Review: The Oak & Amber, a bar and eatery on Ferry Road

September 27, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Looking for an honest neighbourhood pub near Goldenacre? The Oak and Amber (Ember) pairs straightforward pub grub and cold lagers with pool tables and genuine local warmth. It makes a dependable, laid-back pitstop on northern Edinburgh walking routes.

A review of In Touch, the Indian restaurant on Inverleith Gardens

October 10, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Good Indian food, with lots of main courses, matching side dishes but no dessert options beyond coffee at all. In Touch does well with delivery but has a clean restaurant area generally staffed by one waiter.

A review of The Herringbone, Goldenacre

August 8, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I regret not taking the time to visit The Herringbone sooner, and I’m delighted I eventually had lunch there. The food is delicious, staff friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. I’m already planning a return visit.
