75% Pho Viet, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar July 25, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review Some might say it’s not the season for soup. Along with snoods, Vaporub and crumpets, cullen skink, cock-a-leekie and miso have mostly been shelved until autumn. I, however, find it hard to have my daily...
80% Razzo Pizza Napoletana, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar July 24, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review I am getting on. My tastebuds are fading, my teeth crumbly and I have to squint to see the small print on menus. Constant reflux and cholesterol deposits in my retinas act as memento moris. With these jolly...
70% Montpeliers, Edinburgh, restaurant review Catriona Thomson July 14, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review Not for nothing is breakfast said to be the most important meal of the day. What could be finer than that first cup of coffee, or biting into freshly buttered toast? However, better than staying at home in...
65% Kukina, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar July 12, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review The best thing I ever saw on Leith Walk was a guy and his staffy in matching gold chains and black Adidas tracksuits. But now, halfway down, there’s something even better than the semi-canine version of...
70% Cafe Ink, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar July 5, 2019 Food, General, In the News, Restaurant Review I don’t know anyone who’s had a face lift. However, I imagine that a Simon Cowell/Jocelyn Wildenstein-esque transformation comes as a shock. This now beautiful restored building – once the North...
85% Seafood Shack, Ullapool, restaurant review Gaby Soutar June 28, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review My husband’s family like to take part in a sport called extreme picnicking. This involves going out in a rainstorm, snow, hail, biblical midge swarm or other negative environmental event, unpacking lunch,...
90% Mono, Edinburgh, restaurant review Catriona Thomson June 23, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review Perhaps I’ve bitten off more than I can chew? This is not something that I’ve ever done before. What was I thinking? Volunteering to go out for dinner alone? I’m fine with grabbing a hasty lunch solo...
78% Hula Juice Bar & Cafe, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar June 21, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review When you have zero hip action, hula-hooping is tricky. I know this, since I recently tried the fitness experience that is Powerhoop. As the others in my class shimmied happily, with the hoop whipping...
80% Bo & Birdy, Glasgow, restaurant review Gaby Soutar June 11, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review It’s quilted, has a chain handle and costs over three grand (if it’s kosher Chanel and lambskin, or £12 for pleather that you secretly got down the Barras). I spotted four of the same handbag – one...
75% Little White Pig, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar June 7, 2019 Food, Restaurant Review What would be even better than having an actual little white pig at this restaurant? No, not a hedgehog in neon leg-warmers, smoking a pipe, that’s ridiculous. I’d say a one-eyed pug and an Italian...
