TOP Scottish chef Sean Clark and business partner Paul O’Donoghue are set to open a new bistro in Edinburgh backed by a Hollywood director.
Under the Table will be located on Dundas Street and will seat around 50 people to offer a fixed price lunch menu and an A La Carte dinner menu, including a Sunday lunch offering.
Influenced by bistros across Europe, each dish on the menu will be a celebration of local and seasonal produce and will change often to ensure customers experience the best ingredients sourced from local suppliers.

The new venture has even captured the attention of Hollywood director and producer Joe Russo who is best known for his work directing the Marvel film series.
A renowned foodie, he has invested in the project after previously experiencing Clark’s cooking first hand.
The launch menu will include dishes such as hay smoked mackerel with apple and celeriac, braised beef cheek with whipped coffee polenta and a classic tarte tatin with ice cream designed for sharing.
O’Donoghue has also curated an extensive wine list to compliment the menu.
Commenting on the new venture, he said: “Under The Table bring to life conversations and ideas that have been fermenting for over six years.
“We will be an ingredient focussed restaurant with strong links and references to classic European cuisine, taking inspiration from the Bouchon’s and Osteria’s of France and Italy that we love, where wine lives front and centre and warm hospitality is ever present.”
An official April opening date is to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
