Any recommendations for the best Full scottish breakfast in Edinburgh?
Im often up reasonably early on match days and like to get something into the stomach before a few pre match beers. What do my learned friends recommend?
Nobles in Leith is pretty good, bit pricey but good stuff. Spoons obviously, cheap and cheerful (or sometimes not).

The Kings Wark at the shore used to do a good breakfast although I've heard mixed reviews, at best, about the food in general there lately.

The wee red cafe renu i think its called now, on easter road used to do a cracking fry up.
It is opposite side of road to tamsons and about 100 yards further down

With or without haggis?
Has to be with surely.
Lorne, tattie scone, black pudding and haggis or it's not a Scottish imo. Full menu should be:
Lorne
Tattie scone
Black pudding
Haggis
Mushrooms
Tomato
Fried eggs
2 buttered rolls
Porridge as a starter. White or fruit pudding as optional extras. Baked beans can gtf.
The Mash Tun is pretty decent.

Just about to launch a new brunch menu, including a cracking looking Eggs Benedict.

Snax Café round the corner from Gillford arms gets good reviews for their breakfasts. I've only had a filled roll from there and it was good!
I had a great breakfast last weekend in Partick through in Glasgow if you're feeling adventurous. :greengrin

Things I miss about Scotland (1) - all of the above :drool:
Full agreement on the baked beans as well. ******g cheap tomato gloop getting its manky self all over the prime bits. Get rid.

Mushrooms and tomatoes can GTF before baked beans!
Full English sounds better TBH.
Is a mixture called a full British?

I don't do it often, but there's nothing better than cooking a full breakfast on a Sunday. Everything just how you like it, especially the cup of tea.

Smoked fish at breakfast is genius.
I rarely have it as Mrs PB doesn't like snoked fish or the smell so it's a rare treat that I look forward to.

Yes a step too far, Frank Smith the king of the dock road fry up in Liverpool would never have it. :-)

Did you sample an ulster fry scouse? Fried pancake and soda bread are a good addition to the meal imo!

Literally just back,it was superb and I will be back next year dine the Titanic,Crumlin Road Jail,Bushmills Distillery,Giants Causeway too. The people of Belfast were very welcoming and the murals on the Shankhill,Falls road and surrounding areas were things I had always wanted to see and photograph. Crammed a lot in but had a great long weekend.

Glad to hear it mate. I looked up Brights and I think I'll head there for a fry next time I'm up in Belfast, it looks good.

Brights was okay, definitely case of quantity over quality that generates the good reviews in my opinion. Sausages were cheap,bacon not cooked enough to my liking even though I asked, done the job though and wouldn't put me off going again.

Sorry LH, the new termanology for "a Full Scottish breakfast" has been changed to "a Full North British breakfast".
On the menu is also 'Brits Porridge Oats' 'Britch eggs' and you can wash them down with a dram of good Britch malt.
:wink: :stirrer:
