Louise was back on a flying visit from Australia today and we were lucky enough to catch up with her for a while this afternoon.

Montpelier's has had a lovely new makeover, so we decided to forgive it for our previous bad experience and go for wine and nibbles.

We then went for dim sum at the Imperial Palace and then an Edinburgh Elderflower Gin at Montpellier's before my parents headed back home.

We met up with my Mum and Dad for lunch at Montpellier's this afternoon, as my Dad was coming through for a whisky tasting he was gifted for his birthday.

I had the gnocchi was was really tasty and part of their Dine Out For £10 Menu, where you get 2 meals for £10 at lunch or 2 courses at dinner.

One of the best things we used to do when we lived in London was meet up with our friends every weekend for brunch and I felt all nostalgic as we took everyone for breakfast at Montpeliers this morning.

It was just warm enough to sit outside and I tucked in to a plate of scrambled eggs with mushrooms.

After placing our votes, we decided to treat ourselves to lunch at Montpelier's where it was nice and quiet so we sat outside.

I had a plate of gnocchi and a ginger cosmo which were both delicious.

We treated ourselves to lunch at Montpelier's while we nervously waited for Fig's results. It's so lovely and Christmassy in there with mulled cider and fairy lights everywhere.

One of our favourite new things to do is sit outside under the heaters at Montpelier's and drink mulled cider.

It's just warm enough and feels so Christmassy.

Lynsey was in Edinburgh today, so we met up for brunch at Montpelier's. I've miss meeting up for our weekly brunches like when we lived in London and it was so nice to catch up.
