Scotts in the park in Edinburgh, City of

as stated in title we had some difficulty finding the location as it was set above the road below. once found it met our hunger and poached eggs hit the spot. well done

We popped in as a family of 4 for a brunch last week. The service was friendly and attentive and the food tasty. We enjoyed a selection from the menu including the haggis, Neeps & tatties, haggis Bon Bons, cranachan, cheese platter- all were great. Would definitely recommend and return.

Era un lugar pequeño y agradable, pero la comida no era la mejor y el personal nos apuraba, así que en el parque me detendría, pero sobre todo no lo elegiría como una opción prefabricada.

Las mejores vistas en Edimburgo y Great Coffee, la calle Lucas Ce Cream y las hormigas para hacer hormigas en el lugar no se compran en una opción saludable y corporativa tan agradable.

Interesting Non Corporate Baguettes and Snacks with Barista Coffee , All Fresco Bar ideal for Sunny days

Great Service and Fresh fast food Lovely Brunch beside the Ross Fountain on a Spring Day - Best View in Edinburgh

Basically a fast food joint. But serves its purpose for a fast quick rice ball or sandwich and a drink.

As the name implies, Scotts is located right in Princes Street Gardens. I can’t speak to the food here, but we had a stellar experience. My daughter got an ice cream cone and my wife and I each grabbed a pint of some nice Swedish beer (£5 each). Here’s the thing about this place: Around back are comfortable folding beach chairs on the grassy hillside. You get a free hour rental of the chairs with any cafe purchase. So you can sit back amid the tranquility of the park and drink a beer while gazing up at one of the best possible views of Edinburgh Castle which exist. This is the way to go after a log day seeings the sights of the city. It is hard to beat in terms of relaxing spots to drink a beer.

I had a lovely cheese and ham Arancini ball and they heated it up for me . Kids had slush pups £2 each for small but they actually were quite big looking to me, cone of small chips £2.50. We had a sugar donut and cookie which were average really . The gluten free Belgian choc brownie was lovely . Coffee nice . Of course expect to pay more for the location but it’s handy to have it there . Would do well to have a kids meal deal here like a slush and chips or home baking etc for a set price . Park within eyesight of the seating here and plenty of additional benches around and of course the grass when it’s dry . Public toilets a 2 min walk away . Train bridge 30 sec walk away to wave and watch the trains go under .

Dirty tables rude staff no organisation served people from the back of the queue and ignored a lady in a wheelchair we had to tell the staff the lady was waiting to be served A long wait for our order and expensive and what a poor example to our visiting tourists

See other reviews really pounding this place and I get were they are coming from; but I had the hotdog (£3.50) it was fine I knew what I was going to get, coffee was better! This places location however is good and on a rainy afternoon it had shelter to sit outside with the pooch and wait for the other half of our party visiting the gallery. I thought the staff were pleasant.

To say how great the location is, it’s is really wasted on this business. Staff are very unfriendly, not rude but just not welcoming at all. Drinks are fine, but food is stale and just generally unpleasant. Would really be best for another business to open in the park to give them some competition

Have eaten here a few times with the kids and always disappointing. Bog standard deep fried offerings and the burgers are dreadful. Expensive into the bargain and Scotts just capitalises on tourists and the location. Walk a little further and you can find much better places to grab a bite to eat , drink or an ice-cream. Avoid.

Popped in for a drink and snack with the family and our drinks wine and beer were served in cheap plastic cups. The wine was also a miniature and not from a full bottle. Very disappointing given the prices were higher than most bars in the city. The whole set up is a bit cheap and nasty

Visited in November. Got a questionable hot dog, awful fries and two cookies. It was expensive but for location you accept. The cookies although sold as cookies were apparently not cookies. Some kind of Italian biscuit sold as a cookie. Kids hated them but there you go. Hot dog was over priced and lacking taste, the fries were hard and inedible. I can only assume they were reheated but the quality was very poor. I did raise at time but the customer is not always right. Would not go back under any circumstances

Staff were very rude, the food and drink was expensive and nothing special. I suspect hygiene is terrible. Go somewhere else for your snacks!

He visitado este sitio debido a la popularidad y también la ubicación. Muy práctico estar justo dentro de los jardines de Princess Street. Asientos es excelente, especialmente porque estaba muy soleado en Edimburgo. Por desgracia, el servicio era muy lento. Pedimos café y sólo había leche descremada completo!! No es bueno en absoluto, muy decepcionados.

Visitado ayer. Había tomado el perros de la playa y luego a la ciudad para un paseo festival durante todo el año. No hay muchos lugares que usted puede tomar los perros, pero esa es otra historia. Terminamos en la calle Princes, Jardines. Paramos aquí por una hamburguesa y una bebida. £18.10.2 hamburguesas, una botella de agua y una botella de zumo. El personal era amable. Mimó a los perros. Las hamburguesas eran pobres. Eso es todo lo que puedo decir.

Yo iba a Scotts en el parque cerca de Ross de la fuente, fue un día soleado y yo quería sentar y tener algo de comer. Pedí una porción de pescado y patatas fritas en £5.95 - que lamento profundamente.

Si no te importa pagar un poco más, este es un lugar pequeño y encantador para comer, se tienen excelentes vistas del Castillo de Edimburgo, y estás en un pequeño parque que es muy ubicación agradable en verano.

Comimos aquí hoy y £8.95 para cono pequeño de patatas fritas, tarta de fresa con suaves pasteles y una moka. Las patatas fritas estaban bien pero no muchos por el precio, el café era agradable, higo fue una decepción. Dado el costo, esperaba algo mucho...

Paramos a tomar una cerveza y algunos peces y patatas fritas. El vendedor poco es en un parque enorme en la base del Castillo de Edimburgo. La comida estaba bien y la cerveza caliente pero nos encantó el ambiente y la vista.

Cold Hot Dog on a stale roll almost four quid in the bin. Blueberry muffin however was very nice, according to my Wife.

Princes Street Gardensある出店で天気が良い日に芝生の上に座りながら買ったアイスを食べました。横にはテーブル、椅子もあります

We went in while having a walk, coffee was awful. Tea was weak and the food was worse. Not a nice place to sit and expensive for what it was.

Best Hotdogs in Edinburgh. They normally have meal deal things on and you can pretty much mix & match most of the items in the menu.

We went for a lunchtime snack. I opted for the Cheeseburger and my wife the Chicken Burger. I think the staff, who seemed affable enough, were minimalists as what we got was literally a Scotch Roll with a burger, with cheese on it, or a chicken burger. No salad and no sauce. It was so bad, I now wish I'd taken an image of them to demonstrate just how pathetic they looked! For that, we paid £5 for the Cheeseburger and £4.50 for the Chicken Burger.We'd considered going to the Costa, across the other side of Princes Street, but passed it up as we thought this place would be better value. We won't be making that mistake again!

I'm currently sat outside eating the icecream it's fantastic, great atmosphere, give them a try! Perfect location...

Although it was late in the year the weather was good so we stopped here for a snack. We both had chicken burgers as beef burgers weren't available. The guy who served us was pleasant and brought the food when it was ready. We had a nice view over Princes Street Gardens and the Castle. A piper was playing just a little further up the street which added to the experience

Went there for quick afternoon snack and had decent fish and chips. They also offer other snacks and drinks. Nice place to sit for a while.

Maybe I was unlucky, but I felt ripped off when I ate there today. I queued for ten minutes because I was looking forward to eating a waffle. Nutella or ice cream turned out to be the only choice of topping so I settled for ice cream. Unfortunately the waffle was reheated in a microwave and went hard as it cooled. The ice cream tasted of very little. For this and a can of Coke I paid 6.35. Never again!

Staff are really friendly good good good coffee and brilliant prices . Very nice Italian made perfe coffee and the music was great Jazz. Perfect. defo recommend

Great spot for afternoon ice cream or coffee and baked goods. You can walk over to national museum from here or go sit by the rwalkway in the park by Scott's monument

Nice Change from corporate blandness of Costa Coffee etc and big improvement in value and quality over what we get in the London Parks

Had fish and chips which were awful!! chips were cold and the fish was reheated. Had the idea of getting homemade stuff which was absolutely not the case. And it was totally overpriced. 6£ was just too much.

Just bought coffee from scotts , nice and strong, exactly what I like. Classic music and nice view to the castle made my day perfect. 100% recommend Scotts

We stopped here on our way to get the airport bus. All we needed was a quick snack for our boys and Scott's was perfect. The food is what it is. Fast food made in a hut. Nice to sit outside in the sun although it was very windy and we had to hold on to our food trays.

I stopped off at this little café after a busy day shopping, It's cute exterior and gorgeous surroundings of princes st gardens drew me in. It was a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the sunshine, whilst observing the festival crowds and going on's.. My coffee was delicious as was the hot nutella waffle I had, there's so many yummy treats to select from! The service was just great with very hard working staff at this busy time of year. One young man, I think the supervisor was so funny! He had everyone in the queue smiling and laughing with his humour. Overall a lovely environment, I'll be back.

Lovely place to have a break for coffee or dine during our visit to the city centre of Edinburgh. Staff were very nice even being a busy place.

Found this little kiosk walking through Princess Street gardens, the staff were so friendly and incredibly efficient, also considering how busy it was! The service was great and I enjoyed their fish and chips and coffee very much followed by an icream which remided me of my home in Rome. Will hope to visit before i return ciao ragazzi grazie mille vvb

Very nice coffee and lovely staff, the spot was great as well, will get a coffee there again, before leaving edinburgh!

Great position for easy access food. Friendly, efficient service. Skinny chips when I prefer chunky but well cooked food.

Queued for a cone...in this day and age of a decent scoop...an old style scoop nearly covering the top of the cone. Come on guys get with it. Save your valuable time and don't queue for this wee morsel.

Am local and appreciate how busy everything gets during the Festival. The side where I was queuing was not being served, so I called out "excuse me" - no abuse; no anger. Explained my problem - one young blonde Scottish worker apologetic and explained they were busy. Ok, just serve me next!! Staff member (supervisor? ?) butted in "We are very busy, you need to be patient". Whilst I completely understand that, I didn't appreciate his comment to his colleague "Some people have no patience". I left. DON'T BE RUDE TO ME WHEN I WAS COMPLETELY RESPECTFUL TO YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES.

for such a small place its busy & the food isnt badly priced my daughter said she was starving so had the chips & cheese she ate every bit so must have been good :)

Our guide Mr. Stuart Usher suggested we stop here for a break and lunch. The sandwich and coffees were just right for a short break.

At one of the entrances to the park, this little cafe was worth a stop. The coffee and cakes are lovely and just what you need after shopping on Princes Street and strolling through the beautiful park.There are also full meals available though a touch expensive.

Fast friendly staff serving assorted flavours of ice cream, even fish and chips and sandwiches tea and coffee, nice place to sit and watch the backpackers stroll by and take photos of ice creams, some strange tourist in Edinburgh,

私はここで、ハンバーガーを食べました。ずっしりしたパテでとても気に入りました。大きさも良いと思いました。価格はちょっと高めかも・・・

Lovely view nice setting but the pastry wasn't so good. Barely edible I'm Guessing not freshly made today and a bit expensive.

Now they have gluten free sandwiches, St Luca Ice Cream and Segafredo Coffee for same price as Costa but with a world class view

This is a lovely place to stop and have some lunch when in Edinburgh. Fish and chips is average but comes at an average price. No toilets so might have to go to Mands food hall if you feel the need.

Petit kiosque mignon est très bien placé. Les snacks proposés sont assez simplistes et un peu chers pour du bon marché. Nous y sommes allés car bien noté sur tripadvisor, le hot dog n'était pas terrible.

Eine Pause einlegen vom Shoppen, Kaffee und für die Kinder Fish und Chips. Ausgezeichnet! Geht rasch und schmeckt. Erstaunlich, was in der kleinen Bude alles geht. Und liegt in einem schönen, kleinen Park, der gefällt.

Such a perfect drink and pastry for a late afternoon snack in the park. First I appreciated the helpful staff person behind the food counter who suggested the almond tart. Then I watched in amazement as the bartender rapidly assembled two of the most delicious and refreshing Pimm's cocktails I've had. The striped paper straw was picture perfect and a "green" choice.

I have visited this wee gem of a place severtal times. The coffee is exellent and you can sit and watch the world go by. The service is friendly and the filled rolls graet value. They stock ice cream form S. Luca the famous Musselburgh Italian maker. Give this place a try- you will not be dissapointed!

Love this oasis of peace and quite just 30 yards from the bustle of Princes StMy favourite Italian Sega Fredo Coffee and St Luca Ice Cream

I often have a cup of tea and snack at Scotts in the Park because it is in such a splendid location in Princes Street Gardens. Great views of the Castle, Old Town, the Gardens themselves, the Scott Monument and the National Art Galleries. I have always found the staff very friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable compared to lots of other similar eateries in the city.I also happen to like seagulls and take great pleasure in watching them at Scotts. A word of warning however....... guard your snack carefully because they sometimes swoop and grab it out of your hand!Stuart U.

Stopped off for a diet coke and a hot dog. I went to pay and was told it was over £5I asked how much was the diet coke (can) no glass. £1.60 the chap replied the lady behind the counter was on her mobile and not interested in serving anyone. I asked again the price of the Diet Coke as I have never paid £1.60 for a DC from a shop before. I said to the chap can you check the price and he said yep £1.60 Hmm I said to the lady in the queue you know its £1.60 for DC oh why so expensive she replied she was waiting in the queue to buy 30 cans for the coach party of kids. She made a hasty exit. I said to the chap to give the owners a heads up and let them know £1.60 is double the price it should be. Then he says even I wouldn't buy from here well that says it all. then he served the hot dog and I asked where is my can he said you would need to get it yourself round the corner! I thought at least for £1.60 you would get it delivered on the counter. Sat down on the chairs and out of the 8 seats available there was only one other table being used. Two French students who were arguing over something then it transpired that they two were moaning about the price because just 1hr before they paid 80p in another place. Message to owners please do not rip off tourists.

What a nice guy gave me fries and drink for my Birthday and didn't charge. It was a life saver as it was a freezing cold day in April. Cheers great full OAP!

very disappointing value for egg may bap £2.80 for hardly any filling! would be better to go to a takeaway and buy, sit and eat on a bench in the gardens!plus point- was clean and tidy!

A perfect spot to enjoy life on a sunny day with tasty old fashion ice cream in a unique location with great views over Edinburgh castle.

Up in Edinburgh as part of our honeymoon decided to stop, get a cheeky ice-cream and enjoy the view. Met with a warm smile and friendly conversation. The ice cream was just what the doctor ordered and a welcome pit stop to enjoy that spectacular view. Perfect way to remember our honeymoon, well recommended.

A work colleague and I stopped at Scotts on our way to the station after a training event. The service was very friendly and efficient, prices reasonable for the location and it is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the view. The hot chocolate was really good and the white chocolate Rocky Road was the best I have had :-)

If your walking through the park, pop into Scott's in the park. Good selection of snacks, well priced and fantastic service. Thank you for our ice cream our daughter said it was the nicest she has ever had x

It was the Spring Solstice - a fitting day to sit, for the first time this year, eating locally-produced mint choc chip ice cream and looking out over East Princes Street Gardens, as a piper played in the distance and small puffy clouds rolled over the castle. This perfectly placed hexagonal hut and its friendly staff are purveyors of many such simple pleasures. It's always been a favorite spot of mine. That Spring Solstice visit will be the first of many now the winter months have passed.

The kiosk offers really good choice off food a very reasonable pricing. Great accommodating owner too. Me and my son recommend the hotdogs

It was just a nice place to sit and look at old Edinburgh around the castle and get a good panoramic view of the castle side of Edinburgh ,and coffee is excellent.

Love Scotts in the park. Have been here several times when visiting Edinburgh in lots of different seasons. Always great coffee and traybakes and great value too. Visited again yesterday with my son for a uni open day. He got a mammoth and beautiful cheese burger at 10.30 in the morning - nothing was too much trouble for the helpful owner who went out of his way to find us a taxi for later. So pleasant to sit outside at the tables overlooking the gardens and listening to the music. Very relaxed and friendly. I'd highly recommend you stop by.

what could be better than sitting out with a great coffee and views of the castle and royal mile. Me 'n the dog come along here whenever we can to chill! Pastries from the Sicilian Patsserie on sale here too, so don't miss it.davidm

Conveniently and beautifully located you get good coffee and a manager who exceeds my expectations. Funny, interesting, very informative and a little grumpy (but still very nice!). The view is great and the pastries look delicious.

Great fish and chips served by friendly and funny staff who seemed to be enjoying their work although under pressure !Found this cafe in the gardens amongst the temporary stalls of the Christmas Market.....will be returning for coffee and the great banter before we leave. .Thanks guys !!

Had popped over for some shopping with the family and was in dire need of coffee and snackCoffee was great and served by very friendly staff member. Great buzz in the placeReasonable prices and excellent location/view Staff looked to be doing a great jobId recommend it to anyone wanting a quick informal sit-down when visiting Edniburgh

Excellent fish and chips ,can roundly recommend .God value for the center of town We'll certainly use again .Carol Marr.

Surprisingly friendly and patient staff for such a food busy stand. Defiantly worth a stop for a wee break from shopping. Kids were pleased which helps

TERRIBLE OVERPRICED/UNDERCOOKED FOOD! and darling, don't even get me started on the manager, most people would avoid ever coming in to contact with someone vile . . .just take my word, spend you money somewhere else, an embarrassment to the city to be honest

Stopped in off Princes Street to the xmas market today, and on entering the market seen the billboard advertising Scotts fish and chips, with prices and photos of presumably the food they serve.Both my wife and i ordered fish and chips.......now at £4.95 each we were not expecting a huge portion, but we did expect 'traditional chip shop fare', ie proper chips and maybe a wee fillet of Haddock dipped in their own homemade batter.What we got was tiny 'french fry' type pre-frozen chips, the ones at £1.50 for a huge bag from Lidl or the likes, and a small fillet of pre-frozen, pre-battered fish, straight out of a box, the type you get from Iceland or Asda !!Now i'm not familiar with Scotts actual fish n chip shops as i'm not from Edinburgh, but surely they dont sell rubbish like that in them ?That cost us approx £10 for roughly £2.50 worth of food, i now wish i had went to any of the other stalls selling food.What we received was nothing like the picture on the billboard advertising their business !Absolute rip-off , i feel for the tourists if they think that is what a traditional Scottish fish n chip shop sells !

The Ice Cream Pavillion changes to Christmas Fayre with jumbo hot dogs and cheesy chips, hot chocalte and marshmallows but a much better deal than the temporary stalls

one of my nightlight each week is to meet my sister and take my dog a walk through the gardens which are beautiful but the biggest nightlight is to stop of at our favourite spot scott's in the park kioskfor our coffee and blether with the staff which is most enjoyable not only for myself and my sister but for my dog who gets fussed over so if your a dog owner or not it's a must place to visit what with the breath taking views of the gardens and the castle, good coffee, food and friendly staff, especially looking forward to visiting the kiosk at Christmas for the festive atmosphere.

situated under the leafy trees in Princess street gardens, my sister, dog & i visit this lovely little kiosk most weekends which serves great food & beverage, with friendly, efficient staff on hand to assist. Great if you are a canine owner as its set up to accommodate both owner & dog & the staff love to make a fuss over the mutt but also great for non canine owners as you can enjoy both the fantastic views on display & the food on offer.

Service awful rolled eyes as I walked in. It is their job to serve me after all isn't it? Good food to be fair just awful awful staff. I even took my pitcher jug back into the tent made me wait 10 minutes for them to say "put it down there" and pointed to another table then I put it on that table and with there still being a queue the staff member went and moved it anyway!! No thanks never again!

As a support worker I took 4 young ladies with dissabilities to Scotts for coffee and cake. Not only did we get service with a smile but all our young ladies got free tea coffee juice and a cake. This was fantastic and was way beyond our expectations. THANKYOU!!!

Lovely cafe in the gardens, great place to grab an amazing ice cream and a lovely cappuccino and sit in the gardens and very friendly staff!

Very good place nice staff good food nice place and the are kind to people i go there back soon very very good

It's fringe time... and it's chaos in all the city... but I have discoverd a fantastic place, in the middle of the park, perfect location for... everything!!! A chat with a friend, a hot tea (August 14° C... Welcome to Scotland...) great music and stunning customer service (even in this stressful time of the year!!!)! It's an unmissable thing to do if you're around, and if you're not... take the bus and go to experience the kiosk!!!

Ho preso un fish&chips, un the, un caffè e ho pagato 10 sterline, un costo nella media. anche se mi spettavo che costasse un po meno. La pecca maggiore è il poco spazio dedicato a tavolini e sedie. comunque, era tutto ottimo!

Food ok but service awful. Owner rude and unhelpful. Left us standing for ages with no explanation or apology. Very rude when she moved on to next customer without finishing serving us. Would not come back

The coffee and cakes are just great for a start, the friendliest staff and lovely fresh prepared snacks and cakes

Great music. great coffee,fantastic ice cream and fabulous views! I love this place for time out on the way to work or to meet friends.On a grey day the music staff and views cheer me up and on a sunny day there is no where better to have a coffee and sit and appreciate the beauty of Edinburgh.IIt can get very busy when the sun is out but the staff keep smiling under pressure.

Det är jättetrevligt att sitta här och kolla på folk och omgivningarna, men mycket mer än så är det inte. Jag åt en glass som kan vara den mest smaklösa jag någonsin har ätit, typ som mjölk med lite röd karamellfärg i. Det finns gott om bättre ställen att käka glass eller ta en fika på i Edinburgh.

I had there coffee and ice cream, it was the most delicious ice cream I had so far in Edinburgh! it's nice place to sit for a moment and chill with a good view to castle, highly recommend!

This is a great wee place to meet with friends and what a fabulous setting./ We had coffee and a lovely burger. Service was quick and friendly. In fact we had some real banter going on and it's a lovely relaxed place to stop ot meet up with friends. Loved the music too! Visit and feel the vibe!

Fantastic ... A great meeting place and superb service. Well worth stopping for a snack and some Edinburgh gossip.

Great spot for a quick drink and a treat. Been there several times and never been disappointed. Although it's usually a very busy place, staff are doing their best and always provide great service. Never had proper breakfast/lunch, but coffee and ice-cream are great here. Not to mention the jazzy music!

Great friendly staff, good banter and brilliant service.Coffee and food delicious, nice seating area for castle and Gardens views.

We been absolutely pleased with superb service and great food. Can't find any better to be so central. Specially thanks for the guy with a beard who made our day. Very chatty and bubbly told as some great places to visit. Nailed it.

A coffee and a snack to go with an iconic view of Edinburgh Old Town always served with smiles and an unusually great selection of jazz music. Couldn't ask for much more. I make a point to stop at Scott's kiosk when I am in Edinburgh. Usually a table to sit comfortably and people watch and if the day is a bit wet there are also tables under cover. Will be back. Thanks.

I was there for a quick snack in Jul'2014. What a great place in the heart of Edinburgh! Great ice cream, good coffee, fantastic spot.

This place was great. We just left the park and were looking for something to eat. We happened to spot this little place and we loved it. It was great for a light snack and coffee, music and friendly staff :)

I went there a few days ago for a quick bite. I had a late and a cookie. Customer service that I've experience was really good. Compared to other places, the coffee was one of the better ones that I had. I would recommend this place for people if they want to get a good coffee.
