Food Scene
They do fabulous breakfasts and brunches with locally sourced food - their menu changes depending on what is in season. They open a lot earlier than a lot of other cafes in Edinburgh (8am Mon-Fri) so are great if you are looking for an early breakfast before heading on a sightseeing trip!

Our favourite Indian restaurant in Edinburgh, it's within walking distance of the apartment and the owner is lovely! She will cook the dishes according to your preferences i.e. I always ask for very mild and Garry always asks for very hot. It's BYOB and there is no corkage fee.
