The fact is that I’ve eaten loads of burgers in Edinburgh, but restaurants ebb and wane, and there are new challengers almost every week.
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: Chennai’s Marina, an Indian restaurant in Goldenacre
Chennai’s Marina in Inverleith is a welcome addition to the neighborhood! This vibrant yellow restaurant has quickly become a local favorite.

If you’re in the area, definitely give it a try!
