Baubles and I are meeting for coffee, or perhaps early lunch at the Art Gallery on the Mound on 1st March (a Friday). Who would like to join us?

MarionHalcombe there is always Hendersons in Hanover street. It's not posh but relaxed and the food is lovely and all vegetarian. There is wine, waiter service and often live music in the evenings.

Sorry Forrage and Chatter was for MarionH, but expect you all realised that anyway ! grin.

Jangran99 Sun 17-Feb-19 22:48:18

They are going to have to extend the bar! Count me in girls, a bar lunch will be fine by me, a blether and good company!

Marydoll Sun 17-Feb-19 22:36:56

It would be lovely to see you, OldGoat.?

oldgoat Sun 17-Feb-19 22:21:22

OH and I are spending a few days in Berwick at the end of February and due to go home on the 1st March so I'll see if I can work out a way to come and join you at Cranstons. Please can you pencil me in and I'll confirm in a day or two.

Elegran Sun 17-Feb-19 22:14:15

A bar lunch suits me too, Marelli.

Elegran Sun 17-Feb-19 22:13:03

The Old Waverley, (opposite the station steps) where we are thinking of going on 1st March, has given us a good meal whenever we have been there. www.oldwaverley.co.uk/cranstons-restaurant.html They are reviewed on Tripadvisor www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186525-d191450-Reviews-The_Old_Waverley_Hotel-Edinburgh_Scotland.html
Others may have other suggestions.

Lickety spit! Its all done. smile

A bar lunch suits me. Thanks, ?Marelli

cascats Sun 17-Feb-19 21:34:54

forrage and chatter?

Marelli Sun 17-Feb-19 21:31:30

Jane10, I think that's the best idea - having a bar meal at the Old Waverley. Baubles had a look at the bar menu and says they do things like baked potatoes, sandwiches, etc - would that would be OK for us?
weenanni59, it would be lovely to have you join us. ?
That makes 8 of us now.
I'll give it another day, then book us a table. I'm sure we can add a few more if anyone else would like to come.

Jane10 Sun 17-Feb-19 21:04:56

Aizle?

MarionHalcombe Sun 17-Feb-19 20:56:57

Good Evening all. ?. I'm hijacking slightly, well not slightly at all really. Dh and I are in your beautiful city for the weekend for our wedding anniversary tomorrow. We are both vegetarian and had booked in at David Bann for a celebratory meal. However we went for brunch today and weren't really impressed by the service and atmosphere . Any recommendations for a Monday night? We'd rather have a limited choice with good food and a lovely night than lots of choice but not enjoy ourselves as much. Thanks for any thoughts and sorry for the hijack.

weenanni59 Sun 17-Feb-19 20:54:25

I will be in Edinburgh that weekend and would love to come ?

Jane10 Sun 17-Feb-19 20:49:26

I suppose we could just have a bar lunch in the Old Waverley lounge bar? Otherwise there are the restaurants on St Andrews Square. The Ivy, Dishoom etc but very expensive and not necessarily very informal.

cascats Sun 17-Feb-19 19:48:54

Waverley? or are we looking for something more informal?

Marelli Sun 17-Feb-19 19:19:33

Oh no!! What shall we do? Have you any ideas, Jane?

Jane10 Sun 17-Feb-19 18:01:14

The Scottish Gallery Restaurant is closed. It closed in January as there's all sorts of building work going on there. I just checked!

Marelli Sun 17-Feb-19 16:55:38

Jane10 it will be lovely to have you there. Red-faced and dodgy exercise gear, regardless. ☺️
Marydoll, hopefully we'll see you, there.
Grammaretto, there'll surely be another meetup again, soon!
(... and Elizabeth1 - you just lie back in the sun with your vino ☀️??!)

Posssibly me. I'm waiting for a hospital appointment for the day ward, I know it will be a Friday and very soon.
Could you please make me *maybe aye or maybes naw".

I would love to come, so here's hoping. I will let you know as soon as I can.

Elegran Sun 17-Feb-19 16:02:04

That could describe any of us, Jane

baubles Sun 17-Feb-19 15:37:55

Always room for a red faced person in dodgy exercise gear Jane10 grin
