The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Edinburgh and Lothian

My friend and I visited this restaurant and were disappointed. We ordered a starter which, when it arrived, was not what was advertised on the menu. We ate it but mentioned to the waiter that it was not what we had expected. He walked away as my friend was saying this to him but did begrudgingly apologise before disappearing. However,although he reappeared, he did not come back to the table to ask us if we wished to have anything else and we waited for at least 30 minutes before we decided we would just go. There was nobody else in the restaurant so it certainly wasnt because it was busy. Wouldnt go back.

Ok for families and casual snacks. Man in charge has no people skills. 13th August, early evening. Would not recommend for anyone wanting a special time.

Our room was spacious, very clean and the bed was very comfy. Tea and coffee supplied in the room. The owners Carly and Graeme are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The evening meals were excellent. Would highly recommend staying. We stayed 4 nights when we visited Edinburgh Scotland and felt it was the best accommodation we stayed in on our 8 week holiday.

I came here based on all the previous reviews. Decent location. Very small inside I’d say 8-10 seats max. No flavoured coffees. I ordered a latte(came in a flat white sized cup) hot chocolate and two tray bakes) £14.50. It’s overpriced but then again you’re in the tourist part of Edinburgh. The coffee was ok, could have been hotter, similar for the hot chocolate. The buns were fairly tasty, but again it’s not hard to make a brownie tasty. Maybe I didn’t get the barista that makes the amazing coffee, in summary it’s an ok coffee and bun for an inflated price, but sorry I’m not giving 12.5% tip for a takeaway coffee.

Excellent beach front food outlet.

We can highly recommend this place, the owners are very friendly and . The sour dough Pizza was excellent. We could sit inside and enjoyed our meal very much.

Our cruise ship stopped in Edinburgh and we wanted to find a place off the ship for lunch. One of the bus drivers mentioned Porto & Fi and we walked over. We found the restaurant to be excellent! Food and service was way above our expectations and we only wish it was around the corner here in Huntington Beach. Service was excellent and watch out for the desert! Great lunch!!

Came here as they made my husbands birthday cake in April. Loved the cake so had to try the bakery. Had scone, cupcake and drinks. Everything was freshly made and very tasty. 5 stars. When in Edinburgh again, we would come here again and well recommended.

Siamo stati qui per colazione andando a Dean Village, il locale è molto carino e confortevole, buona scelta sia per una colazione dolce che salata, e soprattutto da italiano devo dire che qui ho bevuto il cappuccino più buono della mia vita: era davvero perfetto! Personale molto gentile, prezzi giusti. Consigliatissimo!

Popped in for a handy quick brunch before checking into our hotel, food amazing, sadly didn't get to try a filled cookie but looked yum, such quirky decor, and their flat white is to die for, visited every morning for our coffee fix

Easily the best cafe is Edinburgh! Not only are the staff delightful, the coffee perfection, and the scran top notch, but the cause that they are working towards is one of the most heartwarming and vital that i’ve seen in our city. I had a smashing cappuccino and scone the other day, and I couldn’t be prouder to support this place. The best spot in town.

Lovely deli & cafe to eat in or take away. The Stornaway Black pudding, tattie scone & poached egg in a roll was lovely. The carrot cake homemade and delicious. The staff are so friendly. The old oven is a real feature. Spotlessly clean. It was lovely to be able to buy cheeses from all over Scotland here. Defo recommend and return.

The food and drinks were excellent cooked exactly to order. The café is compact with 4 tables for 2 so space is tight for such a busy concern. We have no objection to the presence of dogs however a large boisterous puppy isn’t an ideal dining companion. It’s a shame that our experience was tainted hence the 3/5 instead of 5/5 star rating as would have otherwise scored. Please note no offence is intended

The eggs florentine was somewhat disappointing for the hefty price. Two eggs were both with solid yolks and the sourdough underneath was more of a over-toasted shard than an actual slice. I was hungry afterwards.

Originally went to Piecebox to visit (outwith normal hours) to deliver stuff for Ukraine so decided to follow up one day when I was in the area during normal hours for coffee and cake. Coffee was excellent and the cake delicious but I think the service was a little under par (shortage of staff perhaps ?) . . . .but still OK.
