Maxi's - Edinburgh, City of

Enticed by the cake and pastry display in the window, we decided to stop by for breakfast. The granola dish (£6) and bacon ciabatta roll (£4) were both beautifully prepared and delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick. Despite the tempting cakes, we opted to pass as it was breakfast time. The only downside was the cold draft coming in from the open window for takeout customers.

Excellent food and very handy for the Tattoo. Nearly didn 't bother as website implied it was fully booked. Apparently, a lot of problems with 'no-shows ' so shut the online booking system. Glad we just walked in!

Good quick service. Very cozy inside. Warm and friendly waitress. We had fish and chips again. It was quite good. Only 1 toilet per gender so a bit of a wait. They seem to be quite proud of their Haggis but I was warned before my trip to avoid that particular dish.

I want to express my gratitude for the great service, reasonable prices, and delicious food at this restaurant. Our party of 10 was well taken care of. While this isn't a fancy bistro, it definitely delivers in all other aspects.

My second visit here, the first one leaving me distinctly underwhelmed. However this visit just seemed to go better. You go to the counter to order your meal and I was offered the opportunity to pay then or later. I had a spicy bean concoction with extra bacon and an Americano with hot milk on the side. My youngest had the spicy bean dish but without the extra bacon (he doesn't like bacon !?! , and a smoothie with beetroot and blueberries in it...I know it sounds horrific, and I personally loath beetroot, but to be fair it was ok. The service was by three red haired, cheerful and effective waitresses. The chef came and went just as effectively but seemed less cheerfull !! Good food, good service, and good value.
