    Great spot to enjoy a meal and drink while savoring the beauty and activity of the city. Our group gobbled up the burger, fries, garlic cheese bread, and Caesar salad - loving it all. Great indoor and outdoor seating available here.

    Delicious breakfast with plenty of choices, incredibly friendly staff, and a perfect location. If you're looking for a traditional Scottish breakfast/lunch, this is the place to be. P.S. The wide selection of different drinks also pleased us;-)

    We visited this venue twice during the Fringe. We ate well on both occasions and would not hesitate to return. Attractive dining room or outside seated area when the weather permits. Separate breakfast and lunch menus, both filled with well presented and tasty meals. Lovely staff who were attentive and fun.
