Smoke Stack

Through hard work, wise decisions or Derren Brown mind manipulation, Smoke Stack has that je ne sais quoi that every eatery strives for, but few achieve. There's a close–knit, family feel, giving the impression the staff go out on massive benders together after hours. If it's true, then it doesn't harm the quality of food and, despite our intense staring, we couldn't find a blood–shot eye in the place. It's a bit like hanging out with your older brother's mates as a kid – you desperately want to be part of the gang, but deep down you know you're only there on a technicality. <i><b><a href='http://www.itchycity.co.uk/shop/' target='_blank'>Click here to buy Itchy Edinburgh, the UK's best–selling pocket–sized guide to what's on in Edinburgh, including restaurants, clubs, bars, hotels and shopping. </a></b></i>
