Just read that Miro's Cantina in Rose Street has closed for good as from today, hasn't survived the pandemic, a real shame as it was, IMO, THE best mexican in Edinburgh

Had never got round to trying there.

If you’re looking for a good Mexican then El Cartel is outstanding.

I’ll second this. The special fish is superb

I actually wish it was ***** as I’ve had two in the last week or so

Anyone got recommendations for restaurants in Liverpool?

Heading down there at the start of July for a few nights.

Went to Taisteal last night, 1st visit since it moved from Stockbridge to bigger premises in Forth Street, really cant recommend it highly enough, the food last night was amazing, really tasty. Not cheap but definitely worth a visit for something special.

I went to Pepe Nero the other night which has taken over where Taisteal used to be. Food was average but it was ridiculously cheap so not going to complain.

Going to Martin Wishart on Saturday for lunch. Had to wait to 3 months for a booking but hopefully it will be worth it.

Booked in for August as post-House move #2 of the year (for me) / house move #3 of the year (for my girlfriend) treat.

Last weekend I visited Gurka cafe with a couple of mates. Its my first restaurant quality curry in 18 months and I fair enjoyed it.

The day after I went to down the hatch for lunch. Loved it, had a drip beef sandwich with a side of poutine and didn't need to eat for the rest of the day.

Safe to say it was absolutely exquisite. We went for the taster menu and a couple of the courses were up there with the very best I've ever tasted.

**Mr Grieves** · 12-06-2021 08:19 PM

Had lunch at Herringbone in North Berwick today. Lovely trout and lime pate for starter and sticky breaded chicken for main, washed down with a couple of pints of Staropramen, and a 99 for dessert from the ice cream van down at the harbour. Bliss

***J-C*** · 13-06-2021 04:00 PM

Had a wonderful meal at Six by Nico on Hanover Street, my lads bought my wife a voucher for her 60th, so this was a belated birthday meal. 6 fantastic taster courses all themed around the circus, with a different wine with every course. Thoroughly recommend it but you have to book well In advance.

Anyone ever been to Noto? Booked to go on Saturday, looking forward to it. Sounds unreal.

Will do

***Future17*** · 15-06-2021 11:14 PM

Had the 3 course lunch menu at Purselane at the weekend.

Very enjoyable and good value for money on the food, though I heard the wine was expensive.

Pachuko Cantina?
Haven’t been in the centre of Edinburgh for almost a year

Grove St Pachuko closed years ago. Same guy now runs Lupe Pinto deli in Leven St up from the King's. Great place.

Not really a restaurant as it is a takeaway place but does anyone else find the whole thing around Dirty Burger on Duke Street a bit bizarre. Open at weird times, shut when it’s meant to be open, sometimes you have to put an order in days in advance. Claims it’s shut down for good. Reopens fairly quickly. Gives food away for free. Rebrands. Rebrands back to Dirty. Shut again for other pop-up. Rebrands again. Repeat.

All for a place that only opened last year.

It’s a shambles

Shame as their burgers are outstanding. But I can’t be arsed with them anymore. They’ve opened up as a taco place now, think they’re trying to pass it off as if it’s not the same owners but they’re making lasagne tacos which was on the dirty menu at one point and I’d suspect you’re not getting two people independent of each other wanting to make them never mind in the exact same building

It’s a shame, only thing I can think is that they’ve had trouble sourcing enough wagyu to make it work as it was certainly popular.

If you’re looking for a good take away burger I’d highly recommend Luxford burger

Yep, I like Luxford, though they’ve had their struggles with the Leith site.

It’s definitely the same guy. You can tell by the smart arsed replies to folk on social media fairly pointing out its all a bit weird.

Went to Noto last night, it was exceptional

The waiter suggested ordering 3 smaller dishes and 2 bigger dishes and it was the perfect amount of food. Ended up throwing a dessert on to share at the end as well.

Would highly recommend it.

La Casa in Dalry Road today. Excellent atmosphere, service and food. The Leith Walk one is good too.

I cannot recommend the crab butter highly enough. It’s their specialty apparently.
