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.
Folk may mock but Frankie & Benny's do a fantastic breakfast, cheap, plentiful & hearty :thumbsup:
The wee red cafe renu i think its called now, on easter road used to do a cracking fry up.Quote:

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.Quote:

I had a great breakfast last weekend in Partick through in Glasgow if you're feeling adventurous. :greengrin

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.
Excellent!! Although I also like smoked haddock with poached eggs and also kedgereeQuote:

Fish or haggis at breakfast just isn't right

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

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.Quote:
