Review: La Cime Deli in Trinity
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.
Review: Harbour Bistro, Newhaven
Newhaven’s Harbour Bistro has impressed everyone I know who knows about this discreet gem. The food here is Master Chef quality, at least the highest tier I can imagine, and incredibly reasonably priced. I absolutely recommend the friendly vibe, the trip to Edinburgh’s waterfront and time in the charming restaurant.
