On a wet Tuesday a couple of weeks ago, I ventured further afield to Portobello to the Beach House Cafe to sample their first ever pop up supper club. Despite the weather and feeling under the weather myself, it was more than worth the effort for what turned out to…
The Lookout by Gardener’s Cottage – spectacular dining with a view
I was lucky to get sight of one of Edinburgh’s most anticipated restaurant openings last night, the Lookout by Gardener’s Cottage. The first ever restaurant on Calton Hill, with breath-taking views across the Firth of Forth and the city skyline, it opened on Saturday and its spectacular; although my pictures won’t do the views justice, with too much reflection of people in the glass windows.
In short, you should go to Konkana. Spoiler alert; the quality of the food is well above your average Indian experience, yet casual enough to avoid being dubbed ‘fine dining.’ Reasonably priced meals with a focus on seafood, accompanied by an excellent wine list, make for a delectable evening of…
The vaulted ceilings of Black Pig and Oyster in Leith’s Commercial Quay are gorgeous.

A long time ago, the unit that now houses Mumbai Street Food was a Mongolian barbecue place. I remember it: dark, awkwardly long, full of people mixing flavours as if there was no tomorrow. The size of the unit hasn’t changed but what’s served and the ambience has. You can…
A couple of weeks ago we went to Bruntsfield to have lunch at Thrive, but I had been tempted by the menu at Seeds for the Soul. Both menus appealed, but i had a hankering for comfort food: Caroline had set her heart on Thrive. We agreed to Seeds for…
St. Andrews Brewing Company has been in place on Potter Row for almost a year. It’s in a unit that has seen various pubs and restaurants over the years, most recently The Potting Shed. I went here when it was called The Wool Pack way back when. Last week, I…
Beetroot cured salmon with pickled kholrabi, home-made ravioli with butternut squash, parmesan and chilli croquette and Weekend in Venice, the cocktail.
