Moonfish Cafe

Intimate and tastefully decorated restaurant on Correction Wynd, overlooked by the iconic St Nicholas Kirk. Their curated lunch and dinner menus showcase local, seasonal produce - including fish, meat and vegetarian options. To start, we got the smoked salmon with feta, peach and mint and the ricotta gnocchi. The gnocchi was tasty, but the delicate smoked salmon was overpowered by its yoghurt sauce drizzle. For mains we had the halibut and the bavette steak. Both were perfectly cooked - good sear on the fish; medium-rare steak. The home made tartare sauce was delicious. For dessert we opted for the Basque cheesecake with strawberry sorbet and the coconut parfait with chocolate custard. Every dish was beautifully presented. The cocktails were lovely too, especially the hazelnut espresso martini. We anticipated relatively small portions, such is fine dining, but we left with full bellies! Service was friendly and polite, if a little reserved. Although it was a quiet midweek evening when we visited, I would generally recommend booking in advance. We really enjoyed our experience at Moonfish Café and look forward to returning one day to try a different seasonal menu!
