Sunday At Steak Edinburgh

If you ask for a good Steak in Edinburgh the answer you will get will probably be "at Steak".

I've been at Steak Restaurant a couple of times before but last Sunday I got invited by a friend who does the PR for the Restaurant to try the new Sharing Sunday menu so my friend Kate and I happily decided to go and see (sorry, eat).

After a sunny Sunday of shopping we headed to Picardy Place, we went straight to Steak, our eyes took a moment to adjust to the change of light, from a sunny afternoon outside to the dark and elegant design of the restaurant inside.

Everytime I go in I love the atmosphere, it almost feels like being in a theatre with high ceilings, candle light and modern design.

Although it wouldn't be a real theatre without a stage, in this case the stage is the table and the protagonist is the meat.

This time we didn't go "just" for a steak, we tried the sunday roast, which included 200gr roast leg of lamb and 400gr cote de boeuf with duck fat potatoes, roasted vegetables, creamed peas with leeks and bacon, a Yorkshire pudding and gravy.

The meal was served by Patricia, lovely waitress, it was a real pleasure chatting a bit with her while she was preparing our meat at the table (nice touch).

Sometimes in fancy places you might risk to feel a bit intimidated but Patricia was a really nice girl and well prepared, giving us all the information about our sunday roast.

The meat was like butter, beautiful, cooked just like we asked, steak medium and lamb pink.

What to say about the side, just as good, especially the peas, leek and bacon were to die for.

We decided to drink a bold Chianti with our meal which was the perfect choice.

Overall I had an amazing night with outstanding food, beautiful atmosphere and a great friend. Steak in the perfect destination for every meat lover even if it's not cheap. The Sunday Roast is £60 (for two) definitely worth it for a special occasion or as a treat for a real foodie.

Thank you Steak Restaurant :)

Maggie's Farm Nail bar @ Topshop

A couple of weeks ago my friend Kate and I decided to treat ourselves with a girly day. We went to Maggie's Farm Nail Bar, which is in Topshop on Princes Street. We booked an appointment and I got my nails done for the first time! (I know it took me a while to try this experience).

Once we got there we decided what to get done, the lovely lady has been extremely patient with us as deciding was't easy. The options are many and all veeeery cool. In the end we both went for a gel manicure with nail art on one nail on each hand and here's the result.

It took about 45 minutes to get my nails done and it's a nice thing to do with a friend, being in Topshop the "risk" is the temptation of shopping around while you wait for your turn, obviously we didn't resist to this temptation and we got out with new nails and new clothes!

Ted&Muffy Edinburgh

This post arrives a little late because of some problems but here it is. Few months ago I've been lucky enough to be invited to the event at the Ted&Muffy store in Edinburgh and it was one of the best store events I took part to.

Once we got there we got an introduction about the brand and then we enjoyed the night between drinks, food and of course shoes, amazing shoes. 

At the end of the night each one of us got the chance to pick a pair of shoes, get a professional fitting, which was something new to me and that I really enjoyed and then receive the precious parcel at home.

We all were over the moon, so much choice!At the end I decided and I went for Comet Boots in black. A beautiful and unique pair of leather over the knee boots. I decided to go for something that I couldn't find anywhere else, this boots are statement shoes.

I think they look great on every simple outfit and the instantly make it great and remarkable....here are my Comet Boots!

How beautiful is the box by the way!Amazing!Thank you Ted&Muffy!
