An absolutely delightful small-batch bakery. The freshness and quality of the small-batch is a boon in that it’s delicious and a bane in that it sells so quickly.
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!

A review of Irish Dude Coffee & Food, a coffee shop near Leith Docks
Clean and friendly, with good coffee and tasty sandwiches. Irish Dude Coffee & Food is around the corner from most places but is absolutely worth finding at the expense of the international coffee chains lurking across the road in Ocean Terminal.
A review of Coffee Tepuy, a coffee shop just off Leith Walk
If you’re on Leith Walk and searching for a coffee, you’re close enough to benefit from Coffee Tepuy’s tasty ethics. If you’re properly into coffee, you can do it properly and subscribe.
A review of Café Domenico’s, an Italian restaurant in Leith
Absolutely delicious food, excellent service and years of Edinburgh history almost hidden behind a humble red cafe front. A must visit.
A review of Butta Burger, a burger bar in Lister Square
Nicely cooked and quality burgers, with hotdogs as a bonus and veggie options. Clean, cool and with switches on staff.
A review of The Remedy, a cafe on Leith Walk
The Remedy expands off Leith Walk into a homely bistro. Settle down for a friendly chat, some fine coffee and mezze or Mediterranean platters.
A review of Crepissimo, a crêpe cafe on Leith Walk
Fresh, tasty and clever crêpes from a lovely little Leith cafe. The Greek influence on the menu may well give you options you’ll struggle to get anywhere else. Recommended.
A review of Plantz, A delicatessen and vegan bakeshop in Inverleith
Tasty, super-fresh and entirely plant-based food (although you might struggle to accept some of the “fakes” are “fake”) sold in an impressively clean, well run and friendly shop. Visit.
