• Scottish and Spanish cuisine
• Picturesque location on banks of Water of Leith

While tomatoes and cucumbers are always punctual at parties, root vegetables are always the last to turnip. Catch up to a great meal with today’s Groupon: £12 for six tapas to share between two plus wine or beer each at The Blue Goose. Blending the comfort of tradition with the elegance of a lake house, The Blue Goose serves up a tasty mix of Scottish and Spanish cuisine from the banks of the Water of Leith. A commitment to locally sourced produce informs a menu that ranges from meatballs to chorizo, all supped quietly near the restaurant’s wood fire or al fresco in the beer garden. Filling glasses over a mahogany bar, the restaurant complements robust red wines with rustic leather couches and rich wood floors. Toasting to good food with a glass of wine or beer in hand, curious epicureans can expect to share six small plates of Spanish-inspired cuisine. After splitting a Spanish omelette flavoured with aioli, guests may choose to dip into dried calamari rings for a battered taste. Customers can then test their taste buds with a spicy chickpea and chorizo soup, before finishing with garlic prawns.
