   Huevos rancheros was delicious. If you're looking to cure a hangover or simply eat good food this is the place.

   This small, cozy bistro at the corner of two streets, right at the intersection, is a true gem! The atmosphere is simply fantastic – with beautiful stucco on the ceiling, you instantly feel at home. The kitchen serves solid English bistro classics like Eggs Benedict, Black Pudding, and other delicious dishes. Everything is freshly prepared, and the Hollandaise sauce was a highlight: perfectly seasoned and homemade. The service is warm, friendly, and fits wonderfully with the inviting ambiance. I’ll definitely be back!

   Gem of a wee place that I am happy to have rediscovered. Food, service and staff are all superb. Had a smashing Steak & Eggs washed down with a spot-on Bloody Mary. Would also have happily have eaten partners Huevos Rancheros. Revist def planned for the evening/dinner menu.

   My go-to spot for a traditional Scottish breakfast in town ☺️. I love the food, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming every time I visit.

   Such a wonderful small bistro. The food is really excellent, great choice of wine and all reasonably priced for the quality. The staff are amazing and it's always warm and family. Breakfast and dinner are great and they are very dog friendly. Highly recommended

   I often tell myself that I should visit Bijou more often. The cosy Bistro is far from me and I must traverse Granton, Leith, the Links, and Restalrig but the trek is worthwhile. Always worth it. Bijou serves everything from plum desserts to chicken burgers. Bijou Bistro sounds French, but I'm not sure the menu is overwhelmingly Franco-centric. Tip: Always check the specials board. It's not a huge menu but are enough starters, mains, and tantalising desserts to talk about and pick something you like. Three or four course alternatives reassure me of good quality and minimum food waste. I'm confident you'll find something you like. I've risked trying to fit my solo-eating self a table on the weekend, only to find that the Bistro is booked out, which is also a good omen. So, if possible, book. The Bistro's popularity shows that locals like it. Even when packed, it feels inviting, like an oasis between neighbourhoods. Bijou serves good meals without fuss, elitism, or drama and it's an easy venue for me to recommend.

   We came here for breakfast. The only good thing was coffee. Food with plenty of grease. Was sick all day after. And we came with our dogs there, didn’t even suggested water for them.

   Incredible. Easily some of the best food I’ve ever tasted, and the most splendid atmosphere to eat it in. We stopped in for a cheeky wine in the afternoon and the owner, James, came right over and made us feel at home. So much so we had to come back later for dinner! We took his recommendations on what to get and wished we could have more. The chef, Eddie, needs his own cookbook; the photos I’ve posted won’t do it justice. So much flavour, and care, and passion. You must go here if visiting Edinburgh!! The other great thing is how much James makes every guest feel like family. Another table actually kept checking in with us as well because they wanted to make sure we loved the place as much as they did. So sweet!!

   This used to be my regular breakfast place back in 2012-13 when I lived in the city and it was the best breakfast joint in all of Edinburgh. I came back today, 10 years later, as I was in Edinburgh for work. I don't know how it's physically possible, but the breakfast is even better than I remember. This is absolutely the best veggie breakfast in Scotland.
