Review: Ocean in Concert

March 12, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

From the beauty of the deep to the bleak reality of dredging, Ocean in Concert is a symphonic triumph. It is a rare, emotional look at our marine world that proves we have not yet passed the point of no return. Essential viewing.

Review: Treatz Edinburgh – A Dessert Parlour on Lothian Road

February 16, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A shiny and romantic dessert parlour that stands out from fading competitors. Treatz serves massive portions of sweet treats at good value. While the venue is impressive, the service pace is leisurely and can be awkward for first-timers. Ideal for couples seeking a quiet sugar fix.

Review: King Pins Edinburgh – Arcade, golf and bowling hidden under Princes Street

February 12, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

King Pins is an impressive and well-organised addition to the city’s nightlife that caters to casual gamers and serious party-goers alike.

Review: Bread Street Kitchen & Bar – a St Andrews Square restaurant

February 12, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Indulge in a communal feast at Bread Street Kitchen & Bar. Highlights include the crab and Isle of Mull cheddar dip and a spectacular sharing Wellington. High-end dining that feels genuinely welcoming and unpretentious in St Andrew Square.

Review: The Queens Arms – a city centre basement pub

January 6, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Atmospheric New Town cellar bar with a unique book-lined interior. Good for pints and pub grub, though popular dishes often sell out. Great for photos, but the stairs make it tricky for those with mobility issues.

Review: The Golf Tavern – A historic sports pub on Bruntsfield Links

January 6, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Facing the Links, The Golf Tavern blends student vibes with 500 years of history. Great for watching the match or grabbing a burger deal. The staff are friendly, if overworked, and the Edgefield bangers are a highlight. A lively, iconic spot.

Review: Fierce Beer – A Rose Street Pub in the City Centre

January 3, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Located between Princes and George St, Fierce Beer brings Aberdeen’s finest brews to Edinburgh. Features include outdoor seating, Iron Brew beer, and late opening hours. A friendly, modern pub that’s ideal for meeting friends, though food is scarce.

Review: Down the Hatch, a Canadian restaurant in the city centre

December 25, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Down the Hatch brings a Canadian feast to Antigua Street. This “Tardis” of a restaurant is huge inside, family-friendly, and serves some of Edinburgh’s best burgers. Great for pre-theatre meals, though booking as a solo diner can be tricky.
