The diners all agreed this was the best Sunday lunch in a long time. Why didn’t we have roast beef and Yorkshire pudding more often? It ŵas a firm fixture of our childhood. The fact that it happened to be a Tuesday evening and that this was the FIFTH meat…
Zuhu’s is a fairly new peri peri chicken restaurant well-located on South Bridge. The menu is in the same vein as other similar restaurants, with a range of different spice levels to choose from. You can choose between a quarter, half, or whole chicken as well as wings, wraps, and…
Let me preface this review by saying that I love bubble tea. For those of you who are unaware of bubble tea, it is a chilled drink that can be made with either tea or milk powder, and which has “pearls” or “bubbles” (usually tapioca) added to it. I first…
Imagine going into a bar in your town and you find rubbish strewn across the floor. You’d probably walk straight out, wouldn’t you? Not in the Basque Country. This is a sign that the bar serves very good pintxos. These are small morsels of food, often but not always, served…

There are a couple of café spaces that I particularly love in Edinburgh. They are full of light and even when the day is grey they somehow make you feel that the sun is shining. The design is seemingly simple, colours neutral, the furniture pale and both have high ceilings. Until…
Since this post was written, Pinto has become Barburrito. C’s first experience of Pintos was in Glasgow, when he stopped in on the way to the railway station to grab a burrito. It was fast, affordable and unpretentious, perfect when you’re in a hurry. Pintos have now popped up in…
Formally the Skean Dhu, provocatively-named La Petite Mort is making noises on Edinburgh’s food scene with its creative and modest menu. Its name refers to French slang for being over-full, but is most commonly defined as “orgasm.” Would the food be as pleasurable?
Having spent a few evenings at what I affectionately knew as “Vodka Rev” during my Freshers’ Week many years ago, I was not sure what to expect of the food offered on Revolution’s new menu. If I’m honest, all I was really aware of was the fact that they did…
