Super friendly service, very delicious sandwiches, most dishes available gf. Gluten free. Also a quiter place, a bit out of the touristic zones. We have been here every day we spend in edinburgh! ... okay, 2 days, so only twice, but still !

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

We came here for the final breakfast of a mini break. We were sent over from scran who recommended Hula for allergens. The breakfasts were overpriced and painfully mediocre. I massively resented paying £40 for 2 blah coffees, and 2 plates of avocado toast, one of which was on the crapest gluten free bread available. Sorry Hula, maybe we ordered wrong but really not worth it.

Unfortunately I just ate there and got glutened by their food. The poutine even though they said it was Celiac safe unfortunately was not.

Tasty lunch with high quality ingredients! The staff was very kind and available for clarifications. I confirm that they have a menu with gluten free options and are very careful about contamination. Central location, reservations recommended because it is a highly sought-after restaurant! You can choose meat or fish courses and interesting typical Scottish dishes

Delicious meal and lots of gluten free options as well. The waiter was very knowledgeable about which items on the menu were gluten free and free from cross contamination (shared fryer). Overall we had a delicious meal in a nice atmosphere. Very highly recommend

Really disappointing experience. Made a booking for a large group for dinner and drinks. Limited space available despite communicating the group size. Very poor service. Lots of miscommunication from the servers, some saying we can order food from the restaurant and bar and some only saying bar. GF guest told they were out of all snacks and that they don’t do gluten free options only to be then told if you come back in 5-10 we may be able to help you. Long waits for drinks and probably the worst expresso martini. Do not recommend.
