Was an inviting little bistro and thought why not. I was tempted for a cheeseburger and thought why not give it a try. The beef was a little different but it was good. I can say that the fries from Ireland and Scotland have been so much better than what I get back in the states, they just taste so great here. I was not blown away with the food but it was OK.

Went here recently, the food was excellent. The service however was very poor. Was not asked once how the meal was, not during or after the food. The I assume, owner was too busy watering the plants in the yard outside to pay attention to the customers, felt very ignored and left a child to deal with and pay our bill to at the counter.

This is a nice cafe just off the Royal Mile. It is furnished with hard, wooden chairs and tables.  The tables are close together making getting in and out of seats a squeeze. If required tables can be rearranged to accommodate larger groups.  There is also a smaller beer garden to the rear.  A good choice of breakfast and lunch is offered - we only had coffee and cakes so can't comment other than to say they were well presented, had good quantities and looked appetising. 😀 The cakes (Red Velvet, Carrot and Marlenka Honey) were lovely and large too. 😋 Something of note is this is a licensed cafe with a few draught beers, ciders, wines and spirits available. Also, it is table service but you pay at the till.  Service was pleasant.

Mary's Cafe Bistro served us one of the finest moussaka's that we had tasted. This cosy cafe has exceptional service and we were well looked after. There is a homely feel to the cafe's set up. Prices are similar to other outlets, which is gratifying as it is located just off The Royal Mile. We left with smiles on our faces.

Be warned, this restaurant is operated by a foreigner who has not been trained in Scottish or English cuisine. We saw “Fish and chips” on the menu and a garden to eat it, so we decided to try it. The garden was nice, but the fish and chips were horrible! The server confirmed it was frozen breaded fish that was thawed and fried. Scottish or English “Fish and Chips” is NEVER frozen and coated in breadcrumbs. It is supposed to be batter dipped fresh fish! The other dish was an entre salad with smoked salmon. You can see the size was extremely small-not enough for a meal. Don’t waste your money here until the chef is better trained and the operator is willing to give people the expected food they paid for

I visited Mary's Cafe Bistro on 5/9/24. I had 2 others with me and we placed our order which was eggs benedict, Mary's special and smoked salad and teax2 1 iced latte. We waited a long time and during that they brought our tea out. As it was so long my tea had gone cold and I asked for it to be refreshed as it wasn't my fault it had gone cold as they served it even before we got our food, and we didn't state that. I was then given fresh tea and to my surprise when I looked at the receipt today I was shocked that they had charged me for the refreshed tea. Any good establishment would not charge you for a replacement of cold tea which was through no fault of your own. I do not think this was very good customer service.

Much appreciated home cooking. And above all, finally a restaurant that offers Scottish lamb. We see sheep in the fields and few restaurants have them on the menu (other than kebabs). Very good lamb chops, like moussaka. Candy pink interior. It feels more like you're entering a tea room than a restaurant.

I had the Scottish breakfast and my partner ordered soup and the steak pie. The breakfast was extremely poor quality and reminiscent of a little chef - pretty expensive for the price. Soup was watery and the steak pie was clearly cooked from frozen. I’m uncertain how there are so many positive reviews. I’d avoid this place.

Discovered this gem of a place through a newspaper recommendation just over a year ago and it did not disappoint. It is truly well deserving of a 5 star + place to eat in Edinburgh ( wish you were in Glasgow) we returned this weekend and had the same amazing dining experience thank you. Fresh ingredients which woke up the taste buds, all prepared by superb chefs while served by a friendly, welcoming young woman who makes you feel at home. 😊
