    Went to David bann last week. I'm not vegetarian, but one of the guys in a group that I go to dinner with occasionally was doing a 1 month vegetarian challenge so we took the chance to try something a bit different.

    It was very good. Very tasty food that is cooked and presented to a high standard but with a small price tag (no expensive meat).

    Tried the Cool Jade Chinese in Corstorphine yesterday.

    Food and service was lovely but paying nearly £70 for what amounted to three main courses and three soft drinks was a bit much.

    Almost feel like I've been stiffed.

    No starters, desserts or sides?! That's outrageous at that price if so.

    Yeah I live in Corstorphine,tried it once and decided no better than the other Chinese restaurants in Corstorphine with reasonable prices.

    Yeah that was my exact impression on my one and only visit. Also we felt we were rushed.

    Won't be back.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Just been to the Kitchin in Leith. Super food and service. Very nice and helpful staff.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Went to the Königlicher Hirschgarten last week with Mrs Keekaboo and a couple of colleague from work.

    Pleasant surroundings and decor, staff were nice but menu was very limited. If it's not Bavarian or Austrian, they don't sell it.


    FWIW, I ate Bambie's Mum for dinner. Very tasty.

    Anyone eaten at Navadhanya? I love my Indian food, and travel past it everyday on the bus, but I'd never really heard of it, I noticed it's highly rated on trip advisor (#12 restaurant in Edinburgh). I'm going on Sunday to try it out.

    Manchester, Cardiff and Brighton too. Bit weird to have a bug like that spread over such distances but it could be part coincidence part precautionary I suppose.

    Edinburgh restaurant was also anti viral cleaned by specialists as a precaution along with all others in the UK.

    My folks used to swear by Vittoria's on the Walk but reckon it's really gone downhill recently.

    Funnily enough a mate of mine who lives just round the corner from there has said much the same. He used to meet his old man there every Friday but they've started going elsewhere recently.

    I was at Bubba Q's on the royal mile on Saturday. If you like American style BBQ/smoked food you will love it. Reasonable prices, food was great, and plentiful portions. I would recommend the sausages, brisket, the BBQ beans and the dynamite fries.

    Bit of both, to be honest. Felt that they were maybe stretching themselves a bit thin with the other restaurants and that the one in the Walk had suffered as a result. They're regulars as well, but are looking at going elsewhere. Think my dad even had to send a steak back last time.

    We always go there for family meals for birthdays and the likes, have always said it's my favourite place to eat on Edinburgh!

    You know I've never really rated their restaurants but folk kept on raving about them so I kept on trying them! Vittoria's particularly.

    I reckon I've had 2 good experiences from a dozen or so.

    The pizzas are decent but nothing special, probably a bit short on toppings but that's the Italian style I've been ridiculously told - only on Piazza San Marco, in my experience, everywhere else is at least decent enough that you can see what's supposed to be there.

    The boy waiters too keen to be serving girls and the girl waiters (if that's what their known as these days ;-) so 'I'm only working here to do you a favour' as they swan about being divas!

    It's round the corner. I dare say I'll be there again lucky 13, disappointed ... or maybe not! Wouldn't that be nice.

    I haven't been but friends have and were disappointed with food and service. I think that was not long after it opened though, so has perhaps improved.

    I'm going to Vittorias on the walk next week will report back after as we've always found it superb.

    I've been before and it's been really good, but my most recent visits were fairly disappointing based on the standards that Vittoria's have set before.

    I've found it to have been disappointing the last few visits as well as have my parents.

    I use Vittorias regularly and was surprised by some of these comments.Had a quick look at Trip Advisor and see that both the one in Leith and on the Bridge are still getting great comments. My other favourite is La Piazza.

    I was at a family meal in the Vittoria recently and found it pretty faultless
