New in Food: Harmonium, Bross Bagels & more

Dough
A second branch of the Edinburgh aces, whose pizza is one of our favourites in the capital, kicked open its doors last month just in time to snare everyone in 'Pleasance to Summerhall in five minutes is totally doable' mode. Light fluffy dough, great toppings, top chat (we once walked in on the entire staff loudly singing Alanis Morissette) – just an all-round great package. 47 S Clerk St.

Harmonium
For years, Edinburgh's veggies and vegans have gazed lustily down the M8 at Glasgow venues like Mono, Stereo and The Flying Duck. 'Cutting-edge vegan food in cool environs,' they'd say, 'we want some of that'. Well good news – Harmonium is the Edinburgh debut of the team behind those venerable veggie spots. In the Leith spot formerly occupied by V Deep, former Mono head chef VSO Henderson is heading up the kitchen, so expect very, very good things. 60 Henderson St.

The Fat Pony
New from the man behind Edinburgh bistro The Dogs, The Fat Pony is the latest in a string of new wave wine bars to hit the city in recent years. Lovely decor, an exciting menu (ever wondered what an orange wine is when it's at home? Now you can find out!) and a great location – we're on board. 47 Bread St.

Clark and Lake
Speaking of new wine bars, Clark and Lake bring tasty vino, exciting charcuterie and enormous molten wheels of raclette to Bruntsfield. A big pile of cheese and meat in one hand, and a delicious glass of red in the other; what's not to like? Nothing, that's what. 8 Gillespie Pl.

Bross Bagels
Authentic Canadian bagels are the order of the day at Portobello's latest new spot. Montreal native Larah Bross has joined forces with community bakery Breadshare on the bagels, with local suppliers also chipping in on the pastrami and smoked fish front. With the bagels and fillings sorted, Bross seal the deal with a unique coffee blend from North Berwick's Howdah. Gold stars all round. 186 Portobello High St.

Filament Roastery
Filament have long been one of our favourite cafes, in their original guise as a Fringe pop-up many moons ago and now in their Southside home. Well, things have moved on again, with the cafe opening a second spot and in-house roastery in Trinity. If you need an excuse to check it out in all its white-walled loveliness, the roastery hosts an Edinburgh Coffee Fringe event with Has Bean on 22 Aug – details here. 44a East Trinity Rd.
