Not a big place, but lovely choice of genuine homemade soups and bakes. Toasties made to order, also paninis. We'll worth a visit.

This cafe is my first choice for coffee or lunch when in Penicuik. The soup and toasties are excellent and the home baking delicious.

Have eaten here on many occasions recently. Home made soups, scones and bakes. Very, very good. Worth seeking out.

For many years I have used a little café in my corner of France as the bench mark for all “plat du jour”. Now I have found my bench mark in Scotland; the Gallery Café Penicuik. But I’d rather you not spread the word because I love this place. OK, there aren’t that many tables, the room echoes a bit, there is a certain feel of an old fashioned “tea room” but Jenni and her team at this “Community Arts Café” make and bake some fantastic things. We’ve eaten outstanding home-made soups, punching great flavour, thick and comforting. There is a good depth to the mushroom soup and the red pepper & tomato soup is possibly the best we’ve tasted. The toasties {all cheese based} are simple but extremely “moreish”. The homemade “Oaties” are not delicate but dense and chewy with a lovely layer of butter cream in the middle that adds a zing that bounces around the mouth. The customers eat with smiles on their faces whilst mumbling approving words. Everyone leaves their tables content with the world. Value for money; well I’m not sure how they can be so competitive. Large bowl of soup and a scone for only £3.50. Buy a bag of 3 scones from the freezer for only 50p. Cakes will set you back a massive £1.30. Come on, get real. This is a fabulous place; the bench mark for all of Scotland. Food: 8/10 Coffee: 6/10 Value for Money: 10/10 Service: 9/10

This is a pleasant place to visit with lovely, friendly staff. Lovely soup & cakes, too. There is a small gallery within the cafe area and a lovely little gift shop upstairs.....It's not always open though, so best to ask about it.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Royal whilst working in Penicuik. From the minute I arrived I was made to feel unbelievably welcome from the brilliant staff and owners . The food was absolutely unreal with an excellent choice of both classic pub grub and others with a bit of a twist. Looking for an excuse to be in the area with my family so I can go back again to say hello . Thank you so much for having me

152 High Street, Dalkeith EH22 1AY ScotlandOn Friday night I made an online order of 5 items through Just Eat to collect. On getting home I discovered only 3 of the 5 items were in the bag. Called to try and sort out and was promised a call back in a few seconds. Got the call back in 30 minutes. Didn’t offer to deliver but offered a refund on missing items which I refused and said I thought a full refund would be more in order. Was told only Nico could authorise but he wasn’t in and would call me next day. Nico didn’t call on the Saturday so I phoned to be told he’d been in but had now left and would call me on Sunday. No call back on Sunday. What a poor way to run a business. Won’t be using this place again and neither will anyone I’ve told.

80 Main StreetUpdating my original review from a few years go - Two cask ales, always in excellent condition, usually from a local brewery. Highly recommend the food too.

68 Hunterfield RoadVisited as a family group of 5 and everyone had nothing but good things to say on the journey home. Already showing signs of improvement since the recent takeover, particularly with presentation. Manager stated their plans to introduce a few more steak and seafood dishes with an onus on local, fresh sourced ingredients. Will definitely be back to sample the new menu whenever it gets launched. The drinks selection was limited but I'm sure this is something they will address. Images are the brie starter and beef burger with added haggis and cheese. Both very tasty. Only slight negative was the bun was a bit dry/stale
