Visited here on Wednesday for a coffee and cake/ roll. Waitress came for our order but we weren’t quite ready. We then waited for 20 minutes with no one coming over to offer service. Meanwhile we were watching one member of staff working flat out to make coffees whilst 4 others flirted, laughed and joked with each other behind the service counter. We tried to catch the attention of the non working group behind the counter by holding our arm up etc but were totally ignored. Eventually I went up to the counter to ask for service (sorry to spoil your fun guys) informing them that we were actually about to leave as we’d been ignored for so long. They then all separated and disappeared and someone else appeared for our order. This arrived quickly and was of a good standard. Before we’d quite finished one of the girls from the flirting group came over and whisked away a plate and cup. I was not finished and my friend had only just swallowed his last mouthful of coffee. She was definitely ‘in a huff’. Later we tried to get attention to pay the bill. Guess what- we just went up to the counter in the end. We won’t be back even though we are locals. 3 stars is for the food and coffee -0 stars for those particular staff.

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.

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.

Me and some friends who have been trying to learn French came here for a French night! I explained to the waiter we were trying to learn French and if we could try there - they could not have been more helpful and supportive of us! The food and wine were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the coq au vin, Camembert and chocolate tart. Our waitress, Ophélie, was so lovely and kind to us. Thank you for an amazing night! We will definitely be back again soon 🇫🇷

Wonderful hotel, probably one of the best in Edinburgh, walking distance from the old town and most sightseeing, but in a very quiet neighbourhood. Spacious and well-equipped room, the complete hotel is well maintained and the lounge and dining are also recommended. This will be my place to stay in Edinburgh.

Food is spectacular. Everyone is extremely friendly and polite, constantly ensuring your every need is met. They have the best espresso martini in Europe (my personal opinion).

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.

A lovely little gem we wandered into. Great food, pleasant staff speaking French and Spanish as well as English of course. Simple yet delicious authentic French food. The best place we ate during our five day stay
