A delicious and friendly cafe and bakery which opens early enough to pop in for pre-work breakfast and sells a tempting range of plant-based treats and meals. Green Bite Cafe & Bakery is strongly recommended for this busy commuter corner of Edinburgh.
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!

I’d been casually aware of The Botanist for a short time – and had actually tried to book dinner there one night with a couple of my ladies when […]
Review: Plant Bae, a plant-based cafe on Easter Road

Review: Maki & Ramen, Fountainbridge
Girdy & Birdy went to Maki & Ramen, Fountainbridge, to take advantage of the Scotland Loves Anime 20% off when they brought along their printed tickets! The restaurant is so convenient for The Cameo, so this was a huge win.
