Review: Brown’s of Leith, the Shore

December 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Despite the premium prices and the challenge of snagging a table, this warehouse conversion impresses with its intelligent layout, effective heating, and high-quality food and drink options.

Review: Sweet October, a cafe in Leith

September 27, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve found a real labour of love in Leith! Sweet October is a humble cafe with a huge heart, offering some of the best sandwiches in Edinburgh. Freshly made, inventive, and delicious – this place is a definite recommended stop.

Review: Pier House, a coffee house and seafood restaurant by Newhaven Harbour

Review: La Cime Deli in Trinity

January 14, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

La Cime is a lovely little deli cafe in Trinity, just a stone’s throw from Victoria Park. You can pop in for a coffee, buy some sauces from the shop, or stay longer for a little sit-down meal and tempting cake. The deli has been an immediate hit; one visit will be enough to tell you why.

May 15, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A friendly cafe and plant shop, what a great combination, and an oasis of green near the urban throb of the foot of Leith Walk. It’s one I recommend.
