The best restaurants in Leith Walk Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

A great spot for Singaporean and HK inspired treats! We arrived ten minutes before the place opened on a Sunday, and, I’m glad we did, as the place filled up very quickly. The interior is small, but has a really nice vibe! As someone constantly missing the Hong Kong teatime culture, I was very excited to see some of my favourite cafe classics on the menu, including HK toast, kaya toast, and teas and coffees with condensed milk. We ordered the roti canai, kaya toast and HK toast to share, and a cup of teh tarik, a Singapore signature hand pulled tea, each. Everything was delicious and satisfied my craving for nostalgia (and good food!). I was a bit confused that the crusts were cut off the HK toast, as this is unusual at least in Hong Kong, but my sister pointed out that bread in the UK is much tougher, so this was probably a very good shout! Didn’t have much interaction with the staff, but we didn’t really need to as they were very efficient and we had no complaints about the food. I’d love to come back during a future visit to Edinburgh to try their coffee and larger main dishes.

We had a really enjoyable breakfast here. The staff were really friendly and very accommodating of our baby and buggy. The food was delicious- glad we found this little spot.

Imagine the horror of staring out of the window of a soulless Seattle coffee template of a location while underpaid staff stress behind you only to see a charismatic indie across the road. So, if you fancy a coffee and are on Leith Walk then cross over and go to Tepuy instead. You'll find a welcoming and popular choice nook. The Columbian coffee is simply fantastic. It makes you regret those other coffee choices made previously. Well, some of them, let's not be too dramatic. Let's be practical instead and point out you can eat in or get the coffee to go. I did on my first trip and had finished the whole recyclable cup after only one block. I also picked up a lovely slice of Victoria sponge. That was fresh and decadent in all the good ways Food is something the website doesn't make here. You can come here to buy coffee to grind. You can also come for a sit down, coffee to drink and a cake. [July 2023 - I visit as often as I can, generally around once a week. I've not seen food on sale in months. The good news is the coffee is great and this ethical independent now lets you pick from a range of Columbian beans thanks to their single shot grinder.] [October 2023 - They've a loyalty card that gives you a free coffee fairly quickly. Worth asking for one!] [March 2024 - really good for people who care about their coffee] [November 2024 - have been stocking biscuits recently, Ideal for a snack with a coffee]

What a great vibe.. perfect pairings with great taste. The ambience is lovely and sitting at the kitchen bar is so much fun.. they change their tacos every week so be there to taste.. great service so friendly and they make it very enjoyable. The flavor of the food is super good and the sauces are to die for.. you can just buy them also.. lovely music to get you in that vibe. Go as a group of friends or on a date or with family.. its lovely.. well worth it

Friendly staff, excellent pastries, above-average coffee. Not advisable for groups of more than 4, but perfect for couples or single people.

Four of us were absolutely blown away by Lucky Yu this evening. Not one plate we were served lacked anything! Everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely packed with flavour. Service was friendly, helpful and really attentive with water being filled across the evening and constant checks on the table. I’ve given 5 stars but have two small negatives to mention. Firstly, the cocktail we tried was £10.50 which came with a big cube of ice, we pulled the ice out to find lucky if there was 50ml of liquid in the glass… I wasn’t overly impressed. Secondly, I thought some of the prices were quite steep? Yes the food was delicious, but for example the prawn bao bun was £9.50 for one, this seemed quite a lot to me. These are just wee things though. The food, service and atmosphere was fantastic. I think it speaks volumes the restaurant opens at 5pm and it was full by 5:15pm! Thoroughly enjoyed it, would definitely return.

Sobresaliente. Un pequeño lugar genial. La comida era increíble. Como vegetariano, quizás una o dos opciones más de verduras, pero las que tenía eran excelentes, particularmente las albóndigas que caldo wow. Excelente hospitalidad y los desiertos fueron compendiados ya que era mi cumpleaños de maridos. El pastel de queso - increíble. ¡Gracias! Volveremos sin duda! 🙂

Una pequeña cafetería encantadora con una decoración linda y personal amable. La comida y el café es absolutamente precioso y a un precio razonable también. Perfecto para un frío domingo por la mañana 😊

what a great space we love this place is great food without pretentions best karagee chicken for us we will be back many times

Wat een fantastische sfeer en heerlijk eten! Er is een hoop keuze en je wordt zeer vriendelijk geholpen!

You are in for a real treat! This is a menu that packs a flavour punch & yet at £34 is the best value for money. (On par with Fhior for flavour, yet is more than half the price) Each mouthful delights, hard to pick a favourite dish so let the pictures do the talking. What I will say is I loved it so much I immediately booked to come back again and bring the hubby. Second time I opted for the vegetarian menu which was a light balanced and still flavourful. Watching the team work was a privilege, to the standards of The Manoir, each looking after the other to ensure customers have the best experience.

Amazing food. Fantastic human staff. Dog friendly. And to die for cinnamon roll bun thingies. 😍 I went in close to closing time and was still welcomed in. Had a delicious salad and pasta. So delicious I ordered one to take out. I was gifted two buns that were heavenly! My very small dog loved the pasta too! ❤️

Friendly staff, BYOB, and the best Dumplings I've tasted outside of Poland. Would recommend a lot, so fresh and delicious

Este café nunca decepciona, hemos estado en muchas ocasiones y el café, la comida y el personal son todos fantásticos. Seguiré adelante allí.

Absolutely brilliant find. Great little cafe with a great menu. Food and cakes excellent. Staff very friendly and attentive. Had our grandson in his pram and that was no problem. If you are in the area definitely worth visiting. Will be back😊
