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.

Loved the space here. It&#39;s surprisingly quiet for Haymarket, really spacious and relaxing. The high ceilings and big windows make it feel so airy, a nice break from the usual bustle.

They&#39;ve added a few new dishes, which is nice. The service was solid throughout. But the condiments really stood out - they paired so well with everything else. A thoughtful touch that made the meal.

Zahid was a really good waiter. He was friendly and gave us some helpful suggestions for what to order. The service made our family dinner here quite nice.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always the same peaceful vibe. Love the quiet corners, perfect for a proper catch-up or just reading a book. The music&#39;s always spot-on, never too loud. My go-to for a breather.

Lovely spot with those big windows and a view. The atmosphere is really nice. I did find the chairs a bit hard for a longer meal, but the service was friendly and attentive.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always spot on. Staff know the menu inside out, and they&#39;re just quietly attentive. Never had to ask for a refill or flag anyone down. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The Thai chicken panini is my go-to here. The chicken is super tender, and that sweet chili sauce with the fresh coriander just works. Honestly, one of the better sandwiches I&#39;ve had in Edinburgh.

Mazz and Jess are always so friendly, they remembered my usual order without me even saying it. That kind of personal touch is nice, makes it feel more than just a transaction. The coffee is good, but honestly it&#39;s the service that keeps me coming back.

The team here is really lovely. I asked about a soy-free drink, and they knew the options right away, no need to check a chart or anything. That kind of knowledge makes a difference.

The sashimi was really fresh, and the tempura batter was light and crisp. The sake flight was a nice touch, though the pours were a bit small. Still, a solid meal.

Tried the Full Scottish breakfast. It&#39;s a proper feed, good value for the size. The salmon and scrambled eggs were a nice change too. Solid spot for a big breakfast.

Popped in for a coffee and a bite. The two ladies working were really nice, chatty without being overbearing. Coffee was good, solid. Ended up staying longer than planned just because it felt easy.

Solid fish and chips. Crispy outside, flaky fish inside. Chips had a nice touch of vinegar. Good spot to stop after walking around.

The coffee&#39;s always spot on, and the staff are lovely - they remember the regulars. Good spot to get some work done with a latte.

Everything&#39;s made fresh to order, which I appreciate. The staff were lovely and really knew their tea selection. I had a pot of their jasmine, which paired nicely with the light lunch. A solid spot for a quiet afternoon.

Salt beef melt bagel was spot on. Tender beef, perfect with the gherkins and mustard. Great find at the station.

The Korean fried chicken bowl was tasty, sticky glaze and all. The space itself is what got me though &ndash; high ceilings, big windows, and those comfy booths make a world of difference when you&#39;re stuck in an airport. Just feels less hectic.
