After eight weeks bringing the flavours of South America into people’s homes, Edinburgh restaurant 83 Hanover Street is ready to welcome guests again with a new menu.
General manager Vanessa Alfano said: “We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who ordered and supported our home delivery venture. It was lovely to see familiar faces during lock down and make new friends, but it’s time to resume service and bring some new dishes to the menu.”
Executive chef Phil Lynch has created a fresh spin on the sharing plates and bites 83 is known for, complemented by vibrant cocktails concocted by his brother Michael, the general manager of sister venue, 99 Hanover Street.
Expect to see dishes like charred octopus, creamed corn, paprika and pickled shallot, and rico-fried chicken, thigh and wing with merkén hot sauce, bérnaise, coriander & spring onion. The ‘barros luco royale’ is a new sandwich – that can be eaten in or out – filled with mojo rojo steak, smoked Applewood rarebit, confit onion and a fried egg.
Phil said: “We’re using the best of our natural larder here in Scotland with the addition of South American flavours. Expect a marriage of these two elements when you come to dine with us, and don’t expect to see anything with too much tradition stamped on it. We want to take you on a journey that is reminiscent of these flavours without being too strict about what we do.”
This week’s opening hours are Thursday to Sunday from 12-10pm, with tables available to book from 12 – 9.30pm. Next week the opening hours are extended from Wednesday to Sunday.
As well as undergoing a Covid-19 Approved deep clean, the restaurant’s interior has been reconfigured to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
Vanessa continued: “People are the lifeblood of our profession, we are nothing if people aren’t able to experience our food in a comfortable environment. It’s our number one priority to ensure everyone feels safe, welcome and has a genuinely good time when they visit.”
Next week, 83 Hanover Street will reveal their new branding and unveil a new offering at and 99 Hanover Street.
