Torfin opening has today resulted in large gatherings buying their booze and using the external area of the Whiie Lady to consume it. It looks just like a normal Sunday session, social distancing non existent!

Leith Walk was like that on Saturday.

Bar Brig, Brass Monkey and Bier Hoose all doing takeaway beer and the street was heaving.

Haven’t been to it, but read that the Tower Restaurant in Chambers st is closing. Lease is coming to it’s end, and it’s not going to be viable post pandemic
Won’t be last either unfortunately

Yeah sad to hear of a decent restaurant going, James Thompson has still got the Witchery and Prestonfield though and says they will continue.
The Vitoria Group are planning to reopen all six of their restaurants in phases.

I was appalled to see that. They were grouped around the benches on St John's Road too and they left a flipping mess inevitably.

Honestly, people are just......................people.

Went once and wasn't really blown away and opted not to go back, depite it being very handy for pre-Festival Thatre meals. There were no shortage of places handy for the Festival Theatre.

Stayed at Prestonfield House once and ate at Rhubarb there, and the whole experience was exceptional. I hope he manages to sustain it but it must be very difficult

Have used the new pizza place in Corstorphine (Slice), it was really good.

The new Ting Thai on Lothian Road also very good. Same as the other one really.

I haven’t used Slice as I saw some horrendous looking pizzas on the local FB page so decided not to bother.

I did try Papa Johns for the first time a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty decent.

I think I seemy similar pics, toppings barely covering 50% of the pizza base etc.

Has anyone tried Pizza Plus at Chesser. Noticed their wee delivery car buzzing about the manor so they're either decent or cheap!

Would say pizza plus is average thought the base seemed a bit like a frozen pizza one.

Me too, actually preferred it the the Bar B Que despite it’s great reputation.

A friend has just taken over and refitted a chippy on Marchmont Road, now called “#Fish” look forward to trying it.

Had a great takeaway from Eastern Pavillion on Saturday night, replicated what we normally have in the restaurant even down to several pints of Cobra. 😁

It's a good place. We like the Spice Lounge Kitchen but you don't get a big plateful. It's certainly an improvement on The Rainbow!

It doesn't seem to be functioning at all at the moment.

La Garrigue on Jeffrey Street. It is a regular haunt for meeting up with former colleagues and some of us were due to catch up there in April. Hearty southern French food and a decent wine list and great views if you pick the right side of the table

Oh right! It always looks a bit run down when I go past on my "power walks". That's a good deal. They do a rare pint of Guinness in there in normal times.

Can’t see me rushing back anywhere to be honest, La Piazza is our go to Italian so probably there but not for some time.

I'm in no great rush to be honest.

I had a reservation at 6ByNico that was postponed and they offered a free cocktail as compensation (unnecessary given the circumstances) so depends if there's a requirement for that to be as part of their opening menu or not.

Vittoria's would usually be my go to restaurant but I've enjoyed a few la Favorita deliveries so at least I've been having something from their wider group.

Got a burger from ‘Dirty’ on Duke Street tonight. All the beef is wagyu.

Possibly the best burger I’ve ever had. Absolutely unreal.

Got one there last night too. Was excellent. Overdid it with the sides though. My only complaint was that we ordered two of the Dirty Hot Mess burgers but I’m not convinced that was what we got as there was zero spice to either of them. An absolutely amazing burger though.
