Vincaffe Swing Jazz Dinners

On a Wednesday night, the Vincaffe restaurant welcomes the four piece jazz band Swing 2008. The quartet comprises two guitars, a double bass and clarinet and they have a giant repertoire and a smooth and relaxed delivery. The Fringe menu is a two-course fish menu and you get to choose from four starters, three mains and four wines. The red mullet starter served with Taggiasche olive oil Tapenade was delicious, but the sea bass fillet main, despite smelling delicious, was a little tasteless. The atmosphere upstairs at the attractive restaurant located off St Andrews Square is charming though, and this is a must for Fringe-goers who don't want to pull themselves away from shows, even to eat.

Vincaffe, 6, 10, 13, 17, 20, 24, 27 Aug, 7.30pm (late), £29.50, fpp 166
