Blogger Jessica (Instagram @edinburghfoodgirl) tried the sweet and sour pork at Tattu, on their second night of opening.
"I couldn’t have been more excited to be able to go out for dinner again and see friends over some delicious food. The atmosphere was buzzing and you could tell people around you were hopeful that things are finally returning to normal. I felt safe in the restaurant and they were operating very carefully to meet the demands of the restrictions".
