Dragonfly

This is apparently the oldest cocktail bar in Edinburgh.

Got the Whisky Away drink. It seemed like it would have been an old fashion with a banana twist, but it was not as sweet as expected, which I was kind of disappointed.

My friend got the Ka Pao Tao (or something like that) drink, which I thought was great.

Also tried their cheese plate. The Scottish brie was pretty terrible, but I did like the Scottish Gouda.

We went on a Tuesday night so vibe was pretty dead. So maybe would go back on a Thursday or Friday night.

The Table

So I don’t remember too much of this place (came here after a solid night of drinking at Vince’s place), however, we ordered a couple of small dishes (2 of them are below), plus some champagne (which was $99). I did like the ambience of the place, and would definitely want to come back (I recall they had a restaurant part and a more “bar-ish” part).

Vino Santo Bistro

Another great Italian place. Most people here were a bit dressed up (so we slightly stood out, but that was not an issue).

We started at the bar. I got two drinks, the first one was spot on (just the right amount of sweetness, and it was also very refreshing). Unfortunately I do not recall what the drink was called (it is on their cocktail list). I believe it was rum based.

For appetizers, we got the calamari. For my main dish, I got the lobster ravioli. Both were great, but I would try another main dish next time I visited (but as mentioned the ravioli was delicious).
