Review: Eden’s Kitchen, a bistro on Broughton Street

March 18, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A veteran of the Broughton Street food oasis, Eden’s Kitchen prioritises GMO-free and organic ingredients. The open kitchen and pizza oven create a relaxed, picturesque atmosphere perfect for a casual but high quality Mediterranean meal.

Review: Acai Bros, Rodney Street’s Healthy Indulgence

November 12, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Acai Bros on Rodney Street is a go-to for local workers seeking a healthy indulgence. These freshly made acai bowls are packed with superfoods but can be calorific. It’s a no-frills spot, perfect for a takeaway “emotional pick me up.”

Review: The Basement, Mexican Food and Cocktails

November 2, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Basement is an atmospheric Mexican restaurant on Broughton Street. With its Day of the Dead decor, it’s a perfect date spot. We love the tacos (Taco Tuesday!), drunken beans, and churros. Staff are superb, but it gets busy, so book ahead!

Review: 71 Steps, a bagel bakery on Rodney Street

February 29, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

71 Steps is a new cafe on Rodney Street with excellent coffee, a selection of baked treats and a menu of closed and open bagels. It’s absolutely worth a visit, especially if you’re looking for a place to sit down and treat yourself.

A new wine and Italian small plate bar with a lovely, pleasant and polite vibe on Edinburgh’s popular-with-foodies Broughton Street.

With delicious and sometimes unexpected food pairings, Educated Flea is not your run-of-the-mill restaurant but an amazing dining experience that’s really all about the food.
