Le Petit Café in Edinburgh, City of

Typical French staff throughout who enjoy explaining food to you. Delicious food and don't feel rushed. Warning, you must book

Friendly staff and great pancakes:)

Amazing place to go I would recommend 10/10

Very sweet Café, delicious food, my favorite place in Edinburgh to have a nice & quiet breakfast/brunch

Great service and very tasty bagels to choose from. The brie one with rosemary fries was fantastic

An extremely warm welcome from the owners of the place. A completely charming place with perfectly mastered cuisine for a good breakfast. Thank you for your smiles, see you soon.

Lovely place, lovely food. Whole experience was marred by the fact that they assumed we would tip, and also assumed how much by and included it in the bill. Lacked class. Update 13/10/24: Unfortunately, I absolutely have the right place. We were there in the third week of August 2023. There was a service charge included. We sat by the counter and my girlfriend who is half-french struck up a conversation with the owner who was from Normandy (or Brittany). Hopefully, it's no longer being done, which is good to hear.

It is now more of a bagel shop than a brunch place. The bagel was excellent but a bit small. The pancakes were great! Prices are also very reasonable. They did not have coffee however, but I believe it was a one-off occurrence.

Sadly this restaurant doesn’t exist anymore. It is now a more American style bagel place.

the food was so so good there was many options and the atmosphere of the place was really nice

The cafe has kindly accommodated a large group order - the communication was great, Mathias was very responsive, the menu selection was suitable for vegans and they also do gf bagels on request! On collection everything went very smoothly too, with the order well packed and all bagels labelled. The food went down very well with everyone and I'm being asked to do a group order again. Thank you so much Mathias and team! :)

Chef was cute, would eat here again.

Fantastic food and lovely people. We felt right at home. Had a breakfast bagel today and will try the pancakes tomorrow. Combine with great coffee and you are ready for the day ahead.

ATTENTION! Unfortunately, you won't find Le Petit Cafe on site, but a Ben's Bagel franchise. The restaurant's equipment, atmosphere and food absolutely do not correspond to the photos from previous reviews. It's a completely different establishment where you get subpar coffee in paper cups and food on a plastic tray. It is unfair even from the owner, if he still attracts very well-rated businesses, but the reality is completely different.

My first bagle. And it was safe to say the best. Taste was really as i expected. Actually i did not. Since we indians needs a higher punch of salt and masala in our food. But they did without these. My wife had pancakes with maple syrup and she confirmed that it was one of the best experiences Overall expenditure: 22 pounds

We were in Edinburgh for 5 days and 3 of those 5 days we ate breakfast here. The owner is very nice, the service is great and the food is really good. I‘ve tried a Bagel as well as the pancakes and both were delicious. The coffee is also really good. They also have good music playing. Definitely recommend going here! :)

Food & Drinks were amazing and the server so friendly and welcoming. Must visit if you are ever in Edinburgh :)

Had unreal pancakes and great coffee. Great atmosphere and super reasonable price! ❤️

Cozy and well-furnished place. The staff is very kind; we arrived just before closing time, but they served us with great speed and courtesy. The bagels were delicious, as were the crepes. Definitely worth a visit.

We came here for breakfast thinking it was a French restaurant but it isn't anymore, which was really confusing. They didn't have any of the pictures here on the menu. It's now called Ben's cafe, just selling bagels and American pancakes, no pastries or crêpes. The pancakes we had were nice, but I couldn't drink the cappuccino.

Really good coffee and food, with a relaxed atmosphere. Fantastic place!

We went there twice during our holiday in Edinburgh. Very charming and warm place with owners who listen to their customers and are very pleasant. Delicious pancakes, I recommend +++

Very friendly staff and the dishes are very good. Perfect breakfast 👌🏻

Friendly, tasty, great choice of bagels an pancakes. They make better than brunch in paris!

The place no longer exists and has been turned into a bagel shop.

This place changed from Le Petit Cafe to a bagel shop.

Very nice place, people very patient with costumers, very good breakfast

Rainy day, very few customers and refuse service to solo travellers, presumably because it makes less money. Cold hearted especially at Christmas! For kinder service, I suggest L’etoile Salon de tea on west port street nearby. Also French but service with a smile.

Dec 2023 Christmas menu was quiet nice and cute Service fee included in bill, please noticed

Fantastic establishment, would definitely recommend

Overrated. Good food, below average coffee, good service. Got a spilled, poorly made flat white and a laughable espresso.

Amazing food! Best pancakes I have had. And so dog friendly. My dog got biscuits, cream and water ❤️

An amazing place to go with your friends

Came here for breakfast. A lovely stop before a busy day. Staff were lovely and friendly. The cafe was easy to get to and within a short walk (10mins) of Edinburgh castle. The food was delicious, the only thing we might not order again was the latte.

Had a lovely breakfast here in this small French Cafe. Was something for everyone I think, and the Galettes were really good! A little on the pricey side for breakfast, but was great. Only thing that let it down was the coffee - wasn't great and the Baristas steamed milk was too frothy for what I'd expect of a bog-standard flat white.

No entiendo porque tiene buena calificación este lugar. Pedimos dos sándwiches, uno de ellos regular, el otro (Le club sándwich) estaba exageradamente condimentado o con exceso de mostaza, estamos acostumbrados a sabores fuertes pero esto definitivamente estaba mal preparado; la mesera nos preguntó si todo estaba bien a lo que respondimos amablemente que el sándwich tenía un sabor muy fuerte , muy cerca de nosotros estaba el gerente o dueño, escuchó el comentario y la mesera también se lo fue a comentar a lo que el gerente o dueño solo le respondió con un gesto despectivo. Los cafés están regular en preparación, no acorde con los precios. No recomiendo este lugar ni por la calidad de sus alimentos ni por la atención e incluyen el 10% de propina en la cuenta.

Great cafe for breakfast and brunch. Good selections of drinks

Fabulous french petit déjuner. Took me back to the summer in Marseille.

Very nice. A warmed croissant and creamer cappuccino would have improved the experience.

Love this cafe. Great food and lovely staff. They are dog friendly and treat the dogs as well as the human customers with a wee blanket and a tray of goodies for them!

Lovley place to go and have some lovley creps

Great coffee, great crepes, great service!

Pancakes and salmon for breakfast. Nomm Nomm Nomm. Get in ma belly.

Food was excellent, but the atmosphere between the staff wasn't nice. I had a feeling like I would be there not welcome. Will not go back.

a cozy place with tasty food and amazing drinks

Great place!! Hot chocolate to die for!

This small cozy Café is absolutely beautiful. We appreciated our stay there and the staff was super friendly! The food and also the Pumpkin Pie Latte was very tasty. I can recommend it to everyone visiting Edinburgh. Enjoy.

The atmosphere is bright and airy, with large glass windows. The shop is decorated with seasonal decorations. The crepes are delicious!

We had a lovely late lunch here today, the galettes were delicious. Merci!

Great experience. lovely clean restaurant/cafe. Pleasant staff. Excellent food and service.. Will be back soon.

Good choice of crepes and tea. Need a bit of walking from city Center but it worths it. A nicely decorated restaurant with good/friendly services.

We’ve been traveling around the UK + Ireland for a little over a week. We’ve had breakfast every day we’ve been here and this is by far the BEST we’ve had. The croissants are light, fluffy, and delicious especially the Nutella one. I also had a ham & cheese crepe, incredible. A very cute cafe with good service and good coffee! Definitely stop by here! The food pictured is ham & cheese crepe, Nutella croissanr, kinder crepe, and bacon croissant. As well as a cappuccino.

Delicious food with friendly service and a warm environment.

The food was delicious and the place was very cozy. The music was great too.

Venus pour les vacances de Toussaint à Édimbourg, période d'halloween : complètement dans le thème! Décorations au top. Cuisine française, gérants français, ce fut un soulagement pour notre anglais désastreux ! Nous avons passé un agréable moment . Thks

This place serves the best crepes! The staff members were super helpful, friendly and caring, you could see their smiles through the mask. I felt like home straight away. The waiting time is very short despite the place being totally full. Upon entrance you get your hands sanitised. The venue is absolutely lovely, clean and welcoming. This also includes the unisex toilet - clean and big (wheelchair friendly). I had a savory crepe as well as a sweet one. Price / value = 100% matching. I enjoyed the pumpkin spice latte which was on the menu this month (autumn!) several other autum specialities too I defo recommend. I highly recommend this place because not only the food has been incredibly tasty but also the service has been second to none.

Ganz nettes kleines Café! Sehr freundliche Bedienung, liebevoll dekoriert!

A wonderful and quaint cafe in Edinburgh. It is very clean, and the staff is so pleasant. We ordered two galettes to share: Complète and Tatin. YUM. We enjoyed both. The Complète was our favorite. The egg on top was a nice addition. I ordered their autumn herbal tea which was the best tea I’ve ever had. Even though the tea wasn’t available for purchase, our server sent me home with a tea bag—such a sweet gesture!

BEST PANCAKES EVER! We orderd the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup and also the banana with caramel sauce, was lovely, fresh and light. 100%recommended will be back

Very nice café! Delicious food and great and friendly service!

에딘버러를 떠나기 전 급히 검색하여 찾아낸 맛집. 영국 여행이다보니 영국식 브랙퍼스트나 스콘 등을 생각했지만 르 프띠를 방문하고 새로운 경험을 하게된 것 같아 매우 만족스러웠다. 시간의 여유가 좀 더 있었다면 다른 음료도 마셔보고 싶었는데 아쉬웠다.

I’m disappointed since this place has high reviews. I ordered the Norwegian crepe. It was dry and over cooked. The salmon was too salty. My friend ordered the pumpkin pie latte and could only taste artificial sugar in her drink.

A lovely place to stop for breakfast. The Pumpkin pie latte and Normandy crepe were wonderful.

Great coffee great food and lovely staff .

Came for a birthday breakfast. Extensive crepe options and a variety of other breakfast items. The pancakes also looked delightful as did the set breakfast menu. The hot chocolate was mounded with cream and mellows! Couldn't be happier with this cute cafe. Extra points for tactful Halloween decor!

A perfect little slice of France.

Pictured is the G.O.A.T. and Ham & cheese savoury crêpes. We were walking around Edinburgh and were looking for a last minute breakfast spot that offered gluten free options. Staff was very friendly and the crepes were yummy.

Great restaurant, I have been several times and was never disappointed. The food is great and authentic, the staff is always lovely, and the atmosphere is relaxed

Amazing crepes! Better than a British brunch place.

Beautiful little French café, with friendly service and a good but not overwhelming choice of small French dishes. Nice quality of food and the decor is lovely. We'll worth a try.

Merci pour l'accueil Marion!!! Elle a été adorable avec nous. De bons conseils pour visiter la ville. Patiente et arrangeante dans les choix. On y trouve du jus d'orange pressé frais 👍🏻 Des galettes et crêpes pour changer des sandwichs anglais, c'est super comme idée 😉

Da visitare se si passa a Edimburgo per un viaggio nello stile e nel gusto, ma occhio al conto 😉

Fabulous pistachio royal crêpes! Might be the best desert I’ve ever tasted!

Lovely cafe, good value crepes. Only issue was the axe throwing place next door was very loud and somewhat changed the vibe

We very much enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious and all staff were friendly.

I thought the crepes were over cooked and too well down. I would have preferred then lighter and not so crispy.

We hebben heerlijk gegeten , de staff was perfect, mooie zaak, met recht 5 sterren, hoop ooit nog eens terug te komen.

Heerlijk eten! Alles vers gemaakt. Goede sfeer, erg gezellig. Vriendelijk personeel

Absolutely lovely establishment! We had breakfast there twice during our stay in Edinburgh. Savory crepes and gelettes that melt in your mouth. Tea and coffee offerings were by far the best we've sampled so far. So many places over steep the tea, but thankfully they brought the tea bag to me on the side so I could steep for the optimum flavor.

Cute little french breakfast spot :) the staff were kind and friendly. Food was great. Menu had interesting options. Coffee was pretty good, not the best, but good. Overall it was enjoyable and I would go back.

Perfect start to a wonderful day. The hostess was très charmante. Will definitely call again when in Edinburgh.

I had been once before and enjoyed the experience and the gluten free dark chocolate crepe so much that I went back with my husband for lunch. I was not disappointed as it was just as good as my first experience. Great service and delicious gluten free options.

Delicious galette and crêpe, lovely staff, thank you very much.

Perfectly nice experience. Crepes as good as you’d expect, and nice service.

Quick lunch stop with a colleague - one had galette, the other had crepes with smoked salmon and avocado. Very tasty, lovely staff and quick service

Only had a chance to eat here once, but easily the best breakfast we had the entire trip to Edinburgh. Must go!

Really French, really good and Cosy!

Unquestionably this is one of the best lunch places in Edinburgh. Authentic galettes and crepes with a variety of fillings and a friendly and efficient service -a credit to the young owners

Super endroit pour galette ou crêpe et bien d’autres succulentes choses : idéalement placé avant la visite du château d’Édimbourg : je recommande vivement L’accueil et la qualité sont au rendez-vous Super expérience !

Had a lovely lunch here in this beautiful cafe today. It was a very wet day in Edinburgh but the wonderful galettes, crepes and orangina in its original shaped bottles made it feel like we were in France for an hour. Service was fab and everything was very clean. Not a spare table to be had today and easy to see why. Would highly recommend.

Decorated with chandeliers and white tone, Le petit cafe brings simple but pleasant vibe. The savory crepe, I tried, named Parisian (Ham cheese and egg etc) is my crush. The bitterness and indelicacy from side salad slightly,well in my opinion, attenuates the overall dish. The dessert crepes, I think, are their pride. Mine is a classic with sugar and lemon which tastes sour and sweet, strange but novel and refreshing. The Bueno one is my friend’s favorite with multi textures. He seems to love it very much. The service and staffs are very patient full of service minds. The crepes are served quickly as well. I recommend you visit on weekdays for lunch deals as it will be savvier. Weekends still crowded as well. Bon appetite.

Excellent food !! True to name ..

We had breakfast here 2 times and the food was really nice. I had one day the healthy yoghurt and another day the savoury crêpe. Nice portions. The hot chocolate is delicious. We didn’t book so walk-ins were okay. The cafeteria became really busy afterwards.

Had a truly excellent breakfast here.

Une belle adresse à Édimbourg, je recommande

Милое французкое кафе, очень уютно, вкусная еда.

Magnifique petite crêperie tenue par des Français. Les crêpes salées comme sucrées sont excellentes. Nous reviendrons ! (Peut-être en Automne) 😅

Very sophisticated place with a French touch in the heart of Edinburgh. My friend and I stopped here for a breakfast during our trip to Scotland and wow, we loved the place and what we were offered! Croissants were heavenly made, croustillants yum.. real fresh orange juice and nice pancakes. Je vous remercie pour votre excellent service et à très bientôt

Really overrated horrible coffee

Un parfait petit restaurant qui pour une fois "french crêperie " ne rime pas avec piège à touristes. Merci pour cette belle découverte.
