Dinner and drinks at Foundry 39
As soon as I arrived at Foundry 39, I felt at ease amongst the familiar on-trend fittings – wood, brick, steel, light bulb filaments – and the large menu of modern pub grub favourites, many of which caught my eye. The Black & Gold burger with black pudding, double cheese…
Breakfast at Badger & Co
Badger & Co is a lovely spot. The decor is soft leather and exposed bulbs; tall windows let light gush in. It’s bright, cheerful and well-attended with young couples catching up or soothing sore heads when pal Gemma and I stop by on a Saturday morning. We settle in with…
Belted Burgers – Bring It On
Like most experiences in my life, I approach new dining opportunities with a healthy dose of cynicism. Belted Burgers was no exception. Another burger place! How different can it be?
No. 11 Brunswick Street – Local Dining
Entering No. 11 Brunswick Street, you realise the restaurant’s basic name belies something much more. It has a smart, modern interior, with dark grey hues and plush velvety chairs creating cool vibes, whilst the friendly staff provide warmth.

Mumbai Mansion – Fine Dining Comfort Food
I’m by no means a curry expert. When making one, I’ll throw in any combination of spices. Or on Sunday night, we’ll order takeout and eat it shamelessly on the sofa. So whilst we view Indian food as a treat, I don’t associate it with fine dining, nor is my…
Be in Your Element on Rose St
I rarely eat on Rose St, Edinburgh so the opportunity to visit Element was a chance to see what the city centre restaurant scene is like. Upon arrival the bar was jumping with a lively Friday night crowd; glasses of white wine and high heels intermingled with cask ale pints…
In Search of Soufflé
Last summer the Great British Bake Off contestants were challenged to bake a soufflé. Watching them attempt light and airy perfection it occurred to my friend Ciara and I that we hadn’t eaten soufflé before. (Gasp!) So not long after we launched our quest to find the best in Edinburgh,…
