Review: Whirlybird, a restaurant on Victoria Street

September 30, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Whirlybird brings thoughtful cooking and relaxed warmth to Edinburgh’s Victoria Street. With clever dishes like chargrilled chicken with poached apricot, fair prices, and cracking drinks, it neatly dodges the tourist trap label.
