Meeting up with pal Fiona for lunch today.\u00a0 Once we recovered from the shock of getting a parking space we were wandering along George Street when we clocked what used to be The Pier, right next door to Jaegar and opposite Space NK<\/a> ? Yup you got it. Well\u00a0 in that\u00a0 large empty unit we pied the\u00a0 door open and it is full of clothes. Be still my beating heart it is an Austin Reed<\/a><\/p>\n

The fabulous Louis Armstrong - trad jazz favourite<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

excited I rushed home to blog about it!<\/p>\n

After spending \u00a350 \u2013 I don’t have but for 5 items of top end clothes -there’s a couple of birthday and Xmas pressies in that lot \u2013 off we went to Wildfire<\/a> on Rose Street the end part between Castle Street and Charlotte Square.<\/p>\n

A great well restaurant to tuck yourself in for lunch especially on a day like today. And a great deal for at \u00a310.95 for 2 courses.<\/p>\n

I stuffed my chops with a smoked salmon rillete which came with toast though I had oatcakes as I blow up like a puff adder if I eat too much bread.<\/p>\n

Fiona had chicken liver pate<\/p>\n

Main courses Fi had Duck on a bed of slow cooked lentils \u2013 yum! I had a rump steak \u2013 a perfect size for lunch which came with lovely shoestring fries and a wee pot of salad no supplement for that which was a nice surprise.<\/p>\n

Cosy wee place, tea lights, stone walls, a wood burning stove \u2013 which wasn’t on today but it is about12 degrees (tropical compared to yesterday!) trad jazz faintly tinkling in the background and, comfortable upholstered banquette and individual chairs. I’d go back. In fact I will \u2013 soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
