  1. Had such a lovely experience out for lunch with friends! Three out of four of us decided on various pancake options – mine was the fresca and it was so delicious! I had to try a bit of my partner’s Mushroom pancake too, which was equally delicious and unique. I also got to try the pistachio latte, something i wouldn’t usually go for, and it was so, so yummy – would 100% recommend trying. The service was honestly so kind and welcoming, they all seemed to be enjoying their day – and the positive energy definitely passed on to us.
    Thanks so much, will be back sometime soon 😁

  2. Here’s a more polished, light-hearted version of your review:

    My wife, baby daughter, and I popped in for brunch last week after the pictures of their pancakes caught my attention (I mean, who can resist pancakes?). The café is a bit tucked away downstairs, which meant we had to navigate some steps with our buggy, but we managed and were lucky to snag a table without a reservation.

    First impression? There was a little leak dripping into a container – charmingly quirky, though it did make me wonder if we’d time-traveled to 2003 when the place first opened. It definitely has a “no rush to modernize” vibe, but honestly, I kind of liked the vintage charm. The open kitchen behind the counter lets you peek in on the chefs at work, which is always fun. We squeezed in with the buggy—note for fellow parents, it’s not the most buggy/wheelchair-friendly, but we made it work, and the staff were really accommodating.

    Speaking of the staff, our server was an absolute star—seriously, five-star service. She was bright, cheerful, full of jokes, and really knew the menu. She gave us the kind of detailed recommendations you don’t often get, and I respect that. Her energy definitely added to the experience.

    The menu itself is awesome—small enough to not be overwhelming, but with plenty of variety. Classics alongside some unique twists. We started with drinks, choosing between three kinds of hot chocolate. We went with a Belgian and an Italian one, though I can’t remember which was which. One of them came as a fun DIY kit with hot milk, chocolate buttons, and a hand mixer, which was a nice touch. Both tasted great!

    Then we spotted another table with cannoli, which weren’t on the menu, so naturally, we had to order some. Unconventional starter? Yes. Delicious? Also yes, especially with the cream they served alongside them.

    For mains, my wife ordered the Scotsman breakfast. She asked for no mushrooms and tomatoes, but when the plate arrived, it had both. Oops! A few minutes later, the chef came rushing out, realizing he’d sent the dish to the wrong table. Luckily, my wife hadn’t started eating, and the rightful owner of the breakfast was happy to take it. When hers finally arrived as ordered, she was pleased—it was one of the better breakfasts she’s had in Edinburgh. Whether it was worth the £14.50 is up for debate, but she did enjoy every bite.

    I got a bit greedy and ordered two dishes: the strawberry and pistachio pancakes and the truffled mushroom. The pancakes? Phenomenal. Thick, with a rich pistachio flavor, balanced by the sweetness of the strawberries. So good, in fact, I probably didn’t need to order anything else… but of course, I did. The truffled mushroom was supposed to be a “small plate,” but it arrived looking like a full meal. While I initially enjoyed it, the mushroom flavor became a bit overwhelming by the end. I did my best but had to tap out before finishing.

    Despite our main server being an absolute gem (seriously, best waitress we’ve had in a while), we did notice some of the other staff weren’t as professional. Chefs were walking through the dining area and bickering a couple of times, which wasn’t ideal. I get that kitchens are stressful, but maybe save the arguments for the back!

    In summary, we had some top-tier moments and a few hiccups, but overall, we enjoyed our visit. The pancakes may have been the most expensive I’ve ever had, but I savored every bite. And to the amazing waitress (sorry, didn’t catch your name)—you deserve a pay raise!

  3. Our waitress was lovely, super friendly and even brought us a wee bowl with pistachio cream and strawberries for us to try before ordering. My friend ordered pancakes with pistachio and I ordered shakshuka. Both were super tasty and in a perfect portion. I must add that their coffee is amazing too! Very flavoured and I’m quite peaky with my black coffee.

  4. Absolutely fantastic breakfast/brunch spot! Impeccable service, amazing food, great vibes; nothing else to ask for! We had to return the second day just to try more things on the menu (as we were drooling over other table’s orders during our first visit) and we were even offered to provide feedback on a new item coming to the menu for free! If you are reading reviews because unsure, please do yourself a favour and give Tani Modi a try!

  5. We had breakfast at this delightful little restaurant. We ordered the berry pancakes, a vegetarian breakfast and a bacon baps. My personal favourite was the vegetarian breakfast.

    The decor is cosy and cheery and the toilets are spotlessly clean.

    All three were beautifully plated, delicious and sizeable portions. In my opinion, Chef Abby was the highlight — you know your chef is putting his heart into his creations when he is singing, even doing a cheery jig whilst making them!

    Definitely worth a try.👍🏼
