"My wife and I decided to pop by here for breakfast a couple of weeks ago, and boy, are we glad we did. We luckily managed to get a last minute booking as it was quite busy. The café itself exudes an earthy charm, filled with home grown plants, creating a welcoming ambiance. The staff were welcoming on arrival and accommodating throughout our visit. The menu has a great selection from your usual go to breakfasts/lunches, to some more unique options. Thankfully the menu wasn’t too vast that and it was manageable to choose. For drinks we got a couple of smoothies. Both were excellent and flavoursome. For food my wife went with the full Scottish. They forgot the beans but it was quickly rectified. My wife couldn’t complain about her breakfast. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. I probably would’ve preferred more runny beans which you could lather the other food in but she quite likes the thicker beans. I was a greedy chops and got 2 items. Firstly I had the toasted brioche roll with Pork sausage, tattie scone and sriracha mayo. This was simple but so amazing!! Bun was crispy on the outer and soft centre. The mayo just hit the spot, yum yum! Easily the best breakfast roll I’ve ever had. I was drawn to the lumberjack French toast so I also indulged into this as well. The toast was like slabs so thick! The smothering sauce was delicious. Amazing texture and wonderful taste. Overall a tremendous breakfast and experience. Very satisfied. I have since been again and the standards have been kept."

Not great, tables a bit sticky and staff while friendly and polite got the order wrong twice. Plain avo on toast order came topped with poached eggs, chilli sauce and rocket. Food okay but more complicated than needed to be. King Benedict made with sriracha mayo instead of hollandaise. Worth trying but there's better options in Edinburgh.

Second time visiting The Birchwood and it’s a lovely spot for some wholesome brunch. Great selection on the menu and the staff kitchen are very accommodating when it comes to substitutions which is so appreciated! Service could be a bit faster and the toilets could do with more regular attention cleaning as they were pretty messy during the visit. View menu

During my visit to Edinburgh City for the fringe festival, I found myself near Meadows Park and decided to try out The Birchwood bistro wine bar cafe for breakfast. The homemade dishes on the menu were delicious, the coffee was exceptional, the staff were friendly, and the outdoor seating was a nice touch. I returned in the evening on a Friday during my week-long stay for dinner and enjoyed a selection of decent Spanish tapas, meat and cheese boards, and a variety of wines and spirits. The atmosphere was very cozy, and I will definitely visit again and recommend this wonderful spot for a Scottish breakfast to brunch during the weekends. I look forward to coming back soon.

Customer service was quite awful. One girl was just not nice, the other one was lovely but they never check on you, they forgot stuff every time like cutlery or salt and pepper and it took ages for them to stop chatting or only take care of new or paying customers, they took ages to remove my plate and then the not so nice girl told me they needed the table by 1pm which was 40 mins away. Didn't expect to stay that long but since she didn't bring cutlery nor came to check if the food was fine for a while, I couldn't start eating and then I wanted the bill for a while but just had to wait cause they wouldn't even check my table and it's a tiny place, she then just looked annoyed I was still th...
