Restaurants that have closed since we first reviewed them.

Pinto, Shandwick Place: double-quick, filling and cheerful Mexican

Caroline von Schmalensee May 14, 2015 April 16, 2017
Barbacoa quesadilla with sweetcorn salsa, Pinto, Shandwick Place, Edinburgh.

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…

Fatma, Edinburgh: relax and share with friends

Caroline von Schmalensee May 6, 2014 April 16, 2017
Modammas - broad beans made beautiful. Fatma, Edinburgh.

Since this post was written, Fatma has closed. It was raining when we went down to Commercial Quay in Leith to try Fatma, a Lebanese restaurant. We were early, so walked around looking at the different restaurants, lined up like pearls in a necklace, but the unrelenting drizzle soon forced…

Galvin Brasserie de Luxe Jazz Sunday – taking it easy

Caroline von Schmalensee April 17, 2014 August 4, 2019
Sea trout with saffron braised squid, fennel and chickpeas. I want that again.

Update spring 2019: This restaurant has closed. Galvin’s Brasserie de Luxe, the Pompoadour’s less formal sibling, is on the ground floor of the Caledonian Hotel. It’s a bright space, with white walls, blue leather seats, and wall panels in white tiles and dark wood that matches the tables. The restaurant…

Bar Missoni – generous and handsome sharing platters

Caroline von Schmalensee January 24, 2014 April 4, 2017
Cheese platter at Bar Missoni

Hotel Missoni  (now the G & V Hotel) sits just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.  The Bar has a very different vibe from other hotel bars. It is a functional space where you can meet colleagues or wait for a friend to come out of the shower, as you’d…

Edinburgh Larder Bistro: inventive, foraged and fresh

Caroline von Schmalensee July 17, 2013 April 4, 2017
Black pudding on brioche, with quail's egg, at Edinburgh Larder.

I went to Edinburgh Larder Bistro for my birthday last year. That was my first time, but not the last. Edinburgh Larder is one of my favourite restaurants at the moment, so I was rather pleased to be asked to go there to review it. As usual, I had a…

The Living Room’s new menu: Dining in the Dark is an exciting way to try it

Caroline von Schmalensee November 24, 2012 April 21, 2017
Dining in the Dark at The Living Room

Since this post was written, The Living Room has closed. It’s rare that I turn up half an hour early, but for the Dining in the Dark event at The Living Room I did. It wasn’t intentional but a happy coincidence since it gave me plenty of time to sit…

Hewat’s restaurant, Edinburgh – a visit to the Southside

Caroline von Schmalensee February 1, 2012 November 8, 2018
Chocolate mousse. It looks small but that's because of the enormity of that chocolate curl. I mean, look at that! It's a foot across. (Almost.)

Update April 2018: now closed. A good local restaurant is a place that caters to the people in the local neighbourhood. The South side of Edinburgh – Newington, Causewayside – is a quirky area with a lot of students as well as families and couples of all ages. When we…

Zamorin, Linlithgow: high up on the hill there’s a restaurant

Caroline von Schmalensee December 10, 2011 April 21, 2017
Pork ularthu, one of the chef's signature dishes.

I lived in Linlithgow for three years in the mid-noughties. Since then one of its main hotels and pubs has burnt down which is really sad. My favourite restaurant has closed and a new, really good cafe/deli has opened. The world never stands still, not even in historical and picturesque town like Linlithgow with…

Amore Dogs for Italian fun

Bread Baker Danielle November 17, 2011 April 21, 2017
Amore Dogs Restaurant Edinburgh

Since this post was written, Amore Dogs has closed. I am often asked is what is my favourite restaurant. Impossible to say. Favourite in what way? Restaurants of course have to have great food, but the ambiance and service are very important. So is the occasion. Is it to celebrate…

Mya Thai and Indian restaurant: great Thai and friendly service

Caroline von Schmalensee November 12, 2011 April 16, 2017
A little bit of snapper and a spoonful of cocnut rice, from serving plates to my plate. What joy knowing there's more delicacy just waitong for you to serve it.

Commercial Quay, the old bonds opposite the Scottish Government in Leith, is a bustling, fun place to be. The bonds turn serious faces towards Commercial Street but have a long row of restaurants at their back. Here’s you’ll find Chop Chop Leith, La Garrigue Leith, the Kitchin and International Starters.…
