We’re foodies. Alex and I, despite 20 years together actually have very little in common. It’s ok, we both cheerfully admit this and recognise it’s what seems to make it work. We even both forgot our anniversary this year, remembering […]
Well summer has certainly arrived in style, temperatures of 30 degrees and above have meant that Edinburgh has been hotter than Rio De Janeiro and Mumbai! I’ve attended two outdoor festivals in the past couple of weeks and I intend […]
Paul Tamburrini has form, his previous post was at The Honours, somewhere we rated really highly. I was therefore very keen to see how Bistro Deluxe would measure up. The MacDonald Holyrood Hotel in which it resides was far smarter […]
