Hi all. A real tough one to film and edit this one today. Fine dining videos aren't always the easiest to video but I hope you enjoy it. Thanks everyone! Of course, I also meant stomach... not bladder. Maybe needed a trip to the bathroom!
Maybe message the restaurant in advance for their least busy booking next time? And explain what you are doing. Though I'm sure you're famous enough by now...
I was thinking that, I subbed instantly when he reviewed the starbar in Glasgow, he has a nice vibe about his videos and it’s the perfect escape from the madness of the world right now.
We stayed at the Witchery in 2019. We didn't have an evening dining experience, but we did have a complimentary breakfast every morning. Breakfast is served in a cozy, downstairs room that has red brocade walls, candlelight, and linen tableware. And we could order whatever we wanted. Staying there is like living in a castle. Yes, a once in a lifetime experience, but it was fabulous.
This highlights the fact that Gary is the people's reviewer,he goes from a place that serves £4 dinner's to a restaurant that does lemon sole at £50 ending with a bill of £110 total. Same enthusiasm,same honesty,same sense of humour..I just woke up,eyes stuck together,can't focus but as soon as I saw the new review I started my day off with a smile,thankyou Gary
I went to Edinburgh Uni and when I graduated my Mum & Dad took me there for a special celebratory treat. That was 30 years ago but I still remember it being one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
And that Gary is why you’re definitely one of THE best food tubers on this platform. So so respectful not just for the establishment’s but the other paying customers around you. Basically the majority of the rest don’t give a monkeys about anyone else wherever they are. Note to all the others….be like Gary!!
My wife and I were in Edinburgh back in 2000. We were lucky enough to enjoy a meal at this incredible restaurant. Thank you for bringing back cherished memories. It was, as Gary said a once in a lifetime experience. We did and do not eat out at restaurants, expensive or otherwise very much. This was a real treat. Worth it.
I don't get having to pay additional side dishes for a main having nothing sided! It's never ever happening in any restaurant in France. A main always comes with its adequate side dish not like an additional hotelier profit . At the dish price, they can afford to give free boiled potatoes😮
Unfortunately because its on the Royal Mile in a very touristy area they can get away with it but i agree £7 for some blanched spinach is absolutely shocking behaviour, especially when the main costs £50 already. Profiteering at its worst.
Absolutely agree. Also, if they are a fine dining restaurant then the chef would know what sides are going to be best as a combination. Once upon a time, fresh bread was also served and a good restaurant would offer a sorbet or other mouth cleanser between courses. Now restaurants want an added service charge. What will they think of next?
Our Gary describing his delicious food review in hushed tones like Sir David Attenborough sitting next to the gorillas .Such respect for his fellow diners. Im so happy you and the cameraman have had a brilliant visit to bonnie Scotland.🍺🍺
I can see why GaryEats is number one across the globe (and yes, he truly is). A kind and humorous Brit who eats with a fork, knife and spoon. Gary respects every restaurant, its' patrons, the food, and his fans with honest reviews and honest critiques. He uses adjectives other than "tasty" and "delicious." Gary continues to captivate an ever-growing audience with his authenticity and charm. Thank you, Mr Gary for providing a little bit of laughter and a lot of love in every video you release. Cheers, from across the pond. 🍻
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment again you don’t know how much that means to me so thank you very much once again and please have a wonderful weekend
Another great review Gary and I love how considerate you are towards others. The food looked amazing and the restaurant was gorgeous, thank you Gary and cameraman for the top notch video.
As a Glaswegian now living in Sydney this channel is almost becoming a comfort blanket. The Starbar for the honest and authentic piece of Glasgow and now, a culturally just as important seminal Edinburgh restaurant. One of the pubs I most miss from Glasgow is the Smiddy Bar on Dunbarton Road as it, like this channel, hosted every walk of life and everyone left their pretenses at the door and got along.
I’m really pleased you are enjoying the videos from Scotland, I have to say I had a fantastic time and I will be back next year, the good news is I have more to come
Hi Gary, my girlfriend and I absolutely love you and your videos. Whenever a new video of yours drops we can't wait to watch it while eating or getting ready to leave the house, only to end up running late because we stick on another! We're both Scottish and would LOVE to recommend a couple of our absolute favourite restaurants here for the next time you're out and about in bonnie Scotland! Chaophraya - an elegant Thai restaurant with a stunning glass balcony that overlooks Edinburgh with fantastic views of the Edinburgh Castles - spent a couple birthdays here and the service and food were both top quality - would recommend the mixed sharing platter and the stir fried chicken in black bean sauce (also 1 Chaophraya in Glasgow and 1 in Aberdeen) The Cotton House - a classy, excellent service and high quality Chinese-Oriental restaurant, can't recommend highly enough, definitely the nicest Chinese restaurant we've been to - located in Denny, just outside of Stirling & Glasgow - would recommend the salt and chilli chicken and satay chicken. Great video as always Gary. We are both 24 and watch every video the day it drops because your channel gives such an escape from the chaotic normality we're all used to, and allows us to just sit back, chill out and watch a lovely man talk about (usually) lovely food. Cheers!
I might be in Edinburgh after Christmas day, never been there so fingers cross I get a chance to be bewitched and checkout Cotton house. Thank you Gary guys..
I really appreciate that, thanks Mike. It has to be fair, a lot of people like the fine dining videos which is why I do them. I do prefer the home comfort though. Take care and have a lovely week
I used to live in Edinburgh and still study there. So glad that as a journalism student, you are giving the place some love, especially the restaurants and bars that make the city thrive! Awesome work as per usual
15:12 so decent and honest of you Gary. Some people wouldn’t care about others why they try to enjoy their meal (especially at those prices!) You’re a top man!
@@GaryEats That is the way of a true gentleman, I think he has earned the title. A real oldschool English hero :)= . Love from germany, you safe honor of your country :D
Love The Witchery, so pleased you enjoyed it. As you said, it’s an experience venue and worth going, even if only once. You are so considerate of those around you when filming. A true gent! 😊x
Sometimes the food and the experience are worth paying that bit extra and that looked to me like it was worth it. Great starter, fabulous main and chocolate to finish - heaven! Thanks for a super video guys. Cheers.
The Secret Garden at the Witchery is one of my favourite restaurants in the World. It’s best to visit in winter and at night, as it’s just candlelight and very atmospheric.
Gary, so pleased you enjoyed your visit to Scotland, loved and commented on your wonderful heart felt visit to the Star Bar in Glasgow and the other videos,We tend to be tarnished on having an awful diet here but it’s great to see you promote our food industry which is quite wonderful. Really enjoy your content, keep up the good work sir.
Thanks as always, Gary, for your enthusiastic and honest review. I would never have gone there previously to watching your video. I would now. It's always nice when you give the staff a shout out.
A real Gentleman as always Gary not wanting to disturb others, you and the cameraman deserve a treat every now and then,excellent honest review again enjoy your trip in Scotland
@@GaryEats Glad your enjoying Scotland as they say the best small country in the world. It would surprise you the price of houses. If you sell in the south of England you will get a decent house in Scotland with some cash to spend at The Witchery.
Here’s hoping I get a chance to visit Edinburgh one more time before I kick the bucket. It’s such a charming city. Thanks for your equally charming review video!
I love the variety of cuisines you cover Gary. Certainly not a place that you’re gonna be dining in every night of the week, but nice to experience something like that on occasion. It’s great to see what else is out there and good to see you’re having some good meals in Scotland 🏴
I'd love to visit Scotland, it's such a beautiful old country. Thanks Gary for taking us along with you, what a wonderful video. 💚✌️ Did the wee cameraman get to eat?
A GaryEats video is just what we need to cheer us all up on this miserable Monday. Hope there's haggis tonight. I need to get out more. 😂 Yaaay there's haggis!!!! Ooooh did we hear cameramans voice? He's building up his part. This time next year you'll be the cameraman and he'll be presenting. 😂 15k more subscribers needed to get to the magic 200k. Will we get there by Christmas? It will be the best Christmas pressie ever. 🤞You're spending a lot of money so don't worry so much about taking up the table space to talk about the food you are eating. £110? Wowsers. Take all the time you need after paying that much. 😱
Fine dining and a beautiful setting. You were very respectful Gary and amazing quality of food. A special occasion and one to savour. Bless you and thank you for sharing with us Gary, much appreciated. Soon be reaching 200K subscribers and we all enjoy the journey with you 🫶🫶🫶
@GaryEats Definitely in the best place right now. Got IV treatment for the MS on 20th December. Xmas will be a time of recovery for me. It's always a pleasure and comfort, watching your posts. Many thanks again Gary 🫶🫶🫶
This brought back so many memories for me! Stayed here about 20 years ago during a very happy period in my life. We ate here but can’t remember really but I know for sure the prices wouldn’t have been anything like this lol. The room was stunning, very opulent and dramatic. Happy days, thanks for the memories Gary! x
Another great review. Thank you Gary. You are a real gentleman thinking of the other customers and stopping the filming so they were not disturbed. Very expensive but the food looked really good and a friendly service.
Hi Gary! What a beautiful restaurant to review, right in the heart of Edinburgh. The entry & interior are stunning. My ex-partner & I must have walked past The Witchery several times on our last trip to Edinburgh, but if we had looked at the menu & converted it to AUD, it may well have ended in bankruptcy if we had chosen to dine there! 😅 Your starter, main & desert all looked delicious. You always give excellent descriptions of the food in all of your reviews & on this occasion you went above & beyond. Given how expensive it is, your comments throughout provided alot of worthy details, especially for anyone thinking of visiting this restaurant & being wary of potentially very costly tourist traps. Well done on the filming. A fine dining restaurant, which is busy must be very challenging. As always, you managed to do both a quality review, while being discreet & considerate to the surroundings. The shots of Edinburgh Castle made me very holiday nostalgic towards the end. 🩷 Your reviews in Scotland have been wonderful & I've so enjoyed every minute of them! See you on the next one Gary. 💙🌷🏴
I have to say, I had a wonderful visit to Scotland, Erin, I was really pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and how wonderful the people were, I can’t wait to go back next year, this one was expensive, but the food was quality. I want to thank you so much for all the support you give me on the channel. It is really, really appreciated. Please take care and have a great week. Xx❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️❤️
@GaryEats Thanks so much Gary. The interior of the restaurant alone must have made for a delightful experience. I'm always happy to support the channel. You have one of the best on UA-cam & a really lovely & growing community along with it. One of the gems of social media. 🌷💙
Ooh Gary you have gone very posh with this one! I think one liked this experience! The food looked amazing and the service and setting was great too. One has gone up in the world. I hope the cameraman indulged too!! Well done boys, you are having a great Scottish 🏴 tour!! 😘
Wonderful review as always. Spectacular fine dining, did not disappoint. As someone else mentioned, that was a free range haggis, you gotta be quick to catch them. Brilliant!
Gary, you are such an absolute and considerate gentleman. Aware that guests around you are paying a lot of money and not wanting to continue so as not to spoil their experience in any way. I think this is a factor in why this community is so special and why we all adore you and Mr Camerman. Big love! ❤ x
So happy to see you are having such a wonderful time in Scotland, and based on everything you bring us, thoroughly deserving of three successive great experiences and so contrasting with it👏🏻
MAN ALIVE Gary, so glad you reviewed this one. It’s so great to see a top money restaurant deliver when as we know sometimes a hard won reputation can be allowed to slide. The fact that the chef offered to serve both the fish and the haggis deboned is such a nice touch. Wild Haggis on the menu is so rare these days and such a treat as they are a real bugger to catch on the hoof. An even rarer delicacy are haggis legs, not much meat but oh so delicious when cooked in cream and garlic. Never seen them in Edinburgh but they are much more widely served as a starter or side dish around the forests and lochs much further north. Keep up the good work. ❤
You are so considerate and always delighted with your reviews Gary . Enjoyed the history and special occasion treat for a bucket list gold stars always for you and camera man . Edinburgh and restaurant look magic and majestic 🎉
😂 ...if you cannot drive a car through it ....then it is too posh and ££££..😂 kidding. I would rather eat once a week and be able to appreciate good food..
Great video as always Gary. Thank you for putting such care and attention into making your reviews and in your consideration of the other diners. Top class guy in a top class venue. I've never been to Edinburgh but it's now on my list!!! From Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. 😊
You are right Gary. This restaurant is for that very special occaison. A restaurant that great memories are made of. As always " Let's give it go" Great video ! 👍👍👍👍👍 Jim and Harriet
Another top review Gary and C.M. , it is mighty expensive for most people myself included, nice to treat yourself to the best if you have the means to do it or if you can commit to a savings plan. Always considerate Gary, like someone said previously your manners and care for others is top notch.
This was incredibly expensive gym but definitely one for that special occasion and if people are spending their harder money, it’s not right that I’m talking into a camera
Gary not wanting to disturb other diners’ experiences despite there being loud guest chatting in the background shows what a top man he is. Is there any other more considerate and well-mannered UA-camr?
@@GaryEats Absolutely spot on Gary...... My wife and I were most impressed when having lunch at the Witchery a couple of years ago. Food was fantastic as was the service and that restaurant just has the loveliest ambiance. Perfect......
You can really see the quality of the ingredients shining through. You can tell the owners/chefs really have a passion for their restaurant, and as a treat, this easily justifies the prices. Top review, Gary. 👌🏻
2 hours after pisting this video 23k people have already seen this and thus a huge advertisement for the Witchery that will only grow. And Gary is such a nice fella hes concerned about the experience of everyone else there! Youre a true gent, Gary.
Sadly I must disagree with the general tone of the comments. Location is fabulous. Service exemplary. Food at least that of the fixed price lunch we enjoyed a couple of months ago was however of poor quality and value for money. No vegetarian options minuscule portions and watery fish pie. You can eat much better in Edinburgh for less money.
I ate there years ago, as it was the venue chosen for a wedding reception. The service was snailpaced, and the lamb was poorly cooked and flavourless. I hope it's improved in recent years, as I was bitterly disappointed. 😢
Charging extra for the side dishes 😮 £50 for the fish 🐠 £110 all up is about $220 Australian 😮 I can get a supermarket trolley full of food for that. Definitely out of my price bracket. The fish did look nice and the desert looked yummy 😊
never thought i would end up watching a food channel ;;; but here i am with my last weeks bag of opened pork scratchings , tesco cheese and onion crisps , cheese and onion pringles , last weeks ham on reduced tesco hard rolls --- livin the dream ;;; glad you enjoyed that marvelous place ,, but a lot above my peasant taste ;;;
All I can say is respect your channel is brill I mean it has sole,and as for you respecting others while making this content just goes to show you are a gentleman well done Gary, food looked to be on point class act 😊
Looked absolutely amazing the exterior and interior. Those mussels had me salivating and the Turkey looked good but that dessert WOW. Not as pricey as it looked. Thank you Gary for some where else I can try.
Hi all. A real tough one to film and edit this one today. Fine dining videos aren't always the easiest to video but I hope you enjoy it. Thanks everyone!
Of course, I also meant stomach... not bladder. Maybe needed a trip to the bathroom!
Just a suggestion but I like James Andrews's style of fine dining video. He does it with the voice-over and don’t think he has a cameraman.
Looking forward to this Gary ❤
Did enjoy it, thanks, it was like being there! 👌🏻
Maybe message the restaurant in advance for their least busy booking next time? And explain what you are doing.
Though I'm sure you're famous enough by now...
I like Gary's style of presenting,I guess each to their own❤
I love how Gary reviews a posh place like this and then the pub that gives three courses for £4. And always honest. Brilliant review as always.
Agreed ❤
Thank you Stuart, I love mixing it up even though I prefer the pub ones lol
A 3 course meal for 4 pound home cooked that's is unbelievable in this day and age amazing
I was thinking that, I subbed instantly when he reviewed the starbar in Glasgow, he has a nice vibe about his videos and it’s the perfect escape from the madness of the world right now.
I'd feel a million times more comfortable in the Glasgow pub than that place. £110 for one person? Flipping heck.
We stayed at the Witchery in 2019. We didn't have an evening dining experience, but we did have a complimentary breakfast every morning. Breakfast is served in a cozy, downstairs room that has red brocade walls, candlelight, and linen tableware. And we could order whatever we wanted. Staying there is like living in a castle. Yes, a once in a lifetime experience, but it was fabulous.
That is absolutely wonderful to hear. I’m pleased you had a great visit.
It really is, the rooms are something else and service is just as good.
This highlights the fact that Gary is the people's reviewer,he goes from a place that serves £4 dinner's to a restaurant that does lemon sole at £50 ending with a bill of £110 total. Same enthusiasm,same honesty,same sense of humour..I just woke up,eyes stuck together,can't focus but as soon as I saw the new review I started my day off with a smile,thankyou Gary
Thank you very much my friend, means a lot
I went to Edinburgh Uni and when I graduated my Mum & Dad took me there for a special celebratory treat. That was 30 years ago but I still remember it being one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
Fantastic!! Glad you enjoyed it Paul
Gary's such a gent. I love how considerate he is of the other diners when he's filming. Top bloke. 👍
That’s very kind to say Katie thank you
Well done, Gary. A great advert for Edinburgh! Well done for being so respectful about your filming! Class!
Thank you very much, Stephen

Basically the majority of the rest don’t give a monkeys about anyone else wherever they are. Note to all the others….be like Gary!!
I really appreciate that, thank you
I wouldn't say one of the best food tubers, I would say THE best.
As soon as I saw he had posted this I made a brew and a smoke and thoroughly enjoyed the 18 minutes .
Be like Gary.. there's a good thought for the day 😊
My wife and I were in Edinburgh back in 2000. We were lucky enough to enjoy a meal at this incredible restaurant. Thank you for bringing back cherished memories. It was, as Gary said a once in a lifetime experience. We did and do not eat out at restaurants, expensive or otherwise very much. This was a real treat. Worth it.
The quality of the Haggis shows it was free-range and not factory farmed, as so many Haggis are nowadays.
This was top quality
LMAO at free range haggis.
Not sure many haggis get to see a sheep bladder nowadays.
I would've gone to The Kitchin in Leith for a fantastic lunch.
@@bhodge9380I suggested this or the scran or scallie in Stockbridge. Leith has loads of brilliant places to eat
free range Haggis lol 😂
Haggis should be raised to run free in the fields as nature intended 😂😂😂
I don't get having to pay additional side dishes for a main having nothing sided! It's never ever happening in any restaurant in France. A main always comes with its adequate side dish not like an additional hotelier profit . At the dish price, they can afford to give free boiled potatoes😮
Unfortunately because its on the Royal Mile in a very touristy area they can get away with it but i agree £7 for some blanched spinach is absolutely shocking behaviour, especially when the main costs £50 already. Profiteering at its worst.
They charge for vegetables and then have the cheek to charge you 10% service charge on top
Am I missing something but isn't there restaurants charging 10 grand out there?
Absolutely agree. Also, if they are a fine dining restaurant then the chef would know what sides are going to be best as a combination.
Once upon a time, fresh bread was also served and a good restaurant would offer a sorbet or other mouth cleanser between courses.
Now restaurants want an added service charge. What will they think of next?
@@RiverDanube What will they think of next?.... Maybe VAT on the service charge!

That’s very kind to say Lorraine 🌹🌹
A GaryEats video is just what we need to cheer us all up on this miserable Monday. Hope there's haggis tonight. I need to get out more. 😂 Yaaay there's haggis!!!! Ooooh did we hear cameramans voice? He's building up his part. This time next year you'll be the cameraman and he'll be presenting. 😂 15k more subscribers needed to get to the magic 200k. Will we get there by Christmas? It will be the best Christmas pressie ever. 🤞You're spending a lot of money so don't worry so much about taking up the table space to talk about the food you are eating. £110? Wowsers. Take all the time you need after paying that much. 😱
It has really been a miserable monday! No not him
That walkway with all the pumpkins 🎃 love it, what a cool restaurant, love the theme coupled with fine dining
Lol fantastic and the theme was excellent
The head chef has been there for 30÷ years,totally unassuming guy ,not many people know him,but we love him!! Go DR!!
Fantastic stuff Lesley!
This looked amazing great stuff Gary
Many thanks Jerry
Fine dining and a beautiful setting. You were very respectful Gary and amazing quality of food. A special occasion and one to savour. Bless you and thank you for sharing with us Gary, much appreciated. Soon be reaching 200K subscribers and we all enjoy the journey with you 🫶🫶🫶
Thanks so much Andreas, please take care of yourself. How are you doing?
@GaryEats Definitely in the best place right now. Got IV treatment for the MS on 20th December. Xmas will be a time of recovery for me. It's always a pleasure and comfort, watching your posts. Many thanks again Gary 🫶🫶🫶
This brought back so many memories for me! Stayed here about 20 years ago during a very happy period in my life. We ate here but can’t remember really but I know for sure the prices wouldn’t have been anything like this lol. The room was stunning, very opulent and dramatic. Happy days, thanks for the memories Gary! x
That’s absolutely wonderful to hear Julie xx🌹❤️🌹
Gaz always puts a smile on my face
Really appreciate that, thank you
Awesome review Gary. Great respect shown as always. Thanks for coming up to Scotland and promoting the great places we have up here!
Really appreciate that, thank you... you're in such a wonderful country
Another great review. Thank you Gary. You are a real gentleman thinking of the other customers and stopping the filming so they were not disturbed. Very expensive but the food looked really good and a friendly service.
It was very expensive, but it was excellent quality quality Susan and it wasn’t right for me to carry on filming
FYI, Gary, the haggis is from Findlays butchers in Porty, and Haggis is stuffed in the sheep's stomach not the Bladder..
I meant to say liver not bladder, sorry!
Where does Findley's catch it about, tho?
@@GaryEats 😅
@@GaryEatsThe stomach it's encased in.sheeps😊
Sounds revolting either way tbh.
Glad i subscribed. Your reviews are excellent!
Welcome aboard!
Thanks as always, Gary!
My pleasure!
Hi Gary! What a beautiful restaurant to review, right in the heart of Edinburgh. The entry & interior are stunning.
My ex-partner & I must have walked past The Witchery several times on our last trip to Edinburgh, but if we had looked at the menu & converted it to AUD, it may well have ended in bankruptcy if we had chosen to dine there! 😅
Your starter, main & desert all looked delicious. You always give excellent descriptions of the food in all of your reviews & on this occasion you went above & beyond. Given how expensive it is, your comments throughout provided alot of worthy details, especially for anyone thinking of visiting this restaurant & being wary of potentially very costly tourist traps.
Well done on the filming. A fine dining restaurant, which is busy must be very challenging. As always, you managed to do both a quality review, while being discreet & considerate to the surroundings.
The shots of Edinburgh Castle made me very holiday nostalgic towards the end. 🩷
Your reviews in Scotland have been wonderful & I've so enjoyed every minute of them! See you on the next one Gary. 💙🌷🏴
I have to say, I had a wonderful visit to Scotland, Erin, I was really pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and how wonderful the people were, I can’t wait to go back next year, this one was expensive, but the food was quality. I want to thank you so much for all the support you give me on the channel. It is really, really appreciated. Please take care and have a great week. Xx❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️❤️
@GaryEats Thanks so much Gary. The interior of the restaurant alone must have made for a delightful experience.
I'm always happy to support the channel. You have one of the best on UA-cam & a really lovely & growing community along with it. One of the gems of social media. 🌷💙
Glad you are having a good time in Scotland Gary 🏴🦄🏴🦄
Really appreciate that, thank you Neil. Truly loved it here!
We went to Rules and Lumo while in London we also went to Roka on Charlotte Streer
Ooh Gary you have gone very posh with this one!
I think one liked this experience! The food looked amazing and the service and setting was great too. One has gone up in the world. I hope the cameraman indulged too!! Well done boys, you are having a great Scottish 🏴 tour!! 😘
One did enjoy 😂 and definitely a great rip Carol ❤️❤️
Wonderful review as always. Spectacular fine dining, did not disappoint. As someone else mentioned, that was a free range haggis, you gotta be quick to catch them. Brilliant!
That really made me laugh thank you, Phil
Gary, you are such an absolute and considerate gentleman. Aware that guests around you are paying a lot of money and not wanting to continue so as not to spoil their experience in any way. I think this is a factor in why this community is so special and why we all adore you and Mr Camerman. Big love! ❤ x
Thank you very much!!
Great review, and your excellence at conveying the meal. Super.
Thank you very much
So happy to see you are having such a wonderful time in Scotland, and based on everything you bring us, thoroughly deserving of three successive great experiences and so contrasting with it👏🏻
Thank you very much
It’s nice to see your conscientious of your environment.
Thank you and of course
MAN ALIVE Gary, so glad you reviewed this one. It’s so great to see a top money restaurant deliver when as we know sometimes a hard won reputation can be allowed to slide. The fact that the chef offered to serve both the fish and the haggis deboned is such a nice touch. Wild Haggis on the menu is so rare these days and such a treat as they are a real bugger to catch on the hoof. An even rarer delicacy are haggis legs, not much meat but oh so delicious when cooked in cream and garlic. Never seen them in Edinburgh but they are much more widely served as a starter or side dish around the forests and lochs much further north. Keep up the good work. ❤
Thank you so very much Nick and a great comment
And I bet that you can't even pronounce 'lochs'. Get some new jokes ffs.
@@apollomemories7399 You must be a hoot at parties...🤣
@@raven3212 But really? What age are you?
@@apollomemories7399 old enough to have a sense of humour. Have a lovely day.
I don't think I could ever get tired of your food reviews Gary. You make me feel like I'm eating right there with you!
Thank you very much Tiffany, I'm glad you love them!
Hi Gary that restaurant looked beautiful.the fish looked really delicious and the dessert tasty another fantastic video as always.
Thank you very much Julie ❤️
Edinburgh is a fabulous city. ♥️⚒️
Wonderful beautiful city
You are so considerate and always delighted with your reviews Gary . Enjoyed the history and special occasion treat for a bucket list gold stars always for you and camera man . Edinburgh and restaurant look magic and majestic 🎉
There is a lovely comment, thank you very much, Sandra 🌹
Good to see how the other half live and I'm not really missing out
It's all personal preference as you've said Dave, I do prefer my home comfort food more but this was a nice treat!
😂 ...if you cannot drive a car through it ....then it is too posh and ££££..😂 kidding. I would rather eat once a week and be able to appreciate good food..
good luck with that
Number One at the Balmoral, The Kitchin and The Table can be more expensive,… Great review. Thank you
I will have to check those out!
Great video as always Gary. Thank you for putting such care and attention into making your reviews and in your consideration of the other diners. Top class guy in a top class venue. I've never been to Edinburgh but it's now on my list!!! From Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. 😊
That is truly a wonderful comment thank you so very much and if you do visit, you won’t be disappointed 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Love the videos Gary
Really appreciate that, thank you
You are right Gary. This restaurant is for that very special occaison. A restaurant that great memories are made of. As always " Let's give it go" Great video ! 👍👍👍👍👍 Jim and Harriet
Sometimes you have to pay that bit extra to have a wonderful meal and some wonderful memories, Jim and Harriet
I have not been this addicted to watching someone eat since the Netflix show, “somebody feed Phil”! I love you, Gary!🇨🇦
Thank you very much for watching so many videos Dee ❤️🌹🇨🇦
The venue looked gorgeously rustic. I could live there! I agree that would be a once in a lifetime treat.
It’s definitely a beautiful venue and at once in a lifetime treat
Had lunch there last Monday and it is all that Gary says it is but is it worth the price? ... YES IT IS. Will I go back? ... absolutely.
Another top review Gary and C.M. , it is mighty expensive for most people myself included, nice to treat yourself to the best if you have the means to do it or if you can commit to a savings plan.
Always considerate Gary, like someone said previously your manners and care for others is top notch.
This was incredibly expensive gym but definitely one for that special occasion and if people are spending their harder money, it’s not right that I’m talking into a camera
Gary not wanting to disturb other diners’ experiences despite there being loud guest chatting in the background shows what a top man he is. Is there any other more considerate and well-mannered UA-camr?
It’s only right to consider other diners when they are spending so much money in my opinion and thank you
@@GaryEats Absolutely spot on Gary......
My wife and I were most impressed when having lunch at the Witchery a couple of years ago.
Food was fantastic as was the service and that restaurant just has the loveliest ambiance.
Perfect......
Gary, that is why you are so special because of your consideration of other diners. This is another great review. Thank you.
Thank you very much Shirley
Easy to spend a lot of money there Gary food looked A1+.
Great review as always mate 👍🏻😁
Thanks Rob, you're not wrong👍
Lovely city. It was nice to visit it with you once again! All the best dear Gary!❤
Thank you very much Andrea
Looked great that pal - the colour on that fish was perfect!
Thank you Greeno speak soon
Lets GO!!!! Always puts a smile on my face :)
Really appreciate that, thank you
You can really see the quality of the ingredients shining through. You can tell the owners/chefs really have a passion for their restaurant, and as a treat, this easily justifies the prices.
Top review, Gary. 👌🏻
Wow, thank you!
Gary really deserves his own show on mainstream telly, I'm telling ya!
So does Greeno and Deano :)
Is that a blessing? Mainstream telly is dying a death. UA-cam is no longer the poor relation.
I am really happy just working with my son
@@GaryEatsdoes your son ever try the food? He had to have been curious on this one
2 hours after pisting this video 23k people have already seen this and thus a huge advertisement for the Witchery that will only grow. And Gary is such a nice fella hes concerned about the experience of everyone else there!
Youre a true gent, Gary.
That’s so very kind as always thank you
Sadly I must disagree with the general tone of the comments. Location is fabulous. Service exemplary. Food at least that of the fixed price lunch we enjoyed a couple of months ago was however of poor quality and value for money. No vegetarian options minuscule portions and watery fish pie. You can eat much better in Edinburgh for less money.
I ate there years ago, as it was the venue chosen for a wedding reception. The service was snailpaced, and the lamb was poorly cooked and flavourless. I hope it's improved in recent years, as I was bitterly disappointed. 😢
Wow, that looked very special Gary. Edinburgh, just love it.
This is absolute quality, Matt
portions looked very decent sizes which is always a good sign, lot of top restaurants you'd still be hungry after all 3 courses
When you put it like that shutup, you make a very good point
6 good sized spuds with that Sole! I can eat... but man, that's a lot of food.
Charging extra for the side dishes 😮 £50 for the fish 🐠 £110 all up is about $220 Australian 😮 I can get a supermarket trolley full of food for that. Definitely out of my price bracket. The fish did look nice and the desert looked yummy 😊
Yes it’s a bit cheeky but it’s absolutely superb
A very posh looking establishment. The food looked very appetizing Gary, thank you!
Thank you very much
Stop what you're doing, Gary has uploaded 😎😎
Really appreciate that, thank you lol!!
I did
never thought i would end up watching a food channel ;;; but here i am with my last weeks bag of opened pork scratchings , tesco cheese and onion crisps , cheese and onion pringles , last weeks ham on reduced tesco hard rolls --- livin the dream ;;; glad you enjoyed that marvelous place ,, but a lot above my peasant taste ;;;
I understand your point, Simon, as it is very expensive
That was a great review Gary, the food looked amazing
Thank you very much Adrian
All I can say is respect your channel is brill I mean it has sole,and as for you respecting others while making this content just goes to show you are a gentleman well done Gary, food looked to be on point class act 😊
That’s very kind to say thank you Nathan
I have full faith in Cameraman! His editing is top notch!
That's a very kind thing to say, thank you MD
@@GaryEats He's also good at putting together the musical montages, doesn't go unnoticed!
@@MwahMwahProductions Definitely noticed and appreciated by me. Lots of attention to detail
@@MD-wv7ee 👍
Looked absolutely amazing the exterior and interior.
Those mussels had me salivating and the Turkey looked good but that dessert WOW. Not as pricey as it looked. Thank you Gary for some where else I can try.
No problem Kevin
Great video Gary!
Thanks so much Emma 👍
