The staff were so friendly and attentive. They brought us iced water right away without us having to ask.

A decent neighbourhood spot with a French twist on Scottish ingredients. The menu&#39;s got enough variety to please most. Had the haggis croquettes &ndash; pretty good flavour, though the portion felt a touch small for the price.

Nice brunch spot. The French toast with peaches was pretty good, and we got seated quickly even though it was busy.

Lovely little spot for a lazy weekend catch-up. The vibe is just right &ndash; cozy and warm, with soft lighting that makes you want to linger. It does get packed on Saturdays, so be ready for a bit of a wait.

Stumbled upon this place after wandering the Royal Mile. The back dining area is so quiet, you forget the busy street outside. Had the fish and chips - the batter was really light and crispy. A nice little find.

Dosa menu is huge, had to ask the server for a recommendation. Went with the classic masala one - came out piping hot, edges were properly crisp. The chutneys were fresh too. Portion felt a bit small for the price, but the quality was there.

Been coming here for years. The staff always greet you with a smile and know the regulars. Makes it feel like a proper local spot.

The king prawn karahi was pretty good. Prawns were plump, sauce had a decent flavour. A solid choice for a curry. The portion was fine, though the price felt a touch high. Would order it again.

Nice spot for a business lunch. The service was prompt and efficient, which is key for me. The building itself is quite impressive, both inside and out. Food was decent, nothing spectacular, but it got the job done. Good location near the office.

Been coming here for years, and the veggie options are always solid. The Som Tum is consistently fresh and tangy, and the Pad Mee Tofu never disappoints. It&#39;s my go-to for a reliable, tasty meal.

Lovely spot for a coffee after a stroll. The cakes are delicious and the seats by the window are very comfortable.

Love the relaxed, neighbourhood feel here. You can tell it&rsquo;s a local favourite by the regulars chatting with the staff. That kind of consistent, friendly vibe is what keeps me coming back.

Love the fresh ingredients here. The salad was crisp and the chicken was perfectly grilled. A nice spot for a healthy meal.

No. 20 of Bars in Edinburgh

Chicken thigh and aubergine were the standouts. Small plates let you try a few things. Fresh ingredients, good flavour. Simple but solid.

Been here a few times. The grilled fish is always spot on, juicy and not dry. Halloumi fries are decent, good for sharing. It&#39;s a cozy spot, feels like a proper local taverna. Prices are fair for the area.

The chicken baguette was the standout. Properly juicy, good flavour. Solid selection of sandwiches and pastries overall. Service was efficient, got my order quickly. Convenient for a working lunch.

The venison haunch was great, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. The house cognac cocktail was a nice touch though.

Walked in without a booking and they squeezed us in. The staff were so friendly, really made us feel welcome.

Lovely cafe, very clean and the decorations are fun. I had the vegetarian plate - it was really filling. The soy mocha was tasty too. Service was efficient, even though it was quite busy. A comfortable spot for a relaxed meal.

The haggis had a lovely, earthy flavour. My husband&#39;s portion with the whisky sauce looked fantastic&mdash;he kept saying how good it was. A nice introduction for me.

The tiramisu French toast was the star. It was rich, not dry at all. I also tried the Croque Madame version and the &#39;Hoots Mon&#39; benedict - both were solid, filling plates. A good spot for a proper brunch.

Came with friends and the coconut crispy duck was so good! The octopus salad had this amazing kick to it. We also shared the sour pork curry special - that one was the star of the table. Perfect for sharing plates with a group.

The Eggs Royale were perfect, and the coffee was great. It&#39;s a good spot for a Saturday catch-up with friends, even when it&#39;s busy.

Brunch spot near the Royal Mile. The Turkish mezze was fresh, but the borek and scrambled eggs with sausage really stood out. Just a nice, tasty vibe for a weekend morning.

The cocktails are fresh, really inspired. Tried the gin one with cucumber, it was crisp and balanced. Went well with the grilled octopus. The whisky sour was a bit too sweet for me, but the others were spot on.

A nice, bright spot to work. The coffee is reasonably priced and the ingredients taste fresh.

The banana nest and croissant were tasty and generous. Everything&#39;s fresh, so service can be a bit slow, but it&#39;s worth it.

The samosa chaat here was fantastic. The aloo tikki was fresh and packed with flavour. As a vegetarian, I was really impressed. A solid spot for chaat.

The tom kha chicken soup was really nice, and the rice went well with it. Just a heads up that the rice is an extra charge, which I wasn&#39;t expecting.

If you&#39;re in Edinburgh, you can&#39;t miss this gem! The portions are generous, and the flavors are authentic. The staff is friendly and ensures you have a great meal.
