A review of The Queens Arms, City Centre

July 14, 2015 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

The Food and Drink The ‘Gastro Pub of the Year’ title makes The Queens Arms stand out from Edinburgh’s many other city-centre, pub grub spots. If there is ever hesitation about eating somewhere, you can always rely on an award to give you that little push in the right direction. This was not my first […]

A review of The Magnum, City Centre

July 2, 2015 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

A review by Louise Stoddart After finishing university last summer, I took a year to go travelling and immerse myself in different cultures and cuisines. I am now back in Edinburgh doing some freelance writing, indulging in the Edinburgh foodie scene. My food blog and travel blog are regularly updated and document all of my […]

A review of Taco Mazama, City Centre

May 20, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

My interesting relationship with Taco Mazama began by trying to order from them via Just Eat. Just as my deal was about due, the phone rang and the restaurant explained that their delivery driver had been in a crash. There would be no dinner. The manager would contact me the next day to organise a […]

A review of The Other Place, Broughton

May 3, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The first time I found The Other Place I didn’t go in. I knew I had found a pub worth checking out but it was so busy inside I doubted we’d get a seat. The second time I found myself at the door to The Other Place, once known as The Stags Head, I was […]

A review of The Pantry, Stockbridge

January 29, 2015 by Guest Reviewer 3 Comments

In Edinburgh we are now spoilt for good Sunday Brunch spots. However, this little gem in Stockbridge shines out on the corner of North-West Circus place. Opening a restaurant here is always a fairly bold move considering the competition nearby, but this place certainly gives the other eateries a run for their money. There is […]

A review of Prezzo, Newhaven

June 30, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Prezzo has a remarkable location out in Newhaven habour. You can sit outside this Prezzo, on a raised deck, just a pizza crust throw from the water. In some ways it rivals the view from the Old Chain Pier as you can see inland as well as out to sea. Alternatively, as I always do, […]

Review of The Wine Barrel Steakhouse, Leith

June 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Update: R.I.P. The Wine Barrel. It was tasty but has become another establishment to fall victim to the curse of the corner. The Wine Barrel Steakhouse is in the cursed corner of Salamander Street and Elbe Street. The curse is simple; a lovely corner venue, first rescued by the experienced team behind The Compass, but […]

Review of Soba, City Centre

June 2, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve made a note to come back to the Soba Bar in Hanover Street and try again. Our visit was a spur of the moment decision, we leapt in the taxi, quizzed the driver about his views of the place and were safely dropped off at the door. Soba looked very busy, so much so […]

Festive fusion food? Mince Pie Samosa at @sabzi_2021 (newly enhanced with a 9 o'clock licence).
Birdy’s festive dinner @thebotanistuk! A wonderful time was had. Full review coming soon! #edinburghreviews #festivedinner #edinburgh #christmas #edinburghchristmas #diningout #eatingout
A charming pink and green cafe with a clear plant-based foodie focus. @heyplantbae is one of the surprisingly common jewels on Easter Road and is absolutely worth visiting. https://buff.ly/4a7qnfB
If you don't fancy the crowd intensity of the #christmasmarket or the prices then @iceangels_edin is maybe 10 minutes walk away, about a third cheaper for a third more (well, based on my thorough crêpe testing) and they have a #santa mailbox. There's even Christmas Trees for sale up the road. An alternative evening out.
Somewhere new for #sugarsunday as Girdy visits @marias_kitchen21 for a delicious Italian limoncello bread and butter pudding.
The #christmasmarket at @edinburghpalette is on the third floor and open until 4pm.
