Review: Tattu’s ‘Wisdom of Dragon Menu’, Edinburgh
It may have been been a few years since I graduated from university, but I can never say no to a celebration – especially a celebratory meal. The first step to creating that celebratory feeling is atmosphere, and Tattu has this in spades. Decorated in plush golds, purple lighting and the vibrant pinks from the…

Ellie Forbes swaps the hustle and bustle of Glasgow for a chilled-out break by the coast and it truly soothed the soul. The beach is always a good idea in my book. Give me the salty sprays of the sea any day. So I have decided to escape the city for a weekend by…

Read MoreReview: Six By Nico Edinburgh West kicks off with The Chippie
It’s getting a little tricky to keep up with the latest progress in Chef Nico Simeone’s quest for culinary world domination. But as it’s part of my remit, I’m doing my level best.

Read MoreREVIEW: Small plate dining at Skua
Rosie Morton tries the latest menu at Skua, a Stockbridge eatery that is celebrating its first birthday. The other day, I was sitting in the Stockbridge ‘Neighbourgood’ food market, watching seagulls divebomb unsuspecting merrymakers. Dogs barked, grown men screamed, and chips were sent flying. It was all quite entertaining. Less entertaining would be being dive-bombed by…

Pomelo is an Edinburgh establishment you always hear about. It’s so popular that you often have to make a reservation weeks in advance to get a table, especially for their collaborative menus. Their focus is on creating innovative Asian fusion dishes using local Scottish produce. ‘Fusion’ is a word I hesitate on when deciding where…

I think most restaurants are trying to create a space which separates us from the world outside, an escape from the humdrum of everyday life. So if you’re looking for a quick reprieve and a bit of fun, a…
Read MoreReview: Ardfern, Edinburgh
Richard Bath tries out the latest eatery from award-winning chef Roberta Hall McCarron. I’ve been lucky enough to have reviewed more than my fair share of fancy dan, 10-course tasting menu-style establishments over the past few months – most of them new openings – so it was nice to get back to somewhere more earthy.…
Read MoreA wellness weekend in southwest Scotland
There’s something about being by water that makes my heart sing. As we rolled up to Trump Turnberry, which has enjoyed vast views of the Firth of Clyde and Ailsa Craig for well over 100 years, I couldn’t help but breathe a little deeper. Fresh sea air blew strongly, sending a Saltire flag high above…
