I was on anti depressants at the time and I assume it was caused by that. The doorman treated me like I was a junkie and I was told I must of took drugs before coming out. Many people witnessed this, i've never been more mortified in my life. I had not even started drinking yet. It was before any lockdown. I fully remember him, he didn't care about anything I said to him.

Visited here for breakfast while on a city break in Edinburgh. The food and service was excellent. There was a very good variety to the breakfast. Bacon, sausage, fried egg, beans, tomato, mushrooms, hash brown, haggis, black pudding, toast and butter. All of which tasted really good and helped to set me up for the day ahead. The hot chocolate which I also ordered was very good too. Meals are served all day here and everything was Covid secure which was good to see.

Este lugar fue una verdadera joya. Fuimos allí 4 veces en el transcurso de una semana principalmente porque era realmente el mejor lugar para desayunar (la comida es tan buena como en Edi). Los precios también son razonables para la comida que se obtiene y el personal es el más amable. Realmente te cuidan y están ahí para ti en cada paso del camino. Su organización CoVid también es muy buena y están bien preparados para todo.

We visited the City Cafe twice on our trip to Edinburgh for breakfast - they were always very busy - though could always sit us - and seem to have a reputation among Edinburgh locals for their retro feel!We loved the food, and the staff, in particular, were so friendly and welcoming. When we had a slight food mix-up, they were very apologetic and funny, so much that it just felt as though we were in the company of family.Especially recommend the Scrambled Eggs on Toast (pictured)!

I'm gonna drive another 350 miles just to have the chips again. The staff were accommodating, the food was good - they were still doing their breakfast menu at 9pm at night so obviously I had that since I'm not up early enough for breakfast these days...Only downside is that they put us at a tiny table in the corner, we could barely fit both of us around it so I had to sit sideways and then the plates didn't fit on the table either.

Had two amazing breakfasts here. Very good ambiance considering social distancing guidelines. The welcome was warm and friendly with clear guidelines to safety throughout. But the main event of course was the breakfast. Excellent quality with amazing haggis which I must recommend. Next time I visit Edinburgh I will be trying this place out in the evening too.

If I could give this place 6* I would. We visited here during our visit to the 2019 Fringe Festival in August. The service was outstanding,they were very accommodating of our golden retriever, made a fuss of her and gave us a larger table so she could relax while we ate. The all day Scottish breakfast was delicious(even tried haggis) the cocktails were good too and used premium spirits. They have comedy shows and live acts on downstairs if you wanted to watch or you could relax upstairs. This place is a jem, it's an American diner with a Scottish twist. #HonestMary

We made a special journey to have breakfast at The City Café as I had heard so many great things about it- and it did not disappoint! I had an amazing Scottish breakfast for around £8 and it was delicious. The portion sizes are big and I got to try Haggis for the first time, which was nice! I would recommend coming here if you want to try a Scottish breakfast whilst visiting Edinburgh- as I can’t imagine you will find a better one anywhere else. The place was really cool and quirky and we felt really comfortable and relaxed there.

Popped here for a bit of a late breakdast/lunch whilst we was on a trip in Edinburgh. It was the morning we left so looked for one of the best cafe's in town and this came up. Unfortinatly I did think it was a little over-rated.We was asked to take a seat at the bar first because it was quite busy, nothing new and was fine. We waited a little bit and didn;t get asked if we wanted to order a drink or anythig, managed to grab someone and get a drink ordered then waitied a bit lnger as was seated.The menu came and it looked a great menu, we ordered our food and I was expecting from the description something pretty epic, I was dissapointed as it was quite a standard brger. It was nice and enjoyable but nothing that blew my head off in all honesty. Similar situation with the pancaskes, just nothing amazing. To say it is so highly rated I did expect something better than average.

Called in on Saturday evening before the theatre, the place was busy but quickly shown to a table, menu looked interesting and order quickly taken.

Excellent service!

On y a brunché un samedi vers 10h30. Le décor est celui d’un « diner » à l’américaine mais rassurez-vous, la cuisine est bien écossaise! On a été installés et servis rapidement mais dans les minutes qui ont suivi, le restaurant s’est rempli a une vitesse folle. On a commandé le petit déjeuner typique et dans notre large assiette, nous avons pu déguster des œufs frits, une saucisse, des haricots en sauce tomate, des tranches de pain toastées, des champignons, des potato scones, du haggis et du black pudding. Si le haggis et le black puddings peuvent vous déplaire (c’est particulier... et gras), le reste est très bon. Le service est sympathique et rapide et l’addition tout à fait raisonnable (compter une douzaine d’euros par personne), surtout que c’est tellement copieux que vous serez calés jusqu’au soir.

Five of us came in for a lunch on a Saturday. It’s a lovely place with an American Diner style menu. Service was a little slow as it took 40 mins for our food to arrive. One main course was incorrect with the waiter (first day) assuming we wanted a Piti Burger rather than Chicken and rice and one salad arrived rather than two. Food was ok. Macaroni Cheese was a bit dry and soup warm. Problems raided were corrected and Bill discounted so they did respond.

Nice setting and looked OK, but boy the food was awful. American style diner that looked good with nice booths - however the club sandwich that I ordered was dry and tasted of nothing, whilst the burger was rubbery and frankly tasted strange - chunky fries were the only saving grace. Surely not difficult to do better than this......

Being 100% U.S. my wife and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED our meal here during our honeymoon. I can honestly say I am still looking for a replacement for those BBQ ribs. They were perfectly sweet and simple which is actually hard to find in the U.S. as we love to dry rub, fry, and/or char our delicious ribs. My wife also loved the selection and we both were enthralled at the newspapers around the restaurant. If anyone is also from SoCal, picture the Corvette Diner but better!

I love this place and although I like to try different places to eat, I cant bring myself to eat breakfast anywhere else when I visit Edinburgh because it is sooooooooo good! The cafe 50s vibe, music and posters are cool and relaxing and hark back to an era less modern and I like that. So do my partner and his 14 year old son. The breakfasts are freshly cooked, excellent value in terms of produce and excellent value for money. I have never fully finished the big breakfast it is so big. The pancake stack I am told by the 14 year old is awesome and tasty and well nice. The rest of the menu looks great too. I have been with friends, family and work colleagues and everyone has loved it.

We were attending a number of events near this during the Edinburgh Festival and were surprised by the price of the all day breakfast offering here. The prices generally are somewhat inflated during festival time but at this cafe I guess that they were charging their normal prices. I had a large breakfast with a cup of Joe for £11.99. The standard breakfast was £8.99 and a was £3.00 so in effect you got the upgraded breakfast free. This up is fine as long as you don’t want a more exotic coffee.

I had the french toast with bacon my mom had the pancakes and we felt it was way to sweet. It would have been much better had they put the syrup on the side and we could add how much we wanted vs them being drowned in syrup. The milkshakes weren't great either. They were not very thick like a shake should be. to me it tasted like chocolate milk.

No puedo creer que haya vivido en la ciudad durante tanto tiempo y no haya visitado este gran lugar. La acogida fue muy amable. El personal estaba justo en el botón con el nivel de atención y servicio. La comida era muy sabrosa, tuve el chili y fue muy sabrosa. Mi amigo tenía tostadas francesas con tocino y jarabe de arce. Nunca he probado nada igual y lo correcto era una tostada francesa! Su lado de batatas fritas también se ven. La música era de 70 s 89 s, así que es perfecta para los oldies y en un nivel que aún te permite tener una conversación. Esto va a ser un lugar habitual para mí de ahora en adelante. No bebimos pero notamos que el bar tenía una buena y variada selección de cervezas también. Y por último, los precios eran razonables. Pagamos un poco más de 30 libras por nuestros dos platos principales más un lado que sirve papas fritas y una ensalada (demasiado para poder comerlo todo en realidad) con refrescos, lo cual es más que razonable para esta área de la ciudad.

Went for a drink with friends late, I used to drink here when I was younger it used to be a cool place..the person at the door made us feel uncomfortable, the barman when asked for a cocktail said they were not serving cocktails anymore, two minutes later another barman shaking cocktails for probability under age people...not cool.

The City Cafe is on Hunter Square just off the Royal Mile. Had breakfast there twice. The food was great, but the place is truly unique. Think a 60s-70s Mel's Diner setting. The music, the movie posters, Elvis - it's all there! Mostly booths. Not sure what happens to the menu later in the day; suspect it doubles as a pub at night. Really great experience!

Came here for breakfast as they serve it all day. Walking into here was like walking back in time to the 80’s. I couldn’t believe how much character this place shown and it was amazing. Every where you look there is so much history and detail you could spend all day staring at their walls. Even their menu exploded this restaurants personality with quirky names and images. They also can provide a vegan/gf menu if needed. I went for the Castro – named after Fidel Castro, which was poached eggs with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce served on a toasted muffin. This was £8 which is amazing value! The food came pretty quickly and tasted good. The salmon wasn’t very fresh – it was one of the saltiest I’ve ever had but wasn’t bad. The coffee was also really yummy and strong. It was a great spot overall and couldn’t have been happier.

This is the first place we went to when we arrived in Edinburgh. Both myself and my girlfriend decided to go for the Scottish breakfasts. We were not disappointed. Great size breakfast, full of flavour and a great cup of coffee! Thank you!

Essendo allergico ad alcuni alimenti ho chiesto al personale cosa potessi mangiare, non hanno neanche provato ad informarsi a riguardo, ci hanno fatto alzare ed andare via visto che non si sentivano di servirmi in quanto non volevano prendersi responsabilità, non mi era mai successo, sono rimasto molto deluso, non ci tornerò.

Llegamos aquí a desayunar un domingo por la mañana alrededor de las 10 am. Estaba muy ocupado, esperamos unos 10 minutos por una mesa y conseguimos algunos menús para navegar mientras esperábamos. Pedí una pila de 3 tortitas con nutella y mi esposo pidió el gran desayuno completo. Mi esposo declaró el desayuno 10/10 con haggis y pudín negro, así como los sospechosos habituales. También recibió una taza de té gratis con el gran desayuno que él disfrutó. Mis tortitas eran sabrosas y esponjosas y venía con 2 sobres de nutella. Mi única queja fue que el jarabe de arce ya estaba sobre los panqueques, por lo que estaban bastante saturados. Si volvía, lo pediría de lado, ¡pero eso es más una preferencia personal!

Lekker makkelijk restaurant. Gewoon een goed gevuld ontbijt met koffie of thee voor $9.50. Ook de toast met roerei met bacon of zalm zijn goed. Het restaurant heeft een Amerikaanse look, met Elvis die je opwacht bij de deur. Toiletten zijn buiten verwachting goed en schoon.

The food was ok, i found it a bit too greasy/cold and way too much of it. Went for the veggie breakfast. Nothing overly wrong though. Staff were lovely, the interior is American styled and pretty cool. Liked the free tea and coffee with breakfast.

My frequent Edinburgh office, always my ideal place between meetings, this was my first time with 3 kids under 13. Perfect service and really fun. Great food and atmosphere. Not just for work!

Amazing Brunch on a rainy day, tucked away just off the Royal Mile. Loved the decor (50’s Americana).

A lovely spot for a casual-ish dinner. There is a big selection of main courses on the menu but not many starters. Staff are really nice and there was a good atmosphere in the venue. Was busy on a Mon
