This place is packed for a good reason! You come in and are immediately welcomed by the sweetest staff. We got the Breakfast Stack Pancakes, the portion is huge and we couldn’t finish it, but it’s fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the hashbrown with sour cream and spring onions. It was also my first time tasting the pancakes with butter, bacon and maple syrup and definitely not my last time! For drinks I got Edinburgh fog which is rather sweet but it’s a hug in a cup. I highly recommend making a reservation. Next time in Edinburgh, we’ll definitely come back🩵.
A lot of people recommended this place, and for good reason! The food was delicious. I got the breakfast stack pancakes which was a lot of food, but so good. The staff are always around in case you need anything, and the restaurant is a good size so that it cannot get too loud. The bathrooms are also stocked with a variety of menstrual products which is awesome! There was about a 30 min wait for me, one person, but there are a couple cafes up the street you can go grab a coffee while you wait.
Wonderfully elegant spot for earlier dining. We stopped by for brunch and had a great meal. This is a place that you certainly need reservations as it is relatively small inside. My full Scottish was delicious, served hot along with the rest of the table. Espresso and cappuccino were good and served in some really neat and unique lookimg ceramic cups (we purchased one as a souvenir of the trip). The food was very good and the wait staff was excellent getting the order right and navigating the tight space.
This was the best brunch of my entire life ! Excellent quality of products and great service. I took the full scottish, a lavender white hot chocolate and an orange juice. Incredible flavours here. You need to book before going and careful you’ll have about 1h to eat that is quite short to relax to my mind. However I recommend it 100%. To finish, the decoration is cosy and I had a cute candle on my table at the window! A perfect experience !🥰
Had the most amazing breakfast here! So glad to see the amount of veggie and vegan options. Highly recommend the veggie “traditional” scottish breakfast. Everything was to die for and the service was great. I recommend reserving a table in advance because it gets busy really quickly. Also, when it’s full, it gets a bit tight, and you are sat very very close to strangers. Just something to consider if you get overwhelmed easily with little space.

Edinburgh's cosiest brunch spot, serving legendary breakfast stacks and Scottish classics in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
