Girdy & Birdy were set for a night of story-based gaming at Edinburgh Indie Gamers, but first they needed sustenance! Yokohama Sushi had been on the radar for a little while, so it made perfect sense to stop there first.
Eat your fill with food and drink in Edinburgh
Ah, a favourite subject of ours! When it comes to food and drink in Edinburgh, the city is just brimming with restaurants, cafes, bistros, gastro pubs, pizzerias, chippies and just about everything else to tickle your fancy.
If you're looking to dine out, Girdy & Birdy are gradually eating their way through the 'Burgh and updating their restaurant experiences regularly, both on the blog, and - more frequently - through social media.
You don't even have to eat out, either! You can order in, with many delivery services (such as JustEat, Deliveroo and UberEats) happy to bring exactly what you want straight to your door. Food and drink in Edinburgh is always a delight!

Review: Badger & Co is a delightful dining experience
Birdy & Girdy rocked up at Badger & Co for a long-awaited dinner, where culinary delights were sampled and noshed on – but due to time constraints, you’ll have to only take Birdy’s word for it!
Review: Cheese ‘n’ Toasted, a grilled cheese sandwich shop in Stockbridge
Cheese ‘n’ Toasted is a grilled sandwich shack in a shop in Stockbridge’s bustling food haven. It’s a lovely place to get a high-end toastie and eat in the warmth, no matter the weather outside.
