Cover story: The List Eating & Drinking Guide
If you were to eat out every single day it would take two years, five months and 14 days to get around every place featured in the 14th edition of our indispensable Eating & Drinking Guide. That’s a lot of food. To help you find the best places to eat out in central Scotland without sacrificing your waistline, our army of 70 reviewers have tested each establishment according to the exacting standards you’ve come to expect of us. As well as maps and a calendar of food events, the easy-to- use guide features hitlists in every category. We also announce the winners of our annual Eating and Drinking Awards on page 7, and learn about the highs and lows (are there any?) of being a reviewer on page 93.
