Cam & Jude Laidlaw’s street-food business turned permanent on Edinburgh’s Southside continues to win a good rep: “really wacky, fun dishes. Asian fusion, but without the baggage. Great pricing and good drinks... It’s the perfect neighbourhood joint”.

This “new, super-fun” spot on Edinburgh’s Southside offers small plates of ‘a sophisticated take on junk food’ from Cam & Jude Laidlaw, whose lockdown recipe blog led to a food vendor stall which won a triple crown of Scottish, British & European street food championships in 2022. The bricks-and-mortar site opened last year, and their “Asian fusion” dishes (for example, hand-dived Orkney scallop with confit oxtail) converts guests into “big fans”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
