It’s all go at the TriBeCa group of restaurants. Trumpeted as ‘the original New York kitchen’, the group started out with the TriBeCa Café Bar on Dumbarton Road.

TriBeCa's donuts are so good that American cops hop over the Atlantic for them.

Fast forward to 2015 and there are two more branches: one on Fenwick Road in Giffnock and one on Park Road in Glasgow’s Woodlands.

Within the next few months, that happy trio will be joined by the group’s first Edinburgh branch. The Edinburgh TriBeCa Bar and Grill will be at 88 Bruntsfield Place.

Classic American dishes

All three existing TriBeCas have just joined up to 5pm which will make it even easier for y’all to book in and enjoy classic American diner dishes.

When not working on their plans for storming Edinburgh, the TriBeCa tribe have been noshing their way around New York. Purely for research purposes. Obviously.

Earlier this year, a crack team of TriBeCa scoffers nipped over to NYC and ate at a belt-busting 24 different establishments. The idea was to check out food trends in the Big Apple and see how the city’s more venerable diners and restaurants kept their offer fresh and attractive.

Several packs of Rennie later, one presumes, the result is their new day time menu which is currently being rolled out across the three existing outlets.

Parmesan truffle fries

It’s a belter. From pancake stacks and boozy shakes to dirty dogs and deli sarnies, they have everything you need to silence grumbling tums.

Parmesan truffle fries? Oh yes. Buttermilk pancakes with Maple syrup? Please. Steak and eggs with home fries? Count me in.

Crayfish tail tosta… you get the picture.
