Where to eat in Edinburgh according to top Scottish chef
If you find yourself in Edinburgh, there's a good chance of bumping into me at any of the places listed below! Lyla 3 Royal Terrace I went to Lyla with my wife to celebrate her birthday, and everything was perfect from the get-go. I actually used to work in the building when it was 21212 under Paul Kitching which made seeing how Stuart Ralston has put his own stamp on the place even more impressive. On top of that, the food was just incredible, and they're not afraid to try something a bit different, like Sake on the wine pairing menu, to elevate the experience. To me, this place is the pinnacle of fine dining in Edinburgh at the moment. Dishoom 3A St Andrew Square Out of all the spots on this list, I'd say I visit Dishoom the most often. I love a curry, and because of the relaxed atmosphere here, it's a great place for business meetings. You walk past the kitchen and get the smells of food cooking and incense sticks burning, which take me right back to my time spent in India. The vegetarian dishes, like fried okra and Bombay potatoes, are some of my favourite things to order. No matter what time of day you go, it's always packed out, which goes to show how well they've managed to hit the nail on the head with what they offer. Skua 49 St Stephen Street I find it so interesting that Tomás Gormley has a background in fine dining, Michelin-style cooking, but seems to favour a menu of dishes that people really want to eat at Skua. There's his fried chicken and great cocktails, and the restaurant itself has a dark, almost speakeasy style vibe. The food is a lot more refined than some of the other places on the list, but not overly fancy. For the quality of what you're getting, the prices are really reasonable. The Palmerston 1 Palmerston Place On the last list of my favourite places to eat in Fife, I included the Kinneuchar Inn, and I find there are a lot of similarities between it and The Palmerston. They use such great produce, and it's all very rustic. It's the kind of place you can go in and be served a beautiful slice of game terrine on a really vintage-looking plate alongside big chunks of sourdough and a swipe of butter. Their pies are cooked in dishes that look like something you would pull from the cupboard at your great-grandmother's house, but they taste so good. The best one I've tried was a chicken pie a while back. The whole thing felt so traditional and nostalgic. If you want to stop by for breakfast, they make all of their pastries downstairs and line them up on the counter to choose from. It's a brilliant all-day dining spot. Dulse 17 Queensferry Street You might accuse me of being biased here, but our Dulse restaurant really is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh. I take my family there a lot because my son loves seafood from octopus to lobster or crab, and some of my happiest memories have been made with him at the restaurant. It's laid back and there's no fuss, you can show up wearing whatever you want and just enjoy yourself. Yes, I own it, but who doesn't love amazing seafood cooked in a simple yet delicious way? Timberyard 10 Lady Lawson Street Dining at Timberyard is this brilliant experience that starts with walking through big, heavy doors. It's such a grand welcome into a space that's lovely and light during the day, then candlelit and moody at night. There are big chunky tables, and the interiors feel like they've been stripped back to the bare bones; it's almost like being in an art gallery or something. But it's not pretentious at all, and the food is all about getting the best out of high-quality seasonal produce. The wine list is also almost the same size as the Yellow Pages, which I love because you always know you're going to finish your meal having discovered something new. Brass Monkey 362 Leith Walk I first discovered Brass Monkey when we were opening Dulse in Leith. I always like to have a restaurant nearby that I can nip into for lunch or a pint when a shift is finished, and found myself ending up here time and time again. It's so bloody cheap, and everything is made fresh. The Korean chicken strips in gouchouchang are my go-to, or the big bowl of bratwurst sausage chopped up and served with Dijon mustard. In the wintertime time they put on an open fire, and it's dog-friendly, which is something I always appreciate. What more could you ask for? Basement Gelato 31 Queensferry Street Basement Gelato opened up across the road from us in Leith just over a year ago. I remember going over to show support during their first week, ordering a pistachio gelato, and just thinking, 'wow, this is unbelievable.' The guy who owns it works his arse off to make this proper Italian gelato as well as milkshakes and crumbles in the colder months. If you asked me what my two favourite ice cream parlours in the world are, the answer would be Janetta's in St Andrews and this place. I'm such a big fan that you'll actually find some of the brown butter flavour on the dessert menu at Dulse.

Suited and bespectacled McIntyre, seen remonstrating alongside a male pal, left it in a bay outside popular Indian restaurant Dishoom. Parking is believed to be temporarily restricted there due to it being near a building site. Workers provided an audience by watching and filming the funny man as he protested his innocence. A passerby told The Sun: 'McIntyre's car was being lifted. I walked past and said 'unlucky'. He just seemed to laugh it off and said 'oh well'. 'I think he may have been coming out of Dishoom as he was on that side. There was a load of builders all watching and filming the incident.

'Jis din confirm hoga...': Sunita Ahuja bluntly addresses divorce rumours with Govinda
After months of intense speculation and swirling rumours about a possible divorce between veteran Bollywood actor Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja, the topic has once again grabbed headlines .The discussion continues unabated despite numerous explanations, igniting fans' interest and worries. In a recent candid interview, Sunita Ahuja chose to speak up again and addressed the recurrent gossip with her usual bluntness, clarifying the situation with her marriage. Sunita Ahuja bluntly addresses divorce rumours with Govinda In a Times Now interview, Sunita has once again addressed the divorce rumors and stated the belief that she and Govinda are inseparable. According to Sunita, Govinda would never leave his family for a "stupid person or stupid woman," and any proof of this would only be credible if it came straight from them. Her comments made it apparent that their relationship is still intact and that the rumours are unfounded. She went on to add, 'Rumour, rumour, rumour — first ask whether it's even true. I will never accept it, and if anyone has the courage, they should ask me directly. Just because someone spreads a rumour, you start agreeing with it — that's not right. Sunita Ahuja further addressed the rumours by promising to be the first to come forward and talk candidly to the public if there was ever any truth to it. She spoke of her strong faith, saying she is convinced that God would never permit her family to split. Sunita Ahuja and Govinda's family Govinda, the well-known Bollywood actor, tied the knot with Sunita Ahuja in 1987. Their relationship began when Govinda was just starting out in his acting career. The couple has two children: their daughter, Tina Ahuja, who made her Bollywood debut with Second Hand Husband in 2015, and their son, Yashvardhan Ahuja, who has worked as an assistant director on films such as Dishoom, Baaghi, and Kick 2.
