The Birchwood - Edinburgh, City of

The birchwood is a beautiful cozy restaurant at the top of the marchmont road (at the street level) and serves excellent breakfast. even if they are not in haggis (there is a vegetarian option) or black pudding (out of stornoway outsourced, and considered the best) the breakfast options are excellent. also first class coffee. sit is suitable and flexible for different sizes of (small) groups, the decoration follows largely the former toast (at the same place) with local quality work. the employees are attentive, helpful and accommodating.

Update: on my second visit we went early to enjoy our breakfast when it is quiet. the food was delicious and the staff was friendly. my original 5-star rating lasts. a nice caffe with a decent selection of delicious snacks and dine. they have the usual breakfast dishes that would be expected and some unique shakes like cocos milk and honey. They also have vegetarian and vegan friendly options. the personal was friendly and efficient and the inner has a beautiful, easy to reach atmosphere. it was pretty busy on a Sunday morning that really loud in the inside, but I guess most are used to it. a great place to have a snack and meet with friends and family.

We fell back from the birchwood for a brunch. all the dishes we had ordered were very good. the classic French toast and mixed mushrooms on sourdough toast was both delicious. but the cook had clearly surpassed with the banana french toast. a medley of arome and textures that was the perfect Sunday consumption! service was warm, fast and friendly. a wonderful experience!

This is a very pleasant place. Quiet and cosy ambiance, tasty seed and cheese scones and a nice cuppa coffee along with a friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

A cute cafe with good breakfast options for vegetarians and vegans.
