Calistoga Central Description

Calistoga Central is Edinburgh's only restaurant specialising in Californian cuisine, a style that should not under any circumstances be confused with American. Instead Gordon Minnis, the owner, describes it perfectly as 'light, fresh and healthy'. It is considered that fusion cuisine was invented in California, not too surprising when you consider the fascinating ethnic mix there, and the selection at Calistoga demonstrates that, perfectly illustrated by starters that could include dishes as diverse as salt cod and cilantro wontons with lime aioli, and confit of turkey terrine with cranberry relish.

Calistoga Central is Edinburgh's only restaurant specialising in Californian cuisine, a style that should not under any circumstances be confused with American. Instead Gordon Minnis, the owner, describes it perfectly as 'light, fresh and healthy'.

It is considered that fusion cuisine was invented in California, not too surprising when you consider the fascinating ethnic mix there, and the selection at Calistoga demonstrates that, perfectly illustrated by starters that could include dishes as diverse as salt cod and cilantro wontons with lime aioli, and confit of turkey terrine with cranberry relish. The choice of main courses is equally as inventive; how could you possibly resist the temptation of gilt head bream with soft noodles, tamarind and mussels, or collops of beef fillet in a chilli stew with red rice, guacamole, sour cream and crispy tortillas. From a field of five desserts choose a pumpkin crème brûlée, closely followed by an iced banana parfait.

Wine tasting dinners are serious stuff at Calistoga Central, starting with tutored wine tasting for £31 that includes a 3 course dinner and coffee, topping out at £46 to include canapés at the tasting, 3 course dinner, cheese with Starboard and coffee, which must be helpful in sorting out the men from the boys.
