The 30 Best Cafe in Dalkeith

“Awesome service and wonderful owners. Lovely food”

“I've been to an event at Bridgend Farmhouse and also recently visited the cafe. The space is marvellous and quite welcoming. Food is simple but tasty. Wide range of hot and cold drinks. I'll be back soon!”

“Lovely place, nice gardens with loads of seating and a lot of toys and stuff for all ages of kids. Cute wee cafe with sell drinks and food at very good price. I recommend a visit :)”

“The type of charming local cafe that is sadly all too rare these days, serving a wonderful mix of traditional Scottish dishes and cafe fair with some authentic turkish options. The food is freshly and lovingly prepared to order delivered quickly and with relish. The prices are surprisingly reasonable given the quality. Staff very warm and welcoming and happy to cater to preferences. Ample seating inside and some charming outside tables give it s real Mediterranean feel in the Costa del nitten. Owner passionate about food and pleasing his customers. Only single downside is having to wait awhile for a table as it is so loved by the local community that it's always busy, which is the biggest green flag for a cafe one can give. Highly recommend.”

“Cyclists! This is just 1/2 mile off Route 1 and a great refuelling station with the friendliest, most smiley and welcoming welcome. Clearly popular with locals, too! Don't judge this book by its cover - we were glad we stopped off there.”

“Beautiful walks, cafe, with plenty seating outside too, in lovely open courtyard. Good quality food in the restaurant. Excellent shopping, and scenery wonderful.”

“Love coming here, the food is very very good and reasonably priced, the service is phenomenal, the kids love the attention and care they receive every time we come here”

“Lovely food best food in Scotland amazing service nice atmosphere we come back every time when we are free must come to this place.”

“Under new management, beautiful food and friendly staff. Plenty value for money. I enjoyed a full breakfast and it was delicious”

“Some good food & drink deals on just now for xmas.”

“Staff were delightful and everything was socially distanced. Fab to be able to get a lunch out for my dad's birthday and take our dog.”

“Wendy does such a thorough and professional cut on Hamish. Very attuned to his nervousness too. Highly recommend the company.”

“Fantastic cafe with a great ambience, friendly staff and owner and the food..... Delicious! I had the salmon bagel and then a cuppa tea and banoffee pie. Best Banoffee pie I've tasted in years. What had turned out to be a day of errands has become a beautiful day after having a delicious lunch here. Don't skip the cake - they are homemade and mouthwateringly good. Come here hungry and leave very very satisfied.”

“Lovely place the toys outside for the kids to play with the dogs and being able to sit outside with my family was so relaxing and the staff where very friendly and the coffee and treats where great too will definitely come back.”

“An absolute gem of a takeaway. Good prices. The staff are always incredibly nice and have a great sense of humor. Jan is an absolute star and just brightens your day up. If i could give it 10 stars, i would.”

“A fun place to visit and good food. With inside and outside seating.”

“Lovely pub friendly staff & nice pint @ a good price”

“Great little pub with really tasty food. Staff were friendly and helpful and prices were more than reasonable. We went at a bit of a random time during the day so was quite quiet but I'd imagine it has a really good atmosphere at weekends. Big beer garden out the back with lots of space to enjoy the sun but with a covered area too.”

“My wife and I had lunch here during a visit to Dalkieth Country Park. The restaurant has glass walls so the view to the park is great. The staff are friendly and pleasantly attentive. The menu has a good level of choice. Our meals were hot and freshly prepared. We sat and enjoyed our food and the views before heading off for a long walk through the park. Great”

“Popped in here today on our way home from Go Ape. We were welcomed by a friendly local who told us where to sit for food. The staff didn't take long to locate us a table for 5 and we were seated within minutes. We placed our order and food started coming out within a reasonable time. Unfortunately there is no kids menu but there is half portions available on some of the main menu. Or as the server said, just ask and they will do chicken nuggets or fish fingers, no problem. All of the food that we had was really good and we had lots of clean plates. We will defo be back when we are back around this area.”

“Dinner out done right Loved this pub to eat at. Vibrant garden on a Saturday night with people enjoying a drink and good time by the looks of it. Inside was very nice and the food was to die for. I had the lamb and was asked how I would like it cooked and this is something you don’t often get in finer dining establishments. Very very impressed. Thank you to Emily and Alex who served us.”

“I had breakfast here with colleagues today, and I have to say, the service was first class. We really felt looked after. The food was delicious too and came quickly. We had the full monty and the quality was exceptional. I would highly recommend if you're local, it's even worth travelling for. An easy 5/5 review.”

“Make your own hamper at The Store, Hamporium. What is the Hamporium you ask? Well the very lovely and talented store team at Restoration Yard have created a spectacular in-store hamper display filled to the brim with foodie fayre ready for the festive season ahead – a spectacle that Willy Wonka himself would envy! Restoration Yard is stocked with amazing local, Scottish and independent food and drink producers. Your wee eyes will twinkle with delight, your jaw might even drop at the incredible range of tasty treats in store. The Hamporium has a number of ready made hampers available on their website but you can also make your own bespoke hamper. And this is exactly what I did. It was filled with goodies for a perfect cosy Christmas night in. Red wine, crackers and biscuits for cheese, hot chocolate and stirrers, chutney, cured meats, truffle nuts and mince pies. If you fancy heading in store to select and choose your hamper, Dalkeith Country Park, Restoration Yard is approx 30 minutes drive from Edinburgh City Centre. There is plenty of parking, loads of shopping, a fabulous cafe and The Kitchen, a superb restaurant. Plus a great park to wander around. The grounds and the courtyard outside The Store are dog friendly and there are several small cabins selling hot drinks and treats in the courtyard too.”

“Great little pub everyone is friendly and bar staff were lovely.”

“Really warm welcome by the staff on duty, excellent service, beautiful food, great selection of beverages. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. I can’t believe I haven’t visited earlier as I drive from Northumberland to the highlands and literally pass on the City Bypass. See you soon”

“Unreal, classic, masterclass of a local pub. The tall, handsome bartender made sure to handle all my distinguished needs and wants. Highly recommend to any true pub goer. We will be back. TFG”

“Ordered a takeaway from Slumdog for our anniversary celebration and the food was delicious. Chicken was lovely, sauces were excellent with loads of flavours. Order was delivered earlier than expected. Delivery driver was very friendly. Will definitely order from here again and will also try the restaurant soon.”

“Nice friendly pub,good atmosphere & fair price”

“Lovely place for tasty food, great staff and good drinks selection. Clean & tidy also.”

“Good food. Fast friendly service. You can always tell when Andy is working as it all runs smoothly. Four stars for atmosphere because it was a Wednesday night and quiet. Shame the steak is off the set menu but appreciate the price of beef at the moment.”
