I don't know if you've been down that way in the evening recently. My wife and I were at the Chop House during the week and thought we'd go for a drink beforehand. Only one bar was open down that way, the Port o Leith, it was Covid-19 distanced full so we ended up in the Bowlers Rest, Mitchell Street, also Covid-19 rules apply. Really friendly wee place.

You wouldn't need vouchers there, I couldn't believe how cheap it was. One extreme to the other.

Not been down that way for a while, was on Leith Walk today in my favourite coffee shop, what a difference with hardly any traffic and footfall.

[Frazerbob]

I was Pizza express at the bridges. I was surprised how quiet it was
Told a stroll up and down the Royal mile afterwards, so many places closed
The iconic Worlds End pub closed too. Presume social distancing would be difficult in that pub

Worlds End opening 14th Sept.

[Billy Whizz]

Worlds End opening 14th Sept.

Thanks
Used to be our night out up until last year or so, Pancho Villas and Worlds End

Was in the Barologist last night. It’s a sort of tapas-y style menu of small dishes, we ordered 6 between us, one of them was terrible and I sent it back (a rock hard avocado), the others were no better than ok.

I wouldn’t go back.

I hated it in there. Went for a drink with the wife. Just wanted a pint of lager but ended up with IPA as all crafty type stuff and gin. Also table service only type place. Not my scene, just give me a normal pub where I can get a pint of normal lager!!

[Pretty Boy]

At least the Barologist appear to have done away with their weather themed menu. I went once; read about a 'cloud of potatoes', 'a pressure of jus' and 'a rainfall of hollandaise' and realised I had made a terrible mistake. The food was as average as it was pretentious.

[Mon Dieu4]

The Barologist is everything I hate about a pub, it's like the time a barman in a "trendy" pub tried to serve me a drink in an old baked bean tin before I told him I wasn't paying for it til he poured it in a glass

I have to sell those and keep a straight face when doing so, they aren't cheap either. I cringe every time someone asks for them. Same with mini fryer baskets, enamel mugs and mess tins. I have access to some beautiful crockery and people insist on that *****.

Is there any way to get this without using Itison? I refuse to use them since they used the lockdown to screw me out of a voucher.

No mate it’s all set up through Itison so I very much doubt it.

[Scouse Hibee]

Don't think I've ever had a bad meal at Vittoria's and last night was no exception. Calamari, Halibut, and tiramisu with a couple pints of Moretti. :aok:

With £10 off, 20% season ticket discount, and a £50 voucher I'd almost forgotten I bought at the start of the year the £90 bill became £13. :greengrin

Will be a decent deal combining the new Leith Walk Itison voucher, ST discount and Eat out discount too.

Absolutely. :agree:

They were busy last week on Wednesday, not sure if that's translating to non-EOTHO days but hopefully this scheme helps with doing just that!

My ex colleagues tell me that the EOTHO days are having an adverse affect on the other days.

That's a shame - hopefully this evens that out.

It's a little out the way for me these days so it would usually just be pre or post Hibs games when I would visit Vittoria's. Given the amount of green I'd see on those visits I assume the lack of attending football isn't helping them.

Cafe Domenico for us tonight, got great reviews, really looking forward to it.

[easty]

Aye, was in Stockbridge, sure it was in Hamiltons

I really like Hamiltons. Go there quite a lot. Was in there yesterday, just for a soup, a sandwich and a coffee, it was all really good though.

Tonight we're having some food at The Ox, been once before and it was decent enough.

Mussels for the starter and frutti de mare for the main.

Great wee place.

Been to Nok's kitchen recently - superb meal.

Also went to the Bonnie Badger in Gullane the other week. Not impressed. Average quality pub food, with a premium price.

Miro’s on the prom tonight, very good.

Had only been there for breakfast before but will definitely be back for dinner again.

Anyone been to hawksmoor? It’s for a 30th birthday and deciding between there or Chophouse (which I love and have been to loads).

I went to the Hawksmoor in London Seven Dials and the food was good but it was very expensive. Chophouse Leith is the best place for steak in the city IMO.

[Pretty Boy]

Anyone been to hawksmoor? It’s for a 30th birthday and deciding between there or Chophouse (which I love and have been to loads).

Between the 2 I would pick Chop House every day of the week.

The steak at Hawksmoor was great but I was disappointed in both my starter and particularly the dessert. It was like it was thrown together by someone who couldn't really be bothered.

Thanks for this, useful to know. Think I’ll go for chophouse instead, I’d agree it’s the best steak in Edinburgh!

We were served our dinner on pieces of slate in a restaurant in Oban of all places. The food had a tendency to fall off onto the table. Luckily there wasn't much of it to start with.
Since then "Slates for Plates" has been our motto when encountering such culinary pretentiousness.

[Cabbage East]

Kebab Mahal for lunch this week, substantial meal for 2 with drinks came to £11. Best Indian in Edinburgh still.

La Piazza on Saturday for our Wedding Anniversary, our favourite go to Italian.

Rustom & The Khukuri across the road are both better.

Mumbai Diner's club also better than Omar Khayyam but would go with the 2 above first.

Think it was a month too late for Scotland. Our schools went back in early August, so families weren’t able to maximise it
England on the other hand are still on holiday generally

You can add Vittoria Group places to that list, including Thursdays.

6ByNico for the chippie menu lived up to expectations - what a fantastic offering that is. Every course was delicious. I've never been disappointed by 6ByNico but that one was a cut above I think.

The next menu, Sicily, also looks really good but is pretty much booked out. I'm in for the following menu though - hopefully a good one!

[Scouse Hibee]

In Brewhemia last night the bill for six of us came to £308 then discounted to £154 with their 50% offer. Six folk in there from 6.30 till 11.30 all had food and drinks, including a couple of bottles of Prosecco,cheap night.

How was it?

I'm not really a huge fan but with the space they have to play with they must be able to balance social distancing with actually having some kind of atmosphere.

Oh and am I reading correct that the 50% off includes alcoholic drinks and not just food and softies?

Yes exactly, an ideal venue in that respect. It was very good, enough folk in to create a decent atmosphere and very good service. The food was good enough, we never actually knew about the 50% when we booked so it was a pleasant surprise. Some of the booths as you go in on the left that can sit 6-8 people where occupied by just couples. Only the second time I have been, selected for it’s proximity to the station for a couple of our group who travelled in. Yes the 50% covered everything.

Cheers. I've just booked for a week on Monday. I've only been in for drinks before.

We are looking for somewhere to have a drinks/brunch thing the day after our wedding in April (assuming that goes ahead) and had Brewhemia in mind because of the location. This will be a decent chance to scout things out.

So glad you’ve posted this. We’re booked in for 2nd October in Manchester but the website didn’t make it immediately obvious what the new menu would be.

[Mibbes Aye]

Appreciate there won’t be many posters who find themselves in Jedburgh, especially in current circumstances, though it is a good day out if you have children.

Anyways, Jethart has a few good restaurants and we were in the pick of them mid-week. The Capon Tree is run by a young couple and matches pretty much anywhere outstanding I have eaten in Edinburgh - classic Scottish/French, bit of Italian.

I had shin of beef for my main and it was the tenderest, meltiest beef I have ever had in my life. I like my steaks very rare, but shin isn’t a cut I have had before and I expected it to be naturally knotty and sinewy. Far from it, it was practically dissolving in my mouth the second I raised my fork.

Great wine list, and a good range of menu given the restrictions, but more importantly the care of how the food is prepared is the stand-out. If you find yourself in Jed it is worth your custom. Decent range of gins too, IIRC, if that’s your preference for an aperitif.

This is what happens when you’re trying to type Manchester and then your Mrs mentions something happening in November 🤦🏻

We’re booked in for Six by Nico in Manchester on 2nd October. Sicily menu looks great. I’m usually a bit funny about fish and was expecting to have to swap one or two courses for the veggie option but sea bass is one of the few dishes that I’ll happily eat 👍

If you wrote November instead of Manchester should you not be in Manchester on the 2nd of October? :duck:

If it is November then the menu will have changed again. It will be the one after Sicily.

I think it is time for me to admit to myself that I need to start re-reading my posts before submitting! 2nd October. Definitely 2nd October. In Manchester. Though it may be a good idea to check my reservation to make sure that I haven’t ended up in Belfast in November or something similarly daft.

[CapitalGreen]

So glad you’ve posted this. We’re booked in for 2nd October in Manchester but the website didn’t make it immediately obvious what the new menu would be.

They may have synced them now but in the past they weren’t offering the same menus at each venue simultaneously.

[Mr Grieves]

We went to Fazenda yesterday. There's been a few wee changes - a reduced salad bar/sides menu which you can order as much as you like and they bring it to your table, and the drinks menu is viewed on your phone using a qr code. It was still brilliant.

[Billy Whizz]

Add The Piper’s Rest at The Tron, Burgers & Beers Grillhouse on the Mile & The Newsroom on Leith St to list of places continuing EO2HO throughout September.

Is there a list anywhere, of all the outlets in Scotland offering this?

[Scouse Hibee]

La Piazza last night, very good, menu viewed on your phone via QR code, tables well positioned with some removed to enable correct distancing food and service very good.
The only issue they had was when a group of 10 came in caused a commotion and decided they would pull two tables that were about ten foot from each other together, the restaurant staff stopped them and despite their protests dealt with the situation very well and eventually got them quietened down and sat at two seperate tables.

Visited 3 spots in Edinburgh over last weekend - The Kitchin, which was unsurprisingly fantastic; Spirit of Thai (which is one of my favourite Thai spots in the city), and Brewhemia - I'd never been in Brewhemia before and, to be honest, was quite unaware of its presence, but I was thoroughly impressed. Beautiful big open and bright space with a great beer selection and very tasty food. Will definitely be back!

I don't know what's more worrying, the whips or the need for hand sanitiser afterwards. :greengrin

Went out to our favourite Chinese restaurant last night, Rendezvous on Queensferry St. Temperature was taken as we went in, and usual protocol of contact details and hand sanitizer
Think it’s the 1st time we’ve been this year

Food top notch as always. We always have 2 meat dishes, and 2 veg with our rice. Was reasonably busy at 5.30 or so
Forgot how expensive eating out was, after the help out promotion last month😧

Had a wee sneaky drink at Ryries after, before catching our train home

Just as an aside, loads of people on the train not wearing masks, but that’s probably for another thread

That's not too bad, about 10 years ago it was £4 for a pint of Strongbow. 😓

Currently in Darlington, about £5 for a Strongbow and Moretti! 😆

Had a takeaway from Chez Jules today. How they manage to produce such good food for so cheap is beyond me.

Wouldn’t sit in just now though as they are giving you disposable cutlery which is ***** for eating steak frites.

[grunt]

Just had a single nip and a single brandy, think was around £6.30, so not too expensive in Edinburgh establishments
I'm afraid I just don't see the point in having single measures for spirits. It's mostly evaporated before you get back to your seat.

I agree😄, but we had a train to catch
It was £2.80 for a single nip, and £3.50 for a single brandy
Will go back rather than use Platform 5, which was heaving

The new bar manager is a guy who worked in the Guildford, a good guy who I’m sure will improve the place.

A DM Stewart boozer now I believe.

It's got some way to go before reaching the standards of the Guildford or Abbotsford.

Was at Brewhemia for dinner tonight.

Food was pretty good, not spectacular but decent. 2 mains, 2 cocktails, 2 pints, 2 apple juice and a child's main and dessert for £38.50 with the discount is very good value. Set up was excellent with tables well spaced, QR codes for track and trace and staff checked you had signed up. Service was excellent.

Less pleasant is the news that the Wee Restaurant in Edinburgh has closed for good. Great food. Thankfully they are staying open in Queensferry.

Not Edinburgh but was in Whitby at the weekend on a business research trip which involved trying fish and chips from three of the best known outlets.

First up was Trenchers which has a fantastic reputation for fish and chips, it was awful. Chips although not bad in texture had a chemical taste probably not been rinsed properly from the dry white used to keep them looking good. The Haddock was battered with skin on (yuk) and the batter was so thin and soggy they shouldn’t have bothered, the tartar sauce was so vinegary. On top of that the service from the counter staff was abrupt and unhelpful.

In comparison the Quayside was fantastic, told us they served skin on haddock and asked if we wanted it with skin removed before battering which we did, fantastic fish and chips, crispy batter but not too thick and lovely crispy chips and decent tartar sauce.

The Magpie Cafe was also very similar to Quayside although we had cod there as they never offered to remove the skin from the haddock. Their tartar sauce was the best of the lot as it was chunky how I like it.

Overall Whitby was a nice place, we were there for a specific purpose though and Trenchers was such a let down.

I don’t mind skin on fish when it is being pan fried or grilled so it crisps but in batter, not for me!

How do you rate the Corstorphine one? Passed it numerous times, sometimes it's busy, sometimes empty. They start cooking just after 4pm on weekdays and the phenomenal smell lingers in the area for ages.
I've only been put off because it resembles a cafe (was it Rosa's?) rather than a proper restaurant.
Got my first sit down at Prana (used to be Abida) next week and from what I've heard it's still very decent!

Never been mate as I tend to go to Eastern Pavilion but have heard it’s decent, yes it was Rosa’s cafe and then the Thai place by night. The premises are owned by David and Rose the owners of Wongs. Never been to Prana either but Abida was decent on the odd occasion I went.

Went to the Corstorphine one just before lockdown. My girlfriend and I were doing a Corstorphine curry trail. It was OK but not as good as others in the area.

I’ve been to Prana twice. Probably the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Strangely, they are still calling themselves Abida for their takeaway business and they still answer the phone as Abida.

The whole Indian restaurant scene in Edinburgh is quite fascinating. I deal with a lot of them in work, including almost all of the St Johns Road/Corstorphine crew, and so many of them are interconnected in some way, either through family or extended friendship networks. It's an annual occurrence that some of the restaurants nominally have 'new owners' who happen to be the cousin or brother of the previous owners and have links to another restaurant. Coincidentally they almost always keep the previous owners on in a management capacity:wink: The vast majority of the owners and staff tend to be Bangladeshi with a smattering of Pakistani owned restaurants. The number of Indian restaurants owned by Indians is probably single figures in Edinburgh, those that are tend to be from either West Bengal or Punjab and have strong links to the neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively.

It's a good community to get into from a business perspective because when your face is known and you are trusted then they will be loyal to you and will recommend you to others. On the flip side it can be a nightmare to quote for new product or agree price increases because you can guarantee that they will know exactly what the guy next door and the guy at the other side of the city is paying. There's also a strong emphasis on verbal contracts and gentlemans agreements. I remember years ago telling one owner a new pass through dishwasher would be 'about £4000' but I would have to quote formally; when I presented a quote for closer to £4500 he got very upset and accused me of double crossing him, it was months before he dealt with me again. The best part of dealing with a number of Indian restaurants is the food. I always try to schedule meetings for about 3pm. The lunch service is done and you quite often find a wife bustling about the kitchen cooking food that they actually eat and it's always amazing. Kabuli Puloa, Haleem and Dowdo are particular favourites. They also use a lot of mutton that adds a great depth. I've asked for some of these dishes when I have been out for dinner before and they are usually only too happy to accommodate and show off authentic cuisine.

In my early days in catering I started at Prestonfield House which hosted the annual Curry Ball organised by Tommy Miah.

He would bring a couple of guys in from his restaurants to get the food ready and Prestonfield would provide a commis or 2 to help out. I was chosen one year and was enjoying watching them prepare all the food when 1 of them says to me we will have a break and would I like a bite to eat?

Thinking I would just get a bowl of the curries they were making i gladly said yeah!

He then started to cook something from scratch, to this day I have no idea what he called it but it was delicious! Probably still the best Indian meal I've ever had :greengrin

I used to deal with a few of them too and each time was like groundhog day.

They invariably set impossible timescales and want everything yesterday. When you explain that it's not possible they blame you.
They barter over everything. If you want £800 you have to start off at £1k and give them the pleasure of knocking the price down.
They're very selective about what they remember and/or understand. If something doesn't suit them they'll try to blank it.
You have to be very careful when they ask you about business that you're doing or have done with other restaurants. You never know whether they're just being nosey or if they're checking to see if you have a big gob and can/can't be trusted.
Don't be frightened to straight talk them - they'll respect you for it.

All of the above is part of the "game" they play. It might look like I'm generalising or even being racist but I'm not. It's a cultural thing and once you understand and accept it then you'll get on fine.

Finally, if you treat them with the respect that you expect in return and do your job properly then you'll have a client/friend for life. Well worth it if only for the freeby food that they'll happily share with you.

Restaurant communities of same nationalities is certainly a huge network of inter connected families and distant relations. It certainly doesn’t take long to learn of information from across the city and further.

I know this happened with a small family owned business in the Stenhouse area but that was purely to avoid paying certain running costs of a business,,,, not sustainable in the long run.

Visited Prana(Corstorphine) last night and whilst the food was excellent, I was actually more impressed with the drinks!
Don't get me wrong, the recently renovated restaurant has put a lot of effort in to their new menu, and whilst it has become a little limited due to its simplified nature, the offerings are wide and diverse.
The monkfish starter was brilliant and the chicken jalfrezi was hot but not overly so, and had a pleasant tangy-ness, but the drinks!!!
We had a few between us, Mrs SG loved the Bellini but I was blown away by the whisky sour. Indian whiskey laced with cardamom bitters, oooft, so good I had two!
The restaurant isn't the traditional Indian where you might go with the lads after a few pints, but I'll definitely be back with the good lady and mixed company next time I need an uprated Indian.

The name hasn’t been released yet, it’s on the site of the old Cafe Rapido.

Cumbernauld!

[matty_f]

I was at Tattu again last night.

Pretty much reaffirmed my view after my 1st visit. Setting lovely, service excellent, food so so.

Had I not had a voucher I probably wouldn't have went a 2nd time and I doubt there will be a 3rd visit.

I’ve been once and really enjoyed the food after hearing a very similar review to yours. I think we maybe got lucky with the chef the time we went.

Cumbernauld!

Brilliant 👍

Going to one of our favourite restaurants this Saturday for my wife's birthday - La Garrigue.

It wasn't the first choice however as originally we wanted somewhere neither of us had been before but I must have looked at over fifteen places that were completely sold out. Hopefully the restaurant trade in Edinburgh is recovering. I couldn't believe the lack of availability across an array of different restaurants.

Reduced capacity for social distancing will have an impact but fingers crossed.

We need something to rival the fish market in the city.

RivalThe Fishmarket? Do people still get their food at least an hour after they should get it despite standing outside in all weather and having pre-ordered online hours before!!

I had a bad experience there ( can you tell?)and I am very unlikely to go back.
The food was not even that good but the attitude of owners really put me off them.

Nothing much for them to beat then!

I have used the fish market once since lockdown at lunch time and my time slot was spot on with food delivery, though I have heard of many experiences similar to yours. The food was pretty decent though.

Pretty much overpriced though. I don’t eat fish, so had the chicken Goujons, and it was £14, and that’s without mushy peas
I was with my wife and mum, both had the fish and loved it

I think the Fish suppers we had were £10 each, so definitely a bit pricier than normal but I thought it was decent value for what we got.

[pollution]

The best fish and chips I ever had was from the site of the Market, Harry Ramsdens.

Thick fish and chips cooked in dripping if I remember correctly.

Reduced capacity for social distancing will have an impact but fingers crossed.I'm a chef in a wee hotel, normally seat 40 but reduced to 20ish and 8 o'clock last orders now. Great for me but can't get a pint when I finish now....

A bit out the way, but Pairings in York is brilliant.

The wine was great but the cheese was unreal.

[Peevemor]

Not a review but worth a mention. Indian restaurants are few and far between here in rural Brittany so I was delighted when one opened earlier this year not far from me. I went for the first time on July 14th (public holiday here) and had a Biryani which was excellent.

I returned last night with some mates and the guy in restaurant not only remembered me from the last time but also what I'd ordered.

Pretty impressive!

You say it was impressive, but to be fair the first time you rocked in bouncing off the walls, with your shirt off, shouting "Gies a biryani ya radge bas***ds" repeatedly until the police came to move you on.

Was harder for them to forget you, to be honest.

Yeah - must've been my accent!

[heretoday]

Visited Prana(Corstorphine) last night and whilst the food was excellent, I was actually more impressed with the drinks!
Don't get me wrong, the recently renovated restaurant has put a lot of effort in to their new menu, and whilst it has become a little limited due to its simplified nature, the offerings are wide and diverse.
The monkfish starter was brilliant and the chicken jalfrezi was hot but not overly so, and had a pleasant tangy-ness, but the drinks!!!
We had a few between us, Mrs SG loved the Bellini but I was blown away by the whisky sour. Indian whiskey laced with cardamom bitters, oooft, so good I had two!
The restaurant isn't the traditional Indian where you might go with the lads after a few pints, but I'll definitely be back with the good lady and mixed company next time I need an uprated Indian.

They've worked so hard to get the place up and running and it's such a refreshing change from the former incarnation of the restaurant, although the takeaway menu is still in the gift of the previous management (and actual owner), I believe. Business is business.

The manager Arun and his pal Leo are charming and very genuine and of course the food is top class and unique. All through this virus period they've followed the rules to the letter. Staff are young, smart and masked.

Contrast that with The Spice Lounge Kitchen up Drum Brae where, during a recent visit, the signs were up, the floor markings and even health advice pamphlets were in evidence, but bar staff were serving pints without masks, the place was rammed with huns watching a Sunday match on the big screen and a wedding reception was in full swing and mixing with the bar crowd. The restaurant section of the establishment was not properly spaced. The waiters were at least wearing masks but the Ladies loo had run out of paper.

It used to be The Rainbow. It's getting to feel like it again.

What’s the current Corstorphine/West Edinburgh curry takeaway of choice?

Been using Asha as it’s on my doorstep but seems it’s changed hands and the last couple have been average.

[Mibbes Aye]

Mrs Mibbes was up in Edinburgh with work on Friday and took the chance to grab a takeaway from La Garrigue, to reheat at home.

The starters were a salmon pate and a game terrine, both decent with some oatcakes.

The mains were exceptional. The first was one of their signature dishes, their cassoulet. Funny dish, because in some ways it tastes better for being reheated. The second was their bouillabaisse and that was the absolute star of the show. No shortage of proteins in the dish and jam-packed with flavour.

We got cheeses as well, they seem to have switched from Henri’s to Mellis as their supplier. Didn’t have room for them but will try and find space tonight.

Mine is St Johns but Prana/Abida seem to be getting rave reviews

[speedy_gonzales]

We had the takeaway from Wedgewood again last night, our second over this Covid period.
I had ham cured Mallard ham followed by 80hr slow cooked beef brisket then the Wedgewood chocolate orange. The good lady had cauliflower velouté, confit chicken then coconut pannacotta.
We also added the cheese selection (for one) to share between us. All the sides are well paired with the dishes, just as you would expect.
The delivery is between 5pm & 7:30pm and comes well laid out so they're is minimum prep.
Including tip, it came in just under £70, perhaps not the price of your usual takeaway but for someone who'd normally go out every couple of weeks for a meal anyway, it's a nice wee treat and a reminder that life out there can be "normal" sometimes.

Was looking at Abida. Dangal was another. Not had a S John’s for years so might give that a try.

Reviews of Prana look good I’m guessing it’s collection only.

Abida is the takeaway whereas Prana is the sit-in restaurant. It's the same premises but ran separately.
You can also download the Abida app to get discount and promotions (virtually every weekend I get a push message offering 10/15% off.

Ah thanks! Registered on the app will give them a go.

Had a couple of the "at home" boxes over the weekend. Stein at home, from Rick stein - the hake menu - was really nice. On any other weekend it would have been easily the best meal I had but SixByNico manage to translate their restaurant quality to home "cooking" very well. At £50 for a bottle of wine and all the food you need to create a very good and filling meal it's good value too. :agree:

I watched the SixByNico documentaries with interest, he certainly has a drive and ambition to expand quickly. I thought the quality would suffer but he seems to be pulling it off.

We used Wedgewood right at the start of lockdown, the food was really sensational.

It's a good concept he has created. I enjoyed the documentary too, I'd have liked to have seen a bit more about inspiration behind his menu choices and the effort and time it must take to tweak them as necessary to their final position.

They were meant to be announcing something exciting today but it doesn't seem to have happened.

I am the co owner of a new premium fish and chip shop opening on Broughton Street mid November. It will be called “The Chippy by Spencer” as my business partner has an impressive CV as a chef so it was my idea to use his name.

Hope to see a few Hibees visiting.

Cheers, really pleased with the location and thought the premises would have been out of our reach originally.

Traditional mate with a few twists aka Bertie’s, definitely no kebabs, a small selection of pizzas and only because we inherited a decent pizza oven. My business partner was responsible for the Bertie’s menu/concept

Had a pizza from Errols Hot Pizza in Glasgow. Honestly think it might be the best pizza I’ve had in the U.K.

I prefer a more NYC style pizza and it’s the closest thing I’ve had to that outside NY.

Faultless. If you’re from Glasgow you must try it.

Brunchfield Viewforth Gardens

For those partial to a plate of sandwiches & scones aka afternoon tea, for £10 per person this has to be the best value afternoon tea in the capital.
Order the day before so when you arrive its all ready for you. Its just a small place with 5 tables but the also do a takeaway box for the same cost.
Well worth a visit.

[Scouse Hibee]

Haha no, I certainly have no connection with them. Just mentioning them coming to Corstorphine as their pizzas have been very good whenever I have had them.

[calumhibee1]

They’re just very good pizzas. Would say they’re a sort of NY/Neopolitan style hybrid. They use very good ingredients and are significantly better than the big chains because of it.
