Amazing meal with fabulous presentation. We devoured it so we only have photos of dessert. the “BEST Sticky toffee pudding in Carmel sauce” she’s ever had! The lamb was tasty in a delicious sauce as was the pork tenderloin. What can I say — their lunch menu is amazing! My kids ask to go there every day. Their favorite is the smoked salmon with brioche, which they absolutely love. We visited during the Fringe festival, great found. Brunch in an outdoor (dining street side) setting in beautiful Edinburgh where we could breathe in all the excitement? Yes please! The food was great, flavorful and a lot of it. I gave less than five stars on service because I think our server left and they forgot to bring our bill. We waited about 15 minutes before we caught someone to give us our bill so we could pay.

This was a last minute, we are hungry, get out of our way kind of stop. But you know what? This was really good. We had our first experience with haggis I liked it a lot. , and everything was really good. We all also had an old fashioned with Scotch whiskey. Really nice!
