A Culinary Journey Through the Flavours of Languedoc in Edinburgh
About Us
Welcome to La Garrigue, where the heart of Southern France meets the charm of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Since opening our doors in 2001, we’ve been dedicated to bringing the authentic flavours and warm hospitality of the Languedoc region to Scotland’s capital.
Our Story
La Garrigue was born out of a deep love for the rustic cuisine of Languedoc, a region known for its rich culinary traditions and sun-kissed vineyards. Our menu is a tribute to the hearty, family-style dishes that define this part of France, offering a taste of “Le Midi” that is both comforting and refined. Each dish is crafted with care, using the freshest ingredients and traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.
Our Atmosphere
Step inside La Garrigue, and you’ll find a space that reflects the rustic beauty of the French countryside. Our restaurant features handcrafted Tim Stead tables and chairs, providing an authentic and welcoming setting. The walls are adorned with original paintings by Andrew Walker, depicting scenes from picturesque towns like Bédarieux and Combret, transporting you straight to the heart of Southern France. Whether you’re seated by the window with a view of Calton Hill or nestled in a cozy corner, every detail has been designed to create a memorable dining experience.
