Indeed. Will be in Edinburgh this weekend though at my inlaws. I shall seek solace in the St Vincents bar and maybe get out to North Berwick.

Haven't been to St Vincents for a while as it goes.
I must remember that next time I'm out and stop just living in the Orchard.

Inlaws live on Heriot Row so it's the closest place to me that I like.
Going to try and get a table at Bleu Escargot as well.

You can book it online.

You usually need 3 weeks notice for a weekend but you never know. also, they've opened a sister place in the west end, L'escargot blanc, which I reckon is as good but is much easier to get in.

We' ve been a few times before - the owners are friends of my sister-in-law.
