A lovely experience at The Cheese Lounge, staff engaging, knowledgeable and kind. We did not want it to end! Shame it closed at 8pm ! We weren't aware of this at booking. However we understand it is a long day in the shop, we will return thanks again for a lovely evening of cheese and wine. Gillian

Lovely experience . We had a cheese platter, scotch egg and wine. Excellent server who explained the origin of all the cheeses. We were first in the lounge which was a little cold but soon warmed up once the heater was on. Well worth a visit

The food and wine were excellent and the staff were extremely helpful and informative. It was a very quiet Sunday lunchtime. Only one other party were present and in a room of tiled surfaces, sound travels hence the rating for ambience.

Cheese lounge is a must for cheese lovers. A cosy area at the back of Melli cheese shop in morningside. Where you can enjoy delicious cheese and or charcuterie served with bread and oatcakes. Their scotch eggs are also very tasty and there is a variety. There is music playing for atmosphere but not to loud so you can have a conversation. It’s is a nice treat for the afternoon and you certainly don’t need much of an evening meal when you get home. Mind we had scotch eggs and a cheese board for 2. The only down side for us was their website is out of date and they no longer do soup which was delicious in the past
