It was whilst eating fishcakes in the bar side of this bar/restaurant that I decided to buy in Leith. Book early for the restaurant, you won't be disappointed.

Before Chop Chop, this was my favourite local Chinese, and it's just 5 mins walk. Good range. Right by a Chinese Centre and always has Chinese eating there.

Love this little local park for good weather, lounging around, getting some green, a 2 min walk out the flat. Turn right, go over the lights, and you'll hit the SE corner.
