Edinburgh Larder Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

Great Full Scottish Breakfast! Iced coffee was a little pricey but knowing that these guys try to source everything locally made it all worth it! Best black pudding ever!!

Went here on the advice of a bike tour guide, enjoyed a delicious Scottish lunch after the bike tour. Great!!

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The staff was really nice, thank you. :)

Wonderful full Scottish Breakfast and Eggs Benedict. They separated out the gluten items for me and even brought us free sodas for the kids. Amazing service and delicious food!

Outstanding breakfast —only my mum could surpass this quality! 🏆 Seriously, possibly the best breakfast out I’ve ever had. Veggie alternatives to the Scottish classics (wow! Delicious), home-made baked beans, flavoursome tomatoes, perfect egg, yummy spinach, zingy pea shoots, earthy mushrooms, and home-made gluten-free bread. As a person who can’t digest wheat well, I’m used to settling for ultra-processed cardboard and being grateful for it, because there often isn’t an option at all… so to have something made in-house, which was absolutely delicious, and with a nice texture, was a total revelation. Just cannot say enough how good this food is… and how refreshing. Home-cooked healthy food with good quality ingredients is precious. Amazing service too. So good I will plan my next Edinburgh visit around this place… 😁

Absolute gem! My wife and I had the Full Scottish breakfast, it was our favourite meal in Edinburgh! The servers were friendly and atmosphere was pleasant! Definitely a must try if you’re in Edinburgh!

We were here on a public holiday. The place was full and the service was a little slow, but still precise and effective. Excellent food

Excellent breakfast here this morning. Full Scottish breakfast for myself and the missus had eggs Benedict. Both were delicious. Staff was lovely. Thank you all

Good spot for the breakfast. Very delicious and fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the Hash. Coffee was also very tasty. There was a line while we were there but waited around 15 minutes. If you are in a rush I think you can skip this place since we waited too long for the food also which I think is normal since it was too busy.

Awesome service, food was fantastic

So good! Best eggs Benedict I've ever had!!

A very good experience! On the menu, two Scottish breakfasts, accompanied by teas. It was excellent, each preparation on the plate tasted amazing and different. I recommend making a reservation, there are often queues, but nothing insurmountable (and it's worth the wait). It's not cheap but it's normal given what we find on the plate, so treat yourself!

Went here because of its good reputation on Reddit. The hype is well deserved. Had the full scottish, which was simply amazing and the service was so nice

It was a great place for a hearty breakfast. We stopped by spontaneously and were lucky to get a table. Everyone was so welcoming! It was great. The food tasted very good. We would come back at any time. ✨

I got the Full Scottish here and it was absolutely delicious! Friendly wait staff and chill vibe. Highly recommended!

For £25 a full English /Scottish breakfast and a coffee it was a little disappointing, the food was cooked well and the chefs are obviously experienced but I paid for a “ full Scottish breakfast “ so was surprised beyond logic to find a Lincolnshire (in England ) on my “Scottish” breakfast … I mean where was the lorne (Scottish sausage) this is in Edinburgh “Edinburgh Larder , a taste of the country”seems a little misleading if I’m honest keeping in mind the amount of tourism that comes through your doors, we are sending these guys home with a false representation of Scotland….. I mean how long has Eggs Benedict been traditionally Scottish ?? And the baked beans 🫣 where do I start !! That last thing I needed at 730 am was a huge hit of garlic !! Why are we trying to fix something that isn’t broken !! Companies like Hienze have spent billions making baker beans - baked beans !! You don’t need to try and mimic them plus you didn’t do a very good job. Just use proper beans 🤷‍♂️ and use a Scottish sausage and you’ll be winning this isn’t rocket science here Chefs. Plus when I asked the waitress “ if I could just pay the bill and not the service charge I was charged the service charge anyway. I was encouraged to Walk past the “Edinburgh cafe “ just up the road to see Lorne on there breakfast .. I will definitely go there next time.

Amazing service, very kind staff and lovely atmosphere. I had eggs benedict and apple juice and my mum had a roast chicken sandwich and tea. The portions were very generous and everything was absolutely delicious, I will definitely come back again soon!

We loved this place so much, we ate here 5 out of the 7 days we were here! Friendly staff and amazing food! Book a time or chance a wait...but the wait is worth it!!!

Amazing food. Everything was fresh and tasty, even though the place is small and we had to wait a bit to get a table, the food was totally worth it. Will come back again.

Delicious breakfast- we came here straight from the plane and somewhat frozen and exhausted. The chai latte was delicious and the food was SO good. Strongly recommend reservations!

The google reviews are all accurate! Brunch was super hit. Be prepared to wait in line. Our wait time was about 30 minutes. They don’t take resis! Pro-tip: if you go after 12pm the lines are tiny (at least on the Sunday we were there). The menu is more or less the same with the exception of 1-2 items. We ordered the following items: 1. Full Scottish ✅ 2. Veggie✅ 3. Eggs Benedict ✅ 4. Chicken sandwich✅ 5. Macchiato ✅ 6. Banana bread✅ All the fixings are great! Didi is an amazing hostess !

Had a lovely breakfast here. Staff were friendly and attentive. Very busy so I recommend you book.

Amazing food, you can really taste the freshness of every ingredient and very friendly staff. On the weekend it is extremely busy and you have to book a table well in advance, but it’s worth it!

Visited on my trip to Scotland last week. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the vegan traditional Scottish breakfast and loved everything on my plate. The servers were incredibly friendly and fun as well!

Incredible, one of the best meals on my trip. So good, we went twice for breakfast in three days. Comfortable, friendly service, food was fantastic. Make a reservation well in advance. Had the Kilted Eggs - the black pudding and haggis were both perfect.

On top of absolutely delicious food (the bread here is to die for), the staff were absolutely lovely. We had a very hungry 5 year old with us and they quickly brought us some toast (on the house!) and a pencil and paper to keep her busy. They were so kind our whole visit, and it was some of the best mushrooms on toast I've ever had!

Fabulous home made baked beans and best poached egg ever

Everything was great from start to finish, lovely staff and perfect service. We weren’t waiting long either for a table, and were served quickly. Great menu and options, and the food and coffee was lovely. The only one thing we didn’t appreciate, is the metal tins. Giving how much we’re paying for and a service fee, it would have been nice to be served on an actual plate. Nonetheless it was worth a visit!

Quality food, generous portions, excellent and genuine gluten-free option but also the rest of the food. Very welcoming, smiling and friendly staff. Stylish location, very nice furnishings, very open kitchen too. Super recommended!

Everything was delicious and the staff were all warm and friendly! The smiley face on my matcha latte with coconut milk made my day 😊

Food was excellent. Had the eggs Royale and a green tea latte. It's a nice cozy space, but a little snug for families with small children

Best eggs Benedict so far in ediburough!

The perfect place for breakfast, I had porridge with peanuts and jam it was so delicious that I had to visit the place again for another trial which didn’t disappoint, the staff are friendly and welcoming, if your a bit confused about the order just ask the staff and they would be happy to assist you with your food choice, definitely recommend them.

The best breakfast I've had in Edinburgh. It is undoubtedly a highly recommended place to try a typical Scottish breakfast. The food is exquisite and with quality ingredients. The price is a little expensive, but like most places in Edinburgh, and in this case I think it is totally worth it. I will return another time.

Very friendly and accommodating. Excellent food and service was great as well. Had the traditional Scottish breakfast.

We were greated as we walked in the door and got the last seat! The line after wrapped down the building to get it, and this was at about 9am on a weekday. Friendly, attentive staff, I ordered the eggs benedict which was amazing and my husband ordered the full scottish which was also superb!! The mocha was also delicious. We hope to stop by again before our trip is over because it was THAT good! Definitely recommend.

Excellent and refined cuisine. Waiters attentive and very smiling. A nice place for brunch.

It has been nearly two weeks since I ate here and I still dream of that breakfast every day. I had a full breakfast, and every aspect of it was absolutely fantastic. Tattie scone was the best I had (and I had many!). The Haggis and beans were really nicely done and elevated above the usual breakfast fare. The porridge with rhubarb was unlike any I have ever had. The space was also a wonderfully decorated. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Food was good. But the door was open all the time for „circulation“ and it was freezing cold inside.

Disappointing Experience at Edinburgh Larder Cafe Stopped by during heavy rain, expecting a cozy café experience, but from the start, the staff was unwelcoming and forceful. Ordered two coffees and a dessert, only to be told we must order mains or give up the table—no courtesy, just pressure. On top of that, they kept pushing for tips and rushing customers out. For a highly rated café, this was a huge letdown. Feels like they prioritize squeezing money over genuine hospitality. Wouldn’t recommend.

Wonderful food, great staff, only thing is tables too close to other people, felt uncomfortable, but quite small, not sure how they could overcome this.

There’s a reason there were queues to get in. Great food and excellent service! Made a Great effort with my son. Will be back before we head back home!

Breakfast alternatives were good, and the plates we chose were also delicious. Overall we were satisfied.

When I arrived at shortly last 8,it was still empty, but that changed within 5 minutes. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The food was also very good - I can definitely recommend the porridge and the chai latte. If you are looking for a cozy breakfast place, you should check it out.

Perfect spot to refuel after landing in Edinburgh! Food was very good and service was attentive. Highly recommend!

GREAT PLACE! Vasilis was incredibly welcoming and friendly towards me and my partner. The food was phenomenal and we got some great recommendations

truly excellent food each time i’ve been here! bit pricey but really quality ingredients prepared with care, and nice servers. i recommend booking, but often you can walk-in with just a short wait, especially cause they have community tables. just be warned they don’t accept cash

A such amazing place, with such amazing people! We found it a bit randomly, but it was such a great discovery. The Full Scottish breakfast with a Waffle (to share at 2) is a must ! Thanks you guys, we were very welcomed 😍

Excellent option for breakfast, either with a reservation, or arriving very early. I made a reservation the day before for 7:30 and they still accepted it. They ask for a £5 deposit to secure your booking, which is then deducted from your account. The food is very delicious, very well prepared and seasoned. Friendly, fast and respectful service despite being so popular. I highly recommend it. You have to try it. I recommend the Scottish Breakfast and Eggs Benedict.

Horrible service. We walked in and sat down at a table we favoured as it looked comfortable it wasn't clean yet hut we didn't mind as the chairs looked comfortable. As we sat a lady came over and said with a very forced smile and an unpleasant tone “can you not sit at a dirty table please we need to clean it” then darting away as soon as she said it. We are very patient and would have waited as we preferred the table. So we rose and waited and were approached by a gentleman who asked if we had made a reservation we said we haven’t he then turned away and we were put off by the vibe we were given. Very unwelcoming i refuse to give my money to a place who treats me like a problem.

The breakfast was really very good!

Definitely go for a nice Scottish breakfast

Fantastic cafe! Lovely atmosphere - really tasty eggs Benedict and friendly staff :)

The service was fast and the server very friendly. The main dishes were nothing extraordinary, a quite big serving for the Scottish breakfast but the smoked salmon and hash potatoes was almost only made up by potatoes and it was reheated. The dessert - a chocolate brownie- was excellent!

In the heart of the city, you will find this haven for gourmands. The best breakfast in Edinburgh, without a doubt. Excellent staff attention, nothing to add. Rest with few tables to give the best service to its customers. We went for the Scottish Breakfast. A real pleasure. Everything prepared at the moment. It is a MUST if you visit Edinburgh. Reservations are essential!!! Very difficult to get a table without prior reservation. I didn't take photos because I dedicated myself to enjoying the food, the atmosphere and the family moment. To repeat as many times as you can.

Absolutely worth the hype. Food was so good!

Breakfast both Scotch and eggs Benedict for 10.

Great breakfast menu, warming staff and living up to the expectations!

What a great, cozy (and delicious) place. Be sure to show up early to this scottish place for a tasty breakfast. Everything is locally sourced and handmade. Plates are served on a metal box which makes it funny but flavour is great.

Nous sommes allés au « Little Edimbourg Larder » juste à côté car le restaurant « principal » était complet. Les serveurs étaient super sympas! Ils nous ont même donné les restes des pâtisseries restantes car nous étions les derniers clients de la journée (nous sommes arrivés aux alentours de 14h15 pour déjeuner) Nous avons pris la soupe du jour + un sandwich, nous n’avons pas été déçus et les quantités sont suffisantes. Je recommande!

I came across The Edinburgh Larder while searching for a breakfast spot, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! We made a booking in advance, and I’m so glad we did because it gets busy, with people constantly coming in hoping for a seat. Thankfully, they also have another location just two doors down called The Little Larder for walk-ins, so even if you don’t have a reservation, you can still enjoy their food. However, I’d still recommend booking ahead, as we saw a queue forming at The Little Larder when we left! This really speaks to the popularity of the place. I had the Full Scottish breakfast, and my wife had the waffles, both were delicious. Highly recommend!

Very well served. Very tasty food.

I had the full Scottish breakfast. The haggis went very well with the bread. And we loved the porridge! So surprisingly good. Definitely try if you drop by Edinburgh!

Enjoyed the Full Scottish breakfast! Staff were very friendly. There's a wide variety off food to choose from. They also go a good matcha latte!

Good food but overpriced plus an annoying 12.5% service charge was added to the bill without first asking. Sadly despite the quality of the food it is hard to recommend as a relaxing and enjoyable option amongst the many in Edinburgh.

Great ethos behind this fab place with the most delicious food and coffee. Loved it!

Busy place, so glad they have 2 spots close to each other. Had the full Scottish breakfast and it was done so well. The staff were fun and interacting with the customers.

I had read the great reviews about Edinburgh Larder and we decided to visit for lunch when we'd arrived from Manchester. We were lucky enough to get a table and from the moment we walked in the door we were made to feel welcome. The service is exceptional and the food is absolutely out of this word! As is the smokey bloody mary!!! In fact it's that good that after our run round Holyrood on Saturday morning we went back. There was a queue at this time but we decided to wait. Much to our surprise the gorgeous waiter who had looked after us the day before came out with two cups of the freshest orange juice, it was such a nice touch. We didn't wait long and sat down to another incredible breakfast with amazing coffee. This place is truly fantastic and I could not recommend it more! The hash is to die for!

Really nice place for a brunch! And the team is amazing 😊

Food was very good and staff were very friendly, but we felt like our experience was ruined by an "optional" service charge. The staff member did say it was optional to us, but it didn't really feel like it as the bill already had the service charge included. While it might make the place less money, I really think they should stop including the service charge in the bill by default.

Ordered the veggie breakfast and orange juice, both nice. Table i was sitting on was a bit dirty between the cracks (leftover dirt/ crumbs between the gaps of the table)

Had an amazing breakfast here on our little trip to Edinburgh. The staff were all lovely and friendly. The food was absolutely spot on!

A bust Sunday morning, I hadn't made a reservation, but they managed to squeeze in a table for one! And I'm glad they did. I ordered the Full Scottish breakfast, and I have to say it was probably one of the most flavourful breakfasts I've had in many, many years. The sausage was full of flavour and jam packed with meat, the haggis was really tasty, the beans had a subtle kick... it was just lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed it! The waiter kindly offered to top up my tea pot with hot water without additional charge, which is refreshing. I will definitely be returning when I visit Edinburgh again in the future. But I'll remember to reserve to avoid any disappointment!

Food was a bit over hyped, the latte was very milky but strong potential.

What a absolutely brilliant visit for breakfast that place is Food was so nice it just melted in our mouth Staffs were brilliant and the service was great Would definitely recommend it 👌

Very very good experience! I recommend the Hash, the waffle and the chai late!

Lovely atmosphere - a great place to get away from the cold for some lovely brunch options. The Scottish breakfast was full of local products and the Eggs Florentine also very tasty. Orange juice was a bit disappointing, it tasted like a mix of freshly squeezed and cordial. Overall, fantastic, friend staff and prompt service

Fabulous ! The drinks are delicious and very well dosed. The dishes are very generous and very good! I recommend 👍👍👍

Cozy place with delicious food, we've tried the breakfast and it was very tasty.

Perfect service and excellt vegan breakfast. We ordered the full Scottish vegan breakfast and a roll with vegan Haggis and both were incredible! The staff was super friendly nice. This would easily be our go to breakfast place if we'd only lived in Edinburgh ;)

A bit found by chance... No flashiness in the window, but super friendly service, hearty but healthy dishes (taste of Scotland). You made our stay even more beautiful. Many thanks. Great experience!

Very expensive for breakfast and we were waiting a long time to be served but the food was very high quality and worth the long queue outside

Found a gourmet Scottish porridge, a lovely little cafe. Friendly staff. The porridge was really yummy.

Very good breakafasts - we had mushroom toast, great advantage is early opening hours, would recommend

Overall pretty average experience. We waited outside for 25 minutes in the rain in a queue. Got inside, place felt a bit thrown together but overall the atmosphere was ok. The drinks were ok. Had a flat white which was nice. The food was all delivered from the main restaurant next door in silver metal boxes. It was then served in those boxes. I would have preferred a plate tbh. Food was ok, you could tell the ingredients were a good quality, (had the full Scottish) however it was just a strange experience eating them all together out of the metal box. Overall for 2 breakfast and 2 drinks it cost over £40 which is one of the most expensive breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Was it worth that much…. No. Would I go back, probably not. Staff were really friendly and can’t fault the service.

Great food and delicious drinks in a nice atmosphere. We were here for brunch in a larger group. It almost gets 5 stars but unfortunately the portions were a bit small for our taste. If you're hungry, we recommend eggs Benedict, the waffles were very tasty but unfortunately not that much. Still a recommendation from us!

It was a different and fun experience to have food served in an aluminum rectangular canteen (if that’s what it’s called) I had the full Scottish breakfast and wife had the waffle. I enjoyed my food, as did wife. Larder was on top of ChatGPT’s top suggestions. It did not disappoint.

I would give this place 6 stars for service and atmosphere if I could. Toasted sandwich best I have ever had. Superb green salad.

Fantastic experience! Food was fantastic, the quality and taste of ingredients was outstanding. Service was also great, our waiter was very friendly and down to earth- believe it was their 2nd day on the job haha! We got the haddock hash, which was dreamy- never had anything like it! Also got the wild mushrooms on toast which was light and tasty. Portion sizes are modest, but enough to feel full and also have room for a sweet treat- which is important! Also loved the local tomato sauce so much, so much that I had to buy a bottle. Will definitely be back next time I visit Edi!

The important thing is that the food in general was good, in quantity and quality, a place to recommend. Some points to improve, some glasses had an egg smell, perhaps cleaning them with alcohol would be better and the food was presented in metal cans that were not very pleasant to look at.

£17 for a Scottish breakfast, three people for breakfast came to £71… absolutely mental. Food was nice, staff were nice but reality is everything was the average standard. Nothing stood out as amazing. I guess this is what you get if you eat near the royal mile as the coffee shop around the corner charges more than anywhere else just because it’s on the mile.

Perfect for brunch, flavors and a real sense of service!

We had a great experience! The food was amazingly delicious but the service was even better - everyone was so kind and helpful! We definitely recommend: 10 /10!!

Very nice, not too crowded and great food

Food was great, you can really tell it’s freshly prepared to each order. It was piping hot and tasted fresh. Everything on the plate was great, from the well cooked bacon to the homemade baked beans. Portion size was perfect, plenty to fill you up. Defo book ahead of time to walk straight in and be seated. There were large queues for the smaller walk in restaurant next door. Service was friendly. Only real issue we had was being February every time the door opened the freezing draft hit us like a brick wall. Other than that it was great. Highly recommend.

The Traditional Scottish Breakfast is absolutely worth the wait. Or get there early before there’s a line! I didn’t think I would enjoy blood sausage or haggis, but they manage to make both incredibly delicious.

Honestly, I can’t really enjoy meals full of preservatives. Overall, it was an average experience. We ordered a Scottish breakfast and egg benedict, and if I had to rate it, I’d give it a 5 out of 10. The staff was nice, but we had to wait in line for about 30 minutes. I think it was pricy as well.

I tried the Scottish breakfast it was really good. The staff was amazing, extremely friendly and nice 🫶🏻

The best breakfast spot in Edinburgh.
