This place is right around the corner from Radisson Blu hotel, so perfect spot for breakfast. There are two sides, one for reservations one for no reservations. Make reservations if possible. Service was quick, staff was friendly and food was so good we went twice on our 4 day trip!

Our hotel receptionist recommended this place for breakfast while we waited for check-in. We walked over and waited in line to be seated for maybe 25 min? But honestly soooo worth the wait! This place is OUTSTANDING. The space is intimate & cozy but well-decorated. Especially loved the chalkboard showing where they source their ingredients from! How cool! Where Larder shines the most is the quality of their food. One bite and I was changed. That waffle killed me and revived me and now I am made whole again. There are two versions of me, pre waffle and post waffle. I will be thinking about this meal for a long time. Huge thank you and cheers to everyone working here to create such a wonderful restaurant experience. I know a lot of hard work and love goes into it. You can taste it.

We almost didn't get to experience this place because the queue was long the first time, but we found out that it actually moves quick. You can either reserved or wait. Food is fantastic for me and my friend. Just didn't like the iced matcha latte, couldn't taste the matcha in it. But the atmosphere and food and service made up for it! Will certainly come back again for a brunch next time we are in Edinburgh!
