What are the best food and drink businesses in Portobello for a little round-up what I'm doing?

Wow yesterday's @BritStreetFood Awards Scottish Heats were epic - it's amazing to see so many great Scottish street food traders all under one roof @thepittmarket. Here are some of the judge's favourites: Antojitos, Chicken Skoop, The Fat Flamingos and Barnacles & Bones.

sad to report we've had more than 35 covers cancel for a 24hour period with not much notice, please think of your small independents and try not to cancel last minute

If you’re leaving bad reviews for restaurants because of ‘slow service’ whilst everyone is struggling with smaller teams at the moment... GET. IN. THE. SEA.

Can everyone stop saying 'hot girl summer' and start saying 'pizza on the beach girl summer'? Please and thank you. Papped at the new Prom Slice by @civerinos_slice, eating pizza and drinking Aperol slushies - what a time to be alive! #edinburgh #portobello #visitscotland

There's a very exciting #giveaway over at instagram.com/plateexpectati… to win two £30 vouchers for Sister Bao! Get involved. #edinburgh #edinburghrestaurants #SupportLocalBusinesses

Last night’s toastie in Alby’s. Bakery Andante focaccia stuffed with jalapeño poppers, mozzarella, chilli crumb and ‘nduja. Sorry @gsoutar 😉 #edinburghfood #saycheese

@gsoutar I think the jalapeño popper toastie with added nduja has my name written all over it. Can't wait!

@PlateExpects Lucky you! What are you going to have? The coronation chicken katsu sounds good this week.

I think about Alby's sandwiches quite a lot.

Ya big tease!

A little snippet of yesterday's super natural restaurant shoot in the new Sister Bao on S Clerk Street. This is a female owned and operated authentic Chinese restaurant specializing in bao, dumplings and noodles... and it belongs at the top of your takeaway list! #edinburghfood

Well ain't that a dreamy list of ingredients! Sounds like my favourite menu yet too...
