Falko Konditormeister in East Lothian

We have been going to Falkos for years. The restaurant is beautiful and quirky. The food is excellent 👌 as always and I don't mind the increase in price as everything has gone up, that is life. But the service is absolutely terrible 😞 It has gone down the drain for some time but this time was the pits. Come on Falko!!! I am German and know how it should be, so get your act together.

Prices have gone threw the roof. Two cakes and two coffees 1 large, 1 small £16.00. Cakes arrived at the table and coffee arrived about 10 mins later. No table service, you go to the bar and order. They don't even carry the cakes to the table for that price. No service worth talking about. Don't think I'd return. Bought two malted plain rolls to take away £1.80 absolute piece of nonsense.

Very quirky little cafe, gorgeous food and plenty of choices, I'm gluten free and chose a meat loaf roll, delicious gf roll was fabulous, plenty cakes too

First visit here, lovely cafe though quite dim at some of the tables. I was looking forward to some German baking having been to Germany many years ago and loved the food. Great choice of sweets treats and an eclectic choice on the lunch menu. Order and pay at the bar, take your goodies to the table. Then wait ages for your coffee to arrive hence the 3 stars, drinks at the same time as cake would have made 5 stars. I would also add it was the dearest tea and coffee i've had anywhere.

Perfectly adequate cafe, perhaps service could be a bit better, but the food & drinks were excellent. Whenever we're in the area we'll call in just to buy some of the Lebkuchen cakes to take away. They have a wonderful selection just before Christmas!

Our one and only festive outing was to Falkos for a fabulous brunch . Eggs Benedict , Goats Cheese and Stornaway Black Pudding Salad wow these dishes are spectacular. Quality produce , skilfully cooked MmmhThen we had Stunning Black Forest Gateaux and Lemon Tart to follow . Pastries and cakes made for the gods.Hiding in a wee corner of the Hidden Town this eatery does not disappoint.

Excellent food and service. Eggs Benedict was delicious , pancakes with bacon superb. Staff are delightful. Wonderful cakes and coffee too

Delicious lunch of eggs Benedict, lovely coffees and couldn't resist the cakes. My favourite is the blueberry and passion fruit gateaux, it's to die for.

My favourite traditional Austro-Hungarian monarch's cakes' I often have travelling in Europe. But the best ever version is made by Falko.

We dropped in and picked up some cakes from the counter - amazed by the choice and quality. These were delicious and would be worth the 120 mile round trip to get them. COVID-19 restrictions were done well, and the meals looked interesting and appropriately German. Well worth the visit.

Being a regular visitor for breakfast, Falkos is the top of all the cafes in East Lothian. The service provided by the younger waitress is always friendly and efficient adding to the dining experience. Quality traditional values.

We were staying on holiday nearby but kept returning. Amazing bread, cakes and lunch. Loved it...it’s a reason to make Haddington a destination. Staff very helpful and friendly. Ausgezeichnet, Vielen Dank!

Exceptional food/drink - couldn’t recommend it enough. We enjoyed it so much we visited twice and was happy to travel many miles to sample such lovely food - absolutely made our holiday! All foods we tried were delicious including the wonderful cakes and bread. Served efficiently and courteously on both occasions. Highly recommended.

summary of last 3 or 4 visits: Queue outside, look at menu, choose something nice, look forward to it, get inside, it's missing from the inside menu, server says it's not on the menu. So why is it on the outside menu then?"iced chocolate please" - sorry no ice cream"Iced chocolate please" - sorry no vanilla ice cream, so I choose cherry"Iced chocolate with cherry ice cream please" - sorry no cherry ice creamok i'll have some food - sorry kitchen closes at 3you close at 5pm ? Yes you close the kitchen at 3pm? Yes, #stupidI swear, every single time you visit here there will be something missing, something wrong, something out of stock or just something else has changed. Falko's is by far the most frustrating "cafe" I have ever visited and that's when you actaully want it to be good and you keep going back hoping that next time will be normal, but it never is. A cafe that closes at 5 but stops serving food at 3? One menu outside to look at then different menu inside?Lastly, the menu in general is very poor unless you eat nothing but pork schnitzel, the other offerings are either quite strange or ridiculously over priced.I think it's time to give up on this place.

I am not much of writing a review in places, but i hope this is constructive for improvement.I love Falko's cake and the beautiful cafe in Haddington but i have to say that the older lady is not so friendly, i do not want to say rude, just not front of house material.I ordered a black Forrest gateau with a coffee, i was told to go back and sit down and the cake would follow, i already had my coffee and waited and waited but the cake never came and my coffee was getting cold. S o i kindly explained to this really friendly and polite waitress that my coffee was cold and if i could please have a fresh one,my coffee cup was pretty much full, she quickly brought me fresh coffee but i was charged twice for the coffee which i didn't even drink.I do understand the difficult times now and not having enough staff, I also work in a cafe and i hope this is just a challenge to improve overall, customer service is everything in hospitality.i wish i could give a five star rating but the service needs to be more friendly.

Falko hat neben einem ausgezeichneten deutsch angehauchten Mittagstisch und einer tollen Frühstücksauswahl , richtig gutes handwerkliches Brot und einfach tolle Kuchen Spezialitäten.

Sat outside and enjoyed watching the world go by. Coffee arrived quickly enough and was very good, the food however took considerably longer however these are not normal times. We were concerned about the 90 minute parking though. Prices were probably fair given the Covid situation. Staff were very polite, informative anh helpful. The food was very well presented and in good portions.

Really good coffee. Delicious cherry and almond tart. Not the cheapest place in the world but offers value for money. Pleasant service.

Not the cheapest but everything my girlfriend and I have tried was really really good. The bread is just too good. Eggs benedict and a smooth coffee is not the worst way to finish of a road cycle. Love this place.

Absolutely worth the visit, gorgeous selection of cakes, great bacon rolls, and a really lovely coffee

Stopped off for a coffee break. Very welcoming . Lovely comfortable seating. Friendly staff. I had a bacon roll which was huge but extremely tasty. They didn’t skimp on bacon either. My partner had pancakes and maple syrup, equally tasty.

We called today after a mooch in the shops in the rain. We were welcomed by very polite staff and the coffee and vegan cakes were delicious. We purchased a sour dough bread to take home. A local customer talked to us and spoke highly of all the vegan cakes too- enough said

Visited for breakfast with a friend, had lovely croissants, very busy,have been before will be back.Recommend blue lady tea and applpie.

Really friendly and excellent service. We went mid-week for brunch and enjoyed the Austrian sausage roll with horseradish and mustard. But the Sacher Torte was to die for, rich, filling and scrumptious. A bit disappointed in the limited selection of breads to take away, their old place in Bruntsfield had a more comprehensive selection (black rye and bread pretzels for example) but will see if this is the case when we next return.

It is our great fortune to have a world-class, award-winning pastry chef on our doorstep. We had visited Falko's previously in Gullane, and purchased cakes and biscuits at the farmers' market. We were delighted when they opened in the old George Hotel in Haddington. This review is written in December, but we drop in every week to sit in or take out. Or both, to be honest :)True to form, the cakes, tarts and pastries in Haddington are breath-takingly good. We have visited Konditorei in other countries, and while all certified Konditormeisters are as qualified as Falko, not all are as talented. It is mind-blowing think of the time it takes to craft even one cake to such an impressive standard. Then you realise there is a counter full of works of art! We like to watch out for the rare treats; special seasonal items like Printen (medieval gingerbread) and sea-buckthorn ice-cream. Add to that, the glorious bread, great food, coffee, tea, and lovely service make this our home-from-home.We are vegetarian, with one of us being allergic to tomato. The chef has always been able to accommodate us, particularly with advance notice. We have been in for coffee and cake, brunch, business lunches, birthday lunches and Christmas dinner parties. We have had meals with friends who are vegan and gluten-free, and there were options for both dietary requirements. There are limitations as there is bread flour in the air in the bakery, so it can never be completely gluten-free, but our friends have always found their choices to be excellent. There is only a tiny kitchen, so phoning ahead is a courtesy to allow them to prepare. On occasion, they will run out of some items, like bread, but it takes so long to make, they can't just run out to the shops to grab more. For us, that's just a reminder to get in early for the things we really like :)Tips to note: the main food menu is on the window; you can review that before you go in. You choose your cake from the counter, there isn't a cake "menu" as the large selection changes daily. For a quick lunch, you can get takeaway soup and roll from the counter, plus the fabulous cakes and bread. Understandably, it gets really busy on Saturdays and at lunchtimes, but it doesn't take much to be kind and patient. We appreciate that takes time to cook everything from scratch, this is slow food in all the best senses. There is plenty to keep you occupied, from selecting the cake you want from the counter to checking out the latest antiques for sale. In short, this place is a Haddington gem :)

We had excellent Black Forest Gateau here and lemon tart. The tea and coffee were very good too. The decor is lovely and the staff polite. Great place to stop at on the way to or from Edinburgh.

The food was delicious and the service warm and friendly. I was however surprised to see six dogs come into the restaurant whilst we were there. Whilst most were well behaved it isn’t particularly pleasant to be eating a meal whilst a dog scratches away at the next table. So much attention is given to food allergies but dogs equally cause allergic reactions particularly in respect of asthma sufferers. Regrettably I won’t be eating here again.

Have lived in Munich and love Bavarian food so was looking forward to trying here. Was not disappointed. We were only going to have a cake but ended up with the Leberkase as well and some more cake to take home with us. Drove 2 hours to get there and will be doing it again. Cost is more expensive here in Scotland than what it would cost in Bavaria but worth every penny.

Falko offers a fabulous selection of food and drink. The cakes are the most delicious I have ever had, and believe me, I have had a lot, as my ample girth will attest. They are superbly balanced and refined - uncommonly good taste and texture and not overly sweet. We picked up some artisan loaves and even more cakes on our way out. Being German, and a foodie, I have indeed found my happy place, or as I like to say, 'mein glücklicher ort'.

We were looking for a dog friendly place to eat on the way back from St Andrews to our Scottish Borders accommodation. We spotted the sign for the historic town of Haddington and found this great place to eat in the middle of the town. The concept is very much Black Forest German cuisine, superb cake and amazing coffee. The food is authentically German - I had a home made noodle dish with lardons, onions and cheese. It was piping hot, more than enough for two people and very tasty. My wife had an onion tart and salad. We followed this up with apple tart and coffee. The bill arrived and we were both surprised to find that (including drinks), the entire meal was just over thirty five pounds - fantastic value for what we had eaten.

Whether you eat in or take away Falko's is a delight. The food is excellent- so nice to sample a different kind of breakfast, light lunch or gorgeous cakes. It's not somewhere to go if you're in a hurry but it's well worth taking the time to enjoy the whole Falko experience. Look forward to taking home some proper bread or indulgent gateaux and tarts. Not to be missed!

Four of us sadly ordered the meatloaf and potato salad. Whilst not unpleasant, the meatloaf bore an uncanny resemblance to spam in texture and taste, being made almost entirely from finely ground pork.I know this is a traditional German recipe, but I much prefer my meatloaf made from pork and beef as well as onions. We all opted for cakes for desert. The others raved about their choices, but my carrot and hazelnut slice was glazed with marzipan icing which overwhelmed the slight flavour of the nuts.

Es gab leckeres, auswahlreiches Frühstück, schöne Auswahl an Mittagessen und vor allem, beste deutsche Kuchen und Torten, sowie deutsches Brot.

This is a welcome addition to Haddington. We enjoyed sitting outside with a coffee. We were not tempted by the fine range of cakes and pastries, though they looked very good. The bread that we bought there was excellent.

We were looking for a cafe for brunch on our way to Durham. We loved this place, food was superb, attacively presented with an interesting reasonably priced menu. Service attentive. Wish we lived closer so we could visit regularly.

We come here occasionally for dinner, with the pork and chicken schnitzel being our favourites! The layered cakes are not my cup of tea - just personal preference, however the tarts are always lovely. The service can be slow and I often see members of staff appearing stressed. Unsure if this is an issue with the system in place. Otherwise, there is a pleasant young waitress I have seen each time I've been in, who is cheerful and will make effort to chat with customers. We will keep returning!

Took visiting family in mid-afternoon to show what we were raving about following trips to former premises in Cockenzie and Gullane. Great job in bringing the Haddington premises to life. Still great selection of cakes. Sadly four of us wanted the French Toast as it sounded delicious. After placing the order we were told there was no French Toast left. I’m no cook, but is it possible not to have the ingredients for French Toast in such a place!?

A group of eight of us stopped off for a light lunch whilst cycling through on the Coast and Castles ride. Bike racks outside, next to the outside tables, the service was excellent, orders taken, food arrived, it was all spot on. I had the vegan salad...wow what a tasty salad, and a fantastic cranberry gateaux to finish off with. The range of home made cakes was something else. Falko came out and told us some of the history of the building, he was a very welcoming host, and master baker. The whole thing was great, one of the highlights of our trip.

We went to Falco in Haddington today at 11.45. The restaurant was only half full with 6 tables outside. Despite asking for a lunch menu we waited in the restaurant for 26 minutes without being offered anything at all. After 15 minutes I went up to the cash desk and asked a young man if we could have some tea. He said we are really busy and I will get to you.....really busy ? ......50% of the tables were empty.

Happened to stumble across this restaurant, and I’m so glad I did. Had the most amazing lunch, food was ultra fresh, really well presented, German potato salad was to die for... There is a vast array of mouthwatering cakes on display, I was totally stuffed by my main course or I would definitely sampled one.

It's a very nice place for lunch but I usually pop in to buy some very nice bread. They also do amazing cakes.

Called into here late afternoon & had lovely coffee, we shared a very substantial piece of apple strudel which was amazing!! Lovely cosy & inviting place.

Extremely busy but all staff exceptional. We were a party of 4 and a baby. Communication from David the waiter was great as keeping us informed as to how long our lunch would arrive. Just at the point of serving the baby cried and I took him out and settled him to sleep. On returning my meal was kept piping hot and was delicious. Then it came to coffee and cakes. Best ever cakes and baked on premises apparantly. The other waiter took all our photos despite them being run if their feet. Nothing phased the superb staff they were so helpful and pleasant. Please don't change!!

Was suprised to see Kase spatzle on the menu. Have it when visiting family in Regensburg Bavaria. Had the mushroom kase spatzle which was delicous...10/10

My weelchair-bound companion had probably the best chocolate cake she's ever tried and waiters couldn't have been any sweeter and more helpful. We'll certainly visit again, looking forward to trying your bread. Thank you.

Friendly staff and great food - I'll definitely be back. The cafe seating area is comfy and stylish.Can't fault anything.

We were visiting friends in Haddington and called in for a light lunch without a reservation. We were delighted. A lovely large dining area, good friendly service and delicious soup and sandwiches Some antique clocks and furniture also on sale. Need to return to try the delicious looking cakes.

Had a wonderful afternoon lunch. My wife had käsespätzle with black forest ham and I had schnitzel cordon bleu with creamed leeks and a small rosti. Both were very tasty.

Went in for midweek lunch without a reservation.

We visited for a 1st time for soup & coffee but both of us didn’t fancy the butternut squash soup so we ordered coffees & a bacon roll & a German sausage roll . The coffees were really nice , slow to get them & the rolls were an even bigger wait! Mine was a tepid 2 German sausage ( hot dog look alike ) no butter & with German mustard in a separate dish . The sausage was tepid so hence the 3 stars ! The bacon roll was tasty . I just felt that the roll was too heavy & the waitresses need to be more aware of their customers needing attention , we asked for a second coffee & had to remind them & next table had a wait for the bill ... come on folks service needs to be greatly improved !

Falko is a bistro and delicatessen combined. The setting is quite unique and there are quirky pieces such as a chaise longue. Breakfast choice is varied and it’s even possible to have eggs served on rosti. Daytime menu has some imaginative dishes and bread is from their own bakery. Cakes are literally to die for and as you wait to pay the bill, you can browse bread, cakes and condiments to take away. Service is also very good.

The first couple of times we were impressed they went out of their way but the last twice we waited almost 45minutes to be served also we had our 2grandchildren with us and everything we asked for they didn't have and didn't really offer them a alternative quite disapointing

Went in for a late lunch at 1.45. Order taken 2.00, Food arrived 2.30 (it takes a long time because the food is made to order). Food finished 2.35. Tried to order tea/coffee and cake for a further 15 minutes and then gave up. Staff mesmerised by the billing software.

We dropped into Falko on Wednesday lunchtime on the way to Edinburgh. The place was quite busy but we were seated and served without delay. Of particular note were the eggs florentine which had obviously been prepared with great care; crunchy Rösti, yolks still soft. We had planned to have cake as well but the pieces were rather large for after lunch so settled for take away, the spelt bread was also first rate. The German style Christmas decorations are subtle but festive, it’s a shame we live too far away to visit more often.

A nice cosy atmosphere and a myriad of fabulous looking cakes and gateauxs greeted us as we entered. We even got to meet the Meister Konditorei himself!! Thoroughly enjoyed our coffee and cake and will certainly return when next in Scotland. Just a shame there isn't one in Northumberland.

My elderly mother took me to Falko for lunch today.. we opted for the soup and sandwich combo. Our food came, it turned out it was soup with an open sandwich. Mum didn’t want to complain but said she wouldn’t be back..an expensive disappointment

Sat outside for excellent coffee, croissant and sticky bun, fabulous confectionary - cakes, bakes, scones, pastries. Very good service, vgan options, dog friendly recommended,

Place was almost full, but managed to get a table. Lovely food. Contrary to some comments, service was really good.

Oh dear what a shame , I was so looking forward to this , service was shambolic, chaotic and slow slow slow . Scones and coffees where average at best , we waited 20 minutes for our order to be taken and 45 minutes to be served. The place wasn’t even busy. To add insult to injury , was the most expensive scone and coffee I’ve ever had.

I stopped here for a hot chocolate and a bit of cake.

Good is good, really good when you get it, service is more than slightly chaotic, with young staff not knowing, no visible leadership and staff being pulled to service behind counter to take cash serve cakes while trying to wait tables

An excellent bakery, super bread and cakes but do NOT try the bacon roll. 30% solid thick fat and undercooked tired bacon. Highlighted to staff and problem understood but no refund offered. Disappointing behaviour.

This is a brilliant format and meets a need locally. But the service on both my visits was woeful. Twice our order was literally forgotten. Yesterday we sat with drinks for 40 minutes without any notice taken until we lost patience. We had only ordered sandwiches. Not one waiter wondered why our table was devoid of plates. Many apologies offered but we’d had enough and left. Still charged £10 for drinks. Get a grip, Falko!

Popped in for coffee and cake. It was a Saturday afternoon and was very busy, so we expected to have to wait. First impressions - lovely decor, and very welcoming. The entrance can get very congested as this is where you have to wait to be seated and where the cake counter is so you get a lot of folk trying to see the cakes on offer. We waited a couple of minutes to be seated and another 20 minutes for our order to be taken. Both ordered coffee and the strudel and lemon tart. Took around another 20 minutes to arrive. The coffee didn’t come with a little pot of milk so I asked for some. Was half way through my tart when I had to ask again for some. The strudel was warm but soggy. It came with a little side order of cream. It would have been nice if the tart had come with cream too. Overall, what let our visit down was the very slow and sloppy service. Wouldn’t rush back.

I was visiting Haddington and remembered that Falko had relocated here from Gullane.

Was surprised to come across Falko on a recent visit to Haddington having known it in Bruntsfield. Enjoyed a lovely lunch and the food was excellent as usual. Had to buy a freshly baked loaf of bread to go. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

Dear oh dear, Falko, what was a truly great restaurant / cafe / bakery, has gone so far down in the service front that we feel we are not likely to visit again.

We had a second breakfast here after an early start. Can thoroughly recommend the brioche and yoghurt scone. Viennese coffee was also delicious. This is a lovely place with friendly and helpful staff.

Called in for lunch with a friend and so happy we did. Lovely menu and food was lovely. Relaxed atmosphere and great service. Beautiful selection of cakes and gateaux. A lovely selection of bread for sale. Would recommend and will definitely return.

the cakes are very interesting and of a larger than normal size,dont have breakfast before you go lol.

Enjoyed pancakes with bacon and maple syrup here. Always enjoyed the food at Falko's in Gullane and Cockenzie House and wasn't disappointed with their new Haddington base. Definitely worth more visits in the future.

We went down to Falko's this morning for a bit of a lazy breakfast. I had their lovely raisin brioche with jam and my partner had their bacon and egg roll.

Didn’t know this place existed until we found it online, been once for lunch and most recently dinner. There was a bit of a wait for lunch but the food was well worth it. I love schnitzel and it’s amazing to be able to have it so close to home. I think it tastes better than what I had in Berlin! They also have a big selection of cakes when you come in, it’s now my favourite in Haddington

We came across Falko while stopping for lunch in Haddington en route to a holiday house in Northumberland with our chocolate cocker spaniel, Maya. We were immediately impressed by the friendly welcome for us all with a biscuit and water for Maya right away. There is a pleasant atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and some very good food - my eggs Benedict was just right. Food can be a bit slow to arrive but our wait was well within acceptable limits. The cake and pastries were, as one might expect from a German bakery, excellent and so we had Kaffee und Kuchen to finish lunch. We'll be back.

This is a busy resturant, it is quaint with differing seats and tables. The service is very helpful and friendly. The cakes varied and wonderful - not good for the waistline but indulge yourself once in a while. The lunch menue is limited but the quality is good. Give it a go.

Went in for lunch today it was busy and waited 10 min for a table which was ok but what we found unacceptable was waiting 1 hour 15min for a bowl of soup!! We heard a few people complain about the same thing. When we asked why we hadn’t received our lunch the staff were not sympathetic or helpful just used the excuse they have a small kitchen. That maybe so but they could have kept us informed on how long. The food is lovely and it is a nice place but they need to get things sorted out in the kitchen!! Worth a visit but don’t go in your lunch hour!!

Not a planned visit, stumbled upon this place by accident - lovely setting, never been to a German bakery before but was pleasantly surprised, cake selection marvellous, staff very knowledgeable, Was very surprised to find out the Chocolate cake is gluten free - high spec of ingredients used. Would recommended

Met 2 friends this morning for breakfast at Falko.

Finally, been able to try Falko’s. I had never been to the Gullane store so have nothing to compare it to.

I was disappointed to hear about Falko having to close in Gullane, but after visiting the new Haddington site, I’m sort of glad.

We stopped in for coffee and cakes and both were outstanding. My partner tried some less common varieties of tea (bags of which could also be purchased there), while I enjoyed a lovely cup of strong coffee. The slices of cake are enormous. I recommend the black forest cake - it was decadent. Wish we had time to come back for a meal - will do so next time.

Probably the best dinner I’ve ever had and certainly that I can remember. Great ambience, great food and great service. Important to add that it is excellent value for money.

Love Falcos, eat there a lot & the staff are friendly

Stopped for a bite of lunch whilst passing Haddington, glad we did.

So good to enjoy a new dining experience in Haddington. Very nice venue and wonderfully cooked food. Germanic / Alsation in style, the menu and wine list are both quite limited but the high quality of each compensates, wine is good VFM.

We go every week for eggs Benedict, Eggs Royale. Their attention to detail and quality food is exceptional. They bake their own bread and make fabulous gateau and cakes. There is a German theme running throughout which is lovely. High quality food, great service. One not to be missed!

Recently relocated from Gullane to Haddington so this was my first visit to the new Falko's.

We have just had a totally fabulous Saturday evening at Falko’s restaurant in Haddington - the move from Gullane has seen the business flourish - into much bigger premises in the former George Hotel at the base of the High Street - the ambience is lovely, with a sophisticated German decor cleverly intertwined with a decidedly Scottish twist!

We had lunch a couple of weeks ago,very good food especially the schnitzel.Cakes we took away to savour later.Looking forward to trying evening meal

We visited with family on a busy Saturday afternoon and were lucky to get a table. I was pleased with the great choice of teas, and in particular one of my favourites Blue Lady which tempts me away from my staple black coffee. The cakes all looked amazing and we were not disappointed with the Carrot Cake but you are paying for an artisan product so it is quite expensive.

Really cannot fault our evening meal. The service, ambience and food were all excellent. Certainly the best pannacotta I've ever had! Reasonably priced also, particularly for drinks.

Stumbled across this little gem on our way back to Northumberland. Great atmosphere, good service and well above average amd interesting food. Set (Valentine) meal, but with enough choice for individual taste. Candles, piano player - all good.

First time trying out Falko in the evening and the food was amazing. Main meals included venison with dumplings, pork cooked three ways, chicken with goats cheese and sun-dried tomatoes and cod. All freshly cooked and top quality. For dessert, crumbles and cake were fabulous. The choice of places to go in Haddington for a nice meal has really stepped up over recent months. Great to see

My friend and I had dinner here recently, we were given a warm welcome on our arrival and shown to our table, I had the pork dish which was fantastic! so many flavours in one dish, my friend had the 8oz sirloin steak which he raved about. The two young waitresses were very attentive and answered all our questions. Will definitely be back to try out other dishes an overall lovely dining experience.

This had been on the Tick list for sometime and did not disappoint in any way, especially after we were first in Gullane and was now closed. So worth the short drive. Great roll, excellent hand cut chips and amazingly delicious Strudel. Now going to try the Edinburgh one.

I’ve visited Falkos a few times since opened. It’s a massive plus for Haddington. Great baked bread, amazing cakes and pastries etc plus hot savoury food that has been sadly missing from Haddington. Although Jim and sons back in Waterside and serving massively improved fare.

Our first evening meal experience in this restuarant. On our visit the restaurant not too busy.

We had had coffee here but this was our first evening meal. The premises are pleasant and have character. The menu changes every month which is good because it is sensibly short. There is a Getman flavour to certain dishes but not all. The food was good and plentiful as well as very well presented. Service was amateurish. The wine was dumped on our table without asking us if we wanted to taste it or have it poured. Although there were only two of us and few in the restaurant, the staff had no idea as to who had ordered what. This place is promising but has a bit to go.

Had dinner here yesterday evening , the food, service and atmosphere is absolutely top class. I had the chicken and my wife had the Trio of Pork, I’m having it the next time. 5 Star place not to be missed.

Went here for a coffee and ended up staying for lunch. Really good vibe and good food. Not too pricey, though the bill added up as we stayed for more than we went in for. The escalope was fantastic - real German cuisine but not too heavy! Only criticism is that service was a little patchy and some tables are too close - we moved in between.
