Food in Scotland... is actually good.

Cream tea on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh....
Black tea, thick cream and fluffy scones, you can't lose.

At the Lilac Restaurant in Edinburgh...

This last one, I ate before I remembered to take a photo, it was soooo good. A fennel tart with spices and onions.

Edinburgh
3.5/5 not half bad.

Edinburgh...foodie capital of Britain?

Food n Booze in Edinburgh includes excellent cheese shops, sad but tasty piggies and amazing scotch tasting rooms! In general, I had some really great (foodie-centric) nights out in this crazy town. Excellent other eateries included a turkish restaurant with cozy atmosphere and great live music called Templebar(must recheck the name I was a bit drunk this time) and an elegant French restaurant called the Iris served a mouth watering pork tenderloin with grilled fennel. The 'chip butty' thing didn't appeal to me though. Who wants a shitty burger bun, stuffed with starchy fries covered in 'brown sauce' ie. gravy unless you are super wasted (which I wasn't).




4/5 for Edinburgh. It´s restaurants are fabulous but it´s local cuisine is lacking seriously, except for the scotch.
