Our sadness at the closure of Mumbai Mansions was replaced by joy that the team were planning to open the Mumbai Diner’s Club at Haymarket. Having followed the team as they have moved form Mithas in Leith to Mumbai Mansions in Haymarket, we are happy to hear that their combination…
Two new vegetarian/vegan places have opened up in Bruntsfield recently. (Well, recently enough that I haven’t been yet.) Always interested to see what the vegetable-loving scene looks like, Christopher and I went for lunch at one of them last week: Thrive.
It’s always good to find a restaurant with a Menu du Jour, a simplified menu offering two courses or three courses for a set price, which is perfect for an early evening, post-work, pre-theatre dinner. I went along to try out The Wee Restaurant’s menu during the Fringe but what…
Spatch. Rotate. Eat – Kerry’s ultimate comfort food
With just a couple of Fringe days left, if you’re still looking for show recommendations with a difference, I can highly recommend Comfort Food Cabaret at the New Town Cookery School on Queen Street.
My friend and I were talking about what the building that houses Courtyard by Marriott used to be. We remember walking past it and seeing it boarded up for years, buddleia growing in the gutters, sun-bleached crisp bags stuck on the railings. It was a sad end to the party street…
The West End is full of bars and restaurants so it’s easy for any one of them to be overlooked. Despite the fact that Amy reviewed it a couple of years ago, I think of Foundry 39 as a pub/bar rather than a restaurant. I’ve gone there for a quick…
A couple of years ago, Kerry and Nicki visited Wahaca. Their only sadness was that they’d run out of the cricket brownie. Wahaca have a new menu and it was time for us to revisit. This time, Kerry and I went. It was a brilliantly sunny day, one of those…
Awaiting the arrival of Hawksmoor, Edinburgh was an understatement, especially as food critic Giles Coren, declares another of its branches as ‘Flawless. The best steak restaurant you’ll find’. So, despite having already booked a table at one of the soft-launches on the first Saturday, I couldn’t resist accepting a bloggers’…
Launching just as the summer season begins in earnest, the new Brasserie Menu at Harvey Nichols focuses on classic dishes and the finest seasonal ingredients and you really can’t get a better place to enjoy the tastes of summer when the sun shines.

Taking my car for a service and its annual MOT in Leith at the end of June, I noticed a new restaurant, Borough, in the space that was previously Norn and before that the Plumed Horse. It’s great that spaces don’t stand still long in Leith, an area fast becoming a foody destination that is worth seeking out. Sadly it wasn’t open but it wasn’t long before an invitation dropped into my inbox to come and see what it was all about.
