Kebabish

Hendersons Restaurant

My review today comes from Hendersons, perhaps the most legendary of Edinburgh veggie institutions, but I feel I must explain that my intentions had been a little different. Earlier Id decided to hea...

Wagamama

MJs VerdictToday was manic. It’s that time when everything suddenly has to be done and dusted quite soon and I was wide awake at a bit before 6am and ready to take on the day. Luckily, my friends kno...

Frankie & Bennys

The Broughton Deli

Locanda de Gusti

Inside the stylish restaurantMJs Verdict On Sunday I was gently coerced into going to Locanda de Gusti. I say coerced because I had a moment of panic where I needed to finish some work and cancelled ...

Burger King

Well, we seem to have dived-off into an amusing little vignette, focussing on some “restaurants” that weren’t originally within our field of interest. It’s funny how life, and lunch, works out, somet...

Filmhouse Café

After agreeing last Saturday to start a review of Edinburghs eateries from a veggie perspective, it was time to get out the notepad and put my money, or in this case veggie food, where my mouth is. S...

Hongfu Noodle Bar

Castle Terrace
