Cafe Montagu - Edinburgh, City of

Mary has been a shining light for our community during lockdown with her exceptional service. The restaurant offers delicious homemade bread, cakes, and a variety of deli foods.

Throughout the current Covid crisis, Mary (the owner) has kept her restaurant open in accordance with government regulations. This has been a blessing for individuals like myself who enjoy starting their day with a cup of coffee in a warm and inviting atmosphere. In addition to serving as a cafe, Mary's establishment also functions as a deli, offering fresh Scottish raspberries that she personally sources from a farm in Perthshire. It is crucial that we show our support for Mary, just as she has supported us during these challenging times. Currently, the cafe only operates as a shop and takeaway, a decision that I believe is very wise considering the uncertain nature of the current crisis. The cafe is open five days a week, with Sunday and Monday being the only days it is closed.

Cafe Montagu has transformed into a welcoming small cafe offering delicious cakes and quality coffee. In addition to their original menu, they now also sell artisan bread, cheese, salami, and various other deli items, filling a void in the Goldenacre neighborhood.

Wonderful cakes scones. Full Scottish breakfast good too. Will also make birthday etc cakes to order. Raspberry jam is wonderful.

My favourite place to visit at Goldenacre for a pot of tea and great selection of scones (with butter and home made jam). The background music gentle and not intrusive with Nary and her staff always welcoming. Excellent value for money and good menu selection, but go early for the still warm scones. Yesterday’s selection were cherry, raspberry, fruit, plain or cheese yum!
