A dream of a lamb! Best lamb we ever had in a restaurant! The service and the wine service was excellent as well.

A wonderful evening at Forage & Chatter. The food was truly delicious - melted in the mouth, full of flavour, and clearly cooked with love and care. The menu is small naturally, so there was only one vegetarian option for starter and main; nonetheless, that vegetarian option was delightful (pumpkin croquette, then broccoli pappardelle). The service was excellent, attentive and friendly staff, and made my birthday celebration very special. Would 100% go again!

This is one of my favourite restaurants. Excellent food, well prepared. Superb wine list. Friendly and relaxed staff. Great atmosphere and various different areas in the restaurant, so even at capacity, it never feels crowded.Love it.

Had dinner on my birthday recently and was overwhelmed by the food and the service. Loved our waitress/waiter Charlotte and Matthew. They helped make my birthday extra memorable. My partner and I were truly greatful for the little touches (Prosecco, macarons, desert wine). You really made our evening. The food, of course, was exceptional. We shall come again when we are in Edinburg next

I went here solo, and early in the evening to boot, which I'm sure is unusual, but wasn't seated next to the toilets or anything. I'm also truly not into posh food, but I let this place's reviews entice me, and was pleasantly surprised! It is rare for me to be in the "clean plate club," but I swear to God I even ate the pea shoots garnish, because I needed something to mop up the, I don't know, whatever sauce-like thing that was drizzled around the plate to make it have "presentation?" Because it was that good. I think the food at this restaurant actually made my palette more refined. Seriously, I literally grow my own peas now, because I'm trying to emulate the quality of that meal. I hate those people who post on social media pictures of their dinners, but for ONCE in my life, I wish I had taken a picture of my dinner.

Excellent food and very attentive service. Nice cozy atmosphere. Steak tartare and monkfish in particular was delicious.
Food, place, atmosphere, attention, location, all 100. Recommended without a doubt, the food is delicious, the combination of flavors of the dishes and desserts are incredible. The price is a bit high for the portions but it is worth it.

Cozy, casual venue with a nice atmosphere. The cuisine is interesting and creative. Moreover, especially compared to the UK standard, we found a fine balance in the dishes made possible by a very respectful use of quality the raw materials. The menu is short, 10 dishes with starters and mains. We tasted Smoked Haddock, Baked Beetroot, Tagliatelle and Beef Rump, all tasty, well cared and presented, especially the haddock and the beef rump.

Great atmosphere, fantastic food prepared with creativity and presented with passion.Excellent staff that contributed with personality to an already great dinner. They were always present and cared for us. They exchanged a few comments and stories, approaching us with friendliness without ever becoming too much. Quite impressed considering how young they all were. I wish them the best in the careers.The restaurant has a small menu of 4 starters & 4 mains + one large shared platter. Very inviting. I could have easily ordered every single item on the menu!I loved the initial taster of bread and Marmite butter (unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it). The bread was one of the best I have had outside of Mediterranean countries, with a crunchy crust. The Marmite in the butter was a surprising addition that added that unexpected kick and made this opening snack super interesting.Food all tasted great, with a great balance of flavors. The warm and gently refined atmosphere of the place made it even more enjoyable.If I were to identify 1 improvement point: I didn't particularly enjoy the selection of desserts. As it often happens the chocolate option was not impressive (even if quite more interesting than the norm). The other 2 options available didn't capture my imagination but I was told at least one of them was very good.Vegetarian options: Not many options available but they all looked very interesting

Interesting food with not entirely satisfactory ambiance and service. And if the table does not have a tablecloth or placemats, make sure it is at least clean and not sticky.

After months of having this place on my radar I finally got to try it, and it was transcendent.The menu is rather limited. About 4-5 starters and mains but everything is delicious and lovingly made.Service is kind, thoughtful and attentive without being stuffy or overbearing.It will be my pleasure and privilege to return.
