We went on this tour on Saturday 3rd of September for my daughters 21st birthday the lady that took the tour was brilliant learnt lots about GIN and got to sample purchase and wax top a mini bottle, it is really worth a visit the Tour Guide was called Elisa very easy to understand, I would recommend if your staying central Edinburgh you would need a taxi to and from! But overall a fabulous 👌 day out thanks from us in Belfast x

We decided to pop in to the cafe after taking part in one of the escape rooms. The cafe was clean warm & bright as we walked in and we quickly found a seat by the window. The ordering was all done on line through my phone and the menus was easy to navigate and use on the app. Our drinks arrived first and were brought over by a young girl shuffling her feet she never spoke, just popped the drinks & glasses down even though my husband, daughter and I all spoke to her & made eye contact. We all said Thank you, but she never even acknowledged that just turned and walked off. The food was made to order as far as we could tell it took about 10 mins to arrive my daughter and I both had nachos with chilli con carney. The plates of food were piping hot and there was a decent portion, my husband has a ciabatta sandwich ( it wasn’t a ciabatta roll ) and it came with salad coleslaw and veg crisps, the chap that brought his wasn’t all that chatty either but did nod in acknowledgment when my hubby said thank you. There was a younger lad in a blue staff jumper who was fab, engaging and polite. He was clearing tables and delivering food and drinks. It was nice to see a cheery face, and looked like he wanted to be there.

Aparecí aquí temprano hoy para comer algo rápido con otros 2. El personal de la cafetería es amable, servicial y hablador, y la comida es excelente y tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. Teníamos ofertas de sopas y sándwiches: una hermosa sopa casera y sándwiches y wraps frescos y sabrosos. ¡El pastel también fue increíble! Definitivamente regresaremos pronto

Acabo de comer aquí, no por primera vez. Sopa buena y claramente hecha en casa. Sandwich ídem. Personal amable y servicial y un entorno relajante, luminoso y soleado (hoy, al menos). Pensé que valía la pena grabarlo, como un comentario negativo a continuación, que no es mi experiencia.

Ya he comido aquí, así que no dudes en recomendar a amigos que visiten. Qué decepción sin embargo. Tuve un combo de sopa y sándwich que era mediocre en el mejor de los casos, ciertamente no sabía fresco. Entiendo que era la hora del almuerzo y estaba ocupado (¡aunque no sabía por qué dada la calidad de la comida!) Pero el lugar no estaba exactamente limpio. Las mesas se habían quedado impuras: el personal parecía sobrecargado de trabajo y no lo suficiente. El lugar en sí parece haber ido realmente cuesta abajo últimamente, ¡muy decepcionante en general!

Have been here before albeit for breakfast rolls and a corporate event but this time round I was very disappointed with quality of food and coffee alongside the service. Visited as a family with two kids. Kids boxes priced £5 were of poor quality and value (heavily buttered turkey roll, snack bar, pre packed fruit in syrup plus a carton of apple juice). We also had a selection of wraps and soup. My wrap of falafel was tasteless, my fathers roast beef in Yorkshire pudding was inedible. Very disappointed and wished we had ventured through to the pub for something to eat. Won’t be back in a hurry.

I popped into Summerhall following a work trip to Edinburgh and was pleasantly surprised. The venue itself is quirky and the cafe was perfect for the coffee and sandwich that I so needed after a long morning of work drool (and at a reasonable price as far as Edinburgh goes). Staff were super friendly and attentive and will definitely try and visit again next time I am in the city.

I've tried again and again to give this place a chance as Summerhall is a big part of my life but the cafe just depresses me. It is such a gorgeous, light space and the tables and chairs are really lovely. That's where the enjoyment ends as I'm constantly let down by miserable, lackluster service. I go there most days and hardly any member of staff smiles at you and doesn't look like it's the last place they want to be. It's almost like you disturb them if you ask for a coffee. One girl always has an expression that could sour milk. I've always had to wait at least 20 mins for a takeaway sandwich, I've had brownies that are incredibly stale and dry. The sandwiches and soups and coffees are actually good but the experience is always let down by the customer service. They don't seem to recycle waste, no bin for recycling. The tap on the glass water dispenser is broken and there is hardly ever water in it. They use horrible plastic cups for water. After Christmas the ugly fake christmas trees they had on the tables were still on the tables about 2 weeks into january. The whole outfit just screams of laziness and an attitude of 'can't be arsed.' You've got a premium venue in southside edinburgh. Just shape up, pleeeease.

This was a very poor experience. The food, when it eventually arrived was cold, and had clearly not been heated up properly. The service seemed a bit amateurish side. Thankfully we were given a refund. Will not be going back.

The cafe at Summerhall is always hectic during the festival. In previous years the staff have often been fairly slow and unreliable - this summer however there was a noticeable improvement with most of the staff really friendly and organised. The range of food and drinks is limited, in my opinion, but fine for basic sandwiches and cakes if that's what you're looking for.

Had a beautiful steak toastie in a fantastic environment. Couldn’t praise the staff any more, was served by a lovely Geordie girl who couldn’t have been nicer. Will certainly be making a return! Hidden gem

Had lunch today and it is a great place for kids and the food was mostly good so I would like to recommend and go back but I'll definitely be avoiding anything that comes with salad - noticed it seemed a bit crunchy towards the end and when nearly finished realised that there was what seemed to be soil on my plate. Can only assume the salad wasn't washed well. Pointed it out to staff who didn't apologise or anything - said they would let the kitchen know so hopefully won't happen to anyone else!

We stopped for a coffee and were made so welcome by the staff. It was busy but they took the time to explain a few things...very helpful! The coffee was lovely and there is plenty seating. Will definitely return.

Summerhall is open all year round (despite the name). The cafe is part of an impressive arts centre that always has fascinating exhibitions, as well as frequent music events, and learning activity sessions for both adults and children. The cafe serves good coffee, great cakes (including gluten free options), cheap and cheerful soup and sandwiches, and a reasonable breakfast. The staff are always great: efficient, and very helpful. The ambience can be nicely chilled, with plenty of light, power points for laptops, and good background music. Midweek, mid-morning, the cafe can suddenly turn into a joyous confusion of mostly mothers and children, so the noise level increases. However, if you have children, they'll love it there because of the toys, and the space to safely roam. I enjoyed the cafe at least once a week, sometimes more, for 6 months, and was never disappointed.

They food is nice and the majority of staff are nice, however, one member of staff(Asian girl had a very blasé attitude). Range of cakes and biscuits look tasty. Not the cafe's fault but there seems to be a lot of people using tables for a long time after their meal- working on laptops etc. This takes up space and makes it hard for others to get a space. I'm glad I tried this place as it meant I got to look round summer hall itself but I think I would go to somewhere else in the area for lunch next time!

I don't mind the food at Summerhall, it's quite tasty with a good amount of variety but literally every time I go in i'm treated like a nuisance for wanting to order - no eye contact, unfiendly staff have to finish their conversations before they acknowledge your existence, depends who you get but on the most part I feel like i'm walking on eggshells.

Staff was polite, their bread great and the soups very good. Nice atmosphere although there were mothers with babies and can get noisy in the mornings.

Had a lovely sourdough toastie here, and really enjoyed it. Loved that I could bring in the dog I was looking after - the only thing is it may be nice if there was a water bowl for them around (or maybe there was and I didn't notice, in which case apologies). Plenty of seating. Would be nice if there was a student discount offered as it is a little pricy to go regularly for lunch but still a great place. I really enjoyed the side salad that came with my meal too, which is rare for me!

Nothing is marked vegan on the menu but, annoying though that is, it's not uncommon. I asked if the lentil stew was vegan. Yes it was but it was finished. What else was vegan? Well the soup but not the bread. Why on earth do they need to put animal ingredients into the bread! What else? Well only the quinoa salad without the cheese. Would that be cheaper? No certainly not (because I'd get more salad). What's you're problem with vegans? They are a tiny proportion of our customers. How would you know if you don't cater for them? All of this in the sort of place in the sort of area you'd expect would have a significant vegan customer base. Perfectly nice, if slightly dull, quinoa salad but a bit insubstantial, and a pleasant enough ambience. Sort out the bread and cook a bit more lentil stew and it would be okay.

Lovely place but food unimaginative and could be greatly improved with some simple ideas. Cakes and bakes not good.

Discovered this lovely cafe when I attended a conference in the venue. Was really impressed with the atmosphere and delighted to discover it was dog friendly, so stopped by several times with the dogs on our latest visit to Edinburgh. Perfect location for a nice coffee & cake after taking the hounds for a stroll on the meadows.

Truly awful food. Ordered sausage and mash hoping to share it with my child. Everything was very salty, mash was lumpy, onion was under cooked in the gravy.

Has great potential but the ever changing disinterested staff let it down. The bakes are often stale and the coffee is verging on the vile. Flat white served in a stupid little glass -too hot to hold and the two dead birds in a cage need to go.

Good enough without being somewhere we would go out of our way to visit. Advertising gluten free cakes and then not having any at all was a bit disappointing.

When we walked in and were waiting to be seated we were ignored for ages before we were finally acknowledged and seated. After sitting we then had to wait longer to be given menus. We ordered our food and when it arrived we noticed we were missing our side of chips we told the waitress and instead of getting our chips we were then accused of not ordering them. The toilets were filthy, broken mirrors, stains on the toilets , graffiti and overall unusable and disgusting. Would not recommend and will definitely not be back. ( would have gave 0 stars if possible)

I recently dined at Biblos Bar and Diner and had a great experience. I ordered fish and chips, and both the food and service were excellent. The meal was satisfying, and the staff were especially attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to eat in Edinburgh.

I opted for the Mac’N Cheese as you can see. It tasted very nice, although there appeared to be a shortage of thick creamy cheese sauce. There was a side of garlic bread which enhanced the experience. The garlic bread was a little overdone. did ask to have a piece of cutlery changed as it was marked. The atmosphere was ok to start the night although it quietened down quite dramatically as it got a bit later.

Had a lovely time at Haute Dolci in Edinburgh, with a great location overlooking Princes Street. The venue has a wonderful atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The desserts were beautifully presented and tasted good. However, I think the mango shake could be better. That said, I'd still recommend this place for the ambiance and service 👌🏻

We booked this family run hotel for a funeral tea for my brother. Having never been before we dropped in for a visit, and were warmly welcomed by the owners, we were given reassurance about the day and could tell that they have experience in this type of event. We were not disappointed the food was warm and plentiful. We were all well looked after, the atmosphere relaxed. nothing was too much trouble. We appreciate everything that was done to help us on this sad and stressful day. I would like to go back one day in happier circumstances.
