“ Absolutely delicious vegan and gluten-free breakfast. You have two options for breakfast. One is the regular full breakfast that contains gluten and the other one is gluten-free variance of the full breakfast. We went with the gluten-free, which was excellent! Great selection of coffee and tea drinks as well. Very friendly service as well! Cute outside patio! ”
“ We only had 2 nights in Edinburgh but loved our first day's lunch so much we had to come back twice. Great food, loved the restaurant. Their soup specials, Ruben, vietnamese tofu were fantastic ”
“ We’ve eaten the lunch with my wife and have been greatly welcomed by the waiter, he even took a photo of us for the souvenir! The food was excellent and it was very generous. We’ve took one oyster mushroom steak burger and a Vietnamese tofu burger. The mushrooms were super crispy at the outside and perfectly chewy at the inside, and the tartare sauce was super tasty. The tofu was ferm and the sauce was a bit spicy, you will be able to recognize some Vietnamese flavors thanks to the mint and the carrot. We recommend this place a lot. ”
“ Incredibly tasty food! Great service, staff were so so lovely. Big selection of delicious cakes, I had the tiramisu which was absolutely perfect. I also had the rueben sandwich, the lovely waitress convinced me to try the pickles as I originally asked for it to be without as I usually can't stand them, but oh my goodness they were so so tasty! Sandwich was huge and packed full of flavour. Definitely recommended! Thank you so much! ”
