We had a delicious evening meal here, with super efficient and friendly service. Despite the good reviews I’ve read, the place was super quiet (Sunday evening but with the Christmas markets in full swing), only two other tables in - bit of a shame but in no way detracted from a lovely meal. Would definitely recommend.

We make sure that we always eat here whenever we are in Edinburgh. Wish they had a branch in London. Had breakfast one day and brunch the next. Make sure you book in advance as it's always very busy.
