I like gin as much as the next person but must admit that my first reaction to the phrase “gin-inspired menu” was ambivalence. On the one hand, how exciting! All those botanicals – all those flavours – can only mean interesting cooking. On the other hand, it could end up being…
Krispy Kreme’s aside, there’s a donut revolution happening in Edinburgh, and no shortage of places offering these gorgeous gooey delights that have taken on the good old cupcake as a fantastic accompaniment to a cup of coffee. Now one such establishment, Deadly Donuts in Marchmont, is looking to push the…
Wedgwood impressed when we visited three years ago. I was hoping we’d have a similarly good experience this time and – not keeping you on tenter hooks here – we did. The restaurant is on the Royal Mile, next door’s to Cranachan & Crowdie. It’s a cozy, fine dining establishment with…
Cau, the Argentinian steak restaurant opened in Castle Street back in August.
