The walnut whip is probably one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Maybe biased as actual walnut whips are one of my favourite sweets.Quote:

Got Heron booked for September, has anyone been?
Was at La Grotta in Portobello at the weekend (used to be Anna Thai). Was really nice and very reasonable. It’s a small setting but every table was taken and they seemed to be really busy with takeaways too.
It’s BOYB so for a starter and main course each for two it came to £47.
Spirit of Thai in Grindlay Street. Small place but feels like it is run by a family and the friendly welcome and service reflects that.
Lovely food. Simply cooked. Delicious.
At Heron in Henderson Street tonight. My first ever Michelin Star restaurant experience. We had the tasting menu with paired wines, absolutely tremendous. Service was excellent and restaurant service was very relaxed and informal, would highly recommend.
Dusit in Thistle Street last night. Never fails to be excellent. Very nice service. Lovely food. And always reasonably priced.
I’ve wanted to try there for years and then every time I book a restaurant it completely slips my mind.Quote:

Oregano tonight on Leith Walk, still up there with the best pizzas in my opinion.
Origano is superb :agree:Quote:

Glad you enjoyed it, yes it was all cooked in beef dripping, the king ribs are made for us by our butcher as we didn’t want to put the frozen processed ones that most chippys use on our menu. I was the guy at the far end doing all the frying including your king rib 😀Quote:

Went to Rosa’s Thai tonight, used to be Cafe Rouge on Frederick Street. Was excellent and also has 50% off food for the next two weeks as part of its soft launch.
My wife and I have been going to Spirit of Thai since we were both at Uni in Dundee (i.e., 'not yesterday' :greengrin). We went randomly one night when we were down for a show at the Lyceum and were blown away by how good it was, and we've been going semi-regularly ever since!Quote:

Was in Edinburgh last weekend for our wedding anniversary - ate at The Kitchin (quality as always), Tattu (not cheap, but extremely good contemporary Chinese food), and Topalabamba. We regularly use the Topa in Glasgow (as we both work in Glasgow) and like it, but I was disappointed with the one in Edinburgh - ***** service, no concept of spice, horrible flickering fairy lights/neon sign that gave both of us a headache after about 20 minutes...definitely won't visit it again.
I’m going to Dante’s in Colinton on Friday, then Kora next week.
First time for me at both, anyone been?
Been to Dante’s years ago. Was decent enough, never been back though, never thought it was worth a return trip.Quote:

Dantes local to me, been a few times and also used them for larger groups on special occasions. Always deliver, lovely food, friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Is it staying as a restaurant do you know?Quote:

Nice food but it's shady in there. The menu is scarcely readable! They have lazy susans on the tables to assist sharing.
Staff are very efficient. It helps to have an early booking in that respect. They're wanting to move you on!
