Hundreds of Edinburgh foodies have flocked to a new Asian-inspired restaurant inside the St James Quarter - a day before it actually opens its doors.
Massive queues stretching from Itsu at the front of the £1 billion Leith Street shopping district around the corner to Princes Street were spotted as fans scrambled to be among the first to sample the eatery’s extensive menu at a special preview launch.
The restaurant - which boasts outlets across the UK and Europe - offered 500 hungry locals the opportunity to sample some of their fayre on Thursday afternoon prior to the official first day on Friday.
