    Little Capo was a little gem. First the aroma. As soon as we walked in the smell made us never want to leave. The food was uniquely prepared, beyond fresh, and so delicious. Our server was Sophie who made the night even more special. What a great sense of humor and took care of my nut allergy with care and attention. So sad we’re leaving Edinburgh today.

    We had a brilliant Birthday celebration meal, we arrived and there was a Birthday card on the table, the staff were fantastic and made it extra special. The food was also outstanding and the knowledge from the staff made it even more interesting.

    Lovely venue, fried chicken and crispy spring rolls are outstanding! I’m from Australia and eat BBH and Pho regularly and as my first experience in the UK of BBH it didn’t hit the mark for me. The broth when initially tasted felt like it needed a lot more work and I couldn’t build the flavour I’m used to with the herbs etc unfortunately. The beef was a bit dry and chewy, it overpowered the rest of the dish. While it didn’t hit the mark for me, I’m still glad I tried it. I’d recommend tissues on the tables and Hoisin sauce. Thanks
