We came with a reservation, which I recommend, for breakfast on a Sturday morning at 09h15. Many people queuing at the upper place, none at the site 15m down the road which seems to be the place for guests who reserved. We still had to wait some 15' outside until our reservation time was due, which I found unnecessarily frustrating as the tables where free. The service guys did their job, but I had the impression we disturbed them. Food is delicious and plentiful, pricing is confident, expect 25£ per adult. If money and service do not count, a very good address. If you look for a more personal experience or family-friendly pricing you better look elsewhere.

The food was very good, and the service was friendly. However, the prices were a little high, and the seating area was quite small, which made it feel less cosy and comfortable.

We stopped here for breakfast (two full Scottish breakfasts and a waffle). It’s a very popular spot in a touristy area that gets extremely busy, so pre-booking the main cafe is definitely recommended (though their little larder next door is a good alternative without a booking). The staff were lovely, enthusiastic, and welcoming! However, the food was just okay/average compared to other full Scottish breakfasts in the city, and it feels quite overpriced for what you get. Decent stop, but you can find better value nearby.

Came for breakfast without a booking. Was seated right away at the community table which wasn't a problem. Coffee was very good. I had a latte and my partner had a flat white with almond milk. We both had Benedicts - mine with bacon and hers with local Salmon. They were delicious. It was friendly service and quite fast. We were in and out in 30 minutes. Highly recommend!

Ci siamo fermati per il brunch che in realtà è un pasto completo, soprattutto se scegliete il piatto unico scozzese dove c'è un po' di tutto, compresi haggies molto buoni. I camerieri sono super disponibili e simpatici, il locale è diviso su due diversi civici entrambi con atmosfera familiare. Ottima anche la scelta di caffè e bevande varie. Posizione perfetta per una sosta mentre si visita la High street. Potrebbe esserci un po' di fila ma il personale è veloce a sistemare i nuovi tavoli.

A very popular place with a good reputation that is well deserved. Can be extremely busy with queues outside hence online reservation is recommended. We turned up on a Sunday morning at nine and were very lucky to get a table. Staff very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent with a kids menu as well. We enjoyed it thoroughly.
