First off, we popped in for a pre-dinner cocktail (we had dinner included at our hotel) but spotted the small plates, so treated ourselves to a wee snack too. We each had an espresso martini which were the perfect balance of creamy with a coffee kick and came served in beautiful vintage glasses. We had some posh chips, and whipped feta and beets and knew right away that we had to book dinner for the next night to try more of the menu.
The next evening was their weekly quiz night so we were advised to book. That evening there was a full on blizzard as we ran from our hotel, but Nooch was super cosy. The interior is all mismatched retro furniture and fairy lights and it just felt so welcoming on that freezing cold night. The quiz was a lot of fun, the questions were a nice level and the crowd was friendly - plus we didn’t totally embarrass ourselves which is always a bonus!
We chose a bottle of wine and ordered a mix of dishes to share - ‘crab’ dip and sea crackers, haggis bon bons, Mac and cauliflower cheese, and a Korean fried mushroom burger. The crab dip was a standout; it’s so great to see something different on a vegan menu. My favourite was the Mac and cauliflower cheese, it was deliciously rich and creamy and one of the most authentic vegan macaroni dishes I’ve had. We couldn’t manage dessert sadly but when we were leaving at the end of the night David couldn’t resist grabbing a Bahn mi from the deli counter for later.
Nooch is also dog-friendly and accessible which is fantastic. We can’t wait to visit again soon. Follow @noochbk for menu updates and let us know if you go!
