Girdy & Birdy had a meeting down Newington way, and decided to see what was around the area for a bite to eat afterwards. It worked out extremely well when they found Kim’s Mini Meals!
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: Fiver Pizza, a pizza takeaway on Easter Road

Review: Yokohama Sushi, Dalziel Place
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.
