The Square in Edinburgh, City of

Ukrainian cuisine in the center of Edinburgh. Delicious, huge portions and most importantly - Ukrainians are around. It was as if she had visited home. I recommend and will definitely visit with children! I wish you happy visitors.

Lovely place. Delicious food, and great latte. I totally recommend this place for visiting.

Thank you! It was very tasty and pleasant to visit this cafe! The only request, if possible, is to add more Ukrainian symbols to the interior of this establishment. Nowadays it is very important! 🇺🇦

I'm so happy that we accidentally popped into The Square! It's not a big café, but the food is amazing and the view is beautiful! Everything is fresh and tasty—both Scottish and Ukrainian. My children only wanted to have breakfast here, not somewhere else. The cakes are absolutely amazing, and the pancakes with apples are so delicious that we ordered them every day! Prices are not big. Recommend to everybody!

Finally visited this institution! We are delighted, the cheesecakes are delicious, the coffee is fragrant ☺️ I will definitely recommend it to my friends, both Ukrainian and Scottish 😉

Finally managed to visit The Square. Very nice food, I enjoyed everything and hope to visit soon again. However, it's quite small so if you want to enjoy your meal on time, it's probably better to book a table

Very tasty borscht and dumplings, I recommend 🇺🇦

Their Napoleon cake is ecstasy for me! So clean, cozy, aesthetically! Delicious and tastefully!

Delicious cheesecakes with cherry jam, just like at home. A good latte. It was fully booked when we visited, and service was quick. Friendly staff.

Very tasty Ukrainian borscht and napoleon cake. Great place!

My favorite place with Ukrainian cuisine in the UK! Very tasty food 🤤 Syrnyky, borscht, eggs, dumplings… everything deserves 5*! But Napoleon cake has a special place in my heart ❤️ Will be back many times!

very tasty!! I tasted dumplings with potatoes and Napoleon :3

If you want to try borscht with a shot of vodka, you won’t be able to, because... there is no alcohol here. The dumplings with meat are very dry, even sour cream couldn’t save them... The pancakes with cheese are delicious

Great atmosphere, as well as specials.

Wonderful place, which appears to be the only cafe in Edinburgh with Ukranian national dishes, such as Borscht! Our usual family go-to-spot for a weekend breakfast. Their pancakes are exceptional. Golubtsi are also great!

Visited The Square for the first time, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. We ordered two different pancakes—one with chicken and another with cabbage and mushrooms—but the waiter got the order wrong, and I ended up with a portion of dumplings instead. Since we had already waited too long and were in a rush, I didn’t ask for it to be changed. To make matters worse, the dishes were served at different times, so my friend had to wait for his food while I was already eating. The food itself was average, and we had higher expectations. Overall, not the experience we were hoping for.

Good afternoon. I’ve been to The Square more than once, I was left with a very good impression and aftertaste of this establishment) Insanely delicious Ukrainian cuisine, with a fairly wide range of dishes, all dishes, without exception of the highest level, are varied. Helpful and friendly staff who will give you the comfort of home when the whole family is gathered at the table, will listen with pleasure to the wishes of clients, are courteous to clients who are vegetarians, and will definitely find out if you are allergic to certain components of the dishes. I would like to note the high professionalism of the cooks and waiters of this establishment!) My rating, 6/5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you, The Square Thank you so much, The Square

Hi) love to visit The Square Café. Well, very tasty Ukrainian cuisine! Borscht with salt, pancakes with cabbage and cheesecakes for dessert are worth it - thank you very much for the deliciousness! 🫶

Great place with great Ukrainian food! Nice service and atmosphere. We loved our breakfast here!

Cozy atmosphere and tasty desserts. Coffee was good, too! 👍🏻😁 I appreciated the cheesecakes 🥰 Thank you!

Haven’t been here for a while but stopped for a take away lunch today , big mistake , the lentil and bacon soup was like dish water , totally tasteless and at £5.95 a complete rip off , my sister got a ham salad roll £6.50 !!!! Won’t be back and no wonder the place was empty at these prices

Highly recommend, food is great and staff really nice 👍

Excellent quality food and service

Great atmosphere and nice food. Ukrainian potato pancakes with a high level of taste and quality! My recommendation

This is not the first time we visit the cafe "The Square". Today we ordered a Caesar salad, which was extremely tasty, and the portion is also quite large and generous. Napoleon was chosen for dessert, which had a very delicate taste. I would like to single out Yulia and Volodya, who were very polite and professional. The only request to the institution's management is to return the signature "Kyiv cake" to the menu. This is one of the tastiest and best desserts on the menu of this restaurant. And it is for this dessert that we are ready to return again and again. Thank you! We will definitely visit a huge number of times!😌☺️

Very good Ukrainian style borsche

Lentil and bacon soup was like water, utterly tasteless and luke warm - cappuccinos not much better - wanted a Twix - 75p was on the packet but they were charging £2!! first and last time at this place ☹️

A sweet Ukrainian run cafe with ace views on the brick row houses and a nice array of breakfast, brunch, lunch a la carte options, including yummy homemade pastry options. The lentil soup was savory and warm on one of Edinburgh's many miserably moist days, the cappuccino and latte were serviceably good--perhaps the coffee itself was less descript because of that particular roast, but we would've loved to try out the other cultural options we saw on the chalkboard menu. It's in a posh area near St Andrew's Square where the tram turns the corner from York. Recommend!

Lovely little cafe, convenient location. Loved our "sirniki", the call them "Cottage Heese Pankakes" here (4pcs £10). Dog friendly. Tea pots could have been a bit more than 250mg , at least for 2 cups... Nice place for breakfast or an early lunch. We will be back.

Great variety of food: starting with breakfasts and sandwiches to great Ukrainian food. I never imagined I could enjoy borshch and deruny in Dublin so much. Definitely must visit!

Small cafe with a wide selection. Avocado toast is very tasty, the salad mentioned on the menu was made of field lettuce that was thrown over the hot toast and therefore immediately looked limp. They also have sandwiches. But nobody understands why a sandwich with chicken sauce is pressed flat on a grill so that it becomes burnt and flat and hard like a roof tile. Is that Ukrainian style or is it an attempt to cover up any problems with the freshness - who knows?? In any case, it would be good if the customer was asked beforehand whether they would like a grill-pressed, black-toasted roll. It was put in front of me without me asking. It was inedible, hard, the topping was almost gone - 6.50 for a roof tile.

Great little Cafe, we had breakfast here which was lovely

My favourite cafe for lunch, great food, delicious coffee and Napoleon cake for dessert. I always enjoy visiting

We had a lot of fun with the food, with the service, thank you! You are the best ❤️💖

Nice breakfast spot in Edinburgh. Ordered the full Scottish breakfast, sausages were nice and tasty bacon. Enjoyed trying the Scottish tattie scone. Fresh Orange juice was nice, but a larger glass would be appreciated for £5. Worth a visit 🍳

This little spot in town serves Ukrainian food and local favorites with a twist. The place has only a few tables, and the service wasn’t the fastest, but the food was well worth the wait and reasonably priced. Signature Borscht - mildly sweet from the beetroot yet savory with beef broth and packed with vegetables. It’s served with garlic-infused bread, slices of salo (salt-cured pork fat), sour cream and sweet red onion. Delicious. Deruny - potato-based pancakes were simple and pleasant, but slightly bland for my taste. The standout reason to come back is their Napoleon cake—absolutely amazing. It melts at the first bite with a soft texture and a custard-like filling that isn’t overly sweet. It’s drizzled with sweet sticky sauce and served with berries and ice cream, perfectly balanced sweetness. Being familiar with the authentic flavors of this part of the world, I didn’t expect things to taste just as they should or creatively better (Napoleon 💛) here in Edinburgh, but what a positive surprise.

Food was below par, tasteless and had missing items. Will not make the same mistake again.

Inconspicuous but very good. We just wanted a coffee and cake and were enchanted. Really great

What a fantastic wee place. Cake we had was amazing. Staff are so lovely. My new favourite place.

Nice atmosphere, quick service, ok food. Online cost

We didn’t have a meal this time but we had lovely coffee and a delicious piece of cake each,,the service was superb and we had a long lovely chat with the owner ,the rest of the menu looked superb,we will definitely be back for a meal and we would highly recommend the Square to others.

Cozy place. I recommend it to everyone. The food is very tasty.

One of the best authentic European cafés in town. Must try the European pancakes or dumplings. Its right round the corner of st Andrews a square, with good service and sweet staff.

One of my favorites. Food is like home made, you can taste they use the best ingredients and it's made with love

Incredibly delicious cuisine, very fast service, I recommend trying Ukrainian cheese pancakes, breakfast is also awesome

Good food, original recipes, reasonable price, and nice staff. I visit regularly and have now tested most of the menu. I have never been disappointed. My favourite Ukrainian dishes are their borscht and their apple and cinnamon pancakes. Oh and their coffee is good!

Super friendly team, good food, top service, nice cozy cafe

Very friendly place. Incredible food. Was very happy to see Borscht on the menu as well as Ukrainian pancakes and dumplings. Everything was very fresh and tasty, and served quite fast as well. Will definitely come back :)

Lovely little restaurant and cafe. Perfect for a quick bite, whether a lite or large bite. Mushroom soup was fantastic. Service is very nice.

It’s sooo goood!!! Absolute recommendation

Freshly made, good quality food. Terribly slow service. We were waiting for our order for 45 minutes.

Fantastic place to have breakfast before starting the day. The service is excellent and always with a smile. We tried the avocado toast with salmon, scrambled eggs and the eggs benedict. Totally recommended!

Thank you for the excellent service.

Really tasty food and huge portion sizes. Prices very reasonable. Will definitely come again 🙂

Amazing place😍 it was delicious food and very friendly atmosphere 😍 We’ve been just 5 days in Edinburgh and it was only one place which we have visited several times)

Just in the heart of Edinburgh there is a lovely place that serves amazing breakfast and some samples of famous Ukrainian cuisine. I've got borshch and pancakes. The price is affordable, the location is superb, it's just two minutes from the bus station! So if you are visiting Edinburgh or you just looking for a place for a good breakfast, or soup, or pancakes this is the place to be!

Nice Breakfast and friendly service in a small cosy place!!

Wonderful cafe in a convenient location! I really enjoyed my vegetarian Scottish breakfast, everything on my plate was super tasty. The server was very friendly and pleasant, making it a great experience overall. Definitely recommend!

Delicious! Borscht and Ukrainian dumplings, highly recommended. Kid-friendly. Gluten-free options.

Great coffee and super omelettes! I recommend it to all guests and residents of this city!

Great fresh food at reasonable prices. Will recommend highly.

Absolutely delicious Ukrainian cuisine like at home! Big portions and nice price! Very friendly staff ! Highly recommend this place to visit! Thank you so much!!!

The atmosphere of the space is very good. The food is amazing. It's a shame because we only discovered the space on the last day of the trip.

Amazing borscht! Very delicious!

Absolutely delicious breakfasts (went twice during a short stay in Edinburgh). The service is friendly and I particularly appreciated the syrniki ( cottage cheese pancakes), a Ukrainian speciality. 💙💛

Lovely cafe with friendly staff. We ordered desserts and smoothie, it was really tasty. Wonderful Ukrainian food, I love it!

Really nice little place. Breakfast was excellent and reasonably priced. Very nice staff.

Delicious food for children and adults, wonderful aromatic coffee, fragrant pastries, and delightful desserts, all at pleasant prices. Very convenient location. I will definitely come back here again and again.

Happened to be walking past at breakfast time so popped in. Really friendly staff great coffee. The food was good and very reasonably priced.

We got Ukrainian borscht and Ukrainian pancakes. It was incredibly tasty. I have no words to describe how delicious it was. If you are visiting Edinburgh I highly recommend to pop into to this restaurant. The stuff was so charming and friendly. I guarantee If you try this Cuisine once you'll become a regular customer.

great place to go if you wanna try some Ukrainian food. that’s really good, so I can recommend it for anyone !!!

It was so delicious. I love this place. How ‘bout price? - excellent Service - as well 5 stars

Hi, I had been trying to get any opportunity to get good feedback But it’s impossible because of the people The staff weren’t treated as good as they can Either way the atmosphere were better, the place is really good in the city centre

Cool presentation of borscht and the taste is incredible, pancakes with chicken and cheese are nice as well. Also I can't imagine a week without coming and eating their Napoleon cake (sponsors of my extra kilos haha) but everything is delicious so I can't stop Also the staff is always very welcoming and friendly, it feels like you are visiting family, so I definitely recommend going here for very tasty food and Ukrainian hospitality ❤️

We visited this café as a family and thoroughly enjoyed the food and exceptionally delicious coffee. The children were delighted with the Children’s Latte with pink chocolate and marshmallows. The omelette was exceptionally tasty. The staff were extremely friendly. We will definitely return here next time.

First class food. Very tasty and filling. Delicious coffee. The service was fast, professional and very nice. I invite you for coffee and I heartily recommend it.

Can't believe how reasonable the prices here are, and the food is so good. Great mix of Scottish and Ukrainian dishes on the menu. Recommend the mushroom and cabbage Ukrainian pancakes. The breakfasts also look amazing and huuuge for the price so will be back to try those. Super stoked to have found this place. Nice chill, bright vibes inside and the staff are really friendly. They brought everything out really quickly too so ideal for the lunch break escape we all need every now and then.

Great restaurant. The borscht even had salo. Table water at the start without asking was genius. I will definitely be coming back again. I could tell the owner or chef who prepared the food took pride in their work.

A lovely cafe with a great ambiance Friendly staff and an efficient service set up Good snacks / brunches / toasted paninis etc Recommended

Beautiful food with very pleasant, accommodating staff!

That’s a hidden gem of North St Andrew street with lovely staff and the delicious Ukrainian/Scottish dishes😍

Coffee was nice but the fruit scone was stale and tasted very strange, almost fishy. Not all items on the menu board were available. Had to repeat order multiple times and takeaway bag was still missing an item.

As I visited the Square, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of the menu, here you can order dishes from both Scottish and Ukrainian cuisine. The dumplings we ordered are delicious! And the presentation of the Napoleon cake with ice cream was a pleasant surprise! The staff is friendly and polite! I recommend all visitors to Edinburgh to visit this cozy cafe

Nice little Ukrainian cafe not too far from the mile. Owner was very friendly and the place had good coffee and some options for a GF breakfast. It’s also worth noting the reasonable prices, which are hard to come across anywhere near the mile. It’s definitely worth stopping in if you want a decent breakfast to start the day without breaking the bank.

Very good selection of dishes. Pancakes are amazing!

Decent coffee, haven't eaten there though.

Excellent borscht and savoury Ukrainian pancakes! Absolutely stop in here if you can, delicious and very comforting food.

Nice Cafe! Delicious Ukrainian foods.

Excellent cafe with fantastic food, a great atmosphere and wonderful service.

A cafe with some real ukrainian food . As a ukrainian it’s a bless to have a cafe like this so far from home . They serve delicious food as borsch , crepes , roast potato, english breakfast, belgium waffles . Very delicious. Love it! Staff knows ukrainian language as well. Food is not expensive .

Fantastic place. Delicious borsch 😍 never ate so tasty Ukrainian food. Thank you very much. I’ll be back.

Visited on a Monday morning and it was busy but luckily someone was leaving so seated quickly. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was okay but the beans were cold (as if straight out of the can). This was dealt with quickly. The eggs were very salty with little salt rocks all over the plate and the table wasn't wiped down from the previous customer. It wasn't the best for me but the effort was there and generally so was the service and it's worth a try.

Really nice place and they serve breakfast all day!

Very tasty napoleon cake and coffee 👍

Borsch is amazing. Benedict eggs with salmon are just great. Cottage cheese pankakes are also highly recommended! Great respect for the Ukrainians who run this business and work here.

Nice coffee and no additional charge for non dairy milks which was great. No customer toilets (which is illegal for this premises) and no wheelchair access

Excellent Ukrainian cuisine, friendly service, we tried borsch, sweet cottage cheese syrniki and chicken and mushroom pancakes, all highly recommended!

Is was really nice place for our breakfast. We were in Edinburgh just for one weekend and we are happy that we found this place. Very good service and nice food. We tasted full scotich breakfast and mini. Recommend you to go there and try.

Fantastic little cafe with very traditional breakfasts and main with an incredibly tasting drinks from amazing milkshakes to great ice coffee, highly recommended.

Cheapest breakfast, absolute amazing food, owner super friendly, really happy and cheerful, and made us feel very welcomed, like we were old friends. The food was fresh, massive portion and cheaper compared to everywhere else. Only downside was the music was a tiny bit too loud. Couldn't really have a conversation without talking a bit louder.
