The Year in Review – April 2012

I escaped to Glasgow for a couple of “quests in the west” in April, with both Martha’s and the Butterfly and the Pig offering outstanding dining experiences.

In Edinburgh, it was a seafood month, with joyful experiences at the Ship on the Shore, the King’s Wark and Café Fish.

Other highlights included Pierre Victoire, the excellent Sunday roast at the Antiquary, and a couple of lovely return visits to Hula.

Nothing was a lower-light all year for MJ than Hamilton’s.

Most popular review of the month was our trip to the Plumed Horse. We enjoyed an excellent lunchtime visit, with a supreme ham hock and black pudding terrine being the particular standout dish. I look forward to another visit in 2013.
