Edinburgh Larder Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

I had an amazing experience at this breakfast spot! The food was absolutely delicious, and every bite was a treat. The staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and kind—truly attentive with a lot of patience. It’s clear they care about providing a great experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast. Will definitely be back!

The breakfast menu offers a great variety of delicious options. I noticed that they offer a Scottish breakfast, which seems like a unique and interesting choice. The coffee was good, and the service staff were excellent—attentive and friendly. Overall, a great spot for breakfast,

Very good food. Very good service. Would visit again. Eggs Benedict was top.

We ate twice in a row at the Little Larder (where they take walk-ins). Delicious full scottish breakfast, best haggis I’ve ever had, and super friendly, efficient and kind service. It’s now my must-visit place whenever I’m back in town.

Cozy breakfast place. Fast service. Honest good flavour food. I recommend it

Incredibile place, food, staff... no words truly

Top Scottish breakfast and pleasant service

Beautiful place to enjoy a typical English breakfast, quality products, top-notch welcome

Gorgeous food .. nicely plated in trays . Staff are very friendly and very helpful .

Tasty food. Thought it was a bit pricey. £24 for 1 person breakfast, waffles and iced tea. Delicious food and nice atmosphere

We were lucky not waiting too long for a table at breakfast. Would highly suggest booking in advance especially if you have a party bigger than two people. Food was well worth the wait.

Amazing fresh food here! Ate at the Little Larder and Larder Morningside and the food was so good. A place we repeated a couple of times while in Edinburgh. Make a reservation, it will make sure you get in and get yum breaky! Service is fast and friendly

I can see why this place is enjoyed by many but it was very expensive for what we got. The portion sizes were a little on the smaller side so I am not sure about the value for money considering we spent over £40. Eggs were delicious, veggie black pudding tasted bland. The highlight for us was the fantastic customer service and very attentive team.

The hash was superb , and great to see a cup of tea with real tea leaves being used rather than teabags, we all in our group were impressed overall

We were looking for an early morning breakfast for our second day in Edinburgh and came across the Edinburgh Larder. I’d read reviews where someone had said that by 8:20am the place was packed so we made our way and arrived a couple of minutes before 8:00am and there were already 6 people before us. Such a good sign! We were seated really promptly and our orders were taken within minutes. The food came out quickly but not too quickly for you to question the freshness. I ordered the Hash with bacon and my fiancé ordered the Traditional Scottish. He said his breakfast was absolutely amazing and it was the first time he has enjoyed black pudding. The haggis was great and everything was cooked perfectly. My breakfast was phenomenal. The potatoes with the dill cream sauce was out of this world and just everything was a great experience. The coffee was wonderful too. The service was also delightful, attentive but not in your face and just a super chill, comfy vibe. We’re on our way back this morning for our final breakfast before we go but making sure we’re 10 minutes early to guarantee a seat!

The waffles were delicious! Small downside for the machiatto which is the size of an espresso… It was very good but expensive.

Loved the veggie breakfast, cozy atmosphere on a rainy day

We didn’t make a reservation but got seated fairly quick (queue for around 10-20 mins). Would definitely recommend a reservation beforehand. The atmosphere inside was really nice! I love the little touch of being served tins for food so it felt like I was having a lunch in a cafetaria or something. The foods were really nice as well, and also the coffee. If you’re looking for a laid-back, overall enjoyable experience for brunch, this place is worth the check!

Best hollandaise I’ve ever had, hands down, and my husband’s mushroom toast was just as good. Excellent service, superb food, we truly can’t say enough nice things about this place.

Excellent I love full Scottish breakfast

Great little restaurant to have breakfast! Cuisine with fresh products. Be careful, there may be a bit of a queue for a place to become available.

Great little place to have a healthy brunch in the old centre. Local products, freshly made, excellent service and great location. They have two places next to each other and seem to find a table for anyone who hasn’t booked.

Vasilis was great! Excellent service with a welcoming atmosphere!

I booked for breakfast at the cafe. Excellent little cafe that opened around 7.30am in the weekday. They have Matcha Lattes and accommodate for milk alternatives. I am not vegan but ordered the vegan breakfast which was excellent. I also ordered a piece of Banana bread to take away for later in the day (which was also very good). Fast service, loved this place, alot of people turned up as soon as they opened so they were popular.

Locale davvero carinissimo, piatti ottimi, veramente una scelta azzeccata. Noi abbiamo preso una full Scottish breakfast (17£) e uova alla Benedict (14 £). Menzione particolare per il pudding e l'hugghins, buonissimi. Assolutamente consigliato.

Get in line! It’s worth it!!! First time having haggis ✔️➕ surprisingly delicious! Loved the vibe. Fun servers. Yummy food! Appreciate the local relationships and care that goes into the food!

Coffee was good - but I‘ve had way better ones. The toilets were pretty nasty to be honest. Also our clothes smelled like the restaurant for the rest of the day

Had to be the best toastie (Three cheese and ham toastie – Isle of mull cheddar, Calva brie, herb cream cheese, Ramsay’s honey roast ham, tomato chutney) I've ever had. Fantastic quality food, friendly staff

Food is very tasty and been served very quick.

Fab Eggs Benedict...such tasty bacon and perfect (big and rich yellow) eggs. Mushrooms on toast with a poached egg also very much enjoyed. Very good pot of tea to wash it down! Service great !

Called to make a brunch reservation but was told they don’t take bookings over the phone, only online. Then told I couldn't make a reservation online as the time I was requesting was less than 90 minutes away. I was calling at 0945 for an 1100 table. The person I spoke to confirmed they had tables available at 11 but I couldn’t reserve them, I’d have to walk in and they couldn’t guarantee a table would still be available then. I explained I had a toddler so didn’t want to chance this option. Altogether a very unusual way to run a business, making it so difficult for the customer to make a booking. As a mum to a 1 year old, this is a level of complexity I don’t need for a simple brunch.

Feel bad giving this place a 3 star review but it was completely average so that what I'm giving it. I typed into my phone, best breakfast in edinburgh and this place came up so that I would go try it. Spoiler alert. It is not the BEST breakfast in Edinburgh. It is, however, the most EXPENSIVE In Edinburgh. At 17.50, it was ridiculously expensive. There is absolutely nothing to justify this price either. It was decent enough quality but nothing special. Only 1 sausage as well. I'm a fussy eater, and they wouldn't swap anything out. Which usually I don't mind but for the price I would expect they would be accommodating. The only people I would recommend this to are people who want to impress their hipster friends.

Delicious breakfasts and coffee. We'll be back❣️

Very popular place with a queue outside, so book in advance. I had an Eggs Benedict, scones and Flat White. Very good, top marks. We are going there again before we go home.

The best Egg Benedict I've ever had in my life. Simply amazing.

Lovely place, great food. A bit expensive, but that's to be expected in the old town.

Delicious food and very attentive service;

Crowded + the place is small and stuffy Sweet flat white Benedict imagination

Nice Restaurant, had the vegetarian breakfast and the mushroom toast, good vegetarian Haggis! We were lucky to be very early, normally there is a long queue and you have to wait 15min+

It has both the EL and the Little Larder, it has its specific taste and style and is ideal for breakfast and Lunch. Though it is pricey, the experience is clear.

The best Full Scottish we had in our entire two-week trip. They also have good lighter options, including vegetarian choices. Small-ish dining room, but they still got us in quickly on a weekday morning. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved this place from the moment we walked in, the service from all the staff was welcoming and charming too. The food was really delicious, really recommend the full Scottish breakfast and also the kilted eggs. Our daughters also loved their waffles with golden syrup and the hot chocolates "on the house." A very kind gesture. The food here was a real highlight of our trip, we'll return when we're next in Edinburgh. Super location too, just off the Royal Mile.

Good hearty locally sourced breakfast. Walked in and only waited about 5-10 minutes to be seated at peak breakfast time on a Saturday. Good service and food all around.

Nice spot I've been meaning to try for a while, but it's always packed whenever I walk past. Managed to grab a table on a weekday and found the veggie breakfast and matcha superb. Service was lovely and I appreciated the water for my dog and the offer to heat up any milk I might have for my newborn. Will definitely be back.

Luckily we got a seat in this otherwise busy place... it was bit small place but the waiters helped us place our 2 strollers.. we had complete Scottish breakfast and hash... loved both of them..must visit place in old town of Edinburgh

Lovely breakfast spot with delicious food. The hash is incredible!

We didn't end up going so can't comment

It was a great experience overall but you should really try the waffle 🤤

Disappointing experience. I asked for scrambled eggs instead of poached and they told me they couldn't do it. Also, in the end they tried to charge me a tip despite the bad service. I don't recommend it. Disappointing experience. I asked for scrambled eggs instead of poached, and they said they couldn't do it. On top of that, they tried to charge a tip despite the poor service. I wouldn't recommend it.

This was our favorite place we ate our entire time in Scotland. The atmosphere, the food and drinks, and the staff were all amazing. Highly recommend

Food was good, but pricey. Food also arrived in either a disposable bowl(very environmentally friendly) however some food is coming in stainless steel bowls, that are difficult to eat from in my opinion. Service charge of 12.5% is applied ( but they do say it's optional when you get the bill).

Really great place to eat ..recommend booking a table gets really busy ..well worth a visit

Stunning spot. The line is worth the wait and moves quickly! The food was soo good. I got the hash and bf got eggs Benedict. Both were incredible. Tried haggis for the first time, do it!

Amazing food and great service. It helps to arrive earlier in the morning to avoid the line.

Wow. The wait and queue were worth it. Excellent dishes, fresh raw materials. Kind and accurate service.

Very cute restaurant with great breakfast options. Coffee was great and had my first Haggis experience here. I can understand why everyone would be afraid to try Haggis but it was a great dish! Do it for the culture! Food was fresh and quality! Delicious and amazing experience

We had a wonderful experience overall. Although our food arrived later than expected, it was exceptionally delicious and well worth the wait. Additionally, we appreciated the 25% discount offered as a gesture of apology for the delay.

I had breakfast with my friend, and although the place was really busy, the host quickly found us a table. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, and the food was prepared exactly how we liked it. I chose the Eggs Royale, which came with plenty of salmon. It was absolutely worth every penny. You should definitely check this place out at least once!

Walk in and was kindly seated very quickly. One of the best sandwiches - smoked trout which was a recommendation from the waitress. Delicious soup of the day and mushrooms on toast. We were asked why we were visiting Edinburgh and as it was my mother’s birthday, the waitress offered her a pick from the sweet treats on the house! A great find, just off of the Royal mile.

Very rich breakfast, delicious coffee. Very friendly treatment. To repeat

We waited for 15 minutes without a reservation at the Little Larder and were seated at the Larder. The Scottish breakfast was delicious. It is a tightly packed restaurant with not much space between tables.

The best breakfast I had in Edinburgh. Truly a delight and will be on my list when I return.

Popped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning. It was extremely busy with a queue outside, this has to be a great sign of quality. We didn't wait that long and we're offered a table near the door, only if we were ok with it. I ordered the Scottish breakfast and my wife had the kilted eggs. All I have to say is..... Fantastic fantastic fantastic!!! This is for the food, service and atmosphere. And it not very often I give 5 stars True praise indeed as I have been a chef over 30 years and this has been the best breakfast I have had in a long time. The ingredients were of top quality and very very tasty. Service was quick and first class considering how busy it was. Also in a great location just off the royal mile. Thank you for a great experience!!

The guys were super nice even if the food sometimes took a little longer (which is normal for a tourist restaurant)

Excellent food, very good atmosphere and perfect service.

It may be the best breakfast place in Edinburgh😍 of course we preferred vegan, we do not prefer the classic English breakfast and other products had pork, but the vegan English breakfast and vegan egg benedict were regular and very satisfying, we loved it very much🫶🏻💕 we came early in the morning, it is a small place. But we sat down immediately🫶🏻

Sadly, the food was really bland and not worth the price. We had the vegetarian breakfast and it was tasteless. Nice place/atmosphere, but if you’re looking for a vegetarian breakfast, walk around the corner for much better options with much shorter queues.

Omgosh… best breakfast I’ve had in ages!

Really good with gluten free. Gluten free bread made on site. Nice at atmosphere, cracking food and very friendly staff.

Small cozy spot, absolute CHAMPS at eggs. These guys could cook an egg upside down with a candle. Sit down meal may be a fun ordeal with table service but you can also rely on them for a bap, breakfast sandwich, as a takeaway for a fantastic value.

Best Scottish breakfast and kind staff. Coffee was good.

Solid 5 stars. I had the hash; it was that of a high end restaurant! I watched all staff hustle to ensure all guests were fed. Thank you to each of you! If you’re thinking of going - just do it! Delicious!

Amazing breakfast! Delicious! Nicely priced!

Making a Reservation is quite easy, and alone dining is also not an issue. The food was very delicious (Had the full Scottish breakfast) and the staff very welcoming!

Sat me at the window for a two-person reservation and felt a bit high at the table but the food was magnificent. I've not had a kilted egg breakfast before but this meal really set my expectations!

Highly advisable to try the typical Scottish breakfast. The waiters are very nice, special mention to Diego, he tries to speak Spanish and is a super nice guy.

Staff is friendly and the food was so good. I don't usually like my eggs poached, but whatever they do here makes them taste so good. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Highly recommend

Nice enough but overpriced for what it is. I wouldn't be rushing back tbh.

A cozy, bustling breakfast spot with a shared table setup. The food is served in a distinctive way—delivered to you in a metal box!

Scottish Full breakfast very average. Bacon cold and dry, Potato tatties very dry and overcooked, only 1 egg for £17.50 would have expected 2 eggs and didn't like their home made baked beans. Coffee way to strong and the metal lunch boxes they served the breakfast in were form over function, normal plates work well hint hints. Service was excellent shame about the food! Wouldn't return.

Small place, friendly staff, good food. Would recommend

We ordered Egg Florentine and fresh orange juice. The food was good, while the atmosphere is not great for me.

Scottish breakfast is a good choice, there are two shops next to each other, they are both the same, while we were waiting in line, an employee from the side said that we could sit on the other side and let us in. The inside smells bad and is narrow, there are definitely more reasonable places in terms of price, but it is a place that makes you feel good and The employees are lovely, we were satisfied

Good local restaurant serving brunch, located just off a main tourist thoroughfare. Clean restaurant, average service, casual atmosphere. The food was served hot. And with average presentation. The taste, quality and portion size were average. Most of the dishes were served in a rectangular metal tray. They have two adjacent restaurant, The Edinburg Larder and Little Larder. Everything is the same except the Little Larder does not have restrooms so you have to go next door. Overall, an average meal. --Tourist from the U.S.A.

I ordered the classic Scottish breakfast and waffles. The queue was a bit long. If you want to try it, you can try it.

Service is amazing! Food is delicious

There was always a line so I did an open run. You can eat vegan haggis and black pudding. The black pudding had a bit of strong spice, Other than that, everything was just delicious. The store interior and staff are lively. There was always queue. Tried veggie breakfast. Except vegan black pudding (flavor was strong for me), I loved and enjoyed all food. The staff and the atmosphere were so lively.

High quality cafe , tucked away off the main drag . Excellent food , can't go wrong. Not cheap but reasonable value.

Coffee took over 20 mins to come out, definitely wasn’t worth waiting for. Service was rushed and rude, told we had 3 minutes to pay before the next group would be seated.

Great breakfast. Lots of sweet or savory choices. Fresh products. Very friendly staff. We went back several times 😊 Remember to book because it is always full.

Extraordinary homemade scones! Warm and very soft. A delight.

Delightful little place. Full breakfast and Florentine were wonderful!

There was a wait, but it didn't take long to get in line The food is delicious, I recommend it to you

Haggis was great! Cool place, nice to take a break during s tourist day.

The Larder was definitely a solid breakfast stop during our time in Edinburgh. There was a line outside, but the wait was not too long at about 15 minutes. The menu is small, but all the items we tried were fresh and interesting. Each dish wasn't necessarily to my taste, but service was quick and vibes inside fun. The waffle was the highlight for sure.

The food was delicious and service attentive. One of the best tumeric lattes I have ever had.

athe food was ok, nice presentations, the service is not so friendly, long time to wait.

The food was exceptional! We really enjoyed the waffle, tumeric latte and eggs florentine! After our meal we enjoyed a nice cocktail as well to cap off the experience. Very nice place and amazing staff

While I did enjoy my eggs benedict, the portion itself was quite small compared to others I've received elsewhere. The food being served in tins is an absolute gimmick and actually makes the food feel cheap and novelty. The service fee is also unnecessary given the minimal interaction with a waiter. It was no issue removing the service charge and I opted for a lower amount instead.

I had such an amazing breakfast experience at this place in Edinburgh that I made sure to go back before leaving the city. The first day, I tried the traditional Scottish breakfast, which was hearty and flavorful, a perfect way to start the day. On my second visit, I went for a sweet breakfast, and it was equally delightful. The variety, quality, and attention to detail in the food were outstanding. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for an exceptional breakfast in Edinburgh
