Been there today with some friends and because we already had lunch somewhere else, we were looking only for a warm place to sit and have a coffee. Been welcomed by someone who you could clearly see she couldn't be bothered working and could barely speak english - as non native British I do understand the struggle, but then hospitality is not the right job for someone who can barely have a conversation with customers. We sat down and ordered a flat white and 2 cappuccinos. I didn't want to be the Karen so I never complaint to them but I had a sip of coffee and tasted like Dish soap. I didn't drink it. But still paid £4.20 for such a disgusting coffee. Left really disappointed and quite annoied for paying something tasting so bad!!! None of us managed to drink the coffee. Food might be good, I don't know as I didn't have any but cakes on display looked awful and coffee was the worse thing I ever had! If you are looking for a coffee, DO NOT COME HERE!!!

Booked a table for 2 here for my daughter’s birthday treat. Cajun chicken and chips ( large and tasty) followed by chocolate cake with ice cream and iced coffee. Food was excellent and very filling. Loved the large chunky chips. Place is a hidden gem.

The behaviour of the man at the till was disgusting. Very mean and very rude. No wonder the cafe was empty. Please learn some customer service. Very disappointing. I obliged to give 1 star because 0 star wasn’t available. Also the ice cream was probably expired, my sister had diarrhoea after having that.

This was a lovely place to relax after a walk along the promenade which was extremely busy aswas the beach but with a bit of a walk got to less busy areas and the Bistro was surprisingly quiet. It was a beautiful sunny day. I just had a pint of Stella Artois which was rather pricey but understandable. But £6.50 is almost London prices and more inkeeping with city centre prices. None the less it was a very pleasant visit. I will definitely call in again next time I'm in the area.

The place is nice and the staff too. But my breakfast wasn't worth it. I would have liked a whole tomato, two sausages and a bit of toast added for the price I paid. Even if it was all organic it would still not be more than 10 pounds for the amount of food. I don't mind that there are limited options for vegans but at least make it worth the money for us. Hopefully in the future they will adjust it a bit.

My wife and I popped in for a quick drink and a snack. We ordered two bottles of beer and a portion of chips. The waitress took the order and asked if we wanted ketchup or vinegar. We said yes and see set the table accordingly. The beers were provided promptly but the was no sign of the chips. After 30 mins I decided to ask for the bill and expressed my disappointment at not receiving the chips. The person at the till took the payment for the beer and asked the other staff who took the original order. The waitress admitted it was her, she was told she didn’t put the order throgh the system and she said ‘my bad’ and walked off. We didn’t receive an apology or explanation, they just carried on as if this appalling service was normal. Don’t be attracted by the location, this is a poor quality cafe pretending to be a bistro.

Great location on Portobello prom, staff were friendly enough and a good choice on the menu. However the food was fairly average, and very expensive for what it is. A fairly average burger and chips with no side salad was £15.00, which is what you might expect to pay in some gourmet places. Just not worth the money.

A nice bistro right at the northern end of Portobello beach. Due to the non-central location, it was much quieter there, which we found very good. The authorities were all very friendly, quick and attentive. If possible, space is also created for larger groups without making the other guests suffer. We had a lovely time there.

Sadly stumbled upon this place at the end of our trip so only managed to visit once for drinks and cake. Lovely cafe / restaurant inside and a nice location overlooking the sea. We only had teas, coffees, wine and cakes so can't comment on the food but the menu did look lovely so we were disappointed we wouldn't get to eat here. The drinks were good, the cakes were delicious and the service was excellent.

A female staff said I can but then I was stopped halfwayby a male staff who shooed me away. I asked again politely explaining the situation but he refused to talk to me and just 'kicked me out'.

Absolutely shocking service didn’t understand what we were ordering had to ask for a latte and the bill twice and got our order wrong . The full portobello breakfast was disgusting 🤢 one sausage which smelt off, under cooked tomato a spars slice of haggis and black pudding and one piece of cheap fatty bacon ,On the waffles we ordered with bananas and it’s came with blueberries . When we arrived the table was sticky and when they wiped it down it stayed sticky . A-swell as all that when we were eating they would linger around us eating . And all of this came to an extortionist price. Would not recommend at all had been the worst breakfast I have ever had , don’t waste ur money there !!

F… this place! I wish I read the reviews before embarking on this awful experience. £6.50 for a scoop of ice cream and a cup of tea. At first I asked to take away as we just went in to use the loo on the Christmas Day. The ambient wasn’t bad I have to admit and there were plenty of tables so I asked if we could sit down for a bit. So he quickly changed the price from £3 to £6.50. Then I tried my tea and it was too sweet; I asked for two sugar, but he probably put two tablespoons of sugar instead. He said all he could do was to add some water. They don’t have a clue on how to deal with customers, honestly, they are from a different world. On top of that, there was also this bigoted woman( also from a different world) with her kids and poor husband going around the place spreading nastiness and ugliness on a Christmas Day. This woman was so rude to my child and myself as she passed by that I nearly exploded in anger and the only thing that prevented me from doing so was that it was Christmas. Don’t come back saying I haven’t warned you! 🥸

The worst place I've ever visited; extremely rude staff. We purchased drinks for take away as there were no available tables. Later, a table opened up, so we sat down to enjoy our drinks. However, we were asked to leave when other customers arrived for both drinks and food, under the pretext that the table was reserved – in reality, it was because we weren't ordering food. It was pouring rain that day, and we were forced to leave. I strongly discourage anyone from visiting this place. The manager is extremely rude, he doesn't know how to deal with people and this person will ruin this establishment.
