Review: Bread Street Kitchen & Bar – a St Andrews Square restaurant

February 12, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Indulge in a communal feast at Bread Street Kitchen & Bar. Highlights include the crab and Isle of Mull cheddar dip and a spectacular sharing Wellington. High-end dining that feels genuinely welcoming and unpretentious in St Andrew Square.

Review: Origano, a serious contender for Leith’s best pizza

November 16, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Origano on Leith Walk is a must-visit, offering a genuine claim to the “best pizza in Edinburgh” title. Watch chefs at the wood oven, enjoy the buzzing atmosphere, and eat sensational pizza. A show of good taste for any date or family meal.

Review: Greenwoods, Edinburgh

November 9, 2025 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Girdy and Birdy visited Greenwoods on Frederick Street for a late lunch, at Birdy’s behest. Zero regrets from either party!

Review: Mustafa’s Dera, Dundee Street

November 24, 2024 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix 1 Comment

Recently, myself and Girdy paid a visit to Mustafa’s Dera on Dundee Street – a Scottish Pakistani restaurant we’d been invited to quite a while back, and had somehow never managed to make until now!

Girdy & Birdy Review: Six by Nico

July 23, 2023 by Girdy & Birdy Leave a Comment

Six by Nico is a fabulous dining experience we’d recommend to anyone who calls themselves a ‘foodie’, or just wants to try something a bit special and unique.

Girdy & Birdy Review: NAM, Haymarket Terrace

June 25, 2023 by Girdy & Birdy Leave a Comment

NAM is a fab almost hidden gem of a Vietnamese restaurant, although clearly quite popular with locals – we can see why! And, if you don’t fancy going out, you can also order delivery from many of the usual suspects.

A review of Bijou Bistro, a restaurant off Leith Links on Restalrig Road

January 22, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If French food is synonymous with quality, then perhaps that’s more appropriate as the food here is always top-notch, interesting and rewarding.

A review of In Touch, the Indian restaurant on Inverleith Gardens

October 10, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Good Indian food, with lots of main courses, matching side dishes but no dessert options beyond coffee at all. In Touch does well with delivery but has a clean restaurant area generally staffed by one waiter.
