Review: Ella – Taste of Greece on Leith Walk

December 9, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Atmosphere reigns supreme at Ella – Taste of Greece. It looks like an ancient villa but serves reliable, standard Greek fare. Good for solo diners or groups, but the tight layout isn’t pram-friendly. A convenient “safe bet” rather than a culinary star.

La Querencia on Leith Walk offers authentic Argentine steaks and incredible desserts. While the sign is hard to spot, the friendly service and parrillada make it a date-night gem

November 3, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A 5-star review of Leith’s Brunswick Book Club. It’s a well-run, casual pub and restaurant with “absolutely fantastic” food. Great for solo diners, groups, and terrace-lovers. A remarkable discovery that’s great value for money.

Review: La Casa, Leith Walk

La Casa on Leith Walk is a lively, bright tapas bar perfect for catch-ups. It serves solid Mediterranean classics, from loaded bruschetta to great veggie options. Don’t miss the dessert specials! Service is relaxed. A reliable Leith survivor.

A bright orange bao bistro just off Leith Walk, bright orange, full of charisma and absolutely worth discovering! Steam Bunny has a small but perfectly formed and often changed menu of exotic and tasty bao treats.

Fayre play is a really fun way to spend an evening with friends or family – as long as you remember not to bring any kids along, you’ll have a fab time!
