The larger restaurant is amazing for all the other meals but the little larder is an amazing breakfast spot. The service is excellent and they treat you like family. Helpful and very accommodating if needed. The place is small (hence little larder) but worth any wait as you will not be disappointed. Go, order the traditional breakfast and coffee or tea, sit back and enjoy.

I made a reservation the night before to try their full Scottish breakfast…read more I arrived a little early, the larder has two store fronts on the same address! Once one area is full they will sit u to the other area! I was sitting right by the window and it was lovely. The decor is cozy and homie! The server is very friendly and I ordered full Scottish breakfast to try out everything and chai latte. It came fairly fast and it was a very full dish. I tried all the food and they are all yummy. The blood pudding is not quite my favorite. And the bean with the red sauce is a little too spicy for me. But overall it is very good. Chai latte is super yummy and not overly sweet!

A panini with per-peri chicken, hot chilli sauce, mozarella and jalapenos is utterly fantastic, and at this particlar branch of Baguette Express they're quite happy to pile on the fillings as well, ensuring you'll be stuffed and satisfied upon your exit. I'm also quite partial to an egg and bacon roll in the morning as well, which at just99p is not to be sniffed at. Cheaper than most of the nearby options, delicious, and with friendly staff, it's top marks all round.

My expectations weren't super high for this spot because I thought it was just meat and bread and…read morewouldn't be that mindblowing. I was proven wrong. Line moves quickly. Limited seating inside. We both got the oink size on white bread with mustard mayo - one with sage & onion stuffing, and one with haggis stuffing. Both were so delicious. The pork was so juicy and tender. The sage & onion stuffing and haggis stuffing both added an extra layer of flavor. We also loved the mustard mayo sauce.

I stopped here shortly before leaving Edinburgh on the train. This was my last meal in Edinburgh…read moreand very delicious. There is usually a line outside this simple restaurant but possibly due to the light rain, the line was fairly short when I went. I only waited for like 5 minutes. The menu is simple as the roasted hog/pig is the only thing on the menu. You can choose a few things to customize the sandwich or even order it in a box. I ordered the Oink size (medium) on wheat bread and chose sage and onion for my topping and then the Homemade Mustard Mayo for the sauce. They make it in front of you and it is fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately when I went they were out of cracklings. They wrap it in foil and hand it to you. Pretty simple and efficient. I love that the outside of the building is painted pink like a pig (coincidence? Probably not). This is a good place to try for a quick, cheap and yummy sandwich. They do this one thing very well. Please open more of these!

Don't miss this gem. The people who worked there were some of the most engaging and friendly people…read moreI have met. Truly great people, and not just one of them, all 3. It's the kind of place you feel like there is a positive vibe both from a service perspective and from an employment perspective that pervades the essence of the service. But also, these were just lovely people. The food was phenomenal. I had the hot italian panini toasted and my daughter had the millionaires shortbread (which means covered in caramel and chocolate!) Both were terrific. The sandwich was hot, both in temperature and spice levels, with a great texture, an herby pesto, gooey cheese, and delicious hot peppers. I was convinced to give the Irn Brew a shot. "As Scottish as haggis!" he said. I'm not sure I loved the Scottish soda but I was glad for the adventure and the Scottish experience! In an area popular with tourists there are often many places where the service is not amazing because they know you may never come back and their employers are focused on churning as many people through as possible. In those places it often seems more time is spent on the descriptions of the food and advertising than the food and experience itself. Or, there are chains, like the Starbucks literally right there. This was not the case. This place was special. The food and the people compete for excellence (although the people win in my opinion!) If you miss this, you are missing out. We are leaving the early tomorrow and I want to try and get there for breakfast! Just terrific.

Fortunately, my wife could grab a salad box that was gluten free at Global Deli (or known as the Deli Global if the sign is any indication) and I grabbed a bacon roll and a haggis roll. Overall, it was good for what we needed to have on the go. It took a few minutes for my rolls to get done. The bacon roll was good, which worked well with the thickness of the roll. The haggis roll didn't feel as voluminous enough where you tasted more of the bread than the haggis. The millionaire bar was very good and held up well on the train ride back to London.

Walk up to the counter when ready to order. Inside and outdoor seating, but indoor is elbow to elbow; small tables on top of each other. The Peter's Special was very good, minus the goat cheese seemingly overpowering the whole sandwich. But again, it was good. I would eat there again. Interior decor and atmosphere; it feels like it's African / Hippy mix. The music and African masks on the wall plus the Edinburgh prints hanging on the wall for sale, it's a cool laid back vibe.

Staff seem a tad harried at times, but they are kind and polite, and take the time to explain the menu if you want them to. FYI, there's a sign saying there's no laptops allowed. The menu switches at 12pm, but the Full Scottish Breakfast is on both. I tried it and it was fabulous. The "Luxury Hot Chocolate" was honestly kind of meh from a taste perspective. Felt like American powdered, sugary hot chocolate (as contrasted with European dark, hot chocolate). But the presentation was to die for. See photo. They seem known for their cake. I tried that on one visit, blueberry and lemon, and it was great. Moist, flavorful, and decadent. And not a massive portion, which I appreciate. Bathrooms: Basement level. Decently clean and functional. Medium spaciousness.

Not my favorite and I know it's tough to compare with avocado toast in California Maybe next time I'd try their blueberry pancakes? Or maybe try Scran which is next door?

I came in for a coffee and (read: redeeming quality, I swear I am a good person) paid for a few extra coffees to pay it forward. Gosh I love the concept. But the coffee was just AWFUL. I knew it the second the cup of burnt milk touched my hands and I couldn't hold it for longer than a few seconds without swapping hands. It was unbearable and I won't live my life drinking bad coffee. I went around the corner and threw it in the bin. Its a fantastic concept really, but the coffee needs to be at least halfway decent. Nobody deserves to drink what I had in my burnt little hands. I'm willing to give it another try, but I struggle to to believe one can bounce back from that- it wasn't an off day, it was an awful coffee.

I have been here twice now, and the food has been great. The first time I had a chicken curry that was the special of the day. It was a big portion size and I probably wouldn't have complained if it was bigger since it tasted so good. Most recently I took advantage of their lunch deal: soup + sandwich or wrap + piece of fruit for only 4.95. My chicken fajita wrap was tasty, but I most enjoyed the carrot and orange soup... so good.
