Cafe Marlayne in Edinburgh, City of

Amazing food. Lovely staff. Cosy environment. Perfect place to start the day with an excellent breakfast. Would go back any day. Wee bit of paradise

We went for the lunchtime set meal which seems to change regularly. 3-5 choices of starters/mains/desserts with a great range! There was at least 1 vegetarian option for each and they were wonderful with additional dietary requirements (I am gluten intolerant). The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The cafe was low key and cheerful with great service!

We’ve eaten here on many occasions, and have never been disappointed. Excellent food value and service. Recommend the steak- fantastic.

Our first meal out since lockdown started - it was just perfect, as it always is here. We went for the 2/3 course lunch - all completely delicious! Proper French cooking in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.Noticed they are now offering breakfast and unusual sounding sandwiches in addition to the usual menu. We will be back! Thanks so much.

Missed this place all through lockdown and last night we returned to have the most lovely birthday dinner! Thank you for managing to make us feel so safe and relaxed, while enjoying such a delicious meal. You are all amazing - well done for your superb effort! We'll be back very soon.

Due to Covid, this wonderful little restaurant has had to convert itself to a takeaway/cafe by day, but they still serve up high quality dishes in their reduced seating area. I believe they still provide a la carte menus in the evening. Bistro like food and excellent value for money.

We found this little gem when staying in Edinburgh for a few days. The beef baguettes were a marvellous concoction of ingredients put together with love. It is great value for money and the food was so delicious we went back the following day for exactly the same thing! We didn't try the meals or cakes (we were not in Edinburgh long enough), but they looked as good as the baguettes.

My wife and I spent two nights in Edinburgh 28th / 29th July for my Birthday. We had a great time considering approx 50% of places were still closed, on looking for a place for breakfast we chanced upon a fabulous Cafe/ Restaurant called Cafe Marlayne it was a very chic place, with an extensive menu and very reasonably priced, I had the Egg Royale my wife had the Eggs Benedict, both done to perfection by the eccelent French female Chef, we were served by front of house Ula a lovely friendly and very professional Lady, all safety measures are in practice, so you feel very safe at all times, for people staying at the Travelodge Queen St the Cafe is a 5 minute walk to Thistle St, I promise you it will be worth the visit, my Wife and I returned the next morning had we stayed longer we would have gone everyday! Look forward to going again on visiting Edinburgh again. We wish them the best of luck in these very difficult times.

We were a group of eight having a pre rugby lunch before the Scotland v France international so, what better place to enjoy but an old favourite French eatery. We were not disappointed and , from the friendly and attentive staff to the delicious lunch and good wines, we thoroughly experienced how the French must feel every time they eat out in France...... very authentic.The daub of beef was exceptional as was the Pastis and the rest of the meal. A must visit establishment to get a little taste of France!

I have visited this restaurant a couple of times in the last few months and found the food to be tasty and very good value for money. Would recommend for lunch

Disfrutamos del teatro, pubs y cenas / noches en Edimburgo. Tenemos varios lugares favoritos, pero también nos gusta rellenar y probar nuevos restaurantes. Esta fue una de esas ocasiones. Reservado una mesa para dos por teléfono, agradable y eficiente.El restaurante es bastante pequeño, tal vez 30 tapas. Ambiente íntimo con pisos de madera y muchas luces LED pequeñas alrededor, así como mosaicos de espejo. En realidad no es tan desagradable como parece, fue encantador.Una camarera en nuestra visita, muy eficiente pero amable con él.La comida tiene que ser el definidor principal para cualquier restaurante y en nuestra visita todo estaba delicioso. Los entrantes fueron un plato a base de higos y un budín negro con manteca de cerdo Puddledub. La descripción no describe los platos completamente, lo hace delicioso.Los platos principales eran pechuga de pato y costillas de cordero. Una vez más, el espacio impide una descripción completa, pero nuevamente se aplica delicioso.Los postres eran una crema de café con leche y pastel de queso de vainilla al horno seguido de expresos decentes.Una cosa intrigante fue la salida y el regreso ocasional de un miembro del personal de la cocina con una bandeja aparentemente en busca de cosas. . . No comida fresca. Me pregunto si su cámara frigorífica está fuera del restaurante, ya que es una propiedad antigua y pequeña. No veo nada negativo en ese comentario, simplemente mencionando.Por lo tanto, una velada encantadora, ideal para las personas a las que les gusta la buena comida, los precios no justificados y los turistas. Ahora está en nuestros días de teatro en destinos favoritos.

Pasamos un tiempo deambulando por las calles rodeadas de cadenas de restaurantes. Quería un lugar independiente. Di vueltas hasta que me topé con este lugar. Parecía lleno de pensionistas regulares que tal vez aprovechaban su menú fijo de almuerzo.Mi esposo eligió la sopa como entrante. La sopa estaba "muy rica en hongos", dijo. Yo diría que mi primer plato fue uno de los mejores. Esta fue una ensalada de higos calientes con ricotta, pistachos y brotes de guisantes. Era ligero y sabía cítrico. Estaba delicioso. Mi compañero eligió el plato de carne de cerdo. Dijo que el lomo de cerdo estaba tierno y que los puerros cremosos que parecían tener un toque de mostaza iban muy bien con la carne y las papas. Elegí el bistec porque el plato de pescado se había acabado. Me sentí aliviado al descubrir que la carne no era una cantidad abrumadora. Estaba delgado y bien preparado servido con mantequilla de ajo. No soy un fanático del ajo e inicialmente me pregunté después del primer bocado si esto sería abrumador, pero no lo fue. Se casó bien con el bistec. Esto fue servido con papas salteadas. La camarera y la cocinera no parecían muy felices cuando pedí un poco de vinagre balsámico. La camarera me preguntó para qué lo quería. "Para ponerme las papas", dije.Teníamos cafés para beber durante la comida. Los americanos eran fuertes pero de alta calidad.El ambiente era bueno, el lugar estaba lleno, pero la camarera era muy eficiente proporcionando un buen servicio. Solo desearía que ella sonriera, hablara más y aceptara mi pedido de vinagre sin una inquisición.¿Volvería de nuevo? Sí definitivamente. Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir un asiento durante lo que parecía ser una hora de almuerzo ocupada.

We were meeting friends and the venue had to be central Edinburgh near The Balmoral Hotel in Princes Street.It also had to be atmospheric, memorable, warm and suitable for a chat with no loud music.The food also had to be good and the price mid-range. Step forward Café Marlayne at 76 Thistle Street, Edinburgh (EH2 1EN).We’ve used it before. It is small and the restriction was sit down at 6.15pm and out at 8.15pm.That was acceptable. Service was slick, it had to be with the time restriction, and we skipped starters although the moules mariniere and rabbit terrine with gherkin, warm anchovie toast, carrot ketchup and wholegrain mustard were appealing.Four of our party plumped for 6oz, Aberdeen Angus ribeye with grilled portobello mushroom, garlic butter, walnut and watercress salad and horseradish cream.The rack of lamb with celeriac and parmesan puree looked appealing but the whole sea bass could not be overlooked.All mains here are served with potatoes and green beans, a good move, and the meal was appreciated by all. Portions would have been a tad bigger but the quality was there.Delicious sticky toffee pudding was a must to finish and so was the fruit frangipane tart. Great picks. Full of flavour.We were satisfied and had extra dwell time at the table as the party due cancelled.Their loss. Intimate restaurant this but well worth a visit.By the way, they only accept telephone bookings on 0131 226 2230

First time to cafe Marlayne and its a lovely little restaurant, everything was cooked very well and tasted delicious. Also the staff were lovely and gave a very good service. So all in all a very enjoyable evening

Visited this lovely little restaurant for lunch on a wet, cold Monday. It was busy & bustling with a lovely atmosphere, tasty 3 course great value lunch with perfect service. Would highly recommend dining here.... we will definitely return next time we’re visiting from Northumberland. Thank you!

Nos recomendó alguien de Edimburgo. Me alegro de haber hecho el esfuerzo de buscarlo. Pequeño y encantador lugar, gran ambiente y servicio. Lo más importante es que la comida era encantadora y fantástica relación calidad-precio.Definitivamente prueba este lugar, es una pequeña joya.

Really tasty meal with some great service. We went for the lunch time special, would definitely recommend.

A stunning evening from start to finish! We had an absolutely delightful server who looked after us with care and charm (Scottish lady.)We were given a taste of two white wines in order to choose one, even though our server thought we were only going to have a glass each. We chose a delicious bottle of Picpoul de Pinet which went fantastically with our fish supper. The Cullen skink was rich and tasty, our cod loin had the most amazing sauce made with Pernod and superb accompaniments. The baked cheesecake was literally 10/10. A marvellous evening, very good value, and all freshly cooked from local ingredients which our server was passionate about. We asked to tell the owner how amazing it all had been but unfortunately she was off duty!

Visited here on January 6th 2020 for evening meal. Came across it by chance. Food was very good as was the service and price. Definitely recommend it. Restaurant is small and has a lovely atmosphere. Also Queens Arms pub is just around the corner if you fancy another drink after your meal.

Small very pretty room. Warm and welcoming on a cold December night. Charming staff who were very professional made a very pleasant evening . Interesting menu of local produce - example a house made rabbit terrine, cured salmon, beautifully cooked rack of lamb, sea bream with seafood cream sauce. Sadly food was so generous no room for dessert.

Our family of 6 went here for our Christmas get together. We all loved the starters and mains, the mussels were fab. It’s small and cosy and serves perfect food. Will definitely return

Good bread, good wine and relaxed but attentive service is a great way to start a meal. The restaurant is small but felt spacious enough and not at all cramped. The salmon and mussels as starters were generous but not too much and both tasty. For mains the lamb was absolutely incredible, so well seasoned and strongly recommended. If you have room for dessert the creme brulee is a delight

Really enjoyed our anniversary meal at Cafe Marlayne, everything was spot on, food, wine, service, ambience, value for money and in the City Centre of Edinburgh. Great independent restaurant, will definitely be back!

We found this lovely restaurant in Thistle St, it was very busy, prettily decorated, very cosy. The waitress was excellent, very very busy but exceptional with her service. The food was great. Can’t fault this lovely place, great place to eat in Edinburgh.

This was the best food I've had in long time. Had Salmon to start followed by the steak, superb would highly recommend a visit.

Always a great meal. Always good food and atmosphere. Great to have a little gem like this in Edinburgh.

Enjoyed the atmosphere, friendly staff, food (fish wonderful). Will definitely be returning and recommending it to people in the Lake District

Maybe it's a bit small and dark restaurant, but the quality of food and the staff are really nice. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Very relaxed,cosy and charming French bistro in Edinburgh's New Town. Perfect for a mid-week romantic rendez-vous in a peaceful adult environment. Lovely menu to suit all tastes and very reasonably priced wine. Memorable bottle of Chardonnay for £20..also delicious crème brulée with preserved fruits. One of our faves in Ed at the moment!

Petite salle chaleureuse, service attentionné Les plats sont savoureux, saumon excellent, gnocchi végétarien à excellents Bravo

Delicious food inspired by French and Italian cuisine. Set lunch of 2 or 3 courses. Everything is freshly cooked, tasty and well presented. Very good value for money!

Lovely small restaurant in Thistle Street which I believe has been there for many years. When I say small it is very small but that is part of the charm. Fresh, local produce is served. We went for lunch and there is a very good set menu which offers you a nice choice and it changes on a regular basis. Good to know and off the beaten track and not a chain restaurant

It was our first night in Edinburgh. We arrived late afternoon and was not able to make reservations for our party of 8. After trying to get a table at the more popular restaurants on Thistle street, we were lucky to find separate tables in this charming cozy French restaurant. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We had the Caesar salad, mussels in white wine cream sauce, rack of lamb, and seabass. We could not help notice the singular lady serving all the tables who was really fast in attending to raised hands, serving the food and welcoming new guests. Her smile never faded. She was like Wonder Woman! I failed to get her name but a big thank you for a wonderful welcome in your beautiful city! Highly recommend!

We were there on a busy night. (It looks like this restaurant is always busy!) The energetic and pleasant staff kept everything moving along at a good pace while serving excellent food from a short list of interesting sounding dishes. Though the small room was crowded, the noise level was pleasant, not overwhelming. Everyone seemed to be having an excellent meal. We certainly did.

We love Cafe Marlayne, the food is excellent every time and the service is great. We look forward to our next visit.

Cozy little French bistro tucked into a side street near Queen street Gardens. Note a huge menu but everything is perfectly prepared. I had a steak, my wife had sea bream. Small but excellent wine selection. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Second visit for a catch up lunch with an old friend. Lovely food and wine, nice people and a good buzz of conversation - perfect! £12.95 lunch for 2 courses very good value. Many thanks - you are doing a great job! Will definitely return.

This is the second time I visit the place, lovely food, lovely service, the food is fresh and tastes great. I could not recommended more. I went for lunch this time but I have been there for dinner also, and in my next visit to Edinburgh I will visit again.

Increíble relación calidad-precio menú del almuerzo. Difícilmente podríamos elegir qué comer, ya que hubiéramos comido felizmente CUALQUIERA de los deliciosos platos que se ofrecen, no es frecuente que sea el caso en estos días. Ensalada tibia de espárragos y queso de cabra seguido de filete de mantequilla con ajo. . ¡Yum Yum Yum! Personal amable y eficiente, ambiente acogedor, probablemente no apto para grupos muy grandes, ya que el espacio es limitado. Absolutamente perfecto para ponerse al día con la familia o amigos.

Tuvimos que reservar el día anterior para conseguir una mesa en este pequeño restaurante de inspiración francesa. Cerca del centro de la ciudad, cerca de la calle Frederick.

Lunch with friends in this tight bistro. Small, dark but friendly atmosphere. Slightly cramped. Staff were low key (a positive) and attentive. Food was good at bistro portion sizes. Wine overpriced. Place could use a more regular and thorough cleaning regime.

Primera visita a este restaurante francés durante el Festival de Edimburgo. Muy centrico. No había reservado, pero la directora se las arregló para meternos, no era un gran menú y platos típicamente franceses, pero no obstante había suficientes opciones. La comida era deliciosa al igual que nuestro vino. Pan y agua colocados en la mesa, que siempre es un buen toque.

The two or three course menu represented good food at a decent price. Efficient and friendly service. Sunday was busy but we booked in advance. Beer available in bottles.

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, great members in the team! I loved, I’ll be there certainly! Highly recommended it!

We have been here most years during the Festival, and were looking forward to a return visit for dinner. Unfortunately the restaurant was very full, and the two servers were unable to cope so service was extremely slow. The food itself was uninspiring this time, and did not looker taste particularly appetising. We shall have to think long and hard before returning - such a pity.

Attentive service, great attention to gluten free requests. Delicious food, busy wee place and fully booked over lunch which is a good sign glad I’d booked by phone in advance.

A spontaneous lunch and were lucky to get a table. We arrived at 12.30 and the small restaurant filled up very quickly to capacity creating a real buzz. I loved the atmosphere. The staff were excellent- very attentive and our order was taken promptly. We didn’t have to wait long for our food. The lunch menu was very reasonable £12.95 for two courses. The food was well cooked and beautifully presented - delicious. Highly recommended and we will be back. Advise booking to ensure a table.

Came here three times during a week’s visit to the festival and tried several dishes - all delicious, delicate flavours, very friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, in this cosy modern bistro. Just enough variety on the menu for several visits and all tastes, yet not too many to overwhelm the kitchen or mean that any are shortcut - the preparation seems perfect.

Called in after performing with our Rock Choir at ‘The Fringe’. Food , wine and service was excellent along with the cosy atmosphere .The chef was happy to share her recipe for whipped Avocado and joined us along with the rest of the staff when we gave an impromptu performance . Perfect end to a great evening .Thank you Café Marlayne. We’ll

No soy una chef pero me gusta comer bien, combinaciones salado /dulce y lo mas saludable posible. Yo comi de entrada venado (venison) con queso azul pensarán que el queso azul es muy fuerte pero la combinación y una salsa medio dulce fue increíble la verdad me gusto mucho ademas tenia mucha hambre, y mi esposo comio de entrada mejillones y sabian muy rico también estaban en el punto perfecto estaban frescos; de principal yo comi pato que aunque me gusta el dulce/salado esta vez estaba muy dulce pero comible, asi que estaba normal y él comio carne ese plato también estaba divinoo, muy al punto la carne suave en una salsa negra perfectamente cocinado y unos vegetales, pedi un vino y el un postre y todo salio en 58£ para la calidad de la comida, la buena atención el clima romántico y relajado, me pareció que muy bien en comparación que en Irlanda todo es mas caro y de menor calidad. 100% recomendado!

Ce petit restaurant de charme coche, et c'est assez rare pour le souligner, toutes les cases : service souriant et sympa, carte des vins accessible, déco chatoyante et surtout une cuisine intemporelle et délicieuse. Il faut relever la cuisson parfaite de l'agneau, la sauce au vin succulente, le joli dressage des plats. C'est du classique français parfaitement exécuté, comme nous aimerions en trouver plus souvent en France... Un petit bémol toutefois : la qualité de la baguette servie (décongelée) n'est pas à la hauteur du reste... L'adresse n'en n'est pas moins très recommandée !

Had lunch in this superb restaurant yesterday. We were greeted with a smile and warm welcome and given the most wonderful but unobtrusive service. We had the 3 course menu at £15.90 and had difficulty choosing as it all looked fabulous. We also had a vegetarian in our party and she too was well catered for with a wonderful asparagus dish to start, so fresh and tasty and a superb vegetarian main course . I chose steak for main which was so full of flavour and the panacotta with candied nuts and boozy fruit for dessert ....amazing . I can’t praise the chef highly enough as the quality of the food is outstanding If you are in Edinburgh make this a must visit destination.

Lovely venison appetizer, followed by superb duck. Deep, unadorned, to-the-bone flavors. Hard to imagine this place ever going wrong given its formula: fine ingredients, simple execution, sturdy results.

Menus intéressants, cuisine maison (mais quelle idée de paner une escalope de saumon !!!), carte des vins assez originale axée sur des petits crus, accueil charmant.

I have visited Cafe Marlayne many times on visits to Edinburgh for 20 years, and I can safely say we have never been disappointed.

De férias em Edimburgo, depois de um dia de grande passeio e muito cansativo, recuperamos forças com uma agradável refeição de toque francês.

I’m not sure how I’ve never heard of this place in all my time in Edinburgh before. In short, I was blown away. The food was fantastic. Duck cooked to perfection and OMG that chocolate torte! YUUUM! Price vs quality was unbelievable. If I could rate it higher than 5, I would!

Regular visitor to this establishment and never disappoints.

We stumbled on this little cafe on a Sunday night, looking for an intimate place to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant was nearly full but a table was found.

Tables are close together so the seating is cosy or intimate just as you'd expect in a French Cafe.The staff were attentive and helpful and the kitchen produced great food. It was all simply presented but with interesting sauces and accompaniments.The duck with borlotti beans, Cavolo Nero and cherry beer sauce was delicious; the cod fillet with avocado, apple, celery and sultana salad with sourdough crumb was beautiful as was Le Steak which was perfectly cooked. The croquettes de poisson or Thai fish cakes were very moist, almost sloppy, which for me detracted from the dish but others enjoyed it. Prices were £4.50-£7.50 for starters and £8.90-£17.80 for mains which was very reasonable. Thanks for a great evening, we will be back!

På favoritgatan Thistle Street hittade vi denna underbara restaurang med fransk meny. Liten med mysig inredning, trevlig och otroligt effektiv personal. Maten var fantastisk! Eftersom jag bor i Frankrike sedan sex år har jag möjlighet att jämföra and the winner is... café Marlayne.

Visited for lunch with a group of friends, lovely little menu, with 3 courses for £15.90. We had various dishes, highlights were definitely the Caesar salad starter & the pannacotta dessert. Service was good, atmosphere is cosy but bustling too, would recommend.

What a lovely little restaurant! Food was excellent. Service was quick and friendly. A real gem. Steak was well cooked and great quality. Cheese cake to die for. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Hatten 2 verschiedene Vorspeisen & Hauptgerichte sowie ein Nachtisch. Alles sehr lecker. Tab water war selbstverständlich. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Absolut empfehlenswert.

This is my favourite restaurant for lunch or dinner. It is small and intimate yet bustling and full of life. That usually every seat is taken speaks for itself. The food is absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. The menu always has at least two two meat dishes, fish and vegetarian and can cater at the drop of a hat for vegan and gluten free as I found out recently when with a large party. The staff are superb and very knowledgeable about the menu and wines. They could not be more welcoming and the service is perfectly pitched. The ambience is brilliant. A little bit of France in the heart of Edinburgh. Amazing.

Siamo capitati per caso in questo bistrot e siamo entrati attirati dell'atmosfera intima del locale e dal menù. È stato tutto perfetto. Zuppa di cavolo buonissima, salmone affumicato di ottima qualità come antipasti. La spigola era cotta perfettamente, ma il baccalà era qualcosa di unico! Difficile cucinarlo e lasciarlo morbido. E per concludere in bellezza una creme brulee al caffè da leccarsi i baffi. Per 3 antipasti, 3 main, un dolce e una bottiglia di vino bianco abbiamo speso 86 sterline ! Direi ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Fatevi assolutamente un salto per cena!

Tucked away on Thistle Street, Cafe Marlayne is a small restaurant that serves good food and good wine. If you’re in a rush this might not be the place for you; this is a restaurant that allows you to enjoy your food and relax.

A lovely, cosy restaurant. It is small so tables can be a bit crammed but it’s charming all the same. Fresh and delicious seafood (I had squid followed by cod) with nice wine and authentic service. Will be back.

Three of us went for lunch. The menu was great and the food well presented and good to eat. Unlike previous visits,the service was poor. For our main course,mine arrived well before everybody else's. The waitress did not watch to see if the customers wanted anything and was immersed in chats with other staff st the bar. Getting coffee then the Bill was difficult to say the least. We have never had this here before.

Seriously love this wee place. Fabulous food great service and brilliant price. Slightly different decor since last visit and it's made it feel even nicer! Cauliflower soup and beef to die for! Keep up the great work 😁

I went here recently for a family birthday lunch. The £15.90 three course lunch menu was varied and interesting, with the dishes beautifully presented. Between us we had beetroot carpaccio, soup, and Salad Lyonnaise starters, with chicken supreme & chorizo / chickpeas and fish mains, with chocolate & almond torte, and frangipane tart to follow. My only criticisms would be that it's an incredibly small space, so not really suitable for parties of more than four in my opinion. Also, I felt that the wine list wasn't the best value for a restaurant which does a really good value food menu. Minor gripes to be fair, as it was a really nice place to visit, and I would happily recommend it.

This absolute gem of a restaurant was recommended to us, so a lunchtime visit was organised. We were lucky to arrive early which meant there was a chance of an available table, this is such a popular venue customers flooded in to sit at prebooked tables.

This place was our plan b but turned out to be a great choice. We both had Le canard and loved it. Desserts were good too and the staff was friendly.

Mis dos amigos y yo llegamos al restaurante para una cena - primera impresión, encantadora. Mesas lindas pero cercanas y luces de colores que lo hicieron sentir bienvenido. Los camareros eran agradables, pero no parecían tener sus ojos en el piso y en un momento dado, mi amigo tuvo que caminar hasta el mostrador para preguntar si podíamos hacer nuestro pedido. La comida era buena, pero mi pato estaba recocido y tuve que enviarlo de vuelta, así que, como de costumbre, mis amigos habían terminado de comer antes de que volviera mi plato. En general, aunque un restaurante encantador en la ciudad. El servicio podría ser mejorado.

¡No debe importarle estar un poco apretado y no debe dejar que su esposo se dé cuenta de que está más interesado en la conversación de la siguiente mesa que en la suya! ! El ambiente es animado y la comida está recién preparada con sabores excelentes. Es imprescindible reservar, aunque el amable personal hará todo lo posible para que se adapte a usted.

Visitamos aquí para un almuerzo tarde el sábado. El personal nos recibió con una sonrisa, aunque no había duda de que había sido un servicio muy ocupado. La comida era deliciosa y una buena selección de carnes, pescados y opciones vegetarianas. El restaurante es pequeño, por lo que se recomienda hacer reservaciones, especialmente los fines de semana. Amable y con buena relación calidad-precio. Continúe con el buen trabajo y esperamos nuestra próxima visita.

Encontramos este lugar mientras buscábamos un café para almorzar, es muy lindo por dentro, probablemente alrededor de 30 cubiertas llenas, hay luces de hadas muy bonitas alrededor. Era bastante pequeño con solo una camarera, pero definitivamente no sentías que te estabas perdiendo algo, no estoy seguro de que pueda caber en otro servidor de todos modos. La comida fue absolutamente deliciosa, comencé con el carpaccio de remolacha, que fue increíble: uno de los mejores entrantes que he tenido, luego comí pollo con chorizo, pimientos y garbanzos, de nuevo fue totalmente delicioso. Sin duda volveremos y lo recomendaría a cualquiera que esté buscando comida increíble, una buena selección de vinos y un ambiente relajante.

N'hésitez pas a rentrer dans ce petit café charmant. Rapport qualité prix impeccable ! On reviendra :)

Very nice small French restaurant in the centre of Edinburgh. Good choice of food on the menu, not too many dishes. All freshly prepared and well presented. Very reasonable prices too! Would highly recommend!

Great restaurant we found accidentally but gratefully. The service is welcoming from the begining and service good throughout. The starters were delicious and fresh. Fish cakes really tasty and not padded out with potatoes. The salmon was beautifully cooked. Reasonable choice of wines and beers.

Nous entrons dans ce joli restaurant bien décoré mais surtout super illuminé. C’est ensuite au tour de nos papilles de s’illuminer devant tant de saveurs exquises. Bravo pour l’accueil aussi qui ne démérite pas. Courez-y

Came across this little gem of a restaurant by poor chance. Such a warm welcome on a cold January evening. Our steaks were cooked to absolute perfection & yes they certainly know how to make an Irish coffee. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Volevamo cenare leggero ma caratteristico. Il posto ha risposto subito alle nostre esigenze. Ambiente accogliente e discreto. Cibi presentati in modo elegante e molto curati. Volevo mangiare salmone affumicato e mi sono trovata di fronte ad una apoteosi di bontà. Il contorno di verdure piacevole.

Es gibt sehr viele Restaurants in Edinburgh, so dass man sich die Zeit nehmen sollte, die Bewertungen auf tripadvisor aufmerksam zu lesen, wobei die Rangliste für mich weniger nachvollziehbar ist, als der Inhalt der unterschiedlichen Bewertungen.

Had a wonderful dining in this very cosy and intimate Bistro. The food was outstanding and the lady who served us was attentive but not intrusive. The whole meal was delicious and the steak was one of the nicest Ive had in a long long time - beautifully cooked. The steak was the star of the plate and had some garlic butter at the side which allowed true flavour of the Aberdeen Angus steak to come through. The fruit frangipane tart was so so light - truly scrumptious. Well worth a visit.

Bel ristorantino, romantico, pochi tavoli a pochi passi da Princess Street. Salmone, anatra, torta al cioccolato. Buona selezione di vini e whisky. Qualità prezzo ottima. Da consigliare

Unexpected gem in a busy city, no reservation but welcomed us in just before opening. Genuinely the most amazingly tasty food I’ve ever had. The wine list is small but perfectly formed like the restaurant. Would highly recommended & will call in again for out next visit. Highly attentive & friendly staff 10/10!

Had my best EVER meal here: onion/sherry soup to start, an unbelievably brilliant lamb steak for my main, cooked to absolute perfection, and a blueberry tart accompanied by a brilliantly priced french white wine ... really inexpensive, truly amazing. If this isn’t the best restaurant in Edinburgh then I don’t know what is. Everyone there should be very very proud of themselves.

My husband & I booked ahead & went for the 3 course lunch menu. Everything was delicious & the service was spot on. We will definitely go back! Thanks for a lovely meal! 🌻

Food good here and got the last table in this small restaurant . Thai fish cakes were superb as was the lamb and steak . Little gem

We had a wonderful night at this bistro. It is slightly compact and we were away from the door thankfully on such a cold night.

Visited on a cold and rainy Tuesday evening for a family dinner. The menu was quite nice - however I would suggest it wouldn’t be a great place for a vegetarian to visit as there was only one vegetarian starter and one vegetarian main (however the menu was small so to this be expected). I really enjoyed my starter and main - salmon with goats cheese and beetroot for my starter and duck breast with kale and beans for my main. The service and ambience were excellent.

What a great find. Happened to be walking past and were lucky enough to get a table. Great menu, four of us all had different choices and each of us thought our food was amazing. Absolutely delicious and friendly warm service too. Will definitely return.

Food as flavoursome as ever. Portions a little on the small side - ok for me, however, if I had visited with my husband, he would have still been hungry. Not the best table either - very near the bar/kitchen and a bit cramped.

We had the mussels, fishcakes and prawns as starter and they were fantastic, as a main my boyfriend ordered the rack of lamb and he loved it and I got the duck. I cannot recommend it enough, it's the best main I've ever tasted.

My wife and I are local however this isn't somewhere we would frequent. Not sure why not. We popped in on Friday on the off chance there might be a free table. There was and we embarked on a lovely gastro experience; superb food a lovely wine and fantastic service. We will be back.....soon!

On our recent trip to Edinburgh we visited Cafe Marlayne in the evening, food was lovely and staff very attentive we enjoyed it so much we visited the next lunchtime. Lunch was excellent value and quality was still amazing. Will visit again.

We had intended to go to another place nearby but found it had closed down, so we wandered around. It was about 2.15 by the time we found this wee gem, and although we saw the chef carrying soup to the fridges they never batted an eyelid and showed us to a table. The food was lovely, well-priced, clearly all hand-made, and the wine list was good too. We definitely intend to go back - and earlier - and hope we aren't the only people there feeling a bit high and dry!

たまたまお店の前を通り掛かり、Trip Advisorの評点が高いことが分かり後日予約して食事しました。なかなか予約の取れない人気店で、独特な料理は非常に美味しいです。

After a long day’s sightseeing around Edinburgh, we were tired and hungry and, thanks to Tripadviser, found we were close to Cafe Marlayne which had excellent reviews and were lucky enough to get a table. I’m normally suspicious of places styled as ‘French Restaurants ‘. It can mean expensive and pretentious. This was definitely not the case at Cafe Marlayne.
