Miss Twin and Mrs Fish are two long-time friends living in Edinburgh. When they both found themselves working in the West End they pledged to try and meet up each week. This blog is a review of the places they go to lunch and munch.
Miss Twin had: Lemon & pepper marinated chicken focaccia with balsamic mayonnaise, Long Vodka (around £4.50) and tap water
Miss Twin: Going to Tigerlily feels like a nice treat, it's very pretty and I would have been slightly tempted to skip out of work and spend the afternoon and my rent money on tasty cocktails in the relaxing surroundings.
My chicken focaccia was served open with chicken and tomato slices on one side, and salad leaves on the other. The sandwich came with a small side of fries, which we supplemented with a bigger bowl for the table. The bread was slightly singed but on the crispy rather than burnt side and the tomato and chicken were tasty. The lemon, pepper and balsamic flavours were slightly muted, and I would particularly liked to have the balsamic taste show through more – but that's just because I love that flavour. The chips were slightly salted and tasty. The long vodka went down a treat too.
Mrs Fish had: Caesar salad with grilled chicken, gin and tonic and tap water
Mrs Fish: Friendly service and nice interior (apart from literally crumby seats), with a fair 2 for £10 (£12) menu. The caesar salad was a bit on the small side with juicy chicken, crisp lettuce, parmesan shavings, croutons and marinaded anchovies. The dressing was good but there was too much of it making it a bit overpowering. The chips on the side made the meal complete, filling me up and offering some light relief from the dressing. The place is attractive and the staff are friendly, but there's not a lot to say about the food - fairly standard.
