It’s that time of the year when dining out becomes a necessity as workers across the country take time out to celebrate Christmas and New Year. However, if you’re like me and are becoming weary of the relentless festive fayre and yearn for something a little different then I can heartily recommend River Life, a French Caribbean restaurant in Edinburgh’s Dalry Road.
My office colleagues and I went there last Wednesday
evening for our Christmas dinner and while admittedly some of us had
reservations about opting for a non-traditional Christmas meal – we could have
chosen the restaurant’s Christmas menu but decided to do something different - it
was a decision which proved to be an excellent choice.
The feeling of satisfaction began even before we started to
dine. We were greeted warmly by staff who thanked us for dining there and hoped
we would enjoy the food.
The menu was a wide range of exciting and evocative French
Caribbean dishes from the Island of Guadeloupe. I had the pork liver parfait,
slow-cooked and browned pork fusion with rice then finished off with the
sumptuous brandy crème brulee.
The other options on the menu looked equally tempting and
all of my colleagues related they thoroughly enjoyed their meals.
All in all it was a very enjoyable experience. The food was
sublime, the service excellent and the result was a group of very satisfied
customers. If you visit River Life I’m pretty sure you’ll be satisfied too.
