Richmond Cafe Bistro in Edinburgh, City of

Really delicious and authentic Turkish/Scottish breakfast and coffee! 😍 and the staff were all so friendly! Would really recommend!

Stopped here for a bunch (veggie breakfast and bagel with eggs with accompanying tea and coffee). Food was above expectation, in particular the fried eggs were perfectly cooked for our taste!

Great food, great service, very welcoming and accommodating. The Sucuk was excellent.

Brilliant service, brilliant food, brilliant place.

Everything was beautiful. The atmosphere is very good, the food is high quality and delicious. Friendly service.

Brilliant place to dine in with your 4 legged - dogs!! Good food! Friendly folks!! Neat and fresh. Yummy desserts!!😊

Picked up a veggie panini for a hike to the Arthur’s seat. It was made fresh and so tasty! Was the perfect meal after the hike to enjoy with a view. Reasonable prices and lovely service!

Drank coffee and ate panini. Both were delicious.

Excellent, very friendly service and superb Mezze. Great value. Thoroughly recommend and will return

Popped in to get a take away scone on the way home. Was charged £4, yip, I just thought this better be the best scone ever. It wasn't, it came toasted (no idea why) other than to disguise the fact it was dry and dense. With a portion of jam and butter. It looked nothing like a scone, tasted nothing like a scone was inedible and went in the bin. Will stick to the ones round the corner in Kilimanjara they are delicious and cheaper even to sit in an eat. A shame as the food people were eating looked good.

Interesting food with a Greek/ Mediterranean twist. Good service with reasonable prices. Idea for a quick lunch while attending the festival

What a great wee place! Clean, friendly staff, lovely Greek style food, but also paninis, fries etc. Great prices. Would recommend if you're near Pleasance Courtyard area. We found this last year & returned while visiting the Fringe this year. Well done to all staff here, we will defo be back!

An all time favorite, which I recommend to anyone who asks for a nice breakfast/brunch place, however I recommend it for any time of day. The food looks and tastes amazing, like handmade with love. Will brighten your day if you're having a bad one and will make your day even better if you're having a good one!

Brilliant , staff excellent , coffee delicious - thank you :)

Being named after the street it's on it may not be super obvious by the name but this is a Greek cafe/restaurant. And a good one. Its nice and casual, cafe vibes by day but open for dinner/drinks etc as well. Pretty standard Greek menu, all very delicious and served quickly by friendly folks. the leafy tomato plants growing in the sunny window is a nice touch. make sure you get desert. I don't know what it's called but if you ask for the "custardy pastry thing cut into squares" they will bring you something what dreams are made of.

delicious Turkish food very near bridges and pleasance

Stopped in for a hearty breakfast before a day at the Fringe. Seated straight away by lovely staff, ordered the menemen and sujuk and they were outstanding! Plentiful portions of fresh and incredibly tasty food with excellent pitta bread. Really set us up for the day ahead. We'd definitely recommend and will be back next chance we get!

Fantastic food and Turkish coffee, and great service from Adar!

Everything I have ordered here has exceeded my expectations

Brilliant fry up and a great and reasonable price. Would always recommend.

Went there for French toast, but the woman working there forgot to order it. The chicken kebab was ok, but the French toast was dry and not very good. Also, the woman serving us was in a rush to go - I got there there before 6pm and she immediately said they were closing at 6.30pm! It clearly states 7pm closing time. Service from the woman working there was terrible.

We’ve had a wonderful lunch, with fresh products and friendly staff. Coffee was good, place was very clean! Terrace outside was nice in the sun.

What a fantastic find! Huge variety of breakfasts available. The full Scottish was amazing. Freshly cooked, quality ingredients. Really tasty food. Excellent service (and really good coffee!) Very happy to recommend.

Lived in Edinburgh for two years and felt like a fool for not having been here earlier. Soooo good! Great atmosphere, great food, good service, and all for a good price. We’ll be coming back.

Wonderful little café with a great selection of food (including vegetarian options) - there is something for every taste here, from the extensive breakfast to the main meals. The service is friendly and helpful - I would recommend it again and again!

Was here for a late lunch with my partner on a Sunday. The restaurant/café has a strong local reputation. Some outdoor seating available, the interior seemed well decorated but there are already flying insects about in Spring. Food was nice. I liked the creamy broccoli pasta that I had. My partner really enjoyed their chicken kabab which came with (a not-at-all thick) tzatziki sauce. The smoothies they offer were nice too. I'm not sure if they're made from scratch onsite, but it was frozen, mixed, then served to you. Great texture. A do-not-miss here is their Thessalonikan pie. They don't make a big deal about it on the menu, but.. *I'm not telling you*. Definitely get it if you're after something Greek and sweet. Service was friendly and staff were keen to explain some of the menu items. The only thing was that I had to ask for an itemised bill which they were happy to provide.

amazing food and really nice staff :)

Nice place to have a coffee and breakfast. Very friendly, especially with the tourists. The place in close to the old town, so it's a good point to start your visit of Edinburgh. I recommend, and the prices are not so crazy like in other places.

Friendly staff, however my latte tasted a bit burnt and I was disappointed at their cake selection. Lovely outdoor seating available.

If you want to eat Scottish and Turkish dishes, this is the place. 7 minutes from the Royal Mile, this place is perfect to start the day. They recommend dishes and you can meet incredible people. It's worth coming. It is also per friendly and you can learn about different varieties of coffee preparation.

Their vegan Meze was delicious! Portions are quite big, went for large meze and was quite a big plate!

Our favourite breakfast spot, simply (perfection)

Ate here with my husband and daughter. I ordered the “Egg florentine” which was not at all what I got. The menu said it had spinach, red peppers and onions with 3 eggs. It was actually 90% spinach, almost no egg at all, and an odd mix of vegetables like lima beans, carrot, corn, green beans, and it was swimming in water at the bottom and topped with green olives. It was not good, and not at all what was described on the menu. To make matters worse, I got food poisoning from eating here as well. The environment was nice enough, but would not recommend this place. Edit: I’m not sure how else to reply to the response I got from the owner so hopefully this gets to you. I came in yesterday. Yes I had the egg florentine, my husband had the Scottish Breakfast and we got a pot of tea as well. My daughter and husband felt fine, but I got severely sick about two hours after eating here.

Really pleasant cafe for breakfast / lunch plenty of options. Only tip for them to include in the menu dessert / sweet pastry as small nibble :)

My Son and I had a delicious brunch again at this hidden gem. Lovely food and surroundings. Would love to try a main meal here one day. Really friendly place.

Always brilliant. Fresh, healthy food and friendly service.

Véritable petit déjeuner écossais. Cappuccino au top. Ambiance chaleureuse. Très bien pour le petit déjeuner

Nice quaint cafe with great food ◡̈ Especially the chicken schnitzel - mushroom cream sauce made it super tasty and the chicken has a crunch and is not dry. The pancakes were great - if you like dense pancakes, this would be for you. We ordered 3 drinks and 4 mains at the price of £50.

I have seen mouse here and not clean! It's over priced as well. Have Involved the city council if Edinburgh.

Very nice place. The owner is so friendly and the service is great. The food was delicious and the coffee is proper 👌 I'm looking forward to coming here again the next time I'm in Edinbugh. A nice, friendly place to sit and relax.

Amazing Turkish coffee & the server was soooo sweet! Thanks.

Very friendly staff, tasty food and great value for money. Had the wee breakfast with a pot of tea and soya milk.

Best coffee and foods in town, amazing hospitality and friendly staff, I really recommended

Absolutely stunning brilliant marvelous place with wonderful people and great food.

Petit café de quartier très sympa. Ça change des grandes chaînes. On a pris 2 fois le petit déjeuner. Les gens sont très gentils et serviables. Copieux et bon.

I cannot recommend enough! They have a lovely variety of food that is delicious and great value for money - so many options too! The staff and owner are all very helpful and friendly - always make you feel at home. The cafe itself is very cozy and clean - by far my favourite place in town. Highly recommend!

Friendly atmosphere with delicious meze! Great value for money

Yummy! Especially love the chicken schnitzel! 😋 I am not sure why they gave potato fries instead of the usual potato chips though. I'd have liked that better.

Great cappuccino and lots of different varieties. Was actually a nice place to go and sit which isn't too far from Arthur's Seat. Most of the coffee shops I walked past were full of tourists. It was refreshing to find this place for a nice quiet coffee and chill.

A lovely cafe with great food (and also a great price)❤️ My very first time having Cous Cous, and this was a good experience. It’s mildly seasoned but still flavorful. There are many veggies and chicken in the rice (but the chicken is quite chewy) Salad is so fresh, I love it so much😻 The pitta bread is also perfect in every single way! *This is quite a big portion of the meal (with so MANY fries) This is a good place for reading or working! The cafe is quiet and there are sockets under most of the tables. Overall, this is a cafe I would definitely recommend!

I found the waitress very pleasant and gracious. The cafe appeared very clean although it seemed that some product was making the tables sticky, which felt a bit awkward. A good range of hot drinks was on offer, although, if you want to be heated up, I recommend specifying that you want the drink to be extra hot when ordering it.

Decentgreat wee cafe. Its a regular meeting place of mine

This is a fantastic place where my brother and I regularly meet. The coffee is Great and the People who serve are lovely. We also sit outside on good days and enjoy the atmosphere.

My kids and I love it here. Food is amazing and the staff are really nice. Son says best hummus and pita bread ever!

Great coffee, tea, and sweets! A must-visit if looking for a nice cafe outside of the Royal Mile hustle and bustle

Amazing food, the Turkish/Arabic dishes are particularly amazing, and the coffee. The people are also lovely.

Super kuchnia z Bliskoego Wschodu, można tutaj zjeść śniadanie i obiad z potrawami z basenu Morza Śródziemnego, oraz krajów znajdujących się dalej na wschód. Warto spróbować kawy, ponieważ jest ona przygotowywana w tradycyjny turecki sposób. Obsługa w porządku, pomogła nam ogarnąć stolik na zewnątrz dla 3 osób i potem doglądała czy wszystko jest okey. Ceny w porządku, za śniadanie z kawką wychodzi trochę mniej niż 20£. Lokalizacja jest okey, 15 minut spacerku od królewskiej mili, ale widać z niej tron Artura, więc można wypić kawkę z pięknym widokiem.

This little gem of a place is fantastic. The staff are super attentive and the food is amazing. Would absolutely recommend adding this to your list to try out. They are also very dog friendly 🐶

Maybe could have had a bigger selection of cakes and muffins.

Gutes Essen, griechische Küche, nette und freundliche Bedienung

Amazing food and just the best service. The best cafe/Bistro in The Southside of Edinburgh, without a doubt.

We love this cafe! The food as absolutely delicious. Best to get there early or late for lunch, as it is popular! Plenty tables outside if the sun is shining. Wasp season is starting though, so we opted for an inside table. Staff were busy and sometimes took a bit of time to get back to us, but not a real problem. Highly recommend.

They are always packed so I was wondering how good it is. Ordered scottish breakfast and it was good and very fulfilling! Might be a little greasy for me though.. especially for the mushroom and the potato. will try another dish next time

Always friendly and welcoming. Nice to sit outside with an awning for when it's rainy or too sunny. Generous coffee cups. Generous servings of food and cake.

Best cafe I’ve visited in a long time. Fantastic service, very friendly and food was quality.

Muy buen sitio para desayunar, todo muy bueno, no es barato pero vale la pena para coger fuerzas para visitar la ciudad. Tan bueno que tuvimos que volver al siguiente día

Wow! Some of the best coffee you can buy in Edinburgh and at a great cost. (Actual good coffee - not bitter) super cute quiet corner where u can read in the sunshine or hot tea inside when it’s raining (twilight vibes). (The iced sweet coffee is so creamy and yummy and foamy) and vegan options.

Lovely place, great food and coffee. Came for family brekkie and everyone really enjoyed it. Will be back again, and again.

The place is quite busy but I was always warmly welcomed by the staffs. At the same time it’s surprising how the team manages the whole cafe with a huge variety of menu when they have such a compact kitchen. And my go-to menu, Medium meze, never fails. I regularly crave for their sautéed spinach. Well, there are reasons if a place is always so bustling😋

Very beautiful little cafe. The food was very good and the service very friendly. Would recommend it to everyone. And the Pancakes were sooo good☺️

Found this family run cafe on our last day and what a delight, food and customer care very good, highly recommend.

Very friendly service. Nice food at reasonable prices

Hi All, We had an amazing and perfect #Sunday lunch here. We ordered meze and spinach borek portions are very big and soo delicious. Well recommended this cafe!! Very good food, service and atmosphere. So lovely staff.

It is a cooconing restaurant. The atmosphere is very relax and People are so friendly. It is a very good place to eat.

친절하고 맛있어요 저는 샐러드랑 딸기쨈만 좀 추가했으면 완벽했겠다 라고 생각했어요

I had the Wee Breakfast, and it was delicious! Service was friendly and efficient- may be the best brunch I have had at a reasonable price. Definitely returning.

Fantastic cafe! Great traditional Greek food! Warm friendly staff. I cannot recommend them enough.

Nice coffee,friendly staff and nice place to enjoy your drink and relax with friends

We enjoyed our breakfast, I recommend to order the turkish sucuk. The portion was generous, so it is a heavy breakfast.

Super leckeres Essen, Preis-Leistungsverhältnis top, nette Bedienung. Wir haben das Café leider erst an unserem letzten Tag entdeckt, waren dafür aber gleich zweimal an einem Tag da. Ansonsten wären wir wahrscheinlich jeden Tag vorbeigekommen. Der kleine Abstecher von den Hauptstraßen lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Trotzdem ist man schnell an anderen Attraktionen wie dem Holyrood Park. Das Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich und der Laden sauber. Bei unserem nächsten Trip nach Edinburgh, kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder!

We come here quite often, as there are tables outside to sit in the sun and it's really pleasant. The staff are nice, and the food good. I particularly like getting meze - a little bit of lots of different Turkish dishes. Very filling - if I have it for lunch I can skip dinner! There is plenty of non Turkish food too, and it's nice. I like to get a cafetiere of the Columbian coffee, it's very smooth

Amazing place! Tasty food, feels like home

Lovely people, great food and coffees, Sucuk absolutely amazing.

Good Turkish tea, busy atmosphere and friendly polite staff.

Great food. Scottish dishes but try the Turkish food-I loved the meze platter. And the owner is very nice, we chatted a bit as I had visited the area of Turkey he is from.

I like how the haggis was cooked.

The place is very nice, looks new. The food is plenty and tastes amazing. The people are very friendly.

Stopped by this adorable local cafe while visiting Edinburgh for the weekend. The french toast with bacon was delicious! I also ordered the menemen, which didn’t look appealing at first glance but it turned out to be really good & full of flavor!

Super leckeres Frühstück, schön eingerichtet, waren alle begeister!

Came here while visiting my Son at Uni. I had delicious porridge and my Son had the French toast. Absolutely delicious food, friendly staff and it was spotless. Go before everyone else finds it. Ps...had no change to leave a tip...sorry 😁 we will be back though!

Stayed in a nearby hotel & visited for breakfast twice. Food is delicious, friendly staff & reasonable prices. They have a great breakfast selection plus a lunch menu too. Well worth a visit, off the beaten track

Richmond Cafe is my favorite comfort cafe nearby the University of Edinburgh campus. They are sometimes busy for very good reason, the coffee is some of the best in town and the food is also great. They server Turkish classics as well as other British foods. My favorite dish is the chicken schnitzel which is super filling and flavorful, fried chicken cutlet with a creamy mushroom sauce. I also love getting their baklava with a coffee. They have a beautiful family and dog friendly environment, free Wi-Fi and affordable prices. There are also big natural light windows that can be used to enjoy a nice day or people watch while you stay. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and will let you into their cafe with open arms and smile when they see you outside if you become a regular, even if you don’t come in. Thank you Richmond Cafe for being the star of the main campus area of Edinburgh and one of the best cafes in town!

It's definitely one of the best breakfast places in Edinburgh

Great place for lunch. Food is amazing, I'd recommend the mezze!

Friendly local cafe with Mediterranean style options

Nice food,staff and pleasant air about the cafe.

Service here was good, I got the french toast and my partner got the bagel sandwich. Their sandwich had weird blue marks on it so that was not great. My meal was delicious. Also, their Frozen Toffee was great.

good options for brunch, ranging from vegetarian and scotland breakfasts to turkish and greek options too, such as spanakopitas and the moussakes. This is a place with nice interiors and good customer service experience. Hot drinks and juices were very well prepared as well. This is not too expensive and our average bill was 12 gbp per person.

Espectacular comida mediterránea, sabrosa y variada. Muy buen precio y servicio. Probamos el plato de cordero, algunos paninis y la ensalada griega. Comimos mucho. Los postres también muy bien con almíbar, canela. Riquísimo.

The best Turkish coffee in Edinburgh with a wide variety of breakfast from Scottish, English, continental and Turkish. Plenty choices and good stop after a hike to Arthur's seat.
