Quiet little cafe under St Giles' Cathedral. It's a great place to go if you want to get away from the more crowded cafes on the Royal Mile. Good food and great service, have gone back for the stuffed potatoes. Unfortunately this cafe is now closed for business.

Visited as part of a group of 6 for lunch during the Festival. Food was fine but shocked and very surprised to be told there were no toilet facilities open for customers as the Cathedral had made a decision to close them for the duration of the Festival. Very poor show indeed and I won’t go back there - good food or not. What kind of cafe offers no toilet facilities for their customers for goodness sake!!!
