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: Halloween afternoon tea at Mimi’s Bakehouse, Leith
I got really excited when I saw Mimi’s Bakehouse advertising a special Halloween afternoon tea, and knew that it wouldn’t take much persuading to get Girdy onboard for that one, either! Hence, this is something the both of us had really been looking forward to.
Review: Twenty’s More than Plenty at this Princes Street Restaurant
Birdy headed to the award-winning Twenty Princes Street to check out the contemporary Scottish menu – and she took her family with her! I hadn’t heard a lot about Twenty Princes Street; it was my partner who had drawn attention to it when looking for somewhere nice and central (based in Hotel Indigo) to venture […]
Review: ChicKing, a fried chicken restaurant in Leith
A halal KFC-style franchise from the UAE with friendly staff, an expansive menu of chicken options and, when I went, teething troubles.
A review of Riddles alcoholic ice tea
Riddles Mango Ice Tea and Riddles Lemon Ice Tea are both light, refreshing and slyly acholic. Available in Sainsbury’s, these drinks are party-worthy and conversation-starting alternatives worth taste testing.
