Thank You for
visiting the La Garrigue in Edinburgh website.
After many years spent in some of Scotland's
best known hotels, from the Central Hotel in Glasgow to the Sheraton Grand in Edinburgh,
where I spent 10 great years as Executive Chef, the time was right for me to go back to my
roots as a restaurant chef.
La Garrigue in Jeffrey Street
opened in 2001. Largely inspired by my country upbringing in Languedoc, La Garrigue offers
rustic family style cooking, complimented by a large selection of the best wines from this
area of France known as "Le Midi". It features rustic Tim Stead tables and
chairs as well as original paintings by Andrew Walker from my home town Bedarieux and my
village Combret.
Since then, after many awards including an endorsement by celebrity chef; Gordon
Ramsay, La Garrigue has expanded to Leith at 88 Commercial Street under the name of La
Garrigue Bistro.
While themed around the Languedoc food and wines, the restaurants are different. Jeffrey
Street is a cross between an up market restaurant and a bistro where Michael and his team
will give you that "Je ne sais quoi" experience. |

The Bistro version of La Garrigue in Leith is for fun and families, the terrace,
weather permitting, is a great place to enjoy a "Tarte Flambee" (French pizza)
and other French snacks, while in the conservatory, Morgan and his team will make sure you
have a good relaxing time whether early in the morning with a croissant and a cup of
coffee or in the middle of the afternoon with our all day menu. In the evening you may
enjoy a Cabaret dinner, celebrating French classics like Piaf, Brel or Brassens.
