Went to book one of our favourite Restaurants, Credo on Queen Charlotte St only to find it's closed down. What a shame, anybody here why, it was a fine we place with decent reasonably priced food.

Been closed for a couple of months, no idea why though was never over busy when I was there.

It's good (although I'd say there a few better Thai restaurants in Edinburgh). I'm too embarrassed to go back though. I'm prone to very bad nose bleeds and the last time we were there a particularly bad nose bleed came on just as the starters arrived. It lasted ages. The staff were a bit bemused. It was all made worse due to my dentist being sat at the next table to us seeing this.

Why? Did he catch you picking your nose?

My French is rusty but it reads like you could choose scallop in a vol-au-vent, salmon in pastry with a beurre blanc sauce and a collection of petit fours for dessert for trois quid?

Bonjour!

Went to the new Oregano on Leith Walk before the game on Saturday and really enjoyed it.

Pizzas were great and more than any of us could finish.

Nice place with a good atmosphere and only 10 mins walk from ER.

We're moving to Murrayfield shortly, At Western Corner there's a little cafe called Cocobean fantastic food and superb value.

Polentoni on Easter Road is a superb Italian Cafe/Deli type place. Their sandwiches on Ciabatta or various other Italian breads are superb. Try the Speck with Pesto and Salad or Cheese with Beetroot and Salad, a busy wee place and not to be missed.

Went to Cafe Marlayne on Antigua Street a week or so ago for dinner.

The restaurant is through the back and is set out nicely, bistro-style. Food was decent to good, if unspectacular, but certainly offered value for money given it's such a central location. The service was friendly and efficient.

There are a few choices in the area for pre-Playhouse dining but I would happily go back there.

Ship on the shore down in Leith last Saturday was very good indeed.

Had a mixed seafood platter which was lovely. Crab claws were also very good.

Also, cafe amiga (Portuguese) on Leith walk does a lovely milkshake with a fine selection of home baked cakes.

Returning after about 20 years to the Verandah on Dalry Road tonight, heard some recent good things about it.

FFS wish I hadn't bothered to be honest, still trying to live on past glories. Have recently been giving the curries a miss and trying the tandori mixed grills. This is the worst over priced, cheap quality tandori mixed grill I have ever seen. £16.95 for a pigeon sized piece of chicken and a few other cheap cuts cooked God knows how. Won't be back for at least another twenty years!

Was at five guys today.

Was alright but expensive for what it is. It's basically the burger version of nandos.

Slightly off topic but found that Itison often have a steak selection box from Donald Russell - got it recently and it's fantastic quality - two sirloins, two rump steaks and two ribeyes, two pork chops, two packs of sausages and a pack of meatballs. £29 the lot (£72 usually) - well worth treating yourself next time the deal is on the site.

Overpriced and overhyped in my opinion.

Khushi's in Dunfermline beats anything I've tasted in Edinburgh or Fife when it comes to an Indian restaurant. I used to frequent a place called the viceroy but that's now out the window. The staff are really friendly, the decor is welcoming and interesting and the quality of the food is fantastic. The chicken was really tasty and you could tell the ingredients were fresh.

If we end up playing the pars again I'd thoroughly recommend popping in for your tea. BYOB too with no corkage.

Agreed. Recommended.

Was at byron on north bridge a couple weeks ago. As burger chains go, its the best around. Had the 25p burger opening offer which was great. Only downside is they charge well over the odds at normal menu price.

Pretty much

Was at The Merchants in Saturday night, terrible. Not sure how it stays open, only 3 tables taken on Valentine's night. Started was clearly straight out a packet and service was awful.

Got fairly decent reviews, no idea how!

A good burger should be cooked medium - medium well at most. By cooking their burgers well done they're little better than Burger King IMO.

Not for me mate,the risk of burgers cooked medium is not one I like to take. A burger is just that,people kidding themselves on that they can have it cooked like a piece of steak is wrong.

Noticed they get quite a few coach parties in there for lunch during the festival, normally asian tour groups.Often wondered how good it was.

I'm hearing the Riparian rooms has gone to the wall.

I visited Oregano on Leith Walk pre game last night, quite possibly one of the best pizzas i've ever had!
