Indaba, Edinburgh, 21st November 2013

Apparently one can't eat at Michelin starred restaurants every day. Just as well then that there are some nice restaurants without Michelin stars. With the help of Tripadvisor we found a tapas restaurant just round the conner from where we were staying called Indaba. As well as typical Spanish tapas dishes they also served dishes inspired by South American, South African and Scottish cuisine.

We ordered eight dishes between three of us, which was probably one too many to be able to comfortably have dessert as well. Stand out dishes were chicken skewers and courgette strips wrapped around feta cheese. The option of having three mini portions from their dessert menu was too good to miss. Overall it was very nice (and all for less than a third of the previous night's bill). My only request would be for them to have had some sangria on the drinks menu.
