A review of Passey’s, a cafe bar and bistro in Portobello

March 31, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A fantastic small restaurant on Portobello high street that’s reason enough to visit Edinburgh’s seaside town. The food is incredible, staff friendly and the venue warm and fun. And they do coffee.

A review of The Bonnington Leith, a pub near Pilrig Park

A review of The Herringbone, Goldenacre

August 8, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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.

Edinburgh gets excited by all sorts of things!
Books 📚 and beer 🍺 Two of my MANY weaknesses together as @argonautbooks at @moonwakebeer #leith this weekend!
Aaaah! Imagine the delicious willpower of @tastybunsbakery being at the @moonwakebeer market this weekend. They are!
A bit of imagination on offer from @luna_edinburgh for the @moonwakebeer event. I'm not too much of a believer but using #tarot to guide your thoughts is an interesting technique.
Imagine how amazing Calton Hill's #GiraffeAboutTown will look in the right light!
Let's keep Edinburgh green!
