"I’m a big ice cream fan and have tried many spots throughout the city. I decided to try this branch at the recommendation of a friend, travelling an hour out of my way to try it. I was stupendously disappointed, both by the place and the ice cream they are apparently so famous for. I chose to sit in in the cafe upstairs so I could have a more elaborate sundae. I ordered a fudge sundae with some extra toppings. The ice cream itself seemed rather bland. The flavour wasn’t at all noticeable and the toppings were sparse at best. Additionally, there were definite problems going on within the staff. The waiter who served me was very sweet and made sure I had everything I needed, a very young man who was incredibly friendly. But there was a very unpleasant woman who was frequently back and forth throughout the place who I assume to be some form of management. The staff definitely seemed on edge around her and she wasn’t particularly pleasant when I stopped her to ask about the take away tubs this was only because she was transporting some. Her attitude rather upset me as despite the lacklustre sundae, I was rather enjoying my time there. I had planned on taking some home, hoping the tubs would be better when I could add my own toppings. Although, after this experience I decided to quickly get my bill from the (very efficient) waiter and leave immediately. I certainly wouldn’t wish to return and would recommend others don’t attend either."

"slightly unusual offer: wedgwood make picnic ham on request. they are ready to order, and I had luck getting a gift. paul, the chef, apparently took the idea of a vegan hampers as a personal project. I can highly recommend the result. we received an eleven-course menu for two in two small ham, among them wee glasses, milk flask of coffee cups, tellers, cutlery, serviettes and hand cleaners. ice packs meant that eating was still cooled when we started eating 7 hours after the collection. the wine was chosen to fit the budget of the gifter; we were told it was a little unusual — translation: absurdly drunk straight out, the crust oil was a big hit, with crust bread soaked; we have wolfed through a whole rice bean salad and beautifully presented baked mushroom cous (with decorative mushroom-y flakes) (we have a very tasty pasta to find, roasted veg. six courses left — portion control! next was one of the two real stars of the show: a sprudel, nussbaum and granatapfelsalat with tangigem dressing. as good as it looks (see photo) at this place we were a little lavish, so we only slightly picked up the oriental nudels, the roasted asparagus with cale and sniffing grains and the sesame runner beans and left the leaves later. on dessert: the simple description of granola, chocolate, berries just doesn't make it fair. this was effective a chocolate fondue with fresh celestial, strawberry and mini-granola slices to dive, accompanied by coffee. 9 hours after picking up the coffee was still hot when it no longer pierced. so overall: the No-doubt market price was more than matched by the experience: eating was delicious, and often also a firm one for the eyes; the portions generous; the weinstellar - and we had not finished our eleven-course picnic after three hours. we had a few days later rest and I greet as I think of some of the dishes. beyond a couple of dry mandarins I think that my only complaining would be rather a suggestion for less weight in the early erect: to find themselves so full after the rice, the couscous and pasta made us a little strenuous, but perhaps we would have decided to eat more responsibly. the gifted reported to find lisa wedgwood, especially appealing and helpful while arranging the hamper."

"best authentic pizza in edinburgh. if they are looking for the best pizza outside italian – they avoid the “pizza house” chains (the jamies ersatz italian and the inflated egos and the consuming feeling of the service in the small Italian delicacies, the lothian road and hannover street are popping up (think about Macho-Italian versions of missrsham without the spirit) there is also a large selection of pizza alternatives: pasta etc. but as a veggie I tend to keep with what the jolly made famous. if they want a real bargain and must seriously fill with the day they can be a three cure lunch for £6.10 (rather choice including pizza, which must be the best worth in the city. a decent bottle of wine is about £15 – the house red/white served in carafes is considerably cheaper, what if it is not fussy, is okay. I trust no one who is sneaky over the jolly – and these people exist. okay, okay, the place is big, bright, busy, filled with kitsch, and may always seem so slightly chaotic – not fooling, the place runs like a well-oiled machine. but that’s why it’s so authentic italian – there are couples who sit next to big parties “in for the Playhouse”, local individual guides “in for their tea”, enthusiastic tourists and the occasional inebriated local politicians (it’s beguished that alex salmond gets his pizzas delivered from here, but I have actually not seen “the pie man” sitting on the space! a traitor in the jolly?"
