As a tradesman working all around Edinburgh for ten years and sampling most of the food in the city i can honestly say this is next level breakfast. I got a link and stornoway black pudding roll (bap for our English cousins) and it was amazing, trust me try it, 20x better than greggs, sorry greggs but your breakfast food, it's so bland and tasteless. Anyway whoever runs this place and has recruited the staff has got it down to a tea, an asset to Edinburgh, well done.

El grano de café no es sorprendentemente bueno. Es un grano de tueste medio-oscuro. La parte antes de preparar el café no es relevante aquí. Lo decepcionante es que la leche está demasiado caliente y la espuma no es adecuada para el arte del latte. El café está mal preparado desde cualquier perspectiva. El personal es súper amable y agradable. Los asientos sony cómodos y relajantes. Y el pastel tampoco sabe extraordinario. Coffee beans are not surprising in their quality. These are medium-dark roast beans. The step before preparing the coffee is not important here. It disappears that the milk is too hot and the foam is not suitable for Latte Art. The coffee was poorly prepared from all points of view. The staff is very friendly and nice. The seating areas are comfortable and relaxing. And the cake is also not impressive in its taste.

We had our first visit to the Grand Cafe for Fizz and Flick where we had brunch followed by a film - on the most part, we loved our visit, however there were a few parts of the service that weren't great. We were asked if we would like our fizz upon entry and as my wife is pregnant, we asked if there was any non-alcoholic fizz as an alternative. The waitress said no, without giving any alternatives. We had to prompt if she could have a soft drink instead - which was fine. The majority of places we go, especially with a great reputation like the Grand Cafe, normally have non-alcoholic alternatives and staff don't require a prompt to offer a soft drink. The menu had around 6 options, 3 of which had hollandaise sauce and another with pesto. We asked if anything was unsuitable for pregnancy dietary requirements. The waitress went to ask the kitchen and came back to advise that the hollandaise sauce and pesto were unsuitable. There the options were quite limited. Instead of suggesting that the dishes were served without the sauce or pesto (they were just added on top of each meal) they were just ruled out completely. Again, it was a bit disappointing that there wasn't an alternative offered and instead the menu limited to two items. The food that we did have was delicious, it was just a shame there wasn't more variety for my wife. The overall experience was amazing and we'll definitely be back, maybe just without the brunch part.

Las instalaciones y el servicio estaban bien, pero por el precio me hubiera gustado obtener un poco más. Pedí un desayuno vegetariano por £ 13. 90 más o menos. Viene con ninguna tostada en absoluto y solo un huevo. El haggis vegetal (si es que eso es lo que era) sabía como si estuviera empezando a explotar. El resto estaba bien, pero no mucho para el precio. Con una pequeña olla de té de desayuno llegó a £ 17. 99, así que eso fue poco más de £ 4 para el té. Compro desayunos vegetarianos alrededor de Edimburgo bastante, ya que se adapta a mi horario de trabajo para tener una comida llena tarde en la mañana, combinando desayuno y almuerzo, por lo que me siento en una posición decente para comparar precios y ofertas. Si bien hay otros lugares que cobran aproximadamente lo mismo, generalmente obtiene algo mejor y más grande por ello. ¿Quizás no puedo pagar Bruntsfield?

I have been to Cafe Grande several times and in a couple of occasions I left a deserved good review. This time was different: I booked a table for me and my wife for breakfast to celebrate her birthday. We were seated right in front of the door but it was open .As it was windy and cold, we asked if we could sit at another table, as there was one free (for 2 people) far from the door. Our request was denied, instead the door was closed, but as there were people going in and out all the time, it was still discomfortable. Therefore we left before ordering. No apologies from staff, maybe they thought we were tourists and they did not care. Very disappointing attitude, very unlikely we will come back again.

Had a superb dinner here. We hadn't booked so we were pleased to be able get a table. The staff were really welcoming, very chatty and helpful and the food was superb. We had a bottle of the house wine (a blended white that didn't say much useful on the label) which was reasonably priced and very easy drinking (I'd guess at a viognier but who know). To start we had the beef cheeks (falling apart, plenty of gravy on the side) and the haggis spring rolls (which also went well with the gravy). For mains we had the chicken ballotin - very Mediterranean, delicious spring onion pave potatoes - and the beef bourgignon which was rich and robust with very tender beef and delicious garlic mashed potatoes. I had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was the best I've ever had - one of my favourite desserts and they absolutely nailed it. The tables are well spaced and the background music is low enough so that is easy to have a conversation at normal volume level. All round a fabulous, low key place that I would recommend for a relaxed and delicious meal.

This is one of the popular cafes in Edinburgh Bruntsfield area. We came by for lunch on a weekday, and were surprised by the wait time for a table. Best to have reservation. Food quality was disappointing. The beef brisket sandwiches came out less than optimal. The beef was stringy and tough.. I mostly pull and cut them up to eat. The matured cheddar could do a bit more. The hummus and chargrilled vegetable sandwich was dominated by the sweet onion chutney, which IMHO didn’t balance well in overall flavors.

Five of us went to Café Grande for an evening of wine tasting and five courses of seafood dishes. Here's a summary of the menu: Oysters, honey & shallot vinaigrette Lobster, cucumber and mango salad Crab, seaweed and watermelon Scallops, lime crust, curried cauliflower and cumin foam Monkfish in Parma ham, fondant potato & tenderstem broccoli. There was a different wine to accompany each course. The cost was £40 a head, which we thought was pretty good. I didn't have the oyster (never had one yet) and I soon learned to ask the waiters for just a small glass of each wine – I was amazed at some other customers' ability to consume alcohol. Obviously the courses were all small; the scallops were great, but I think my favourite was the last one, as the monkfish was perfectly cooked. That was my favourite wine too; a Provence rosé from Chateau L'Escarelle. They put these special evenings on pretty regularly, apparently.

First visit here this week , even though we have been coming to the area for a few years on holiday . Wonderful breakfast everything cooked perfectly , I am Gluten free and I was able to get a lovely breakfast , something that many places only pay a lip service to . We enjoy it so much we booked for next morning & also had a beautiful dinner night before . I understand some comments about them wanting your table to be vacated , but they are trying to make a living . We’ve all been through extremely tough times and small businesses need all the income coming in they can . But everyone entitled to their opinion . Staff extremely attentive . Reasonably priced . We have no complaints and will certainly be back .

Awesome! Really fresh food and excellent service from enthusiastic, smiling staff who couldn't do enough for you. It was expensive but, its Edinburgh and top notch food so you have to keep that in mind. Definitely worth doing if you want to treat yourself or the whole family. Atmosphere was lovely. Small menu but this means you are not taking an hour struggling what you're going to have. I recommend the fish in whatever way its served because its cooked to perfection, whether its served as fish and chips or poached on a bed of vegetables- very tasty. 20/10!!!!

Food is restaurant standard and seasonal, but with great regulars (fish n chips fab and try the triple meat burger-amazing). Def worth a visit.

Disappointing visit but sad to leave this review as I know times are tough. However, most of my feedback wouldn’t take money to fix just a bit of thought, care and attention. Service was slow, the space was cold (my friend kept her coat on) and the food was sparse and expensive for what it was but our biggest issue by far was being asked to vacate the table after only an hour. We had waited half an hour for our food to arrive, had already ordered repeat drinks and then just as we were about to order more coffee and keep chatting we were told they wanted the table back. This was despite the fact that the place was pretty empty and another party of two just arrived without a booking and was seated no problem. Just bizarre and made us feel that they were trying to extract the maximum amount of money from each table. Kind of fair enough but not after we’d spent nearly £40 on brunch for 2 and only been there for an hour. I won’t be back sadly. As I said, times are hard for cafes and restaurants but times are also tough for customers and I’d rather spend my money elsewhere.

Got here on a cold January morning after just having rolled out of bed after a night out. It was Sunday and close to noon, and I didn't have a reservation. The staff graciously offered me a table which wasn't booked till 45 min later, took my order and then came back to say they had another table which had just emptied and which I could have as long as I wanted. Had a most well prepared Eggs Royale before taking my coffee to sit at one of their outside tables. Sipping while watching the world go by. Staff came out to ask if I wanted a blanket as it was quite cold. It's thoughtfulness like this which makes me want to keep coming back to family run cafes like this one! Five stars for their food! And a round of applause for their service.

Popped in on Sunday evening after taking in a film at the Cameo. Had never been before but thought we'd give the restaurant a try as it looked welcoming and the menu was full of dishes we fancied. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food - robust flavours, unusual ingredients and large portions. Starters were prawn cocktail and scallops; mains were ballotine of chicken with pearl barley risotto and pork with black pudding and red cabbage. Shared a really nice sticky toffee pudding for desert. Price was £88 for all of the above plus two large glasses of Pinot Grigio and a double espresso. Pretty decent for Bruntsfield, I think, Service was friendly and attentive. We'll be back.

So very disappointed in my vegetarian meal. The peppers were raw, the couscous tasteless and the feta cheese missing. I wasn't asked if I enjoyed my meal but I suspect the waitress knew as most of the food was left on my plate. I just wondered if anyone had tasted the recipe prior to it being on the menu? I didn’t make a fuss as I was treating my friend to his birthday meal.

Disappointed with my birthday breakfast here. I went for the full Scottish, but without haggis or black pudding. No substitutions were offered but they were happy to offer extra bacon when asked. My meal arrived with two rashers...so is there usually one rasher? Or did they forget?? Also asked for crispy , but wasn't. The plate came minus the sausage which was brought out on request. So with one egg, one slice of potato scone, an egg, beans and HALF a tomato, not great for £20 (Inc toast and coffee). Partner said her french toast was lovely. Don't like to give a negative review to a long-standing local business, but hope it will be better next time?

We went as two couples recently and had breakfast which was ok. The service was friendly enough as well. There are quite a few cafes/restaurants similar to this in the same area.

High quality food. Independent. Dog friendly. On the upper end, price wise for informal dining. But willing to support independent establishment with generally very good quality.

This was a brunch date with a close friend. We were there at 11.30am and it was lovely and quiet. We had a good table near a window. The breakfast menu runs til noon. Friend had a vegetarian breakfast and they happily substituted her fried egg for poached and added extra Portobello mushrooms for the beans. I had Eggs Royal - delicious. Coffee was good as was the decaf breakfast tea. Staff were friendly and attentive. Good value Toilets airy and clean.

Nice vibe but I'd like a real cup when I have a coffee, not environmental friendly. I'd also like to use a toilet but the staff tell me the place is not a restaurant/cafe. You could have fooled me. The staff told me they don't have one and dont need one as they are predominantly carry-out. Surely an eating establishment should have a toilet? Apparantly not! Where do your staff go? Won't be back.

Sugerido a mi hermana y a mí por un pariente que visitó Edimburgo recientemente, fuimos a The Piemaker para algo rápido, un viernes por la noche. Gloria en el mostrador no solo era útil, sino que también estaba muy interesado en explicar recetas y sabores. Ella era habladora, tanto como nosotros, y nos dio información adicional sobre cosas que estaban pasando en el centro de la ciudad esa noche, música en vivo y así sucesivamente. Los pasteles eran bastante buenos y aquí es donde tuve mi primer pastel de haggis apropiado.

This was a wonderfull eating experience as the Magnum excelled with the food , the service , atmosphere and general ambience which were excellent. We had the corner table and were immediately struck by the professional and freindly service from all staff , the dining room is cosy and intimate and was full for the entire time we were there but the staff werent hurried and we recieved the food with plenty of time between courses so didnt feel rushed . The star of the show though is the food which was truly wonderfull , I had the cullen skink to start , the wagyu burger and then the sticky toffee pudding to finish , we then retired to the well stocked bar for a few cocktails and a blether with the locals and staff , an excellent place for a great meal away from the touristy masses , highly recommended.

Everything about the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, Queen Street, Edinburgh is excellent. There is a public bar on the ground floor but as members we used the Members Room on the first floor. The staff were excellent and really knew their stuff when it came to whisky. The food was also excellent, and the atmosphere was warm, inviting and friendly. Not too formal, the whole experience was exceptional.
