivesaltes ambre) gave a perfect touch to already high standard courses.

Very delicious, unusual and beautiful plates. The absolute friendliest and most understanding waiter. Wonderfully accomodating to vegans (and, I would guess, almost any dietary requirement). Just bear in mind the style of this dining experience - small portions of beautiful food for quite high prices. Savour the experience and if you're still hungry you can always scran later when you get home. Maybe it all felt just a little bit pretentious...
