Canalside Cafe Bar in Edinburgh, City of

Good, reasonably priced café, ideal after a walk up the nearby Craiglockhart Hils

Excellent venue to meet friends/ watch rugby or football

Mr name is Brian Tinwhistler Pether and my girlfriend Pauline like to go In the Canal side Cafe and have a snack after I have had my toenails has been cut by Mathew bell the next step podiary in the Boroughmuir Rugby and sports and social club.

Great place to watch the rugby and have a drink with friends!!! Super friendly people and staff

Great coffee and bacon roll. Service top notch

Busy Saturday Morning gave the place a real Buzz. Enjoyed my black coffee

Great place to take the kids for an after school hot chocolate

Not bad in an emergency. Coffee price reasonable.

Nice, relaxing environment and staff are pleasant. The panini are good but I went there two days in a row and they had none. Fortunately I like the toasties too. Soup could be better.

nice ambience, good coffee and service, good atmosphere for a little laptop work or reading, good company.

A really nice place for a casual lunch or coffee. Only minor complaint is that the coffee machine takes so long to make one coffee that you end up in a queue.

Nice polite staff, good prices, but could maybe do with longer opening hours in the evening in summer time.

Nice space and friendly staff but always disappointed when I buy soup and it's from a tin. One of the easiest things to make for a cafe!

It's a good place to meet up with a group of walkers. On the day, it was subject to a fridge failure and sub optimal coffee flavour but still good.

Relaxing ambiance with attentive staff

Great venue. Rooms upstairs are ideal events space. Family friendly and accessible.

Pleasant coffee break! Bar/lounge was comfy, staff were friendly and accommodating. Great dog friendly space to have a drink.

Delicious coffee and great banter.

Superb Saturday morning coffee + bacon rolls, sat on the sunny terrace… perfect

Coffee and croissant on the sunny terrace overlooking the stadium pitch was just fab.

Really poor experience today. Tried to order food this morning as we have done many times. Was told the kitchen was being ‘Used today’ but we could get toasties . Ordered two. After half an hour the first toastie appeared. 15 minutes later the second one limped out. Just one very young lass on so I didn’t have the heart to blame it on her. Canalside you’re either a cafe on you’re not. Train your staff in the art of communication too. Have a great day.

Christmas lunch for group of 20 on five tables of four so safe distancing. Food from McKenzies Catering very good and reasonably priced.

2019 had a couple of sausage rolls and a coffee on my way into Edinburgh on a long walk north. Got some phone charge and some calories and a good rest on the way into the city.

Excellent venue for hiring out for an occasion. I've been several time for charity events and it has a great bar and staff who make it very welcoming. They have a little kitchen at the end of the room which good for providing food. Only downside was the toilets which could do with some maintainence, they are looking rather run down at the moment. Overall, would really recommend this as a facility if you are looking for somewhere decent to hire for a medium sized private function.

Great coffee and even better cheese and ham toastie, I will defo return.

Nice place, friendly staff. Spoilt by the overflowing rubbish bins outside with food waste scattered around the area.

Nice simple bar. No music and real ales. Local bar

Very accommodating, reasonably price will vote again

Great place to meet especially locally. Great views and coffee take your recycling cup as well.

Pretty characterless, but a relaxing place to unwind after a workout or before/after sport.
