“A quick note to thank you for the excellent meal and service provided last Wednesday night, when my party of 10 had a meal at your restaurant. Without exception everyone enjoyed the food and evening - and all of us thought the menu on offer that night was splendid. I’m sure that my wife and I will come to your restaurant again, and we’ll certainly be recommending it to our local friends.”
“I could not fault a single thing.. lovely relaxed, intimate atmosphere, very friendly and enthusiastic service.. and the food was just delightful.. you have a little gem there and I will not hesitate to recommend you to everyone I know aswell as coming back to sample more delicacies in the future.”
“It’s safe to assume that the returning customers are here for another opportunity to enjoy the cooking.. chef Richard Morana serves dishes that are fresh, light and focus on the main ingredients. La Concha quietly demonstrates that great value can come from extra care just as much as from extra food”
THE LIST recommends La Concha as one
of the best places to eat in Edinburgh
“The proof is certainly in the pudding...this may be Ricardo and Angela's first venture into running a restaurant but they are certainly experienced in the art of cooking and hospitality”
Vivien Devlin, Rampant Scotland
La Concha - Spanish for a seashell or scallop - is in fact a classic Italian restaurant. Chef Richard Morana has worked in Italian restaurants in the city for many years, and now has the experience to run his own restaurant. It's a family double act, as Richard is ably assisted by his wife Angela both in the kitchen and front of house. There is a maximum of 18 covers so that Ricardo can enjoy producing high quality cuisine for a finite number of diners.
Expect simple, classic, quality Italian dishes - fish, seafood, chicken, steak, pasta, risotto, vegetarian - prepared with pizzazz and passion. A welcome smile, an appetising menu, cosy atmosphere and fine Italian dining experience at a fair price. What more could you want?
