The first restaurant I saw do a special delivery menu for lockdown was Merienda. Now, many weeks later, a host of restaurants have joined. It’s a wonderful idea. Here’s something that delivers excellent food to locked-down, pleasure-starved customers sitting at home, and gives businesses a chance to continue making some…
Like many businesses who have had to change their ways of working due to the current situation, Musselburgh event caterers, Hickory, have had to adapt their business model and are now providing Hickory@Home. Hickory normally create incredible dishes at Scotland’s grand castles and smart Edinburgh venues but this opportunity means…
Last week I sat comfy in the window of 83 Hanover Street, sipping a Sundaytini and watching the rain and hail pelt the stairs outside. There are few things I like more than being inside when the weather outside it high-level awful. I was very glad that I’d braved the weather because…

Tattu, Edinburgh – an Instragrammer’s delight
Tattu, the new stylish contemporary Chinese restaurant, has finally opened its fourth restaurant in Edinburgh. While I may have missed out on the soft launch of Tattu, I finally got a sneaky preview last night and completely get what everyone is raving about. It’s an Instagrammer’s delight.
Last night I met up with Amy at Kim’s Mini Meals on Bucchleuch Street in Newington. It’s an area with more than its fair share of Korean eateries but Kim’s is, I am assured, the original and best. My experience of Korean cuisine is limited to what I’ve cooked myself…
There was plenty of hype around Aizle-offshoot Noto when it opened in August. As a long time fan of Stuart Ralston’s first venture, I was excited to visit.
Every season brings change: this summer, Paul Tamborini left the Macdonald Hotel Holyrood and set off on new adventures. The new restaurant is Surf & Turf, a second outing for a concept that’s worked well for the Macdonald Hotels in St Andrews. I went to investigate.
