Ronaq at the bottom of craigleith road are doing half price food and BYOB no corkage for January. Great deal.

Could that be anything to do with the whole New Year/New Me thing, everyone trying to eat healthy (not suggesting takeaway chips are unhealthy 😳)

That’s exactly it, or at least one of the main reasons.

Just had a great boozy lunch at The Boathouse South Queensferry, drank them dry of brandy 😂

If you are flying from Edinburgh over the summer there is a new Korean Street Food place about to open in there.

Away to Rhubarb at Prestonfield tonight. Hasn’t disappointed previously.

And I jinxed it. Service and setting were great, but food was average. The steak was rubbish. Left really underwhelmed.

Vittoria on the Bridge again last night, it was far busier than I expected for January. They had both levels open and as usual the food and service were excellent. 20% Hibs ST discount too 😀.
On another note, we were in Frankenstein’s before it, the first time I have seen Frank come out! Very entertaining 😀

We went to the Greek restaurant Ella on Leith Walk last night, excellent food and very reasonable prices.

Dishoom for lunch. Outstanding.

Try their Bloody Mary cocktails. They are outstanding - esp. for breakfast!

Went to Omar Khayyam for the first time in years on Saturday night. I really enjoyed it. Some different things on the menu compared to your standard curry place. BYOB with no corkage charge was a bonus. Weirdly, we had tried to book about 6 different places on Saturday with a few weeks notice and really struggled to get anything that wasn't a 9pm booking, other than there. Was there something on?

Did Prahna's boozy brunch yesterday. Was excellent too, even though I was definitely in the minority being male there. Was worried to begin with as there was a big table full of women who were doing high pitched shrieking to begin with that was really bugging me but they soon quietened down.

My mate was at Prahna yesterday for the boozy brunch with his wife and daughter, said it was excellent.

I've seen it a couple of times. It is pretty cool.

As far as food goes, Frankenstein's was terrible for years.

Must be about 25 years ago Billy opened Frankies. I ran the Aberdeen one for years. It's mad how the punters still go nuts for the ancient hydraulic Frankie after all these years. It used to cause me no end of grief, the amount of times it broke down back then!

We are at Xingbala Hotpot near Haymarket a couple of weeks back. I really liked it.

Going to Fava on Morrison Street next, looks nice, but I don’t know anyone who’s been.

I’ve been to Fava a couple of times, it’s really good.

Have booked Eorna in Stockbridge for March. It’s a chefs table set up limited to ten guests, a tasting menu cooked in front of you, really looking forward to it.

It’s not really my bag but know a few folk who have been and they’ve all said it’s excellent.

Ive done this before down south, the food was incredible, the chef knew his stuff, but i found the whole watching and listen to him prattle on wasnt my thing. Id rather just eat it

Scran & Scallie last night, haven’t been for a couple of years, food and service was excellent.

A bit late but went to the chippie by Spencer after the Aberdeen game the other week and thought it was great - best fish and chips I've had in Edinburgh.

Was also at Hawksmoor during the week and it was extremely good. Pricey, but it was a work event thankfully. Special mention to the tirimisu and matched port dessert.

Prahna for lunch today, a lighter lunch menu with toasties and naanwiches, it was excellent.

Heading to Fhior on Broughton St today, has anyone tried there before?

Never been but several of my friends have, nothing but good reports about it.

I see In Touch on Ferry Road has closed down for good. Had many family meals there, though not been for a while - mainly because their unofficial sister restaurant with an identical menu, St Johns Curry Club is more local to me now.

It has looked dead, to be fair, whenever I've driven past in the evening recently.

It’s always empty, I presumed they were doing more takeaway orders than anything else but surprised it’s stayed open so long

Went on Wednesday, it was absolutely fantastic,Chef Brian and his business partner Glen were superb hosts. It was far better than I imagined it would be and will definitely return. We had a few cocktails in Sotto before we went to the Restaurant. The owner of Sotto who I know,(James)has done a fantastic job of transforming the old Ping On Restaurant, will be dining there soon as well.

I've got 14 work colleagues coming up to Edinburgh on may 27th so I'm looking for a restaurant that can cater for this many and is also halal (if that's the right term) as 2 of the group are Muslim.

Somewhere central would be great (as planning on doing Mary king's close tour before the food)

Any help, much appreciated.
