70% Beetroot Sauvage, restaurant review, Edinburgh Catriona Thomson August 15, 2018 Food, Restaurant Review Vinyasa, Chi Kung, Nidra, Tai Chi are not the names of delicious dishes on a menu, just a small selection of the therapies and classes on offer at the Edinburgh Community Yoga social enterprise just off...
70% Brasserie Prince by Alain Roux, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar July 27, 2018 Food, Restaurant Review Every time someone says Princess Street, instead of Princes Street, a scone in the Jenners cafe fails to rise and the One O’Clock Gun doesn’t make anyone jump out of their skin.

70% Souq, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar May 25, 2018 Food, Restaurant Review You’re either innie, or you’re outie. I suppose only people with the right kind of appropriately lint-gathering belly button need ever apply to be a belly dancer. If it’s convex, rather than...
85% Yamato, Edinburgh, restaurant review Gaby Soutar May 25, 2018 Food, Restaurant Review "Potato menu?” said the waitress. With my mouth full, I’d asked if they had a pudding menu at this restaurant, and she’d misheard me. There are, in fact, zero potatoes at this new sushi restaurant,...
