They have coffees and teas of course but what definitely drew me in was the fantastic selection of homemade cakes. The carrot cake was absolutely fabulous! They also have a good menu of beers and wines as well as more substantial food. The beautifully decorated, modern interior is cosy and was brimming with people the entire time we were there on a Sunday afternoon. McTaggart's also has a handy location on High Street with a two minute walk to the train station, making it the perfect place to go after enjoying a day out to relax or warm up before a train out of town.

Doesn't help the fact that it was a bank holiday. We manage to book a table while there but it wouldn't be ready for half and hour or so. It was ok, we ended up grabbing a couple of pints and seated near the bar. They did offer us a hi top table of we were interested instead of waiting for a table. But, we declined. Once we got seated, which was better as we had a table along the window with the water view. Dinner with a view. Our waiter was amazing, friendly and always with a smile. Chatted with us which was quite nice as some place just wanted you to order right when you sit down. Menu, good selection. Except that they ran out of oysters. We wanted a dozen, which then found out that they inky had five available. Which then ended up being three. Seafood restaurant, along the waterfront and they were out of oyster. During a bank holiday, that sucked. Beside that, the mussels were amazing. Cocked in the broth that was quite tasty. As well as the pate with the chutney. Our main was quite good as well. Everything was flavorful. With every single bite, there was no room for dessert. Overall, service was great. Highly recommend booking a table even if it's mid week as it does get quite busy. They have a full bar. Out door seating along the patio that overlooks the water is beautiful. It wasn't t open as it was quite chilly but on a nice sunny day, it's worth it. Food was great, staff all very friendly, good food and good vibes.

I also tried their cauliflower wings which were crispy and cooked well with still enough bite to not be soggy. I had the Biscoff cheesecake that was excellent. It was sweet and creamy but had a light texture and wasn't too dense. Overall, this is a great spot to grab a quick dinner in Edinburgh.

As someone who truly loved little about Scotch, it was a wonderful way to taste and compare smoky vs peaty whiskeys. Fun.

Our choices were truly delicious. We started with the fish board, olives, and mushroom skewer. We loved them all. I enjoyed the cod main dish, while my wife finished the starters. The side of asparagus was also excellent. The mouse dessert was delicious but very rich, it's enough for 4 people. The cost of dinner was also totally reasonable. I recommend this place highly.

When we arrived at noon (opening time), the restaurant wasn't too busy. There is an impressive bar downstairs with many whiskies. We were led upstairs to the dining area. There is outdoor dining too that would be nice if the weather was warmer. Cool vibe, but it is kind of dark inside the stone walls. The menu is Scottish-focused with seasonal ingredients. We didn't want to overeat, so we decided to share a starter and a main. We got the Scottish venison fritters, which were ok. We enjoyed the pappardelle pasta (roast pumpkin and pecorino sauce, wild mushrooms, spinach, bacon and poppy seed crumb, crispy sage). It was flavorful and didn't feel too heavy. Staff were friendly and it was an enjoyable lunch.
