The Thistle Stop - Edinburgh, City of

Love this little place, tucked down a close just off the Royal Mile. We pop in each time we're in Edinburgh. On this occasion we visited with my elderly mum and had lunch. all 3 of us couldn't resist the Haggis and cheese jacket potatoes, mum had black pudding on the side. Delicious, prepared to order, lovely service and reasonably priced.

How lucky we were to get a wee table for 4 on a very cold December morning. Coffee, scones and carrot cake hit the spot with lovely friendly service. We watched the other breakfasts coming out of the kitchen and how I wished that I had hadn’t eaten breakfast that morning. Great wee place, and it is wee but perfect formed.

While visiting Edinburgh with friends, we decided to treat them to a classic café experience. We stumbled upon this charming café on our way to the castle and were greeted warmly. We sat at a cozy table near the kitchen in the bustling atmosphere. We ordered coffee and scones, which were both fantastic - creamy coffee and fresh, delicious scones. It was the perfect treat on a chilly day. We plan to return next time for some Scotch pie and beans. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. Highly recommend it.

Nice and friendly place, food was nice too, stuff are very cure and friendly, after all day walking we was relaxed here and very welcomed, I 'll be back for sure

Beautiful family run cafe all very polite people couldn’t fault the food either was absolutely beautiful. So close to Edinburgh castle.
