Went past Miros cantina last week. All boarded up, anyone know if they have plans to reopen?Quote:

A very good Thai restaurant.
Went to Butternut Squash in Portobello tonight for dinner, £10 for a 3 course set menu. It was lovely :aok:
So £5 each with the discount😄Quote:

I've been there in the evening and although its very, very good it is expensive.
It was a decent sized menu and good portion size for a lunch. Well worth the money.
Rustom at Haymarket for the gov deal, very tasty!

Daughters choice last night so it was pizza express at Stockbridge
I was Pizza express at the bridges. I was surprised how quiet it wasQuote:

The iconic Worlds End pub closed too. Presume social distancing would be difficult in that pub
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
The Stockbridge one was packed we could only get an earlier time when I booked. Quite a few famous pubs still shut Haymarket Bar as well.Quote:

Not sat in yet but had a takeaway pizza from Paolozzi up on Forrest Road, very impressed with it. Looking forward ti sitting in and trying out the rest of the menu.
Owner is a big Hibby as well!
Didn’t realise you could combine the 20% season ticket discount with the £10 off, that’s brilliant!Quote:

The itison voucher scheme for Leith Walk launches on Monday, spend £5 on a voucher that gives you a £10 spend. An initiative to help businesses recover trade lost due to tram works. There was a similar scheme for Constitution Street earlier in the year.
I'm hearing the Constitution Street one is coming up again soon.Quote:

So they’re getting a second one! Fair enough they need all the help they can get, when business planning started for the tram project we had no idea Covid would hit also, a double whammy hitting everyone hard.Quote:

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.Quote:
