Visité aquí el miércoles para un café y pastel / rollo. La camarera vino por nuestra orden, pero no estábamos listos. Luego esperamos 20 minutos sin que nadie viniera a ofrecer servicio. Mientras tanto, estábamos viendo a un miembro del personal trabajando de plano para hacer cafés mientras otros 4 coqueteaban, se reían y bromeaban entre sí detrás del mostrador de servicio. Intentamos llamar la atención del grupo que no trabaja detrás del mostrador sosteniendo el brazo en alto, etc., pero fuimos totalmente ignorados. Eventualmente subí al mostrador para pedir servicio (perdón por consentir a sus chicos divertidos) informándoles que en realidad estábamos a punto de irnos ya que habíamos sido ignorados durante tanto tiempo. Entonces todos se separaron y desaparecieron y alguien más apareció por nuestra orden. Esto llegó rápidamente y era de un buen nivel. Antes de terminar, una de las chicas del grupo de coqueteo se acercó y se llevó un plato y una taza. No había terminado y mi amigo acababa de tragarse su última boca llena de café. Definitivamente estaba ‘en un suspiro’. Más tarde intentamos llamar la atención para pagar la cuenta. ¿Adivina qué? Al final acabamos de subir al mostrador. No volveremos a pesar de que somos locales. 3 estrellas es para la comida y el café - 0 estrellas para el personal en particular.

El llamado "Café Eclair" no sabía a nada. Tiré la mitad. Quería darle una oportunidad a un negocio local. Probablemente no hay segunda visita.

Yummy. Lovely range of home made Greek savoury pastries. Generously sized and ours were still warm. Took them home and heated them up as a lockdown treat from a local shop. Worth a stop buy - you can quickly park right outside if you watch out for wardens and they are currently serving from the door. Will be back again to try some different ones.

This Cafe 'formerly 'the Thistle' Now 'THE MAISON' is Like finding a golden nugget to me, I like a morning roll such as egg sausage bacon etc. And if there is one thing that annoys me is the dreaded 'dry roll' without spread of some sorts. One of the things i like about this new cafe is ‘They do this... without you having to ask’.. Now after warning 3 Other cafes in the area if they continued the practice of the 'dreaded dry morning roll , I would go elsewhere. Unfortunately they continued to give me thee old Gordon Ramsey trick of sticking the roll on the hot plate & Ignored my customer feed back.… So what did i do?… Well being a man of my word, I do not accept ‘second best’ and Loe and behold the next again Day…. I find this Diamond of a cafe' THE MAISON' who believe in giving the customer what they want … So let me say... this this is the best Cafe in the Tollcross area, so give them a try I guarantee you will not be disappointed and will surely become a regular. Apart from morning rolls & breakfasts they have an Excellent lunch and dinner menu, you will walk away completely satisfied with the food and thee Delightful helpful and polite staff Staff.

Experiencia absolutamente inolvidable. Le daría a este lugar 10 / 10 de cada categoría posible que pueda mencionar. Increíble comida, servicio y entorno. Fue increíble estar tan cerca y personal y ver al chef Brian trabajar. La comida era increíble. Cada plato fue brillante y el fletán fue probablemente el mejor plato de pescado que he probado. El servicio de Glen fue increíble y las opciones / explicaciones para el maridaje de vinos fueron geniales. Una experiencia general única y brillante. ¡Debes irte!

The Little Chartroom was my family’s favorite meal while in Edinburgh. The food was superb, the ambiance was calm and aesthetic, the staff were incredibly kind. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

We had lunch yesterday 19 October. We had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect . The staff are amazing, one and all. The service is impeccable. The food is truly exceptional. If you get the chance to go here, do not hestitate. I cannot find fault with anything at all. We chose the Market Place menu and I was fortunate enough not to be driving , so chose the wine pairing with my menu. It was so worth it. I had an English wine for the first time and highly recommend it. My husband was driving and only had a sip of each of mine, but he agreed totally that the choices were perfect. We were both bowled over by the whole experience .I am looking forward to going back as soon as possible.

I just returned from a wonderful stay at the Bonham. The staff and service couldn’t have been more pleasant. The rooms and decor of the hotel were perfect for a wintery weekend in Edinburgh . My favorite aspect was the 24 hour serviced bar in the beautiful bar room. And I would like to personally thank the night staff who found my passport which has slipped out of the pages of the book and handed this in the the front desk to save me a last minute nightmare! Will definitely return when I am next in Edinburgh. Than you!

Went here based on highest google review in the area but was sorely disappointed. French onion soup was good but then went down from there. We got the fish of the day and it was mediocre and flavorless. After we ate our fish I asked for the check. It came about 20mins later. Waitress looked as if she could care less about catering to our pace to go sightseeing. Boo on Petit Paris.

Maybe we came on a bad day. Don't like leaving bad reviews but I'm not sure why this place has so many great reviews either. Easily one of the worst meals I've ate out in a while. Staff seemed friendly enough. Nice restaurant interior, but the food was honestly terrible let alone overpriced. I ordered the tuna steak, and it was inedible (raw) undercooked and rubbery. So I thought I'd eat the chips on the side, but then I found a hair. We ordered potatoes and there was only 4!? The food wasnt even fresh and the serving portions were stingy (not small in the delicate French/ gourmet portion sizing) like they just ran out of food? I don't know. Our first time at Cote, will be our last.

Good service The staff friendly and the Best apricots pie✨

Myself and three friends stumbled on this lovely place on our way to the Grassmarket. We received a warm, friendly welcome from the staff on arrival and were seated immediately. We chose breakfast items which were all freshly prepared and of high quality. You get good, homemade food and there is plenty to choose from on the menu. We were so impressed that we returned for more on the following day!! Lovely, friendly staff and a very pleasant vibe to the place. Can highly recommend x

The presentation was stunning, with flawless pastries. Sadly, the croissant was already a bit dry, and while the macarons looked perfect, they were rock hard, with the filling gone bad. We ended up tossing them, which was an expensive waste.

This restaurant has been a family favourite for years. The food is always excellent and the venue and the staff are fantastic.
