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 draws the most repeated praise, with reviewers citing tasty bacon and sausage, meat pudding, and mushroom alongside it. Close behind, the Bistro Waffle earns mentions for its smashed avocado and hash brown, and the eggs Florentine and poached eggs with avocado and feta also get called out, along with a soup of the day one diner found delicious. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are repeatedly described as excellent. Service is consistently called friendly, warm, and fast, with several noting the atmosphere as clean and pleasant. One reviewer, however, found the beans average, the pancakes too dense, the bacon in a hash brown roll too salty, and the pulled pork wrap flat, questioning the high ratings. Reviewers repeatedly recommend it for breakfast or brunch, with several saying they'd return if back in Edinburgh.

“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!”
