I was there on Wednesday night as well. Was also my first time at Broughton Street :greengrinQuote:

I got the pork belly. Was good but I usually get the fillet and I’ll be going back to that next time I go!
Was in Eastern Pavillion last night in Corstorphine, had a great meal as usual but sad to see a normally flourishing restaurant on a Saturday evening with only three tables occupied. They have built screens inbetween the tables for social distancing measures. Spoke to the owner as we always do as regulars and he is clearly very concerned. like many restaurants they will struggle to survive I fear.
It’s true. It’s a big challenge for all hospitality businesses just now. I can understand many being reluctant to go out though. Most people are cautious for the right reasons ..Quote:

We’ll be back again as soon, once baby arrives and I can get stuck into the wine list guilt free!
I know it's not top of the range cuisine but, I just managed to get an 11" spicy meat feast pizza and a pint of Strongbow in The Foot of the Walk for £5.04, that'll do! 😊
Did you get anything else? 😉Quote:

£34 for 4 of us having 2/3 courses and included a bottle of wine and a bottle of cider (can't take me anywhere ;-).
Everyone really enjoyed it especially my mother in law who was paying and when she was first told the price thought the full price was the reduced price!
Lots of space for social distancing at Waterloo Place.
We're having a bigger family meal at the Guru on Wednesday night. I'm paying and hoping I'm equally delighted.
Was at Hard Rock this afternoon, had our usual
Was reassuring as at the door, they had a temperature camera and hand sanitizer, before you got in
Sanitizers also throughout the restaurant
Server was saying they’ve been busy, but only able to use 1/2 the number of tables they normally use
Booked up in various places for the next 3 Mondays. Because the govt deal can be used in conjunction with other offers we can eat out as a family of 3 with a drink each for between £20 and £30.
Trying to visit a few of my customers to show them a bit support.
Was at Chop House tonight.
Two rumps, chips, buttered greens, onion rings and 2 cokes for bang on £30.
Nice one PB. Any recommendations of your customers we can visit too?Quote:

We're booked in for when we're off work in a couple of weeks.Quote:

For value to get the best out the Govt deal the likes of Howies and Chop House which have already been mentioned would be worth a look.Quote:

That's the ones I can remember eating in relatively recently off the top of my head and I know they are all in the scheme.
Nice one , thanks!Quote:

Had a couple of days off at the start of this week, so we went to Nok's kitchen in Stockbridge last night. Really nice Thai food.
Went to the Bonnie Badger in Gullane tonight - Tom Kitchin place. Nothing to write home about - the Govt discount took the price to what would have been fair for the food. Essentially overpriced pub food due to the location and appeal of the owner.
I was in New Chapter on Friday night. Second time I’ve been and both times it’s been excellent, the food and the service.Quote:

Has anyone visited Fazenda since it reopened? I'm interested to know how serving the salad bar yo your table works.
Food in there is good but at over £7 for a pint of lager I'll no be back there in a hurry.Quote:

It’s a fixed price menu - the prices are there on one of their pages .Quote:
