About Tattu Edinburgh
Tattu Edinburgh is an upmarket Chinese restaurant in the Grassmarket that's built its reputation on impeccable plating, thoughtful service, and a menu that moves beyond the standard. The space reads trendy and cosy at once — the kind of place you'd book for a birthday or anniversary, but regulars come back because the food actually delivers. What strikes reviewers most isn't just the dishes themselves, but the theatre of it: the sakura dessert spectacle gets mentioned by name, servers guide you through choices without rushing, and the wine and cocktail lists are taken seriously. The crowd skews groups and special occasions, but solo diners report feeling equally looked after. Reservations are essential — the restaurant fills quickly, and the team (Kieran and Tayeeba are named repeatedly for their warmth and efficiency) clearly knows how to manage a busy room without losing the personal touch. This isn't casual Chinese; it's the place you choose when the meal matters.
What Stands Out
Service that remembers details
Kieran and Tayeeba are named in 8 of the 15 reviews for making occasions feel special — one reviewer notes they were helped choosing between dishes when torn, another mentions the server 'regularly checked in on our experiences'. One guest even recalls the team's kindness when they spilt their Prosecco.
Presentation and technique
Multiple reviewers describe 'fantastic food, well presented' and 'the most amazing Chinese meal I have ever had'. The sakura dessert show is specifically called out as 'fascinating to watch' and 'bringing so much joy'.
Serious drinks and vegetarian options
Google attributes highlight 'Great beer selection', 'Great cocktails', and 'Great wine list'. Reviewers note the restaurant is 'suitable for vegetarians and allergy conscious'.
