Brunch at Southpour

March 18, 2016

Last weekend I was invited along to a bloggers brunch at the Edinburgh’s latest brunch spot Southpour in Newington. As you can imagine a room full of bloggers and tasty food was bound to be a hit. The event coincided with Edinburgh Fashion Week so there were a few of us planning to make a full day of it heading down to the shows after brunch – the perfect way to spend a Sunday.

Southpour has to be one of the most Pinterest-worthy restaurants in Edinburgh, as you can imagine there were cameras flashing all around. All of us loved the exposed brick wall – perfect for a few outfit pics. I particularly loved the lighting and the large windows which made the place so bright (it helped that the sun was shining that morning). Often restaurants are so dark you can’t see your food let alone get a good picture of it. I’m not one to take pictures of food but even I couldn’t help it in here. They are even dog-friendly, although I don’t think my wee monster will be visiting anytime soon – he would run riot. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love seeing cute dogs when I’m having brunch.

Once everyone had explored the restaurant and taken their photos the staff brought out the food. Everything looked so good. We were told just to help ourselves to whatever we wanted. Whereas most went for a pick and mix of everything I grabbed the eggs with black forest ham on sourdough with a hollandaise sauce. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the I’m glad a grabbed the plate. Although choosing what to eat was a tough decision as they have a really good brunch menu at Southpour (you can check out the menu here). Everything on the menu is really reasonably priced (especially for Edinburgh) and I will definitely be back for more. I highly recommend popping into Southpour if you’re looking for a new brunch spot this weekend or even for a bigger meal (you can check out the main menu here)
