"seeds for the soul is definitiw one of the best in edinburgh specialized in vegan dishes. we had a bowl and a pack that were thought in the combinations of ingredients, great in taste and generous in portions. also they love the smoothies “Good morning coffee lovers” with espresso, kakao, bananen and mandelmilch, a killer mix! and remember to leave something space for the cakes here that would be sad to miss."

"Probably the quirkiest place in the capital for breakfast. Small, compact but very comfortable. Everything cooked fresh to order by the same guy who waits on the tables. In fact he does everything. Gid only knows how he has the time to do it all. We ate on a Sunday morning so it was pretty full inside but we didnt mind the wait. I opted for the full Scottish breakfast which was great value. 10 items for under a tenner. My wife opted for porridge with honey and a custom breakfast which allows you to choose 4 breakfast items from the menu, served with toast. The black coffee was served in a mug which was a nice touch. Can't beat a mug of coffee on a Sunday morning. Total bill for 2 breakfasts and 4 coffees came in at under £30. As a footnote, we enjoyed it so much, we went back the next morning."

"My son and his gf have been raving about this place for ages, they are regulars but even after the covid closures their favourite orders were remembered. Having lunch here with them felt like they were taking me round to a mate's place, we were all made to feel so welcome. Then the food arrived and oh my, simple food expertly prepared, delicious and satisfying. The Sudanese tea was delightful too. I can see why they come here so often. We were saying that we will have to try their private dining room option soon. 3 courses for £25, with no corkage for BYOB sounds like the ideal place to have a get together. Certainly a bargain but I have heard that the curries here are to die for which makes it even better value. Delicious, healthy, filling , super friendly and cheap, what's not to love."

"Tiny and intimate basement restaurant in Stockbridge with a warm welcome and genuine authentic Italian food which is an order of magnitude above even good Italian eateries. The young couple who own and run it (husband front-of-house, wife cooking) do a fantastic flavour-packed 5- or 7-course tasting menu, with the a la carte option on Thursday and Sunday. We shared a charcuterie platter to start (all sourced from a mountain village in the Marche, with crusty focaccia and peppery olive oil; followed by sweet (and v tender) octopus for my wife and and perfectly cooked, savoury wild mallard breast with pistachios and cavolo nero for me. Brilliantly done, deep deep flavours. As a pudding the goat cheese Seada with figs and honey was absolutely superb: a crispy deep-fried “raviolo” filled with salty goat cheese and balanced by the honey. To kill for. Not joking. Good selection of less-known Italian wines, including several from the Marche region. Not ridiculously expensive, cosy and great vfm. Lovely folk too; food made with love and hospitality."

"My partner and I decided to try this restaurant after reading all of the great reviews and seeing pictures of the food. We traveled about 25 minutes from our hotel to get there. I ordered the Mac and cheese melt with sweet potato fries, while my partner got the Philly cheesesteak melt with loaded tater tots. We were the only customers in the restaurant, but there were a lot of orders coming in online. Our food arrived quickly and my Mac and cheese melt was absolutely delicious. The bread was amazing and the filling was hot and gooey. The chili cheese dip was also really good. We will definitely be returning when we visit Edinburgh again, and next time I think I'll get the tater tots for myself – they were so tasty!"
