Cafe in Edinburgh

“I found this place by chance and had the best luck, as it was about to close. The attention is really warm and kind. The coffee is AMAZING. I had the fortune to get a pistachio cookie and it’s great. Will be back really soon. Everybody talks about what this Edin’s hidden gem has to offer, you need to see it for yourselves. Visit this venue, you won’t regret.”

“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.”

“Absolutely brilliant. Nothing is too much bother. Excellent food, great prices and always a huge smile.”

“Popped in today for a quick breakfast,toasted homemade soda bread with marmalade and a mug of delicious coffee,outstanding. The place was buzzing with people from all walks of life and the counter was absolutely groaning with an amazing selection of home baking. Cheese scones,brownies,cookies ,quiche and an amazing looking birthday cake to name just a few. So,if you're in the southside of Edinburgh at anytime and looking for somewhere really nice to rest and replenish then head to Kates,I can't think of anywhere better.”

“Beautiful rooms, well located and a beautiful part of Edinburgh. Lovely selection of complementary products. Comfortable bed and a great shower with excellent pressure which I feel some hotels lack. I had forgot to take my earings which I’d left on the dressing table. I contacted the hotel and Amy delt with my enquiry. She was extremely helpful and was quick to reply to my query. My earing have been returned very promptly of which I am thankful for as they have sentimental value. Thanks again Amy.”

“It was our first time coming to Michael’s, the waiter guided us what we can eat because we only eat halal and non-alcoholic food. So there were only a few options for us in the menu. While waiting the for our food, they served us with a bread (which has this unique taste, love it!) For starter, we ordered the pan fried scallops (5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) For our mains, i ordered a vegetarian dish, beetroot with eggs and my girlfriend ordered seabass with mussels velouté. Both dishes were super delicious! (5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) As for our dessert, we shared a white chocolate and raspberry blondie. It was too sweet for me but my girlfriend enjoyed it! (4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). I would recommend this place, and surely come again! Hopefully they can add a few halal options :)”

“We stopped over this cafe in Rathos for a much needed cup of coffee, and we finally understood what the other reviewers meant by “great coffee and great banter”. Seriously, so stop by this cafe and have a chat with the proprietor. No matter how grey your day looks, it will definitely look better after that. I wish we could also have had lunch here since the food looked amazing, but hopefully we may have a chance to come back for lunch.”

“This is a lovely little spot for coffee and cake. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. I’ve been here many times, and the quality is always excellent. It’s the kind of place you can count on for good food every time.”

“Lovely, chic and beautifully decorated b&b! The host was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very big, modern and most importantly - with a comfortable, big bed. It's in excellent location for the beach and with excellent public transport links to Edinburgh city centre. A must visit! Thank you Angela!”

“Best café in South Queensferry! A local business that supports other local businesses. High quality drinks, pastries, and friendly staff. The inside is cozy and a great place to chat with a friend, or read a book. Always a pleasant day visiting Brew Culture.”

“Beautiful historic cafe in the old Dower house. Situated over two floors, very cosy with lots of atmosphere. Very welcoming staff. It's serves sandwiches, cakes and bakes. And it's dog friendly.”

“I just discovered this wee gem of a vegan café/delicatessen. The food is delicious, good portions and a huge selection too. Didn't have time for cake on my first visit but I will certainly visit again as there were a lot of other sandwiches I would have liked to try. The soup choices were great too, I'd highly recommend you visit it!”

“Popped in after the gym this morning. Picked up a couple of nutella cookies to take home and wow, they are the divine. By far the best cookie I've had in Scotland. Will be back”

“My partner and I went to this stunning cafe for breakfast, food was amazing this was our second visit. People are lovely, We will be going again soon.”

“It's been a nice little cruise on the Firth of Forth. I learned a lot about the bridges and islands in the Forth. One can land on Inchcolm Island, but today I just took the short cruise. The crew was perfectly friendly.”

“We had a great trip to Kielder Forest. The stick man trail was fun. It was quite a distance for wee legs and when you make it back to the car park, you're half way done. Pack juice and snacks as there are lots of seats and benches to relax.”

“Booked in for Lunch with my Mum and Dad. Unfortunately my Mum was ill and could not come. I am glad we still went along. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Between the two of us we had 6 Courses and had no fault with any of them. Would recommend " The Crown Harburn ". Definitely coming back.”

“This charming and comfortable restaurant inside the Scotch Whisky Experience is a wonderful place. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and service throughout our dinner was exceptional. Both my husband and I got a 2-course meal. We started with the sea trout, which was very fresh and perfectly cooked. It was served with a potato cake, and fresh peas with fennel and a lovely white sauce. The dish was beautifully composed and presented. My husband had a 15-year-old whiskey, while I had lovely craft whiskey cocktail. For dessert, I had the chocolate whiskey tart and my husband had the sticky toffee pudding. Both were excellent. A perfect dining experience.”

“We were visiting Edinburgh for a few days and I bought tickets to see Wild Rose as an early mother’s day and birthday present for my mother. Staff were friendly, beautiful theatre. The gait and the legroom were great. The show was excellent, but my mum did struggle at times to follow due to her hearing. The performers were brilliant especially the children. Would recommend for a good night out.”

“I hope this wonderful space never falls in to the hands of property developers. Fantastic cafe at MF Coffee and a popup arts and crafts shop open at the moment too. Love it and Wilma the dug approves too.”

“Excellent little pub in New Town. Usually very busy on weekends and the odd weekday. Best to head as early as reasonable for a pint. Nice selection of ales as well as lagers, IPAs etc on tap. Very cosy inside so be prepared to stand and wait for a seat. Also met tbe previous owner, and if they're still coming you know its a great pub. Fires on in the winter, with a selection of books and games in 'cosy' the back room. Great pub, always love coming here.”

“Great Greek food in Edinburgh! Family owned spot with authentic Greek food options and large portions. Everything we ordered was very flavorful and felt like being in Greece again. We chose the bread basket, tzatziki, pita pita (grilled chicken fillet with pita bread) and the yaourtlou. The bread was nicely grilled with a good covering of olive oil, salt and oregano. Addicting! The tzatziki was as they serve it in Greece and definitely a must order for the table. The chicken fillet was tender and very flavorful, served with thick cut fries. Finally the yaourtlou was delicious with a good serving of red tomato sauce, yogurt, herbs and spices with a large soutzoukaki portion. Happy to have come across this place while in Edinburgh!”

“I adore this place! Staff is so kind and Robert is an absolute font of information regarding whiskies. They were so generous with their time in sharing details and I'll be looking forward to my return later in the week and, I'm certain, many more times in the future! Cosy atmosphere. Exactly what you'd hope to find in Edinburgh. And it wasn't overrun by tourists, which is lovely! Slàinte!”

“Superb pub. Pies were both excellent and very cheap. Great range of cask beer; the ones I tried were in fine fettle; cool and well kept. Children over 5 are allowed if they have food and are supervised in the back room which is spacious and has a range of Hearts FC memorabilia. The pub is very busy on match days from previous experience but today was spacious and bright. Famous for its very wide whisky range.”

“We had a fabulous meal here recently. The service was second to none (provided us with a table for 4, even when there was only 2 of us as it was so busy!) the staff were attentive and the speed of the drinks/starter/main was about the best I've experienced. Recommend the Chateaubriand, sides of potato Dauphinoise, Mac and cheese, seasoned steak chips and chilli broccolini. We also had the vegetarian Empanadas as a starter which were also delicious. A well priced selection of red wines to compliment as well.”

“This place was so busy, well organized, with tasty food and not long to wait. All the staff were so lovely and friendly, One of the best cafes I've been in.”

“Fantastic atmosphere, well decorated and tables are laid out well. Service is great and the food is fab. Definitely recommend the coffee, lovely and smooth with just enough bitterness to really bring out the rich flavour (as coffee should be). Thank you for my lovely breakfast!”

“My first breakfast in Edinburgh was here, and it was absolutely delicious! I fell in love with every dish, and the latte was amazing. I highly recommend all the dishes. Some of the staff were Turkish, which was really helpful when it came to understanding which options were halal. As a Muslim, it felt very comfortable and welcoming. I’d definitely come back to this place on my next visit to Edinburgh!”

“Staff were able to seat 6 of us as walk ins on a Sunday around 12. We sat along the bar at the wall. One of our group was gluten free and they were able to accommodate to her with gluten free bread etc. Food was all really tasty and decent sized portions. Staff were so friendly!”

“Absolutely lovely spot, fresh roasted coffee beans with amazing flavour, super tasty smoked salmon and cream cheese, and a great selection of homemade cakes. Such a warm and welcoming place, definitely one of the best in Morningside.”
