Review: Blood Brothers, Edinburgh Playhouse
Seeing Blood Brothers again after so many years was an unforgettable experience, says Fiona Tenneb. ★★★★★ The first time I saw Blood Brothers I was 13 years old, and the musical was relatively new. Even at that young age, the story made a lasting impression on me. Over the years, it stayed with me, and…
Read MoreReview: Chaophraya, Edinburgh
With stunning views of Edinburgh Castle, Chaophraya is often found on lists of must-visit restaurants in the city. Oozing with atmosphere and ambience, the restaurant is known for offering flavoursome Thai cuisine from an extensive menu, so I was delighted to hear about and try their new breakfast menu. Located on the third floor of…
Read MoreReview: The Bridge Inn, Ratho
Just a short drive from Edinburgh lies The Bridge Inn, the perfect spot for a night away from the city, finds Alister Tenneb. Ratho sits on The Union Canal a few miles South West of Edinburgh and The Bridge Inn – yes you guessed it is right next to the bridge over the canal. We…

Richard Bath heads to Edinburgh’s first pacific-fusion restaurant to try out the offerings. Cabo, which has taken over the space once occupied by Scotland rugby legend Simon Taylor’s bohemian 99 Hanover bar, is a month-old new eaterie marketed as sitting ‘at the intersection of Asian and Latin American cuisine, offering a unique Pacific fusion’ that…
Read MoreReview, The Fifth Step: Slow Horses Jack Lowden is remarkable in this dark comedy
Jack Lowden and Sean Gilder are remarkable in this latest production from David Ireland which is sincere and serious at times but funny throughout, says Ellie Forbes. ★★★★ Appal us, then make us laugh. That’s the David Ireland way. Delivering big societal questions wrapped in dark humour, there is a shock value to his work.…

I know what you’re thinking – why go out for BBQ when you could do it yourself at home? But that’s not the point. With BBQ, you’re not going for fan fare of a plated meal but for the selection of quality ingredients and the bonding experience with family, friends, and/or colleagues. And sometimes you…
Read MoreReview: Kinara, Glasgow
Ellie Forbes tries out one of Glasgow’s newest Indian restaurants, Kinara. I haven’t been lucky enough to visit India. Friends who have made the trip have regaled me with stories of the incredible food, but plans to visit have just sadly never come to fruition. Recently, however, I was treated to a gastronomic voyage…
Read MoreReview: Skua pop-up
The team behind one of Stockbridge’s hottest bars, Skua, is host a street food pop-up, Coop on Potterrow in Fettle Cafe. Richard Bath popped in to try it out. Whether you’re a ten-minute walk away at The Pleasance or the a couple of hundred yards away at the main Fringe hub at the university on Bristo…
Read MoreReview: The Grahamston, Glasgow
Ellie Forbes heads to The Grahamston at Radisson Blu Glasgow to sample their new menu. I like getting dressed up on a Saturday evening for a night in the city. It’s a marked change from the usual Monday to Friday attire of muddy dog walking gear. And if you are in the market for…
Read MoreReview: Zhima, Glasgow
Ellie Forbes heads out to Glasgow’s latest hotspot, Zhima, a Chinese restaurant with a modern feel and incredible interiors. I’m not really one for a ‘sit down’ Chinese meal. In all honesty, I’d rather stay in and order my favourites from my local takeaway. You know what you’re getting and you don’t have to…
