The Painted Rooster in Edinburgh, City of

Brunch was very very good. We had eggs Benedict and the club sandwich, both of which really hit the spot.

Nice little coffee with great breakfast and delicious cakes. Recommendation: Eggs Benedict and the Cinnamon Bun (let it warm up!). As the name suggests, the theme is “rooster” and everything is decorated accordingly.

Morning booster is great! Poached eggs boiled to perfection , spinach and mushrooms delicious . Only minus apple juice is in fact from a bottle , not freshly squeezed - as almost everywhere in the UK however ..

We came for some breakfast and ended up getting the 3 piece breakfast roll. It was possibly the nicest I’ve ever had. We were visiting from Manchester to view places to live due to relocation and we’ve managed to rent a property just over the road. We will definitely be returning!

Just arrived in Edinburgh, and needed a good meal to get us started. Found this little gem just across the road from our apartment. Very friendly staff! (Torri ?), fun decor, and really delicious food in AMPLE servings. Will definitely return.

Very cute place but hard to sit well, the space is limited but it's okay. Food was also okay, I expected something I couldn't cook at home. Maybe I should've ordered something else.

Had breakfast here. Waiters were kind and quick but the food isn't that great and damn expensive for the quality. I understand prices are higher nowadays but there are many places in the city where you can get better quality, more interesting food for less.

We ate here for a few days and it was our best choice, the prices are only a little higher than in other places but here they do not charge a service charge without asking, which is the case in most places in Edinburgh, The food is great, fresh, made of good ingredients, friendly service and wonderful coffee. We are people who like good and healthy food and that's what we got here. We will definitely come back6

Breakfast with family before leaving Edinburgh. We chose the place based on the reviews and we were delighted! Very friendly staff, hearty and delicious dishes. The equivalent of €95 for 4. If you want to enjoy a good breakfast, go for it!

We dropped in for a cooked breakfast. Beware the high prices. The menu by the road shows no prices. You only start to realise how much this is going to cost you after you sit down. Two breakfasts and three coffees came to just under FIFTY POUNDS. The food was alright and the coffee was very good but I won't hurry back.

Hidden little gem for breakfast or lunch. Went for the haggis w/ poached eggs. Good choice. Nice staff and good music choice btw.

Coffee was very average. Flat white was far from being a flat white. Scrambled eggs shouldn’t be scrambled on a pan but before touching it. Prices are expensive. 4£ for flat white? I’m sorry I live in London and I’m a barista, never saw a price like that.

Great food, nice people, awesome experience

lovely little find on way back from Dean village. quaint hidden gem lovely place friendly service. stopped for hot chocolate and a cake. well worth a visit good choice of menu

Slightly disappointed 😞 Felt we were an inconvenience , staff not very welcoming 😕 Latte wasn't great it was bitter Nearly £9.00 for a large latte and a can of Coke! Didn't order lunch as we felt like an inconvenience and just wanted to leave. It's a shame as cafe quite quirky

Enjoyed breakfast at the painted rooster on Sunday morning (opens at 9am) The service was very friendly, and attentive Food was delicious with lots of choice Breakfast bap (pictured) with three fillings £8 something) good sausages Would recommend.

Over all good experience. Cute decor. Nice food. Would visit again.

Truly excellent cafe, breakfast, lunch, coffee are all brilliant. Another example of my rule that places hidden away in basements or upstairs are generally good.

Went for coffee and it was nice Carrot cake was slightly dry but still tasty

Great freshly cooked breakfast with friendly staff and a quaint restaurant. You will love the food here

3 fois en 2 jours, c'est dire si on a aimé. L'accueil au top, les petits déj et les bagels délicieux. Le cadre est cosy avec une petite musique de fond pour un réveil en douceur. Belle découverte !

Great fresh food, with a super friendly staff and atmosphere. Bread, pastries and pierogis were all fantastic

Our favourite place to visit for breakfast when in Edinburgh. Great selection of food served by nice staff in a place with a good vibe

Great little place. Excellent salmon and soft cheese bagel, Zerek soup and lentils soup, very prompt attention of service. Small but highly recommended

Perfect spot after visiting Stockbridge and Dean Village. Wonderful selection of breakfast, lunch and desserts.

Absolutely LOVED this place for brunch! Incredible menu for all dietary requirements, food , coffee, baked treats all delicious 🤤 I wish it was my local but if I return to Edinburgh I'll definitely come here. Emma was so helpful considering our party of 5 had various dietary requirements. It's a cute cosy atmosphere Thank you a lovely experience 💗

Probably one of the most delicious breakfasts and coffee I have had in Edinburgh. Have gone with my family multiple times during our trip. Would give 20 out if 10.

Such great breakfast, one of the best places I have ever tried. The homemade soup is so delicious! The club sandwitch is another level, and the grilled cheese, Scottish breakfast, can not recommend more. The price is slightly on the higher end. But well worth it! I would definitely keep coming back.

Small and quaint with great service and delicious cakes/breakfasts. Loved it. We will be back! Sausages were delicious which is always the mark of a place using quality produce. Coffees were great too. ☺️

Went for breakfast. The place was cosy and service friendly. Although breakfast was nice it was very expensive. Poached eggs and scrambled eggs on toast with 2 coffees was over £30 and only one slice of toast for each dish -for that price there should be two slices! Overall nice but food nothing special.

Given under cooked food and because I asked to be cooked again staff were rude

A little hidden gem for big Scottish Breakfast. We had amazing eggs Benedict with salmon and avocado, as well as the traditional Haggis that was better than expected. Fresh orange juice was below average. Simple tables, average decò and atmosphere.

Fantastic food with charming service from Emma and Torey who both introduced themselves. Big avocado breakfast goes down a Strom and the hash browns are wild good. Gluten free made easy

The Painted Rooster offers a blend of, what appears to me, to be French and Polish cuisine with modern conveniences thrown in for good effect. We could not turn down the opportunity for a burger with raclette cheese, and the burger wrap was absolutely to die for. The charming decor and warm service complete what is a truly exceptional menu. This restaurant is one not to be missed.

Nice atmosphere and fab service. I had a great greyer and mozzarella toasty which hit the spot on a dreich Edinburgh Sunday!

Unbelievable food at a reasonable price, especially for the potion size. I went for the Chicken burger were it was cooked to perfection along with the best sweet potato fries I've had in a while. The staff were so friendly and seated us immediately as we stepped in. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area

Todo increíble, muy buen sitio para desayunar

Fantastic food, very friendly staff. Highly recommended for breakfast 🥞

Sorry chaps, but closing an hour early on a weekend day is not really "a bit earlier", it's plenty of time for a meal (with a dessert!).

This breakfast food here was nice and healthy but very over priced for what it is, and they play pretty bad 2010s pop music.

This cafe is definitely worth a visit - we came upon it by chance and it was so lovely! The cafe itself is cosy & quirky, staff were really welcoming and the food was so yummy! Great for transport links also (bus stop opposite.) Would definitely recommend.

Had the scottish breakfast (you can choose 5 ingredients). Very delicious! The orange juice and the espresso, too!! ♥️

Lovely food and even more lovely people. Went there two days in a row. Lokal food made from green lokal ingreediens. Very recomended

Excellent brunch food and a quiet, cosy atmosphere. Milkshakes are highly recommended!

First off I’ll say what was good, food was tasty and potion sizes were nice. The girl working was lovely and smiley On arrival we were sat and given menus. We waited a while for a drinks order. Half the drinks did not come. When asked the orange juice was brought out. Water was never given despite asking. Food took a long time despite there being one other table in who were already eating. The waiter with the long hair could not have looked more disinterested in being there. He took our food order then proceeded to go and stand on his phone before a few minutes later putting it on the till. For the extortionate prices we paid this did not live up to standards by any means. Absolute cheek to add a service charge on a bill where service was non existent.

Great staff, great food and cozy atmosphere! 10/10 🌟

Quando entri in questo piccolissimo bistrot nel seminterrato e vedi tutti pasteggiare con il cappuccino, da italiano vorresti andartene. Invece fanno degli ottimi brunch, serviti tutti i giorni, e il club sandwich più buono di sempre. Consigliato

Full Scotish Breakfast was delicious and well filling. Nice tea and coffee options on the side. Recommendable!

Friendly staffs. Not bad food and drink menus

Small underground restaurant with fresh and excellent food. Workers are great. Maybe need a bit more of salmon on Egg benedict plate...

A local favorite with good reason. Great coffee and tasty breakfast in a welcoming environment. Enjoyed the poached eggs and the oadtries looked fabulous.

Fantastic breakfast. Still full at 4pm

We stopped in after walking over from the airport bus stop while waiting to check in to our Airbnb. It was probably closer to lunch time (almost noon) but we had breakfast since we hadn't eaten yet today. We had poached egg on toast and scrambled egg on toast. Both were excellent. I had some apple cake that had been baked that morning and it was good too. Service was good and friendly. The atmosphere is nice. It feels like a local hangout and is downstairs. We wanted to come back for lunch one day, but were so busy sightseeing that we didn't get back to this area.

Lovely spot! Excellent breakfast. I sat outside after I ordered, as it was a nice day. Great food, with gluten free options, vegetarian options etc. Great service and vibes!

Kleines Lokal im Untergeschoss eines Gebäudes. Sehr leckere Sandwiches und freundliche Bedienung. Das Essen der anderen Gäste sah sehr gut aus.

The best breakfast I had while visiting the UK. A must visit place is you’re in the neighborhood. And the staff are wonderful.

We stop here for lunch every time we visit Edinburgh. The burgers are excellent and the service is very good. Bring your appetite for some pierogis

The eggs benedict were so so so good - perfectly runny yolks and everything was well seasoned! The fried rather than toasted bread and the chilli mix (also the careful cutting of the avocado) were all very much appreciated touches. Really cool wee operation! :)

Came here for brunch and it did not disappoint - we took the big avocado breakfast, the eggs Benedict, the mango smoothie, the matcha latte and the cheese cake. Everything was fresh, very well presented and delicious. Weather was lovely so we could enjoy the outdoor seating area too ;) Highly recommended!

Wonderful, great, superb food and service. Really yummy bagels and a nice choice for vegetarians too. Just great. Oh and their eggs Benedict- to die for….

The restaurant is near our hotel and we decided to try it for breakfast. Wonderful food, service! Throughly enjoyed the breakfast!

Lovely spot for breakfast, good portion sizes and friendly staff. Will visit again.

Ottima e abbondante colazione. Ampia scelta di salati e dolci. Posto raccomandato a celiaci e vegani. Ambiente particolare e suggestivo.

Ouch, cost £17 for a plain regular size fry up (one bacon rasher, two sausages, two eggs, one haggis, one black pudding, one slice of bread), no drink.

Great full breakfast set us up for the day,wife loved all the Rooster bits and bobs around the restaurant,

Most amazing Reuben I've had in Britain

Best Reuben I've had in Britain. My partner had the all day breakfast and it kept her going all day. Money well spent

Round the corner from our Airbnb flat, perfect for brunch before checking out. 😀

Nous cherchions un brunch dans les environs de notre hôtel et nous avions vu de très bons avis sur ce restaurant. La salle en sous-sol surprend mais la décoration est vraiment sympa. Les petits-déjeuners et les brunchs proposés ont un très bon rapport qualité/prix. C’était généreux et très bien cuisiné. Je recommande fortement.

Neat, little place. Had breakfast here and was surprised to find vegan options. As a vegan (who eats copious amounts of bacon), it was an excellent opportunity to eat a little healthier during our trip. Had the Scottish breakfast with scrambled eggs, beans, vegan haggis (was good), potato patty (good!), and bacon (wonderful), and it was an good size (I asked to omit the toast, and am female and have one stomach, not four). Plenty of other vegan options though, if you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise, plenty of normal options too. Coffee was really good!

Very comfortable mood in the basement. Cappuccino is very good for me.

Excellent breakfast, excellent coffee. Going back for sure.

Great food. Amazing atmosphere!!

We were on vacation in Edinburgh and came twice during our stay because we really enjoyed the fresh ingredients and friendly service. My 12 year old rated it the best breakfast he had on vacation!

Nous sommes rentrés, parce que ce restaurant s’affichait « dog friendly ». (Trop rare 😏) Belle surprise parce que notre repas était...

Great cafe with good food, friendly staff and amazing vibes !!

Friendly staff, clean, nice decor. Scottish breakfast very nice. Taste and appesrance very good.not greasy. Coffee brewed good quality. Breakfast 18 pounds one person not cheap but given Edinburgh to be expected

Excellent brunch place. Extensive and high quality menu.

Quite good food (hash browns and vegetarian haggis in particular were excellent), in a very cute space with absolutely lovely service. Would love to come back for żurek and pierogi.

Good food, friendly people, and chill vibes. We had a lovely breakfast experience.

Nous cherchions à échapper à la pluie après une visite de Dean Village et npus sommes tombé par hasard sur ce petit restaurant en sous sol. Le burger de la maison, le Painged Rooster était très bon. J'ai presque eu du mal à finir. Mention spéciale à la Lemon Pie,

What a great place for any type of breakfast. We went three times during our stay in Edinburgh. The ingredients are the best - I think that the lightly cooked tomatoes on the vine were probably the best cooked tomatoes I have ever had. If...

What a gem! Liked it's quirky decor,lovely food & pleasant, friendly service. Recommend!

Best chicken noodle soup I have EVER had. Incredible flavour. My husband, Joel had the chicken wrap! Also amazing! Such a cute spot near Dean’s Town. Love the decor and great staff! We by chance met the owner at the Scotsman lounge and her friends recommended we come. So glad we did!!

Best sandwiches we've ever eaten.

Probably the best coffee i have had in Edinburgh. Breakfast here is fantastic

Popped in for lunch - the place has a lovely atmosphere and delicious food. We shared the Rueben Sandwich and Pierogi dumplings.

very nice atmosphere, friendly helpful staff

Кафе відкрите поляками. Можна замовити традиційну шотландську їжу та також польські вареники. Людина з Англії з якою я була, сказала що це кафе стоїть в рекомендаціях. Не знаю. Щоб познайомити людину з шотландським Haggis, я би сюди не привела. В цілому все дуже гарно, смачно.

We stayed in Edinburgh for four days and initially our plan was to have breakfast in four different places... but the first day we went to The Painted Rooster and we loved it that much that we did not try anywhere else! Dog friendly, with delicious food and vegetarian option. Just perfect. 100% recommendable.

The food was delicious, although I found it a bit pricey. Friendly staff and lovely cafe.

The food was okay. We must have ordered the wrong food for lunch. We had the painted chicken sandwich and the meat dumplings. The service was prompt and the staff was nice.

A pochi minuti a piedi dal Dean Village, una piacevole scoperta, piccolo locale ben decorato, personale gentile, servizio veloce, pietanze...

Disappointing lunch. I ordered the raclette cheese and all I had in the plate was a salad, a mountain of fries and only a small scrape of cheese. I paid £18.50 for this dish and I was happy to but I would have expected to be more than a mouthful of cheese for this price. The waitresses didn’t double check on us either.

Exceptional breakfast! Freshly cooked and delicious. Staff are also great.

Amazing breakfast, I had the full Scottish with haggis (first time to eat haggis and loved it) my wife had the painted rooster breakfast, both had clean plates and enjoyed every mouthful. Very clean little place and excellent service also. Highly recommend it.

If you visit this place 100% get the chicken noodle soup, amazing flavours and friendly staff, highly recommended.

I would not come here again. My scrambled eggs were not cooked. The toast arrived on the table cold. The sausage was inedible. Finally, the service matched the quality of the food. The people working at this location were incredibly rude and unhelpful. The only positive remark I can give is that the space was cute.

Pleasent atmosphere in lovely interior caffe. The stuff is very polite and friendly. Highly recommend the coffee! Breakfast was very tasty.
