After a moderately heavy Saturday night we needed a sensible breakfast but trying to find one that catered for a vegan wasn’t easy. Some searching found the Village Bistro and pretty glad we did. Jacqui (sp) the manager had been left hanging by a chef not turning up but rallied to serve 4 cracking breakfasts including a Vegan one. Good food, good coffee, great welcome and ambiance serves up a great little place to visit. Jacqui and the other staff deserve a medal for dealing with their situation yesterday when most would have simply closed the doors. We’ll come back.

We dropped in on the passing for a tea and coffee and ended up with a pizza and cakes too. We were made very welcome by Jaquie and the staff. The food was fantastic, good value and the atmosphere great. We will be back, definitely worth a visit.

One of the most friendly,welcoming cafe's I've ever been to. All the staff were so lovely and couldn't have done more for our family gathering for my mother in laws 90th birthday. Delicious super fresh food ,the Terriyaki prawns were absolutely amazing! The perfect relaxed place for family and friends. Thanks to everyone xx

Lovely atmosphere and food. Jackie was so wonderful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for her. I would highly recommend.

Found this little treasure. Amazing food. Couldn't have asked for a better welcome, staff so friendly and accommodating . Keep up the good work x

Thanks Paula and team, we had a lovely time. Food and service was excellent and Paula went above and beyond, with my grandchildren, not to mention the spontaneous entertainment...thanks so much for giving our birthday 😀 celebrations the extra boost and fun. Karen Brown and family. Xx

We really enjoyed out post-Parkrun visit to The Village Bistro. This is the place to go if you value helpful staff and a good range of menu options.

Loved our Valentine's lunch yesterday. We wanted to go local but hadn't tried the Village Bistro under new management. Superb sharing plates or tapas - four courses, from superb home-made foccacia with hummus and olive oil, then wagu beefballs, prawns, various potato dishes, particularly the dauphinoisem then shortbread, doughnuts, strawberries and cherries dipped into a sumptuous chocolate sauce, then cheese plus crackers and chutneys. SO much food, we had three doggie bags as well as the wee bottles of artisan chutney, unopened, because we were so full. Will definitely go back soon, want to try their normal lunches and teas. Just fabulous. Very friendly staff, dog friendly, efficient. My only criticism - the decor is a bit jaded and retro which of course has a certain kind of charm, but I really don't like plastic flowers and plants.

The warmest of welcomes, the best ever brownie and a little bit of a sing song! What a wee gem of a place with the most attentive and funny staff.

Went for lunch with my friend to this lovely Village Bistro and had a great welcome by exceptional staff and owner Paula. We ordered the 'eggs benedict with smoked salmon' and a 'panini with tuna/red pepper/onion, served with a pot of coleslaw/lettuce leaves/crisps. Coffee and delicious homemade scones...ALL Were Excellent. Great ambiance with a sense of community and also pet friendly. This place is a "Must Visit".

We had a long wait to be served although order was taken fairly quickly. The cafe was not busy at the time of ordering. Two of us agreed that our scones were over-baked and hard around the edges. We were surprised that we had to pay an additional charge for jam. In spite of poor service, the owner was friendly and there was a homely atmosphere. They even offered to switch up the heater for us. Not that keen to give this cafe another go because it was overly expensive for what we had.

We popped in this afternoon and had delicious cheese scones with carmelised onion! Such a warm and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

We had a Friday night box - it contained enough lovely food for both of us . The food was very tasty and was presented well in the box . Will definitely do it again !

First time visiting this Bistro and will definitely be back. The eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection! Lovely atmosphere and the owner was so friendly and welcoming. This will be a regular drop in place for brunch from now on.

I went alone one morning just for some ‘me time’ over a hot cuppa and a breakfast roll. Lovely friendly local with a homely village feel. Super friendly owner who clearly is all about her locals and the community. Will be back, both alone and with others.

Lovely evening spent here with friends. The food was tasty, hot and freshly cooked. BYOB was a bonus. It’s great to have somewhere local to spend an evening catching up . The owner and staff were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Got the half soup and a sandwich which is usually a bowl of soup with half a sandwich however this was literally a half soup ie a cup of soup. The soup was nice. They forgot to add the salad to the tuna salad sandwich. Again the tuna sandwich was fine, bread was soft and fresh but at £7.95 per person this is not good value for money. Literally half a sandwich and a cup of soup. Wouldn’t return.

Had my 60th birthday here with family and friends. Fabulous venue, excellent food and the friendliest staff ever. 💚💚

Honestly such a great atmosphere! Staff are super friendly! I can honestly say they have the best cheese scones in town! Would recommend to anyone passing :).

Fab food and wonderful service! A big thank you to Jacqui who was so accommodating and helpful. We'll definitely be back.

Back in the old neighbourhood after many years. I took my wife for breakfast here and we weren't disappointed! It was great from the "Good Morning" across the street to the warm welcome inside! Breakfast was superb and the coffee was excellent. Paula is a...

A delightful cheerful restaurant with friendly owner and waiter. Excellent mushroom soup. We had the chicken & leek pie with peas, salad & chips. The smoked salmon and prawn salad with cream cheese & tomatoes was delicious and filing. We brought some whiskey coffee and...

What a fab find! Lovely atmosphere, amazing eggs Florentine and the staff are warm, welcoming and fun. Really perfect brunch. We will definitely be back. Dog friendly too!

Great addition to the Cramond/Barnton/D Mains area. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good prices and fab bacon roll.

Had such a lovely lunch. The service was great, staff very friendly and informative. Had the tomato and carrot soup with a hot roll and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a fantastic variety of cakes. We all had cakes and again were scrumptious. We will definitely...

This place is a very nice, cosy little family-run affair. The ladies are very nice and do a great job. I had probably the nicest croque monsieur I've ever had...it was obvious freshly made and extremely tasty. The cakes and scones in the window are...
