14 The Award Winning Skylark



It’s not every day that a local business is recognised as being the best in Scotland. Well, just this week, a Portobello café/bar/restaurant (the exact definition is quite hard, even for the owners) received such an accolade…and it was (cymbals) The Skylark in the High Street. They came top in The Skinny Food & Drink Survey, one of six listed as the best bars in the country. Even better, they were voted for by the readers of the magazine.

 The Skylark’s been going successfully for several years now which, as the Skinny’s editorial points out, can feel like “a lifetime in the accelerated world of food and drink, where the hours are long, the drink flows heavily and the whims of the public can set the best laid plans awry.” So what are they doing right? Originally from France, one of the founders, Nina Davidson, settled in Portobello with her architect husband and two small children. Apart from discussing the success of the business, how much warning had the partners had that an award was on its way?
