If I lived in Old Town, I&#39;d be a regular. Just had the Scottish Full Breakfast with a cappuccino. Spot on. Staff were quick and friendly, no fuss. Exactly what you want in the morning.

Andrii provided attentive service throughout our business lunch. The set menu offered solid value for money. Food was well-prepared and arrived promptly. A reliable spot for a working meal.

Came here for an early breakfast. The scrambled eggs were really good, nice and fluffy on decent toast. Coffee was fine too. It&#39;s a quiet, snug little spot. A solid choice for a simple morning meal.

Just a simple, honest cafe. The breakfast was spot on - felt like a proper home-cooked meal, left me full but not stuffed. Staff were nice, prices fair. Exactly what I needed.

Finally found a proper tablet in Edinburgh! The owner was so lovely, made the whole visit feel warm. Price was very reasonable too, which was a nice surprise.

Lunch here was efficient. The bean curd family style had good spice level as asked. Menu is extensive, which is useful. Complimentary crackers were appreciated. Solid option for a business meal in the area.

Been coming here for years for a quiet breakfast. The coffee&#39;s always spot on, a proper strong brew. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. The space is nice and calm, good for reading the paper.

Been coming here for years, and the coffee is always spot on. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. The space is nice and the art is cool, but honestly, I&#39;m just here for a reliably good flat white. It&#39;s my go-to spot when I need to just sit and think for a bit.

Popped in for a Nutella hot chocolate. It was nice, but I did notice it was quite sweet. I appreciate when places use good quality ingredients, so I&#39;d be curious to know what kind of chocolate they use. The staff were very friendly.

The croissants here are a solid choice for a quick breakfast. They&#39;re flaky and not overly sweet, which I appreciate. The coffee is okay, but I really wish they offered a non-dairy milk option. It&#39;s a simple, affordable spot.

Stopped by this cafe in the garden for a coffee after visiting the castle. The vibe is definitely chill, which I liked. But the coffee itself was just okay. For the price they&#39;re charging, I was expecting something a bit better. It&#39;s fine for the location, but not a standout.

Student discount is a nice touch, makes it a go-to for a quick coffee with friends. Prices are definitely better than other spots nearby. We grabbed lattes and just hung out for a bit. Good for a casual catch-up.

The soy latte was really good, creamy and not too sweet. Sat there for a while just enjoying it with that view of the castle. The staff were nice, but honestly, I just remember the coffee.

The smoked salmon and cream cheese was delicious, and I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted. A lovely spot for a light lunch.

I loved the friendly service at Oink! The staff were helpful and made great recommendations for toppings to pair with the pork.

The server noticed my dish wasn&#39;t quite right and swapped it out so quickly, with a genuine smile. That kind of care really stood out.

Cannonball is a fantastic restaurant with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The haggis balls and venison are must-tries!

The Croque Madame was spot on, and the staff kept their cool (and good humour) during our big group breakfast. A nice glass of crisp white would have been the perfect pairing.

A lovely spot for brunch. I really appreciated the gluten-free options. The poached eggs three ways were fresh and well-prepared, the eggs tasted like they were from a good source. The coffee was a highlight, robust and smooth. Staff were friendly and genuine.

Stumbled in for a quick bite. The birria and carne asada tacos were legit. Fresh corn tortillas made all the difference. Felt like a proper taste of Mexico right here in Edinburgh.

The pork ragu was fantastic, but the real draw is the daily changing menu. Keeps things interesting.

A handy find right by our hotel. The walk to Princess Street was actually quite nice, not too far at all. Made popping out for a bite super easy.

Nice spot for a relaxed meal. The modern design is pleasant, and the big glass front gives a decent view of the river. Food was pretty good, though the service was a little slow at times.

A decent spot for wings. The Korean BBQ ones were pretty good, mango habanero had a nice kick. A solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and fancy that sort of thing. The place was a bit loud, but it&#39;s fine for a casual meal.

I celebrated a special occasion here, and the food was fantastic! The tapas were some of the best I&#39;ve had, and the service was exceptional, even bringing a complimentary cake for my daughter.

Came here on a friend&#39;s tip. The space is really lovely&mdash;warm lighting, those comfy velvet chairs, and lots of greenery. It just felt like a nice place to unwind. Our server, Joy, was super friendly and on top of things even though it was packed.

Had the lunch special. Portion was decent for the price, and it&#39;s halal which is a plus. The place was spotless, staff were nice. Not bad for a quick bite.

The staff were so on top of things even when the place was packed. My pasta arrived steaming, which was a nice touch. They kept things moving without making you feel rushed.
