Ondine Oyster & Grill has said it has “completely transformed the entire look and feel of the restaurant” as it reopens in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
Following a full refurbishment to the restaurant, oyster bar and private dining area, Ondine, renowned for its Scottish seafood, said it will have more of a focus on meat with its new robata grill – cooking over hot charcoal on an open fireplace which intensifies the flavour and adds a different texture to the meat and fish.
The name of the restaurant has also been adapted to “Ondine Oyster & Grill” to reflect more meat being slowly introduced to the menu.
The exterior is currently fully covered in scaffolding which will be in place until at least early next year, and which has prompted the award-winning restaurant to change its entire appearance, it said.

After undergoing a full transformation, the space has been converted "to emulate a ship at sea".
It has launched a new seasonal food menu and wine list as well as a oyster and cocktail menu for its bar area.
Roy Brett, chef and owner, said: "We maybe can’t control what is happening outside the restaurant but what we can control is what is happening inside, and we have created a unique dining experience with honest seasonal integrity at the fore.
“We have completely changed the entire look and feel of the place and we are really looking forward to sharing the experience with you all as we re-open and welcome you back to Ondine Oyster & Grill.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
