Tigerlily

Without question my favourite way to spend time and money is eating out. Dinner at a cozy cool restaurant or lunch at a trendy cafe - I'm there.

When it comes to Bath I could easily tell you where to go for what food and on what budget. But when it comes to Edinburgh - my second home - I have not explored as far. However, the place which I always return to is the ultra sophisticated and suave 'Tigerlily'.

Situated on George Street in a traditional townhouse, Tigerlily is not only a restaurant but a hotel and sits upon 'lulu' which is a co owned nightclub.

The decor is boutique impeccable - if getting ever so slightly worn as my sister always likes to point out!

You walk through the doors and are greeted by the first bar and lounge area - there is always a barman there trying to show off by throwing his bottles about - which if you are after dinner then you walk past and head to the reception area where you are greeted and seated. Depending on your party size there is a variety of tables in different parts of the restaurant. Without question my favourite is the round tables which are surrounded by beaded curtains - memories of my 18th birthday are coming back...

Prices are reasonable and there are often offers. The food is good and exactly what you would want to expect.

Swanky, sexy - I love it and I'm sure you can see why!
