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.
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 Bam Coffee, a cafe on Salamander Street
A little treasure of a cafe worth knowing about if you live in the area or ever happen to find yourself on the edge of Edinburgh. It’s not far from Leith Links.
A review of The Bonnington Leith, a pub near Pilrig Park
It’s a little out of the way for pedestrians but worth the walk. The Bonnington Leith is a solid recommendation from me.
A review of Crazy Croissant, a croissant shop in Leith by the Shore
It’s worth finding a path through the labyrinth of trams construction barriers that criss-cross Bernard Street to get to Crazy Croissant. The specialist takeaway is just along from Oohmani and the William Hill betting shop used to be. Unlike William Hill, a counter blocks most of the space. You step in, have enough room to […]
