Review: Topolabamba – Fast, fresh Mexican flavours on Lothian Road
Need a quick, flavourful bite in Edinburgh’s City Centre? Topolabamba delivers. This busy Mexican restaurant nails its street food classics. While not ideal for large groups, it’s perfect for 2-4 people. Service is quick and impressively attentive.
Review: Buck’s Bar: Big Chicken Burgers and Rock ‘n’ Roll on Grindlay Street
Bucks Bar on Grindlay Street gets a top rating. While the Hanover St branch is moodier, Grindlay St wins on food. Expect huge, spicy buttermilk chicken burgers, sweet potato fries, and a fun vibe with friendly, busy staff. Save room for the cheesecake!
Review: The Chanter, a City Centre Sports Bar
The Chanter is a reliable sports bar, perfect for a quick, “cost-effective” bite before a cinema trip. Food is “pretty good” (try the mac & cheese), but the venue is noisy and the QR code menu is frustratingly incomplete.
Review: Innis & Gunn Tap Room, Lothian Road
A reliable choice on Lothian Road, the Innis & Gunn Taproom is perfect for a quick pre-theatre meal. It offers efficient table service, hearty pub grub like a great value Steak Frites deal, and a wide selection of both I&G and local guest beers.
Review: Greenwoods, Edinburgh
Girdy and Birdy visited Greenwoods on Frederick Street for a late lunch, at Birdy’s behest. Zero regrets from either party!
Review: Wildfire, a steak and seafood bistro
Wildfire in Edinburgh’s City Centre is a date-worthy gem. The focus is on exceptional quality steak, but don’t miss the Scottish classics like haggis or whisky ice cream. This popular spot is intimate and high-quality. Booking is essential.
Review: The Basement, Mexican Food and Cocktails
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!
