32 Forrest Road
Barbecue Grill & Restaurant Thank you to Stuart
Lyon, Blackhall, Edinburgh for telling me about
Photo 1 above that
he found on the
Scran web site. Stuart told me about this photo after reading the
comment below from Meg Reilly in
Recollections 35 on the Café & Restaurant Recollections pages.

Near the Royal Infirmary
"I remember a Café, but forget the street.
It was just up from the Royal Infirmary. We used to go there and
share a plate of chips; fond memories."

Stuart wondered if the Café that Meg
remembered might be The Barbecue Grill & Restaurant in Forrest
Road, at the east end of Lauriston Place, as seen in the photo above.

I described it as being at Lauriston Place.
However its location was actually as described by Ray Melville below and
its address was 32 Forrest Road.
However, Ray Melville wrote:
Doctor's
"The Barbeque Grill and Restaurant was
on the corner of Forrest Road and Teviot Place. It is now a
pub called 'Doctors'.
I remember that it was too pricey for we
poor students in the early-1970s!
We spent our cash in Sandy Bell's, over the
road. Although now called Sandy Bells, it was then the Forrest Hill
Bar, I think, or maybe the Forrest Road Bar.

After reading Ray Melville's comments
above, I added this photo of Doctors, which I took in September 2007
to the web site.

It's nice to see that people still remember
both restaurants fondly."
