The staff were amazing & ensured that we were kept topped up with drinks etc. We were served by the wonderful Lucy who always makes our visits pleasurable with her friendly attentive attitude. This is the second year we have done christmas eve dinner here & it's now our new tradition as it does not disappoint. 10 out of 10.

    Our favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. Superb French cuisine, excellent wine list and a comfortable homely feel. Would recommend La Garrigue for a small gathering, a family get-together or to experience great French cooking.
