4.6 / 5.0(3,983 reviews)

The breakfast was really lovely — fresh, tasty, and beautifully served. Everything was full of flavour, and the atmosphere was very nice and cozy. We had to wait around 30 minutes, but it was totally worth it in the end. Highly recommend this place for a proper breakfast in Edinburgh Honestly, this was the best restaurant breakfast I’ve ever had in my life — everything was just perfect. Not too sweet, not soggy nor too salty. You could taste the quality and care in every bite. There was a small incident during my visit, but the staff handled it incredibly well. It was one of those things no chef could fully control, and since they took it seriously and went above and beyond to make it right, I left more than satisfied. Highly recommend this place if you happen to be in Edinburgh, and want to try a full Scottish breakfast— amazing food, lovely people, and genuine hospitality. I had the best meal here in Edinburgh. I bookmarked this place for breakfast so I knew what I was getting. When the hash landed on my table, Wow. I can see they take pride in preparing the food. And they use locally sourced produce. The pan-fried crispy herb potatoes were easily the best potato-based food I had so far. It’s flavourful, heartwarming, and crispy at the edges. The flat white is great too. The service is friendly and prompt. This place fills up quickly during breakfast, and it was almost full when I left.

Our meal was delicious, we enjoyed the food and their coffee is very good. I didn't enjoy the automatic service charge they place on the bill. It says optional and they tell you it's optional, but the way it's delivered makes you feel like a bad person if you want to take it off. Definitely felt too guilty to remove it. It's the second place that we've been to that has done it. But the first place the service went above and beyond so we were happy to pay it. But today the service didn't stand out so it left me feeling a bit bitter.

We had the best breakfast here on our first day in Edinburgh recently. The Full Scottish was just what we we needed after our long flight the day before. I especially loved the Black Pudding and Haggis. The staff were super friendly and very interested to hear our travel plans. So glad we made a booking here based on the reviews that we had read. We will definitely come back on our next visit.
