Toast

Toast is a Marchmont institution, although Edinburgh residents in the know come from all over the city to enjoy the legendary weekend brunch menu within its friendly, local art-lined walls.

With a wealth good-quality, fresh seasonal ingredients on offer, it’s hard to know what to order. But prices are thoroughly reasonable, so if you find yourself unable to choose between, say, the French toast with goats cheese and the Eggs Benedict, you can do what you really want to – have both!

Unfortunately, the more expensive evening meals often leave you wishing you really had ordered twice: while the food is excellent, portions can be on the small side. Nevertheless, Toast is a great option when you simply want a really good, well-prepared meal.
