170 eateries in capital fail hygiene tests

SOME 170 restaurants, cafes and take-aways in Edinburgh failed health and hygiene inspections last year – including Gordon Ramsay's favourite Chinese restaurant.

The eateries were all rapped after strict council inspections found them in breach of safety standards. The culprits range from small carry-outs to high-profile businesses with one restaurant even using an apple pie to store dirty cutlery.
