Sunday delicacies

It was Sunday, there were patches of blue sky appearing and there was nothing better that we could do except go to an independent cinema (Cameo) in the south side of Edinburgh and watch Inside Job - "a feature-length documentary about the 2008 global financial collapse" - not my first choice if I'm honest but hubby had the last word on this! Before disappearing into what seemed like a plush millionaires screening room for a couple of hours, we popped for a drink (soft).
Iglu is well known in Edinburgh for awesome food in a lovely atmosphere but we were drawn in by the offer of a cup of Artisan Roast coffee. Battered leather seats, tweed cushions, sturdy wooden tables and chalk boards listing wines welcomed us to the cafe section of this tucked away destination. Giant windows allow light to stream in so we spent a very pleasant half hour with the Sunday papers and awesome coffee.
Once we had been popped out the other end of an interesting account of the financial crisis, I needed something a bit stronger and we were both incredibly hungry. Still new to the city, going out seems to be something we do the whole time. We went to a place on Thistle Street called TexMex II - the first restaurant we went to in Edinburgh when we came up for hubby's job interview.I am not going to give a blow by blow account just that the food is fabulous, the atmosphere intimate and the Margarita's awesome. I left full of burrito, re-fried beans, salad and an indecently decadent slice of chocolate tart! It is frill free but I implore anyone visiting this culinary gem to take the plunge and try the chili sauce - fiery but worth the work!
