We seem to be moving further and further off topic here now. Please feel free to use this thread for holiday enquiries about Glasgow or Edinburgh, but perhaps discussion about alcohol and ancestors, etc could be continued via PM or in Chatroom please.

Many thanks

David I am so sorry, I got carried away with the excitment of finding my rellies :D An I think everyone else was excited and happy with me.

Back on subject can anyone recommend somewhere to have lunch in Edinburgh, near the Castle or NAS area?

Thank You.

Deacon Brodies on the Royal Mile. Excellent food at reasonable prices.

Hi Wilson
It looks a lovely old pub, and with some history too.
William sounds a character doesn't he.
It looks like the place mum and I are after for a lunch


Thank you

Thank you.

Hi again Karen
The Ubiquitous chip has a really good reputation for Scottish food,you might like to take a look at the menus here. Aberdeen Angus steak is on there. :)

Hi Karen

Yes I would agree with Fiona 'the chip' would be a good choice for your steak, and it's not far from your hotel, just off Byres Rd.

Thanks Fiona/Graham,

What is Red Chard?

Steak and Pepper Sauce Mmmmmmm That's my diner sorted :wink:
And Stovies too Mmm, but I might have Stovies up Glencoe in the Green Wellie.

Thank you

Hi Karen
Although I haven't been in the chip for a meal since November last year,think you should enjoy it. I went with a friend then who's originally from Brooklyn N.Y. and who loved it. :) (Sorry I can't comment on the steak though,I'm vegetarian.)

Think you'll recognise red chard from here. http://www.britishleafysalads.co.uk/know/leaf-guide.shtml

P.S.Sorry Graham :lol: Think we were typing at roughly the same time.

P.P.S. :lol: Graham,nah!...I prefer it that way. :lol:

Just to clarify, if we go up stairs to the restaurant, then is the Wee Pub downstairs for a drink.
The Wee Pub looks really cute.
I have to take a photo of mum standing outside it. :lol:

Hi again!
Yes Karen,my favourite area..since it's so local... to go for a drink or two and something to eat :wink: :D
The Wee Pub is around the corner from 'the chip' although obviously it belongs to the same owner. :)
You've also got their flagship bar upstairs in the restaurant and at street level on the corner,the 'sister' bar.
Hope this helps too.
By the way,in case that's confusing,Ashton Lane is T shaped.

Hi Graham

All the pubs do look nice don't they, try them all :shock:
Last time I was in Glasgow I was drinking Cola Cube Shots :yuck nice but very sweet, SIL bought it for me.
I'll try all the pubs if you and Fiona join us :lol: :lol:

Fiona,
I don't go to the pubs here in London, but if I lived in Glasgow I would be a regular in Ashton Lane, it looks really nice and inviting, very quaint.
How did I miss it last year :?

At the Chip you have Restaurant Dinner, or Upstairs Dinner :?: What is the difference?
After the Steak in the Restaurant Dinner is says (Plus £9.00)
Any idea what this means :?:

Can't wait to have a wee dink in the wee pub :wink:

Hi Karen
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. :lol: Wasn't online much yesterday.
The Restaurant menu prices are fixed and you'd be eating your Steak in the "Courtyard". That's the most sought after area to Dine in.
The food is exactly the same quality,items on the menu are individually priced and cheaper for the Steak, at least!! if you were to have "Upstairs Dinner"...not in the Courtyard.
Basically,you'd pay extra for the location! :lol:
It is lovely in the Courtyard though,especially for a special occasion. :)
The Wee Pub is really nice and probably not as studenty as some of the other bars in Ashton Lane.
(My no.1.favourite bar is Bobar at the top of Byres rd,although not what you're looking for, I reckon. It's very contemporary.)
