"Would highly recommend getting the Edinburgh Mist (kind of resembles a london fog drink . The nutella waffle was a nice afternoon snack. The staff were very attentive and nice. The only tip for improvement I can give is to make the seating a bit more comfortable :"

A great go to place for breakfast, lunch or a cake. Been here many times. Was a bit shocked to be served a fruit scone that had been toasted. Soon changed.

Even though it was very busy, the service was courteous and friendly. I was able to get the chai latte with oat milk upon request and the vegan chocolate clementine cake was super delicious :

A very nice place for a quick bite to eat between 2 visits to Edinburgh. Tasty vegetable quiches served hot by very friendly young staff. A very pleasant break that we recommend without reservation.

They said they couldn’t give us take away food as soon as we walked in, which was ok, as we were there for only take away coffee anyway. But then the barista decided he cannot even do “to-go” coffees for us because the kitchen is backed up. This is a first.

I found the cafe has a good ambience and good food, but they didn't know how to make a pot of tea placing a plastic (non biodegradable) tea bag alongside the tea pot rather than in the pot. Service was slow considering the number of staff hence it was pricey.

"new kapitel has caught my attention after I was on top ten on trip advisor only months after the opening in the oktober last year. that and the fact that it is open for my early january birthday, made it the perfect place to celebrate to become a little older. I was with the man and his family. the man is quite used to my taste and good to the kind of kitchen that would appeal to me for a special occasion; his family not so much and I was filled with shame as his mother scornful went through the menu trying to find something she would enjoy. I've eaten with the family of the man, and I know they enjoy eating, so I think it's a failure of the menu that it is not accessible. the benming always blooming and garnish can appeal to some, but for others it is overcomplicated and it is necessary to find a balance between the two. we start with the starters and I go for venison sour wort pithvier. the venison was underheated and incredibly dry, to the happiness the sourded a little moisturizing and so saved the whole dish, but the aromen were quite not clear, except the garnitur of plastered mushrooms I thoroughly enjoyed. for the largest part we chose a fish dish for our main,- sea trout, smoked muddles, petersilien and coast herbs. where the starter fell, the main recording is getting back. the dish is rich and creamy, and each element adds the complexity of the taste as a whole, without disturbing. the concept is now an old one, and it would be deceptive if it had not worked, as it would essentially pay with this place. I enjoyed my meal in new chapter, although I do not agree with it is stellar status under the hierarchy of edinburgh eateries. it is top ten position is just a flash in the pan of hot popularity, and in time it will be plated in the upper half of the middle stage where it belongs. and that is where it belongs, the dishes can be plated with a michelin star in understood, and the venue and the supporting media has the clean lines and empty slate look of fine but eat the team has a long gone to go if that is their real aim. at the end, although it was a beautiful meal, and cheap (at the moment I would not be surprised to see their prices slowly rise) and the man’s mother found something they enjoyed and that is the most important."
