This was my first ever experience at a Michelin-star rated restaurant, and it was incredible! The staff was very responsive, even back to the e-mail correspondence it took to finalize our reservation. It's a cozy restaurant. There were only three other groups dining with us, so the staff was very attentive to when we needed more water or if we had questions about the various dishes. We were served the standard and vegetarian menus, and EVERYTHING was delicious. Each of the wines were perfectly paired, too. It was fun to play with how each dish looked, smelled, and tasted. I'll remember this night forever!
This was a fabulous experience. From beginning to end the dishes were innovative, delicious and perfectly seasoned. Beautiful ingredients and presentation. The decor is special and well thought with a story, which is in keeping with their menu. Their sommelier Patrick is phenomenal and in my top 3 with interesting and perfect wine pairings. I wish you all the best to a second star….much deserved and thank you.
From the outside this does not look like a Michelin starred restaurant, it's simple but fun decor inside still feels a little home made, but the food, the food is so good. Fun dishes, a lovely take on how to write a menu and wonderful wine pairings. I think it's always a good sign when a chef can present food I would otherwise never eat and make it the best meal I've had all year.
The presentation, the service, the food were all impeccable. The attention to detail with the ingredients, the textures, the balance of flavors were unmatched. The excellent service complemented the delectable courses.
Wow. We've heard the buzz surrounding this place and it's justified.
Great small dishes presented delicately in a non pretentious manner. Tasteful and packed with flavour.
The restaurant is a great size and matches the mood of the food well.
Due to covid restrictions no alcohol was permitted but the team provided non alcoholic substitutes that paired well.
Highly recommended for a visit. Sure we will attempt to get back when we can.
Utterly fabulous! This new restaurant is a true gem and one which truly deserves patronage and success. The simple and well thought through seasonal decor is the first thing to delight your senses. The attentive and knowledgeable staff are on hand to talk you through the varied and interesting menu.
Fabulous Scottish produce, complimented by other imported produce that I've rarely seen. The attention to detail and delivery of the food was outstanding. The wines too are carefully selected by the owner to compliment each course. Some wines are unique to Condita, being directly imported from the vineyard. All are organic.
It was a wonderful dining experience from start to finish and I recommend it 100%.

I returned to Condita and it was outstanding once again. Hopefully people fine the photos enticing and go to check it out themselves. Utterly wonderful!
We ate here last night and it does definitely deserve its Michelin star. We opted for the vegetarian and pescetarian tasting menu with wine paired to each course.
If I was to taste each element out of ten then it would be this:
Food: 10.
Wine Pairing: 10 (the best ever).
Staff: 10.
Decor: 5 (the place could use a good interior design architect - speak to me if you want advice on this).
We've eaten in dozens of Michelin star restaurants and some have disappointed but Condita surpassed my expectations. The food and wine were overall amazing. My complements to whoever paired the wine with the food. You nailed it!
It's a real shame about the decor and lighting. The place is really crying out for a good designer but it takes nothing away from the amazing food and wine.
Absolutely outstanding tasting menu with first class quality food and wines. The staff were friendly and extreme knowledgeable, it was hard to pick a favourite dish as they were all first class with a great amount of work and effort going into the preparation of each. The menu was fun, it was in picture format and included a picture of an elect from each dish, this sparked plent debate as to what the different courses would be. I would highly recommend and will most definitely be back.

While I'll eat anything, my wife was a little nervous about the tasting menu as she sometimes has texture issues. However, everything was just simply fantastic. I hope people don't look at pictures of food others may have posted of the "surprise tasting menu" and go in to enjoy food and experience.
As one can expect from a Michelin starred restaurant, everything else (decor, service, environment, etc.) were all superb. I was surprised it was such a small and intimate restaurant with only 6 tables. Otherwise, it seems they are constantly changing their decor with the menu to utilize local ingredients.
The only other thing I would recommend is getting the wine pairings (we got 5, a champagne, 2 whites, and 2 reds). They paired quite nicely with the progression of food. I do wish they offered a smaller portion wine tasting, as 5 full glasses is quite a bit, especially with the 2 cocktails we had before.
Although, I usually like to take pictures of food for scrapbooking, the only photo I took was of the 'menu' and enjoyed the ephemeral nature of the experience. Anyway, a solid 5/5 and would highly recommend.
Delightful tasting menu with fun, inventive and more importantly delicious dishes. Lots of variety and interesting ideas and thought put into the dishes. Attentive and pleasant service. Well worth a visit
