Glad we came here for breakfast. The quality of the produce is outstanding. The chef (pretty sure his name is Mike) made us comfortable and offered to explain what each item of food we had on our plate was and where it’s produced. The waitress was warm and welcoming and food was in front of us within 10 minutes. Also the sliced sausages and haggis was to die for. The perfect place for a quality Scottish breakfast in the old town.

A very lovely little cafe with incredible food that I noticed because of the gorgeous shopfront and window. Shared the full Scottish breakfast with a friend and the portion was big enough that we had plenty to go round and made a very satisfying meal. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is so nice. Would definitely come back again and order lots more food! Favourites were the haggis, both kinds of sausage, black pudding and tattie scone (which is pretty much all the main items), all fried to perfection and served nice and hot. My friend liked the haggis so much it made her want to try and get haggis for breakfast every day that we were in Edinburgh. I ordered a second potato scone.

Popped in after hearing good things about this place. It was our last day in Edinburgh. I went for the Full Scottish breakfast and it was beautiful. Well presented and the service was above and beyond. They explained what was on plate and asked if we needed directions anywhere. Food was great and very tasty and great quality stuff. Not greasy at all. Will be.back next time in Edinburgh.

We stumbled upon this place while exploring. We were there quite literally the minute they opened and were immediately greeted with great service. The man serving us offered us directions and tips while he cooked our meals which was so appreciated. The food was tasty and quite affordable especially considering the location. Absolutely recommend!

My first time having a full Scottish breakfast, and I’m so glad it was at Quinn’s. I was there alone and felt a bit nervous at first, but the service was amazing. The owner genuinely makes sure everyone feels okay and welcome—not just in the restaurant, but even offering help with directions and more. I’m really glad I went, and I’ll definitely be spreading the word. Thank you for treating everyone with such kindness and respect.
