Another gem to add to the growing collection of Edinburgh's best kept secrets, however on this occasion you would be forgiven for never having heard of the Roseleaf. Situated less than 5 minutes walk from Ocean Terminal, but located right slap bang in the middle of a mini-industrial site complete with cobble road and newly-constructed flats, this pub somewhat reminded me of the movie, Batteries Not Included (would love to see the amount of confused faces after reading THAT!), and the final image of this classic rundown 80s diner and apartment block dwarfed by neighbouring skyscrapers!\n\nAnyway I digress - not uncommon for me - so back to it. Yes, the Roseleaf establishment looks like the last surviving remnant of a once-bustling Leith neighbourhood, now reduced to rubble in the wake of a modern overhaul. Whether this is a testament to the quality of the venue, I do not know, but quality it is and remain it does.\n\nInitially my reaction was disappointment; don't get me wrong, the venue was clean, the d\u00e9cor interesting, cosy and inviting, the staff friendly and the music suitably ambient. The atmosphere was also.... present (I imagine Roseleaf garners its fair share of locals throughout both week and weekend, so for a Wednesday afternoon/evening it was probably about as busy as can be expected). No, the disappointment came from learning that the seasonal Teatime Menu had changed the day before..... and they had NOT updated the website to reflect this. And yes, the 4 dishes I had seen online only hours before, and was weighing up which one to have, had all vanished from sight!\n\nGutted.....\n\nNow understand the Spring Menu was absolutely fine. I had Mackerel Pate to start and a cracking Roast Leg of Chicken doused in red wine jus and an assortment of accompaniments including black pudding (Spring food?) and chorizo. My disappointment only stemmed from the expectation of being 2 days late for a date with a Pork Belly, Rabbit Loin, Venison Pie or Haggis, Neeps & Tatties!! All extremely tempting dishes from the Winter Menu.\n\nWord of warning: Do NOT trust the online menu. Not yet anyway. Winter is still on show and you will want to go through it! Yes, even the Mushroom & Ricotta Cheescake.... and I'm the furthest thing from veggie on this planet!\n\nSo overall Roseleaf has the potential to be a cracker. Would be interesting to head down on a weekend maybe and see it in busier climes. And its proximity to Ocean T makes it the perfect dinner-and-movie destination on a school night.... only next time I won't be venturing in with expectations in my pocket!\n\nAlthough they've now given me a reason to look forward to next winter... hurry up Summer! Move along!!
