Walter Payton Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 But just in case she doesn't, can anyone recommend a good place to go in the centre of Edinburgh? A girl I've been seeing for a while is coming up from Newcastle on Tuesday night (which I've got planned down to a T ) and while I could always lay on breakfast at mine I thought it would be nice to treat her to somewhere nice in town, preferably with good views or something. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bapswent Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Looks like it's closed for refurb just now... any other ideas? Best breakfast i ever ate was in the Prestonfield house hotel. I guess that a bit out your way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbos Right Peg Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I've heard that a walk on Porty beach and petit dejeuner in Bijou gets the job done Although I am finding BWT's tale 'hard to swallow' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any ideas? British Home Stores do a good cooked breakfast. Either eight items or ten- the choice is yours and you get to pick exactly what you want- plus they lob in a free bit of toast. Only costs about 2.50 and the beauty is that when you choose the ten item option when you get to the till and they ask what you got, tell them eight and you get it for cheaper. Everyone's a winner. Plus you also get a great view of the cash converters type shop on Rose Street from the big windows. Guaranteed to impress your chatroom date.

Cheers anyway Baps but you're probably right- I was more thinking about heading into town early (she's getting the train back) and not telling her beforehand, but it could be obvious if we're heading miles away from the train station!

PS agree with the shout as a breakfast joint though, its top banana. Well obviously if it was a lady I'd buy her coffee for her. Or tea if she preferred. I meant to say though Clum that it only does these breakfasts until 11.30, so best keep your eye on the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nudge, Nudge etc. "Taking her to Waverley" is, I assume, a bit saucier than "Getting off at Haymarket". Do your job properly, boy, and there's only one think that she'll want in the morning. And it's not a nibble of your Golden Balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppercrutch Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Does anyone else think it is a little gay to be planning ahead for breakfast with a bird ? Just do what I do after seeing the bird: Packet of Koka curry noodles. Add in a little dash of crushed chillies. Makes it a whole new meal. Also a bottle of fizzy Vimto goes down a treat. Of course I don't actually have this with the bird. This is for me only after heading off early as I don't really like spending time with birds in the morning. Just seems wrong. And boring as ****. Yes boring as ****. Massively. I prefer to watch Goalissimo - followed by Saturday kitchen. I then get a few cheap thrills from having a peek at the tidy bird who presents Escape from Scorpion Island. No idea who she is - stunning. Anyway good luck.

Maroon Mayhem Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Only one place for this - Le Monde. Great relaxed atmosphere, perfect for impressing the new girl and not that expensive either. You could always get some real coffee and croissants into yours, girls metabolisms are different from ours and don't always appreciate the cardiac hit of a cooked breakfast!
