Cafe Andamiro | Welcome to Lunchquest

Given than I’d visited the three other Korean places in Edinburgh ( Kim’s Ong Gie , and Shilla ) and am starting to close in on a full set of Japanese places, Café Andamiro, recently opened on Buccleuch Street, was a must-visit.

The place was really busy when I arrived, today, which was good to see.

I went for the classic Korean hot stone bowl dish, bibimbap, opting for the meat variety.

So overall, I enjoyed our visit to Café Andamiro, but the food didn’t quite win me over.

Scores Blythe scores Café Andamiro 3/5 for food 4/5 for presentation 3.5/5 for service 3/5 for setting giving an overall 13.5/20

10 places to eat... barbecue | HeraldScotland

The menu features burgers, wings and fries, but take Joe P's recommendation and try the BBQ section.

This place also does a fine line in BBQ ribs - as a starter or a main, or a mega-menu for sharing.

Craig S "decided on the wings to start with the BBQ glaze (you can also have with hot sauce).

Scott C "ordered the pulled pork, slaw, BBQ sauce in brioche bun, some BBQ chicken wings and regular fries".

Here you'll find Brazilian style barbeque meats and James N loves the varied selection of "ribs, brisket, wing, sausages, gammon and a whole host of others.

Dinner for two, excluding drinks, £62.50 Gaby says: “New owners have reopened Black Bo’s as Blackfriars Bar & Restaurant.

Dinner for two, excluding drinks £44.50 Gaby says: “Now the capital has a brand new taqueria, Bodega, which describes itself as serving ‘Mexican street food via West Coast US food truck’… This place is certainly unique, and it’s already created a buzz – as evidenced by the amount of bearded and be-spectacled hipsters (already carrying pre-emptive beers) they were having to turn away.”

Dinner for three, excluding drinks, £59.35 Gaby says: “Edinburgh has a shortage of good gastropubs (certainly compared to Glasgow), and the Caley Sample Room is probably the best.”

Three-course dinner for two, excluding drinks: around £60 Nick says: “‘Bar’ might come before ‘restaurant’ in its full title, but it’s clear that The Magnum is more of a dining room than a lounge bar.

Dinner for two, excluding drinks £66.20 Gaby says: “The vibe in this restaurant, which also boasts a three-year-old sister branch in Newhaven and a Bangkok Bar on Broughton Street, is low-lit and spa-like, with a musical play-list that might be called something like Heartbreaking Anthems To Make You Sob Into Your Laksa… My main was a clever Italian spin on a Thai dish – osso bucco massaman (£17.95) and there was a bucket-worth of it.”

El Quijote (13a Brougham Street, Edinburgh) | The List

The 2018 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £7.95 (+ ).

El Quijote manages a neat trick of being inauthentically authentic Spanish.

In Spain, tapa are little snacks handed over as you order a drink in the bar, but here they are the main event.

El Quijote is worth targeting for the wine list alone – a triumphant display of the diverse elegance of Spain’s wine regions, from earthy riojas to a rías baixas albariño so flinty you could strike a match on it.

There’s lots of choice, but all are an easily quaffed accompaniment to the restaurant’s enticing nibbles.

Ong Gie (22a Brougham Place, Edinburgh) | The List

Friendly Korean barbecue in the varied cuisine hotspot of Tollcross.

The friendly staff will teach you how to order, eat, and in the case of barbecue, to cook your Korean food like a native – and as one of the first Korean restaurants in town, they know a thing or two about it.

Galbi (beef short rib) is the most popular of Korean barbecue meats.

Marinated in sweet soy and garlic till tender, it is laid on the grill and cut into squares by the scissor-wielding server.

For pudding, the duo of sweet bean paste dumplings is an unusual and delightful way to round off a meal.

Restaurant review: Ong Gie, Edinburgh - The Scotsman

You might not be able to tell from the outside (as the windows are usually steamed up), but this Korean eatery is big on the indoor barbecue (or gogigui) and there are electric griddles built into some of the tables.

From a choice of 13 starters, we shared three, including deep fried tofu (£4.80), which came as four polystyrene-coloured planks of thinly-battered bean curd, with a good sweet soy and spring onion dip.

While we scarfed these dishes, our griddle slowly heated up for our first main course – chicken bulgogi (£11).

The tang soo yuk (£9), or sweet, sour and crispy pork – a Chinese dish that’s big in Korea – featured nibs of meat in a pale and blistered batter, with a jammy sauce over the top and a nest of crispy flat noodles.

In a vinegary hot sauce, carrots, spring greens and onions were being grappled by soft tentacles.
