Good place to try traditional Scottish classics. Tried haggis for the first time here and enjoyed it (is it something I'd eat again? Prob not but I'm glad I tried it). They also make a great sticky toffee pudding. Staff were friendly and it's in a convenient location with a great view of Victoria Street. read more

Delicious food and excellent location! Service was friendly as well. The brioche French toast was scrumptious.

Many times I am wary of dining close to a "tourist" area due to the type of fare and atmosphere. Scotts Kitchen was none of that. We needed a small bite to eat along with a place to warm ourselves. It was cozy, filled with locals. They have a good selection of small plates, then we added a bowl of soup. The sourdough bread was especially good. Really all of it was delicious. They do offer a good variety of dishes, making it a nice spot when you have several people wanting different things. Need to mention our server, Shea, was lovely. Very attentive along with being so friendly and polite. Highly recommend! read more

Not my favorite breakfast if I had to be honest. The beans were too liquify and seemed to have big chunks of stewed tomatoes which wasn't for me. The sausages and haggis were good but only came with one egg. We asked for sauce and it never came and also more eggs and they came as we were finishing. Overall just ok. read more

Amazing; relaxing!! Food was delightful!!! I highly recommend this place!!? Good place for breakfast

Really amazing breakfast spot right on Victoria street. Would recommend coming early to beat the queue. Service is friendly, and you get to try various traditional Scottish food with your breakfast. I ordered 2 eggs over avocado toast with haggis, blood pudding, and sausage - it was extremely hearty. Recommend. read more

Delicious food and drinks! We ate on the patio overlooking Victoria St and really enjoyed it. It was a great way to enjoy the area and the festivities, without being stuck in the crowd below! read more

We loved the ambiance right away; such a cute little place overlooking Victoria street. We came for breakfast after reading great reviews on TripAdvisor. Scott's kitchen did not disappoint. I ordered the poached egg with avocado on toast. Absolute perfection. Everything was so fresh and the toast was nice and crispy. My husband loved his order on blood sausage with the eggs. We also had some hot chocolate and chai tea, which were seriously delicious. It was a perfect start to the day and we'd recommend Scott's kitchen to anyone visiting Edinburgh. read more

Great location, great food, great service, and a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Highest rating because you get all of the above for a reasonable cost. Hungry on the Royal Mile? Stop in; you won't be disappointed. read more

Without a reservation in August we were turned away, but thankfully got a reservation for the next evening. Enjoyed our food, the service and the team spirit of the servers and host. read more

Lovely service and food. Traditional Scottish breakfast was delicious as were the eggs Benedict. Lovely restaurant.

Lovely place in the upper terrace of Victoria street. The place feels intimate, with small tables and people close together, while at the same time light and airy, with tall ceilings and big windows that let in a lovely light, even on a rainy day. The food is excellent! The "award-winning" haggis was superb, at least, to me. I have little experience with it so few reference points. Braised beef was good; salad was well done. One thing that surprised me was the presentation was quite artful despite my impression of this place more of a bistro. While I didn't try them, there's a separate and extensive menu for alcohol and soft drinks, including fancy hot chocolate, smoothies, and rhubarb soda, to just name some examples. Bathrooms: Super-nice. Like, suburban corporate office nice. And numerous, including one with a baby-changing station. read more

The service was surprisingly fast! The waitress, Francesca, was very welcoming and attentive. I feel like we ordered and had our food within a 10 minute window. This location also had a great view of the royal mile. We ordered the venison casserole and the haggis. Everything was very good and would definitely recommend to any looking for a delicious Scottish meal. read more

I'd try again. The service was excellent. The food pretty good but not many choices. We arrived at opening with a reservation and two of us wanted their "fresh scones" but we were informed neither of the two types offered would be ready for another 20 minutes. Not good. The outdoor seating was fantastic with great views. The amount of time it took to get our food seemed long, so definitely don't come if you're on a time crunch. Best aspect was the waitresses: they were all very sweet! read more

Had a lovely full Scottish breakfast! The meal was beautifully prepared, and the staff did an excellent job. Highly recommended! read more

Great food and drinks, even better service. Nice view of Victoria Street from the cozy restaurant.

I was looking for a good breakfast spot and couldn't have been happier. The eggs Benedict was prepared perfectly, the coffee was strong which I like and the service was excellent. They have outside tables which needed to be reserved but the ambiance indoors was very pleasant and comfortable. I'm going back on my second day today since I was so pleased and can't imagine doing better. It's conveniently located but not on the Royal Mile which is so busy made it a more pleasant experience. read more

Make the time for breakfast here and don't worry about anything other than having the experience and the amazing flavors. The baked beans are like nothing I have experienced on this planet, and everything is done from scratch in hand to create the flavors that are fresh and tangy. The egg was perfect, the veggie haggis and the blood pudding (yes, I know an odd combo) were so damn flavorful I nearly cried. Service (Chloe et al) was lovely and precisely what I needed. I could have done with a bit less butter on my toast, but that was easily remedied. This was honestly one of favorite breakfasts in 2024. read more

My bestfriend and I were in Edinburgh for the first time and we wanted to try sticky toffee pudding which was recommended and popped in here just as they closed, but Abby was the sweetest most amazing server and was able to get us seated for a quick toffee pudding with coffee. Her lovely hospitality made the experience, along with the delicious toffee pudding, that much more memorable. Will be recommending this place to friends and family. Thank you Abby! read more

Food was fantastic, the service by Laura was superb! She was friendly observant and sweet! The location was fun and the view was nice!

Came in for breakfast and was excited to try everything after the great reviews. Service was nice and the individuals were open to asking for items as needed. The food was the disappointing piece - I ordered the poached eggs with avocado toast and roasted tomatoes. The eggs were almost hard boiled and the toast was burnt. The only saving elements were the mushrooms and the cheese scone I grabbed as I was leaving. Maybe it was an off day for the kitchen. read more

Great location, good prices, great quality, outdoor seating, kind staff. Toilets are clean and plentiful. A small cafe - great for couples or groups of 4. read more

Great location/view. Friendly and attentive staff. Open faced Brie sandwich was tasty.

Best, freshest meal in all of Edinburgh and friendliest staff. Given the touristy heart of the city it resides in we didn't feel it.

Scott's Kitchen was our go-to breakfast spot while staying in Edinburgh. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service on point. Their take on the traditional full Scottish breakfast--Scotts big breakfast and the vegetarian version were a perfect antidote for our jet lag. Now I see they've added guacamole to it. Even better! Bright, clean and charming, Scott's was our favorite morning stop. Right around the corner from the upper Section of the Royal Mile, Victoria Terrace and Street are a treat all their own! read more

After wandering away from the Royal Mile in search of breakfast, we happened upon Scotts Kitchen. It's on Victoria Terrace, with a lovely view down onto popular Victoria Street. Inside there were only a handful of other diners. The staff greeted us warmly, sat us promptly, and gave us time to review the menus. I had coffee, a smoothie, and toast with avocado. Everything was good. I recommend it. read more

Pre-booked a reservation (recommended) prior to going to Edinburgh and the table was ready waiting for us. Just know that it is not street level. You have to go upstairs; a little confusing at first. Got there about 20 minutes early, but no problem, the table was ready. Busy place, but obviously because of what is to follow. Our first time in Edinburgh and we decided to try the Haggis against initial judgement and advice, but glad we did! This was amazing!!! Local beer, croque monsieur, and stew was all on point. Very reasonably priced and a short walk to Edinburgh castle. Oh, and my son was with us and he had just graduated so they threw in a complimentary Preseco. 1st rate all the way. Don't pass up this gem. Cheers! read more
