What a beautiful space to drink and dine. Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff pulled the experience together seamlessly. Special thanks to Brie who created fantastic zingy and refreshing non alcoholic drinks; an area that is usually overlooked by establishments. She asked a couple of questions and freestyled excellent drinks for me - thank you so much! It was genuinely lovely to have this much care and attention given to non-alcoholic drinks and as a bonus, enjoyed her style/sass. Our servers were relaxed and patient when we took a while to decide. The food was outstanding. Exciting for me being vegetarian to see just how many dishes were available! Our wee table of three chose eight smaller plates of deliciousness. Special note about the Grilled Cos - you should absolutely try this. Smokey and spicy, crunchy and totally unexpected. Desert (baked cheesecake thank you very much) was on the house and we were absolutely full with a wee take away box for the following day. Thank you to the entire team for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I will be back as many times as possible. One of our group has already returned within a few days. What a well put together team of talented people, set in a beautiful space, serving moreish food and drinks.

Picnicka was new to us. Meeting friends for dinner it seemed like a good location, being kind of halfway between both of us, plus she’s an awkward vegetarian (who eats fish) and there seemed a lot of options on the menu. We had a very warm welcome when we arrived and thought the decor was beautiful. I didn’t really get the whole “picnic” theme that others have picked up, I just thought it was attractive and bonus points for great lighting that enabled us old decrepits to be able to read the menu! Happy hour G&T was ok, it was only when my friend got a full price one later that I realised I should have splashed out. Hers was a spectacular work of art, mine was beige by comparison. We went with sharing small plates and there was plenty to go around. I thought the prawn cocktail looked a little uninspired and the prawns had been frozen. Absolutely loved the chicken liver parfait with beautiful, pillowy, buttery brioche toast. I actually could eat this alone for the rest of my days. Every restaurant offers this, Picnicka’s is the best. But the beef tartare I hated. There was an overpowering taste of vinegar, not a fan. The Favourite Husband had the fish sliders and my friends husband the fried chicken. Two things of note, firstly they got stuck in so fast I wasn’t able to get a picture, secondly - THEY DID NOT SHARE. Unbelievable. So my friend and I had the buffalo cauliflower with a blue cheese sauce. This was the bomb. There’s plenty of other options on the menu to return and try. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. And we found it really good value for money. It was a great night, thank you Picnicka.
