Cafe St H used to be a favourite when I worked regularly in Edinburgh. Hadn’t been in 5 years but was really happy to find that nothing had changed. Terrine and cod were both perfectly cooked, sourdough is to die for, and the staff made my daughter feel special. In times of change so good to see somethings’ remain timeless. More Paris than most Paris restaurants - and it was full !
