LSH had\u00a0\u00a0Tempura chilli squid in a batter so light it was melt in the mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Main courses. Well the seafood platter caused a sensation when it was produced from the kitchen. Sometimes words don&#8217;t cut it. Just have a look at this!<\/p>\n<p>See!\u00a0\u00a0A banquet of crustaceans was pawed at, cracked open, sucked\u00a0and swallowed\u00a0by\u00a0all of us &#8211; bar one. One\u00a0bloke, \u00a0a strapping farmer from Dingwalll, \u00a0was allergic to fish.\u00a0 The special of the day? Roast rib of beef from Inverurie. Carnivores and fish fiends alike this is sustainable, traceable food of a quality that\u00a0makes this a must go restaurant. Take your mother, brother, lover, husband, wife, friends, pick up a stranger, \u00a0sit at the seafood bar for a snack on your tod\u00a0or spend hours\u00a0indulging\u00a0for a special occasion but whatever you do, do yourself a favour.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ondinerestaurant.co.uk\">www.onedinerestaurant.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>George IV Bridge, Edinburgh.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 0131 226 1888<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proprietor Roy Brett.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ondine.
