Restaurant and Cafe Reviews in Edinburgh

We love eating out in Edinburgh so writing our Edinburgh restaurant reviews, takeaway reviews and cafe reviews was no great chore. Here's our review of Two Thin Laddies.

Review of Two Thin Laddies, Edinburgh

Two thin laddies... entered this café and weren't thin for long. Perhaps one of them was Black Books star Dylan Moran – he has been known to linger over a meal here. Who could resist the home-cooked lovelies on offer? Classic dishes rule the roost; pasta bakes, quiche, macaroni cheese, all-day fry ups, among others, and portions are sizable. A Spanish flair is evident: red pepper tortillas, chicken quesadillas and vegetarian nachos drown in lick-yer-lips guacamole, salsa, sour cream and cheese. Come hungry – the award-winning millionaire shortbread and mountainous muffins require stamina. Gluten-free options too.

GoOutIn Edinburgh Recommends

Iggs Restuarant

If you want classy, but un-intimidating, 'Iggs' is the restaurant for you. The innovative menu offers up classic Spanish tapas, re-interpreted with cunning little twists. We enjoyed delicious Presa Iberica – Iberico pork and caramelized belly, but for fish fans, seafood stew a Read more about Iggs Restuarant

Haldanes

Crouching beneath the Albany Hotel, Haldanes continues the luxurious hotel vibe; think boudoir sophistication with Frank Sinatra crooning in the background - odd but successful. Food is excellent, courses are beautifully presented pieces of art: parcelled, drizzled and balanced to perfection. A crab Read more about Haldanes

Most Popular

Chocolate Soup

This is surely the closest one can get to Willy Wonka's famous establishment and there's certainly enough confectionary here to turn you into an Augustus Gloop. There are puritanical alternatives, including bowls of hot porridge and a range of fresh coffees, but only hardened chocoholics s... Read more about Chocolate Soup

Guiliano's on the Shore

All the Italian favourites are at Guilianos on the Shore from pizza and pasta, to waiters that could double as the Super Mario Brothers. The traditional food's freshly cooked and there's a wine list as long as the Water of Leith. There's even live accordion music Mon–Wed nights,... Read more about Guiliano's on the Shore

Bar Italia

This centrally located Italian joint is consistently busy, noisy and full of energy, and so it should be. The food is fresh, tasty and cheap and if you rock up with twenty mates they won't even bat an eyelid. As such it's perfect for birthday celebrations with plenty of banter and enthusia...

Native State

GoOutIn wishes 'Avoid like syphilis' would suffice as a review, but we're afraid that might leave a lot of you feeling angry and shortchanged. You should probably channel your rage towards this abysmal establishment though – it's dark, uncomfortable, and full of students who ... Read more about Native State

Buffalo Grill

Lusting for a hunk of grilled beef? We thought so. Wild West décor and wafts of Aberdeen Angus beckon diners through the doors of Buffalo Grill. The wood-panelled dining room is the perfect place to ponder which juicy steak or massive burger to order. Prawns or homemade salsa as a starter wil... Read more about Buffalo Grill

easyInternetcafé

Brought to you by the lovely people who gave us easyJet and the like, except there are no drunken louts on the way back from Malaga. Just drunken louts trying to watch porn instead.... Read more about easyInternetcafé

Double Dutch

Despite looking fairly unappealing from the outside, this café is much nicer on the inside. Kind of like the Scottish Parliament building – with the added bonus of not being full of arseholes. Friendly staff, fair prices and an unpretentious menu of well-prepared classics make it ideal fo... Read more about Double Dutch

Pizza Paradise

A drunkard's heaven. Any place that's still open after a club closes will undoubtedly serve cheap-ass crap, but at three in the morning it's pretty much ambrosia. Legendary.... Read more about Pizza Paradise

Human Be–In

Having been to the original Human Be–In love–fest in San Fran, the summer of '69, GoOutIn arrived in full body paint, prepared to get groovy. But despite being next to the totally far out university, the place is full of people who look like they actually have jobs. There's no Dy... Read more about Human Be–In
