"Was waking around looking for a place for brunch and stumbled across this beautiful little cafe like being in your own living room. The guy serving was extremely pleasant and kind, when I ordered the Scottish breakfast I asked for no black pudding and he kindly added in a square sausage. It was all delicious. Thank you for making Friday a little brighter."

"Outstanding. Deserving of every 5 start rating, an absolutely delicious place for a wrap, soup or salad. This saved my culinary day. The owner is a lovely resident of Edinburgh, Omar. The wrap was simple, humble and delicious. I really enjoyed the fusion of flavour with Sudanese and Mediterranean Flavor. The chili harrissa with preserved lemon was just outstanding. Wraps and Salads are always available as is the delicious Vegan Banana, Oak and Sultana cake. They have a more extensive menu that is available weekends. If you would like to try on a weekday, give the restaurant a call to see what they have available. Truly a gem in Bruntsfield. Thank you for my delicious wrap and your friendliness Omar, you are a wonderful addition to this neighborhood!"

"Tiny and intimate basement restaurant in Stockbridge with a warm welcome and genuine authentic Italian food which is an order of magnitude above even good Italian eateries. The young couple who own and run it (husband front-of-house, wife cooking) do a fantastic flavour-packed 5- or 7-course tasting menu, with the a la carte option on Thursday and Sunday. We shared a charcuterie platter to start (all sourced from a mountain village in the Marche, with crusty focaccia and peppery olive oil; followed by sweet (and v tender) octopus for my wife and and perfectly cooked, savoury wild mallard breast with pistachios and cavolo nero for me. Brilliantly done, deep deep flavours. As a pudding the goat cheese Seada with figs and honey was absolutely superb: a crispy deep-fried “raviolo” filled with salty goat cheese and balanced by the honey. To kill for. Not joking. Good selection of less-known Italian wines, including several from the Marche region. Not ridiculously expensive, cosy and great vfm. Lovely folk too; food made with love and hospitality."

"what a wonderful experience that has been removed from the water in leith is ostara an absolute joy. I was here for dinner and was thrilled with the whole experience that it was great to eat itself. I have to say, it's the first time I really appreciated the texture in a court, because everything was so well balanced. the menu is small, but I really believe that ostara is a perfect example for a place that is a small menu where everything is made perfect. everything on it is with such care and attention that they can be sure what they choose, it will be wonderful on eating the workers before the house wonderful. not even we felt hurried or harassed, nor felt neglected or ignored. the personal was friendly and attentive and made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable I am so glad that this restaurant has found and will return to try their breakfast and lunch menu if I can!"

"We recently had the pleasure of dining at The Kitchin in Edinburgh. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we felt ensconced in the atmosphere and genuine hospitality the restaurant provided. It was apparent that great care had been taken to create a place that was pleasing and comfortable as the interior décor was cozy and intimate. The Surprise Tasting Menu was diverse and the dishes were crafted with the utmost skill and creativity. Each of the seven courses that we indulged in was a true masterpiece (including the vegetarian versions) because the favors were exquisite and the presentation of each dish was a work of art. The staff was very knowledgeable in describing each dish and you can taste the thoughtfulness and care in every delicious bite. We were very pleased that we decided to also include the wine pairing because we enjoyed learning about each and they complimented each dishes perfectly. The only glitch was that the optional cheese course took a lot longer to be served than the previous courses and then the rest of the courses took longer than usual, as well as receiving our bill at the end, and the dinner service ended up taking 5 hours. Regardless, we had an exceptional meal that we thoroughly enjoyed and will never forget. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5"
