We had such a lovely brunch. The place is small and cozy, and the food was absolutely amazing. They source their ingredients from farms across the UK, and you can genuinely taste the quality and freshness in every bite. We really enjoyed everything we ordered and would definitely recommend it for a delicious brunch in Edinburgh.

Great brunch menu, lots of choice. Went for the full scottish breakfast and the soup, both really good - but probably didn't need both tbh 😀 Best to book as really popular.

Simply stunning. Eggs Benedict were to die for. Perfect poached eggs, crispy bacon (and I’m not normally the biggest bacon fan) and lovely smooth hollandaise sauce. Kilted eggs with haggis were great, first time trying haggis (fantastic) and quick service without rushing us as we arrived 30 mins before close but they were great.
