Regenerative farm, genuinely there is not a thing they could do that I wouldn't love. the veg boxes, the rooms, the sauna, the montly couryard sessions ,the events, the feasting sessions.. the whole vibe and ambiance, and charlie/his brother who I can't remember are so passionate about it. also the quad bikes story. anyway I would get married here if I could that's how much I love it (and on that note they do actually do private events for hire)

so this may be skewed based on the fact that I just had the BEST time here and we had the best server to the point where I almost asked them to join us. But i loved this, i felt like i was in a greek grandmother's sitting room.

Oh i loved everything about this place, unique menu, fantastic cocktails and drinks, vibey setting. I also came with annie and max and had such a fun giggly time . We had these mushrooms with some sort of charred foam that I dream about Very into foraging , and they follow a whole carcass butchery approach to not waste any of the animal. sister restaurants are heron, cardinal

Roberta Hall is the chef! I love this place, sat up at the bar last time I went and just loved everything we tried Stanely tucci tried here

Ok so a few takes on this. For cafe in the morning controversially did NOT LIKE!! The tables felt like I was in a barnes and noble cafe and I can't even believe how horrible their mugware was (the like think white mugs) However I had the best best best dinner here with Sam and I still think about it, it was one of the best dinners I've had in edinburgh maybe full stop

My fav of the markets, they do lots of events and cultural festivals which is cool

Love love one of my fav wine bars, like every single person who works here, like the size I really want to befriend the staff here and i'm trying my hardest

It's a bit hyped right now but when I went I did genuinely love the food, apparently the tiramisu is fab but haven't tried it. Cool cocktail menu, cool vibe

I am a woman of habit and that habit is fortitude roasted in edi and seasonal

Yes love it, really good vegan options as well, only downside is it's in the gyle

one of my favs and I LOVE the barista

In the shopping centre so not a great atmosphere, but one of my FAV restaurants for Asian small plates. They're owned by scoop restaurant group and christ do they know what they are doing! Scoop Restaurants

Prob my fav cocktail spot in edi but that might be skewed by the fact that I love a negroni and they do a negroni flight

I just love, good coffee, like the outdoor setting, cool food options

they do loads of wine tastings here and I think the upstairs bit is good atmosphere but not the downstairs area. I think the food here is better than the food at little capo actually but probably not fair based off only trying each one once.

I love them here!! I think this is such a good alternative to Lannan and pastries are not as inventive but pretty much just as good. They don't really have a good vegan option though

Good cocktails.

I LOVE hand pulled noodles it's genuinely my fav noodle group, good vegan options. The atmopshere choice might be controversial but I've rated it high ( I don't mind close seating, but it could be just actually quite possibly too close to the people next to you)

cute little place

the guy was really chatty about the wine, I couldn't decide how I felt about the vibe but overall positive and I liked it

weird door handle

closed and i'm devastated I loved it here so much

So the first time I wasn't massively impressed but when I brought Khang and Gabby the food was SO good. I think it was more just the bao buns were mid (taking into consideration that I was very influenced by Khang's opinion and he's got high high standards for a bao)

love this place and the large communal table but there is one guy who works here that I can't stand, but then there's another guy who works here that I love so it evens out

It is hard to go wrong with Ramen

a classic what more to say

cosy love the atmosphere, good value of wine/food. walk-in only

Really solid veggie/vegan menu. I also think the atmosphere is hit and miss for people becuase it feels like a pub which I like but it could feel a bit dark for brunch during the day

I need to stop going on dates here it's ruining what is a fanatstic little spot for me. I also miss the craft beer scene in america so it's nice to have something akin to that

Cute i love it, good for en route or after pentlands

so I loved this the only werid thing is that it's kinda small plates but it's actually really hard to share pasta

I hate the name but I love them

More of a lunch/brunch place but also have friday weekly evening dinners. Lovely small menu, very irish

Not for sit in, but the owners are lovely and it's also a store so good to browse

Sunny day sat outside can't beat it

sadly now closed :( :(

Northern Irish bakery (used to be called gorse but I'm pretty sure they were sued by gorse in comrie croft and had to change their name)

I feel like it's a good work suggestion

I struggled to put something down for ambiance because stylistically it's fantastic but it's just way too much of a internet queue tourist fad for me to rate it higher. BUT give darcie her dues the pastries are genuinely fantastic, coffee average. You can pre order pastries though and collect from the pantry store the mugware is based purely off what they have in the pantry to purchase and it's in collab with a local pottery person (what do you call them, a potter?) and they are stunning and I would want the mfor my flat

Ethiopian food and was v good

Bit out of the way but they love their coffee here and they love talking about their coffee

outdoor cafe in the pentlands say no more, bad coffee though

I need to re rate food but as a place it's so interesting to have in the city

Really good cocktails and love the atmosphere, food is interestingly way fancier than I think a place like this warrants Just another note, I thought this was a real historical person for like two years lol

Great sit-down restaurant with views of the castle. I brought my parents here and they loved it.

can pretty reliably always get a seat, and also they love mabel roasted in edi and formed in the cairngorms

Food is surprisingly good

I actually am just not cool enough to be in here however love the coffee

Nothing to say but fantastic food

so I went with Liz and her family when they came and while it's a bit meat forward for me, it was genuinely quite tasty

A bit modern feeling for my taste and maybe leans slightly to pretentious?

I also never think to go but it is actually quite good

I brought jacqueline here and the food was really good, not massively unique obvi but good, also dog friendly which not lots of asian restaurants seem to be

this reminded me of babbs in fargo

part cafe part store (stor)

I have a hard time rating this becuase i think I would tell people to go here for a drink depending on the person if they were visiting edinburgh but I wouldn't really ever go myself

I hate the name I hate the font but I actually like the place and the ambiance

I mean I think it didn't blow me away but I loved the atmosphere and will give the food another go

Like!

good if you want burgers

Actually quite like this place and I tend to recommend it for people visiting if they want a kind of pub meal that isn't actually a pub meal and it's a good location

this is random but the drinks here are so thick, I also don't know where they source their coffee and oat milk from but it is so distinct

takeaway, but oddly when we went and I got the vegan sausage on the veggie bao they just gave me the sausage separately lol. The atmosphere rating is based on that you can take away to the botnaics quite easily

we did dinenr here during the DS weekend trip and the food was extrememyl uneventful in my memory but I it's a good cocktail spot, especially if someone is visiting edi for the first time so I'd for sure put it on someone's list AND I think the atmosphere is really nice

um I can't decide, I would go here with work and have the cocktails paid for on ACN dime but I thin the cost prob isn't worth what you're getting otherwise. Also I think it's REALLY hard to do a speakeasy that doesn't feel even a bit gimmicky. I'm probably more likely to recommend this to someone visiting rather than just go myself with friends

I know it's a chain but I love dishoom and you can't convince me otherwise

Kinda cool unique spot in the arches and good coffee, I think I would recommend to someone who was visiting or needed to catch a train. I think more from a city-planning lens they need to do so much mroe with the arches becuase there's lots of potential for this area but it's weird vibes

Only done the private dining, in a cool little basement private room that felt like a den. I didn't pay so I cant speak to cost value etc. but I got a cauliflower steak and it was very very good. I'm really not a steak dinner kind of person so I can't actually speak to it otherwise

I think good option if you've got a large group and need space, I really only go here during fringe for shows though

Same owner as Spry, Ireally like their coffee and I think they've got really cool pastries and very inventive but I HATE their indoor space and I would only really go if I could get a spot outside on a sunny day

the coffee is a bit unique depending on the bean so it could really be hit or miss, the food actually looks alright even though I havne't had it. a bit of a 'cool girl' spot though and that puts me off it

They have long long ago closed but I can't bear to take them off this list

So I have only been here when I brought my parents for afternoon tea and my expectations were low becuase I find afternoon teas quite stuffy but WOW, what an experience. Live harp, a massive tea menu, and they explain everything so well. Carol loved it

I really can onnly rate the food and I always love a pho

The one on the cycle path is the best but I do also frequent the one in haymarket when I'm at work they also do pizza and negronis in the summers on the newhaven cycle path one

My favourite when I was at uni or visiting as a tourist. Gen quite good coffee which is not that expected in this area of the city, like the general stying of both locatiosn as well

I never. think to go but it is good, I think it's owned by the same guy as gautams but i need to check that

Like the pastry items and good bread but not a huge variety and even though they say they do try to be seasonal where possible they don't really do anything too inventive. I also hate the oat milk that they use, BUT they are open from 7am which is a rarity

This general genre of food is up there with my fav, I think the atmosphere CAN feel a bit chain even though it's not but maybe that's just becuase it's part of kimpton? dunno but it is a place would happily recommend. Actually Sam went here when he came up for new years and his opinion was that it was incred

solid choice for a walk in but it doesn't really feel local independent

I like sitting at the ourdoor seats by the canal

Good coffee, nice pastries, weird atmosphere

Good option if I'm going for lunch when I'm at work, I do feel a bit weird about two white guys having a bahn mi restaurant though

I'm extremely picky on tacos and I think this is alright but someone from here would think it's very good

good for a lil fringe slice

Wasn't blown away by the food but they were SO dog friendly

Probably not worth the price if I'm being HONEST but I went once the simar weekend and genuinely had such a lovely time here and good meal, would not be rushing to go back or take someone here though as there are way better food for value options

oh my god the way I want to know the drama that ensued with bacco SO bad. So artisan pasta is now closed and it's now bacco's kitchen which I haven't tried the food yet so will do an updated rating if I do

Cute spot in stockbridge, great thai food, I do tend to forget it exists

I wouldn't go out of my way but I do like a greek pastry

I'm sure good but unmemorable

Love the outdoor bit on a sunny day, genuinely like the food as well for a casual brek or lunch. Not the biggest coffee fan though

So I go back and forth on this, I do like it but in my area it's prob my least fav? I also only like the atmosphere if you get the window seat

I don't really know how to rate this becuase if you weren't from edinburgh it probably would be quite a cool spot, but there is much better food and drink quality options. the Ewans brought me to an afternoon tea here which was cool but I always think an afternoon tea food-wise is mid

overall I like the space, I like the coffee, my only gripe is that NO ONE in this place has any ounce of urgency

I wouldn't sit in, but I put the atmosphere slightly higher becuase it's good for takeaway to porty

So I do like this but christ the clientelle here is 90% north of 80 years old I feel like i"m in a time warp

The main restaurant is in Glasgow, but this cafe version is some of my fav indian food I've had here

I really wasn't impressed as a cafe, but could be cool in the evening as a drinks spot? Will ahve to go back and suss

I need to go back for dinner but the bahn mi was an average (but even an average bahn mi is good

I love the little spanish woman who works here so much

actually a decent breakfasty type food which edinburgh does NOT do well, but I had a very awkward one time experience here that unfortunately I will always assocaite with greenwoods

Yeah it's ok

I really like turkish food in general so I loved the food here, and amy ordered in turkish which was a particular highlight

I'm so conflicted on this becuase I like the whole ethos of the restaurant and it's a tom kitchin creation, but I was so underwhelmed by the food when I went that I wouldn't really recommend to anyone over a different option unless they very specifically needed something dog and/or kid friendly (they do have a little kid play area and apparently a good kid menu). I also have only actually gone twice, once for a sunday roast the infamous simar weekend, and then I brought my parents and both times were 'ok'

This is the cafe in browns and I do like the coffee and you can very reliably get a place to sit but I think the whole industrial vibe is a bit cold for me, also theres always loads of families here so would be good for someone bringing kids but not as much if you wanted somewhere quiet to sit

I think it's overhyped, but also I'm just not a big fan of focaccia as a sandwich bread in general, although they did give me a whole ass loaf of focaccia the one time I did go and that was nice

So boring I can't remember a thing

Also random spot but better choice than B&W, i'd maybe recommend if it were a bsy time of year and you didn't have a booking anywhere and people wanted different things

It's so highly rated but it was so mid, and I HATED the decor

I just think it's quite a niche custardy type place to go, coffee is mid-slightly above average, but I really like the owner she's super nice, and they have this crazy spaniel that i think is super funny that the spaniel just sits in the back of the cafe all day So they started this becuase I think they lived in france and fell i nlove with caneles

I mean a bit corporate-y but maybe thats just because I always go with work. I really don't think you can fuck up a bowl of ramen though

I mean I would go if people went, but I just think this is so boring I don't know why it's constantly so highly recommended!!

So I do like this but what the heck are they trying to be. it's genuinely quite confusing

Would only really recommend to people visiting if they want to go up to the roof for a view of the castle, otherwise genuinely why go, it feels quite corporate chain. Although we did go here pre me accidentally going to a concert with Adam and they did give us a mini cowboy hat in a drink which was the birth of the mini hat running joke that has now been going for months

I like the food, it's BYOB, but dont love the setting

Really only would go if I wanted to be outside at the front but I hate the vibe inside and I dislike the people who seem to frequent here

wow this really wasn't the vibe for me

oh my god we went here (NOT of my accord) the simar weekend and to be fair we did have a great time, but I think becuase ACN was paying I wasn't paying attention to price of things, and deffo not worth the cost. also Jen and I ordered that skull sharing cocktail thing and it was like £80 from my memory and it was genuinely maybe the worst thing I've ever tasted and we had to start taking it as shots. But what I will say is that it was a really bonding experience

I just do not understand why they always have such a queue it's so mid (at best)

I just wasn't impressed and if you were in this area you should go to Room & Rumours or Cappuccino

So average, would only rec if you're desparate in old town

wow I hated the setting, and there is really so much they could do with this space, it's just too big for the lack of seats. What they should do is make it more events based and host like coffee tasting sessions and stuff like that

I wasnt overly impressed but i also recognise i got an avo toast and I dont actually think i like avocado that much

I cannot for the life of me remember anything about the food or the experience other than the family next to us that asked if I could speak to them becuase their son loved americans (this was a scottish family to clarify) and when I said hi to the son he asked if I knew mr beast

I hate the fairy lights, they are dog friendly though

bad, but I did this to myself given it's literally in a hotel lobby. If someone was visiting and needed a place to camp out and work thought it does give off that vibe

genuinely disgusting coffee I didn't even finish it

All these places are actually just a cafeteria trying to look like cool market. Anyway it's an odd choice and I'd only really go if you had a group and you didn't want to be responsible for everyone's opinion

hate it lauriston castle is the only exception but for takeway only
