Literally such a local go-to, super broad and reasonably priced menu. Meze platter is a fave, but honestly everything here is great. Awesome as a cafe or breakfast brunch or lunch place! But busy and hectic at times, but nothing crazy and always worth.
We were visiting Edinburgh for six days. We walked by the Richmond Café a couple of times and kept telling ourselves we need to stop in there. Finally the morning of our departure we went in for breakfast. We met the manager Mustafa. He was awesome. Breakfast was great. I had pancakes and bananas and my wife had a traditional English breakfast. The coffee was great. Service was great atmosphere was great highly recommend it. Check it out.
Awesome service, Turkish coffee and the salad, near the peaceful and beautiful neighborhood.
Stumbled on this place between Fringe shows. What a find. We ordered a mezze sharing platter which contained plenty for 2 people. All items were extremely tasty. The Turkish coffee was strong and flavourful. Will visit again when we have more time.
A small, but lively restaurant with great food! I had the Spanakopita and Lamb Moussaka, both were as good as what I had when we visited Santorini, Greece.
Richmond Cafe is my favorite comfort cafe nearby the University of Edinburgh campus. They are sometimes busy for very good reason, the coffee is some of the best in town and the food is also great. They server Turkish classics as well as other British foods. My favorite dish is the chicken schnitzel which is super filling and flavorful, fried chicken cutlet with a creamy mushroom sauce. I also love getting their baklava with a coffee. They have a beautiful family and dog friendly environment, free Wi-Fi and affordable prices. There are also big natural light windows that can be used to enjoy a nice day or people watch while you stay. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and will let you into their cafe with open arms and smile when they see you outside if you become a regular, even if you don’t come in. Thank you Richmond Cafe for being the star of the main campus area of Edinburgh and one of the best cafes in town!
The hotel we booked cancelled our breakfast option last minute so we ended up eating our breakfast here every day. The place is quite cozy with very friendly staff and respectable pricing. They offer a range of breakfast options but also lunch & dinner options. I enjoyed every single breakfast there and highly recommend this place.
They say its the little things in life that make it worth living, and thats especially true for their spectacular Turkish Coffee! Wow!! I'll be thinking about my meal here for a while, beautiful Turkish sausage with egg and tomato!!! In a sea of stars that is the Edinburgh cafe scene, The Richmond Cafe shines the brightest. Wonderful, wonderful little place, I'll make sure to be back soon!
