"Although just minutes away from bustling and slightly scruffy Leith Walk, venture to the eastern part of Leith Links and you 'll find a completely different atmosphere. Here, among the gracious pillared houses that line this part of the park, you feel as if you 're in a quiet and genteel suburb. Bijou Bistro, which aptly describes itself as A Local Eatery fits right in here, a cafe/restaurant that is a hub for well to-do mothers with small children in tow calling in for a coffee and a piece of cake during the day, or couples enjoying a self-indulgent brunch at the weekend. There is also a full evening menu, where each dish can be ordered in one of three sizes, bijou , medium, or main, a slightly gimmicky innovation, but one that does allow those with small appetites (or budgets) to try a few different items. The only thing I 've tried so far was the veggie breakfast, which was generous and satisfying, made more enjoyable by the establishment 's laid back vibe, tasteful decoration and large, light windows looking over the Links. This is certainly a nice place, meriting a return visit."
