About The Foodies Bistro

On Teviot Place in Edinburgh, The Foodies Bistro is a walk-in bistro built around an all-day breakfast menu. The Bistro Waffle comes topped with eggs, smashed avocado, hash brown, and grilled pita, alongside eggs Florentine and poached eggs with avocado and feta. Pancakes with Nutella and fruit sit next to porridge topped with fresh fruit, while the full Scottish breakfast brings bacon, sausage, meat pudding, mushroom, bread, pancake, and hash brown together on one plate. Breakfast rolls and a soup of the day round out the choices. Seating is first come, first served, with no reservations taken. Background music, including Elvis, plays through the room, and on warmer days the windows are opened, letting in sound from the street outside.

Customer Review Summary

The Full Scottish Breakfast is the dish reviewers raise most, with tasty bacon, sausage, meat pudding, juicy mushroom and a pancake on a nicely designed plate. Close behind are poached eggs with avocado and feta, the Bistro Waffle topped with eggs, lime smashed avocado and hash brown, and porridge with ripe fresh fruit. Others single out the eggs Florentine, pancakes with Nutella and fruit, and the soup of the day, while the coffees are called excellent. Service is described as friendly, fast and welcoming, and several call the room clean and pleasant, though one reviewer notes that open windows on warm days bring traffic noise. The main criticism comes from one reviewer who found the pancakes too dense, the bacon in the hash brown roll way too salty, the burger patty average and the pulled pork wrap flat. One visitor describes a server staying accommodating when the order was changed to pancakes.

    “I really like this place. It's especially lovely on warm days when they open the windows - even if it does increase traffic noise. I think they have a good, varied menu for food and drink, without over promising. Recently the service has been spot on. Keep it up, please!”

    “Really lovely place, close to the castle. Service was friendly and fast, and the environment is pleasant, with Elvis and such playing in the background. The food was delicious, everything we tried! Full Scottish and poached eggs with avocado and feta are really worth it. Definitely recommend and would come back. Thank you!”
