"My second visit here, the first one leaving me distinctly underwhelmed. However this visit just seemed to go better. You go to the counter to order your meal and I was offered the opportunity to pay then or later. I had a spicy bean concoction with extra bacon and an Americano with hot milk on the side. My youngest had the spicy bean dish but without the extra bacon (he doesn't like bacon !?! , and a smoothie with beetroot and blueberries in it...I know it sounds horrific, and I personally loath beetroot, but to be fair it was ok. The service was by three red haired, cheerful and effective waitresses. The chef came and went just as effectively but seemed less cheerfull !! Good food, good service, and good value."

Now renamed Cowan and sons. Good breakfast. Nice spicy eggs, also good hollandaise. They could do with some more veggie options such as sausages or hallumi .

Excellent food and very handy for the Tattoo. Nearly didn 't bother as website implied it was fully booked. Apparently, a lot of problems with 'no-shows ' so shut the online booking system. Glad we just walked in!

I want to express my gratitude for the great service, reasonable prices, and delicious food at this restaurant. Our party of 10 was well taken care of. While this isn't a fancy bistro, it definitely delivers in all other aspects.

Good quick service. Very cozy inside. Warm and friendly waitress. We had fish and chips again. It was quite good. Only 1 toilet per gender so a bit of a wait. They seem to be quite proud of their Haggis but I was warned before my trip to avoid that particular dish.

This is a nice place and our brunches were good. I had eggs benedict with spinach and salmon (particularly tasty) and my friend had a full breakfast which she enjoyed. The slow service is a shame though. Just over half an hour for what we had surely being busy for brunch on a Saturday in Stockbridge should come as no surprise...why wouldn't they plan staffing accordingly?!

Enticed by the cake and pastry display in the window, we decided to stop by for breakfast. The granola dish (£6) and bacon ciabatta roll (£4) were both beautifully prepared and delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick. Despite the tempting cakes, we opted to pass as it was breakfast time. The only downside was the cold draft coming in from the open window for takeout customers.

This place is tucked off the Royal Mile, downstairs. Nice, cozy stone walls and decor. Has a narrow back balcony with seating (shared with a few other places) that overlooks Victoria Street. Very cool, and would have day out there but many folks were smoking. Food was pretty good...we had the pork chop special which was a little bland, and the seafood linguini which my teenaged daughter really liked. Very pleasant service, and would go again, but really bummed we couldn't go out back with all the smoke.

The food and coffee are nice, if very pricey. I had had nice eggs Florentine there several times, with a side of their wonderful mushrooms: two large or 3 smallish flat mushrooms each time. The next time I went, I was given a single small mushroom, for which I was charged something like £1.50, which was insulting. Also, the waitstaff are unsmiling and monosyllabic, which kills the atmosphere. It's a shame. With friendlier service and a proper portion of mushrooms, this would have been a four-star review.

I recently had lunch at Cowan and Sons. The soup was delicious, but I was disappointed by the carrot cake I ordered - I received the hard crust instead of the soft cake. The waitress was not very friendly, and my tea did not come with a chocolate biscuit like all the others did. The lack of attention to detail was disappointing. The overall customer service was not great, especially considering the prices. I usually don't write negative reviews, but I felt it was necessary in this case. A smile and attention to detail can make a tired, stressed mom like myself very happy.
