Two Edinburgh chefs have opened their first solo restaurant in the city with food and drink menus that are built around local and foraged ingredients
Located on Roseneath Street in the neighbourhood of Marchmont, Nàdair is a joint venture from Sarah Baldry and Alan Keery who first met while working at Wedgewood the Restaurant.
The menu features modern Scottish, ingredient-led dishes with “Scandi influences” such as foraged chanterelles with cultured cream or Dry-aged sirloin with celeriac, beetroot and sea sandwort.
Elsewhere, Baldry takes the lead on pastry with sweet dishes including caramelised honey with plum, tarragon and oat.
The drinks menu at Nàdair, which takes its name from the Scottish Gaelic word for nature, focuses mainly on organic wines alongside a selection of foraged ingredient-based cocktails, showcasing their seasonal in-house infusions.
