The Edinburgh Larder - Blackfriars Street

Food and coffee excellent, truly tasty. The service on the other hand I have nothing good to say about. Waited for the coffee 15+ minutes and the place was not even full at that moment and they include a service charge of 12.5% in the price for what? The waiter took 10 minutes to notice us trying to ask him for the check and then he didn’t even smile at us while paying?

Very small cafe so would definitely recommend booking in advance. I had the kilted eggs - with haggis and black pudding patties. The patties were delicious but the hollandaise lacked flavour. Although I did enjoy the dish and the experience here, I thought £14.50 was a bit steep for such a small portion.

One of the best breakfasts we’ve had in Scotland. Superb artisan coffee and a menu that celebrates local farmers. It’s cozy, authentic, and located perfectly near the Cathedral. To top it off, the staff are incredibly friendly and made our family feel right at home.

This place is definitely worth visiting for the atmosphere, especially given its location near the main tourist area. It’s on the Edinburgh 'Top List' (and maybe went a bit viral), so be prepared that the prices are a bit higher than average. ​The food was good—not amazing or super special, but tasty enough. The serving style is quite unique: everything comes in boxes because the kitchen is located in a separate part of the building. Overall, a cool experience if you don't mind paying a little extra.

I would have walked straight past if it hadn't have been for my daughter taking me inside. Best thing she's ever done! I was surprised at the variety on offer and decided to order a Scottish dish as it was my first time in Edinburgh. How amazed was I when this beautiful plate of food came up that looked too good to eat! So delicately arranged and with beautiful flavors I sat and savoured every bite. I can't speak highly enough of this place. The care and passion for food and such genuinely friendly staff, I would make it my first port of call, no matter if I was to be alone or a large family gathering which one was going on and they were looked after. Well done guys, you absolutely blew me away 🌲
