Kyloe Restaurant & Grill

SquareMeal Review of Kyloe Restaurant & Grill

Steakhouses are popping up all over Edinburgh at the moment, but Kyloe was one of the first on the scene (the name is an old Scots word for Highland cattle). Situated on the first floor of the Rutland Hotel, the dining room offers fantastic views of the castle while its interior is enlivened by chic cowhide chair-covers. Prime Aberdeen Angus beef is sourced from Hardiesmill Farm in the Borders, and the result is beautifully marbled meat which can be hung for up to 45 days (although three weeks is the norm). In addition to conventional cuts, the platter loaded with a trio of bavette, onglet and feather steak is a must-try. The damage to your wallet isn’t too hefty either: a 225g rump costs just £15. If steak isn’t your bag, there’s also a decent choice of seafood and other stuff.

About

Kyloe is an award-winning restaurant and grill located on the first floor of the Rutland Hotel. The restaurant enjoys spectacular views of the castle, the décor is contemporary and unique.  

Kyloe is an old scots word for Highland beef cattle and was especially chosen as the name of the restaurant to highlight the quality Scottish produce used throughout the menu. Kyloe’s seasonal menu has been crafted by Head Chef John Rutter, who has designed many of the dishes around local produce and suppliers.

Starters include tempting dishes such as Belhaven lobster warm seafood platter and seared West Coast scallops. There is also a soup of the day served with homemade rye bread and Edinburgh butter. Other traditional starters include Haggis, and a British summer vegetable tempura.

Main courses feature a selection of high-quality meat and fish dishes. The steak menu offers a range of certified Scotch sourced beef, dry aged for a minimum of 28 days. Not only is there a good selection of steaks, you can also find other favourites on the menu such as chateaubriand, and sirloin on the bone. You will also find a good selection of sauces to choose from, and some indulgent sides such as hand cut chips with parmesan and truffle oil, and beef shin mac and cheese, served with lobster.

Kyloe offers an extensive drinks menu with plenty of choice available, from paired Argentinian wines to accompany your steak dish, to cocktails, liqueurs, beer and soft drinks.

Kyloe also offers private dining, and a children’s menu.

It was a delicious meal and the service was fantastic.  Loved the cabbage!  And really enjoyed the little "show" where we were able to choose our steak knife.  One small note would be that we were sharing a Sunday roast for two and wanted it at different temperatures.  Not easy on the kitchen, I know.  However, when we have encountered this at other restaurants, they simply cut the portion in half and roasted the other portion longer before serving.  At Kyloe, they brought the roast to the table sliced and then took half the slices back to the kitchen, at which point they were grilled and brought back to the table.  I would have much preferred them to keep the half of the roast intact and just roasted longer.  Grilling not only changed the taste, but the consistency of the meat.
