One of Edinburgh's top restaurants is putting a Latin twist on its festive dining experience this year with the launch a new lunch and dinner 'Christmas Fiesta' sharing menu inspired by South American cuisine.

From December until Hogmanay, Superico Restaurant at 83 Hanover Street in Edinburgh's New Town, is putting its unique spin on the festive sharing menu for small groups of up to six people.

Dishes include Superico's infamous sashimi seabream, rabbit, flat iron steak with mojo rojo and chimichurri, adobo glazed spatchcock chicken, as well as festive-favourite sides of crispy serrano ham sprouts with and agave roasted vegetables. Latin-style desserts include crema catalana with mango, passionfruit and guava.

The new 'Christmas Fiesta' sharing menu has been specially created by Head chef, Scott Wyse. The style of food at Superico is influenced by the big, bold flavours of South America, which Scott has experienced first-hand on his travels south of the equator in recent years.
