Went there for an official party. I absolutely loved the place. It’s a beautiful location for a party . It’s got sort of a big deck with a lot of seating along with a big area which is indoors. The food was okay, I did like the burger that we had and chicken skewers were pretty good too. Lots of drink options. The place definitely stood out for me as to how pretty it was. Don’t miss a chance to visit it if you just want to chill out and have a good time :) The staff were also extremely patient and lovely guiding us with whatever questions we had. It was a lovely evening. Loads of parking available and it’s really close to Inverleith park.

3.9🌟 If you are a family with children you're better off bringing your own picnic and have it on the many places an lawns on the grounds as all the Cafés are NOT the cheapest. The food was fresh, there was a soup& sandwich deal that was actually the most decent thing, different soups of the day, staff is friendly and helpful.

Superb food made from own Kitchen Garden in Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh. They use organic fresh produce which grows in their garden. There is fantastic atmosphere and food is delicious. Staff is nice too. I recommend to come there with friends, family or solo.

Great place to eat and drink something! Sweet portions of scons, and more! All surrounded by the botanic garden makes this place a nice place to be. Feeling relax with the nature! Located in the heart of the botanic garden you will find this place, nice terrace but inside is so cool as well. Downstairs there is a nice shop and part of the museum with expos!

it is buffet style restaurant, where you choose the salads the staffs scoop them on your dish and you pay for the number of varieties you choose. wheat and halloumi salad was good, frittata and polenta also tasted nice. beware of the seagulls! they are flying around the place waiting for food
