Paperino's @ 78
The latest instalment in the thriving Paperino's series, this place won't disappoint any fans of the other restaurants in the city centre and West End. In a prime location, the building was previously a bank, so feels delightfully grand without being too imposing. Having been open for less than two years, business is already booming. Cosy booths on the ground floor and a sophisticated mezzanine area make clever and stylish use of the space, and a private room at the back is perfect for business lunches or families and friends wishing to catch up over a great meal. A newly installed bar at the front serves all manner of fabulous drinks, including some unusual and exciting cocktails.
The Paperino's ethos of providing freshly prepared food and excellent service is upheld here. Try an unusual but seriously authentic Italian dish of tagliatelle nere (black strips of pasta) with beautifully fresh squid, mussels, king prawns, clams and langoustines. The beefburger is satisfyingly hearty, homemade and served in a sesame-seed bun with optional cheese and creamy peppercorn sauce, salad and fries. There are great options for vegetarians too, and the kids will be happy with their own menu. For a bit of luxury with dessert, treat yourself to a bottle of merlot Fontana Candida - a plush and rounded cherry and plum wine with a soft and juicy character. Perfection.
