What Katie W doesn't like about La Potiniere:
We went to La Potiniere last night to celebrate my husband's birthday. Service was incredibly slow, we arrived at 7 and had our amuse bouche an hour later (soup was lovely pumpkin seed bread was bitter). Starters eventually came and the courgette and feta tart was actually a pastry disc with veg etc on. Fine but not fine dining. Main courses were tasty, except the fish was well overcooked. We left at that point so ca... View all feedback. What User likes about La Potiniere:

La Potiniere offers a mixed dining experience, with some diners enjoying exceptional food and service while others leaving disappointed. The atmosphere is lacking, but the food quality varies from mushy sole to delightful dishes like a blackcurrant panna cotta. Service can be slow, especially at busy times, but the cozy environment and elegant table settings add to the charm. Overall, the restaurant is worth a visit for those seeking a unique, intimate dining experience with solid food options and reasonable wine prices. Make reservations in advance to secure a spot at this popular East Lothian establishment.
