The Food and Drink The ‘Gastro Pub of the Year’ title makes The Queens Arms stand out from Edinburgh’s many other city-centre, pub grub spots. If there is ever hesitation about eating somewhere, you can always rely on an award to give you that little push in the right direction. This was not my first […]
A review of The Magnum, City Centre
A review by Louise Stoddart After finishing university last summer, I took a year to go travelling and immerse myself in different cultures and cuisines.

A review of Taco Mazama, City Centre
My interesting relationship with Taco Mazama began by trying to order from them via Just Eat. Just as my deal was about due, the phone rang and the restaurant explained that their delivery driver had been in a crash. There would be no dinner.
