Review: Bandits Burgers, Leith Walk

January 24, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Now in the old Kilted Donut unit, Bandits serves up hearty comfort food. From the titular Bandit Burger to buffalo wings and churros, the menu is packed. It’s family-run, warm, and offers a great alternative to the city’s many smash burger joints.

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

Review: The Brunswick Book Club, a gastropub on 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.

Review: Steam Bunny, a bao bistro in Leith

January 1, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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.
