    We were a party of 6 with various breakfast choices and everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they had. Staff were lovely and all the coffees were piping hot as was the food. Couldn’t fault anything.

    Food lovely, friendly staff...but it was busy, and despite booking in advance, we felt rushed. I had barely finished my food and my plate was taken away while I was still chewing...I got the impression they wanted the table free, even though we were there only an hr.

    Delicious breakfast especially the haggis which was recommended with the Nifty Fry. Great coffee too if you’re a coffee lover. The food took a little while to arrive but it was well worth the wait. This was our second visit for breakfast and I’m sure I’ll return again when I’m next in Edinburgh.
