00:00Edinburgh's Caledonian Hotel unveiled its brand new food and drink destination, The
00:06Court, today, 1st day October the 24th.
00:10Situated in the heart of this iconic hotel, this new social scene for residents and locals
00:15to gather and celebrate features exquisite and original heritage features, houses a grand
00:21cocktail bar, lively terrace for dining, patisserie, lounge and is finished with a live music stage.
00:27I went along to try out the lunch menu, starting with steak frites, with peppercorn and brandy
00:33cream and traditional garnish.
00:53Well that's the main course done, absolutely beautiful.
00:58While enjoying my lunch I took in the incredible surroundings of The Court, with the cocktail
01:02bar taking centre stage, drawing inspiration from the iconic 1-2-3 train, the fastest steam
01:08train associated with the Caledonian Railways, casting back to the hotel's own unique history
01:13as a railway station.
01:16Next up on the menu I had the dessert, the Manjari Chocolate Fondant, with whipped salted
01:21caramel popping candy, Baileys and Ganesh.
01:36The all-day dining menu has been curated in collaboration with internationally acclaimed
01:41chef Mark Greenlee, using seasonal Scottish ingredients.
01:44Well that pudding was a great end to a great lunch, here in the beautiful surroundings
01:49of The Court in the Caledonian Hotel, highly recommended.
