Jimmy Chung's
17 Waverley Bridge, EH1 1BQ, Edinburgh
from irishphat (80%) on August 17th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Not much to say - it's not bad, slightly packed in seats but it's reasonable, tasty and it is what it is. I'd go again but I wouldn't make a big deal about it.

Buffet King
6a Nicolson Street, EH8 9DH, Edinburgh
from irishphat (80%) on August 17th, 2007 (1 year ago)
I love this place. This was a coffee shop way back in the day that was owned by a pal of JK rowling and she used to sit up in there writing the book and minding her nipper. Food's ok and it's comfy. Good for a pre-cinema nosh.
The starters are always good and if you go after 6 pm you can get the crispy duck pancakes. The mains are as you would expect (actually I kind of fancy one now) and as usual you can help yourself as much as you like. Desserts can be a bit ropey but the icecream is tasty and plentiful. Tends to get a bit of studenty crowd and is not as busy as Jimmy Chungs.

Been here ages ago - was pretty dead outside the core office-drinking hours. Wasn't blown away by it but don't remember it being awful either. Would go again if it was busy and had a buzz.

Atrium
10 Cambridge Street, EH1 2ED, Edinburgh
from irishphat (80%) on August 17th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Went here for a big anniversary dinner and really enjoyed it. Hit the wallet pretty hard but difficult to complain when the food is such high quality... Great staff with good knowledge on the wines (not necessarily experts but they had plenty to say and had suggestions and were patient when we had a long discussion about what wine to choose).
Quite down to earth as well and not in the slightest bit pretentious but it was a little quiet when we were in there.
If money isn't an object then I highly recommend it. I'll go again (but only on special occasions).
I had scallops on rissotto to start which was yum, followed by a veal main which was filling and very tasty and then I had the cheese board for my final course and that was well tasty - no shortage of crackers either or indeed any raised eyebrows when I asked for extra helpings of them (twice).
Herself had duck to start and sea bass followed by a chocolate cake dessert. She was very pleased also. Will definitely go again and will always recommend it for those with big wallets or special occaisions.

The Cambridge Bar
20 Young Street, EH2 4JB, Edinburgh
from irishphat (80%) on August 17th, 2007 (1 year ago)
As Mdavidson says it's good fare (they only do burgers). I'm surprised he knows the numbers of items on the menu mind you. Usually busy and they're very accommodating and well located. Food stops at half 9 though so late diners beware.
I've had several of the burgers here and they're always very tasty. Service is Quick and the chips are fine as well. always filling for what you pay as well.

Wannaburger
217 High Street, EH1 1PE, Edinburgh
from irishphat (80%) on August 17th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Slightly cheap on the fixtures but excellent burgers, quick service and not outrageous on the wallet. Went there for a big birthday meal and it was fine before the pub while it's always reliable for a spot of tasty lunch. I'll go again.

Chimichangas
178a Easter Road, EH7 5QQ, Edinburgh
from MisterT (10%) on August 17th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Generous portions for the money, 6 quid should be enough to fill you up. Food was excellent and didn't have to wait too long. Will definitely be using them again. Not sure if they deliver or not but I live a minute away so I don't need it.

Abstract
33-35 Castle Terrace, EH1 2EL, Edinburgh
from Owen (35%) on August 16th, 2007 (1 year ago)
This relatively new restuarant is a lovely addition to the Edinburgh restuarant scene. Fairly pricey in the evenings, but £12.95 for 2 courses at lunch is exceptional value. I had the Scottish Salmon Gravadlax to start, followed by the exquisite Roasted Guinea Fowl Breast with Foie Gras.
The service was perfectly competent and attentive. The ambience is lovely. It is only my stingyness that prevented me from giving it an unprecedented 5 stars.

from maggot (28%) on August 15th, 2007 (1 year ago)
I also had one of the best meals ever and I'm not vegetarian but Mexican does it every time along with fruit smoothies. Would definitely go back to this restaurant.
