Review: Wildfire, a steak and seafood bistro

November 3, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

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: Paradise Palms, a vegetarian restaurant on the Southside

October 5, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Paradise Palms offers an inventive and delicious vegetarian menu in a quirky, vibrant setting in Edinburgh’s Southside, appealing to both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

Review: Bread Meats Bread, A Burger Classic on Lothian Road

October 4, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

For gourmet burgers, loaded fries and a warm welcome in Edinburgh’s City Centre, Bread Meats Bread on Lothian Road is a must-visit.

Review: The Ox, a gastropub on London/Broughton Street

September 28, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Serving high-quality gastropub fare, The Ox on Broughton Street is a popular and busy spot renowned for its excellent service and cosy vibe.

Review: Landy’s, a smart fish & chips restaurant on North Bridge

September 21, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Landy’s on North Bridge serves up good fish and chips in a sit-down restaurant with a bar. It’s a great city centre choice, especially during busy times when you can grab a drink while you wait for a table. A solid meal in a prime location.

Review: St Leonard’s Bar, an inclusive bar in the Southside

September 21, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

St Leonard’s Bar is an affordable and welcoming pub in Edinburgh’s Southside, offering great food, local beers, and a friendly atmosphere away from the Festival crowds.

Review: The Cocktail Geeks, a cocktail bar in the city centre

September 13, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Cocktail Geeks delivers a fantastic, themed experience. The Stranger Things decor was atmospheric, the staff attentive, and the drinks menu (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) was a creative triumph. A top spot for an Instagram-worthy night out in the city centre.
