  • I like a warm artichoke dip with crackers or tortillas: just put the hearts, some cream cheese, some feta or parmesan (I prefer feta, OH prefers parm) into a blender or processor. Spread in the bottom of a casserole dish and top with breadcrumbs. Bake in the oven 10-15 minutes (til warm) and voila!

    You do have to quite like artichoke hearts for this, but I reckon the chili and lemon will be quite nice!

    Where was that? Sounds gorgeous!! My guess wuld be Spoon (assuming it was in Edinburgh as it sounds like something they would do but I am almost certain they are closed Sundays)

    hiya competitions cafe!!! :j

    It was in The Granary on the shore in Leith. It used to be the lighthouse but has just had a face lift.

    It wasn't the cheapest meal out, but was a very nice treat. Service was excellent and the place has gone from being filled with boozers to having a family feel about it. worth a look certainly :D

    Where is spoon - always looking fro new places to try!:D

    Spoon is on Blackfriars Street, just off the Royal Mile - great lunch spot in town with good soups, salads, sandwiches etc; I don't think they are open in the evenings or on Sundays.

    I am always looking for new places to try too, so will add The Granary on the shore in Leith to my list.

    Here are a few more places I can recommend trying (if you haven't already):

    Always Sunday Cafe - on the Royal Mile just up past the Tron

    Plasir du Chocolat - on Canongate: for the amazing hot chocolates (not tried the food)

    Kitchin (in Leith) - upmarket and ££££££ so one for a (very) special occassion at least for dinner, but their lunch menu is great value for this quality (2 courses for £12.50) so recommended for a special lunch (may need to book well in advance!)
