New in Food: Civerinos Slice, SURVIVE & more

New in Edinburgh

Maki & Ramen Omakase
M&R have been spreading their wings across the Southside in recent years, and now they’ve opened their biggest venue to date in Tollcross at the former site of fellow Newington favourites Kampung Ali Malaysia Delight. Inside, the new spot is a lovingly decorated and sleek dining space complete with a centrepiece sushi bar; on the menu, expect many of the same favourites that have been such a hit in their other locations. Try the Master Chef Shoyu burnt garlic ramen; you will not be disappointed. 97 Fountainbridge.

SURVIVE
Following on from the monumental success of the Game of Thrones-inspired Blood & Wine, The Pop Up Geeks are back with another New Town takeover. SURVIVE features drinks inspired by The Walking Dead comics and TV show, located in the cellar space of the already-excellent Belgian beer bar Six Degrees North.

Seems like a good choice if you ask us – when the zombies do come we'll all be looking for basements to hide in, so one that's already fitted out with delicious booze seems like a good place to start. Tue-Thu, 3 May - 30 Jun, 24 Howe St.

Civerinos Slice
We don’t want to shock you, but here at The Skinny, we like pizza. That's why we’re so excited about Civerinos Slice, the second outpost of one of our favourite Edinburgh ‘zza-slingers. It's a spot to grab one of the dozens of New York-style slices on offer – standard sourdough, or their new ‘nonna’-style square pizza – have a beer, try another slice, have another beer, then realise you’ve been having a great time eating and drinking for hours. Loads of fun, basically. 49 Forrest Rd.

The Salvation of Leith
New from the team behind Jeremiah's Tap and The Empress of Broughton Street, the Salvation brings a lovely mix of top drawer beer and adorably mismatched furniture to the Shore. Inside, the bar is packed with crafty loveliness and a host of cool interior flourishes; outside is an ideal seating area for this unseasonably nice weather we've been having. 58 Shore.

Paesano Pizza

New in Glasgow

Innis and Gunn Beer Kitchen
The oak-aged brewers hit Ashton Lane with their latest bar, a three-floor space with a hefty beer line-up, its own microbrewery, and room for nearly 400 people. The bar opens with a trio of specially-created brews from said microbrewery – including an intriguing Marshmallow Milk Stout – and if the Edinburgh Beer Kitchen is anything to go by, expect a regular rotation of I&G beers and brews from the best of their craft brethren. 46 Ashton Ln.

Paesano West End
Remember earlier, when we said we liked pizza? Well, one of our absolute favourite pizzas in Scotland comes courtesy of Paesano in Glasgow; we love it, and it was one of the winners in this year’s Food and Drink Survey, so evidently you love it too. Well now they’re opening a second branch in the West End, so you’ll be able to get your light, charred, fluffy and delicious Neapolitan pizza without heading into town. We’ll see you in the queue. 471 Great Western Rd.
