    We were looking forward to having brunch there but we’ve been so disappointed : food is average, portions are small… definitely what we were hoping for.

    Food was amazing, I had the baked eggs. It was delicious and my friend loved the eggs benny. We shared some chips and they were the best chips I have had in ages and great with the garlic Aioli. Staff were friendly and attentive. It was so busy and they were very efficient and calm! Haven't been here in a while but it was as good as I remembered!

    We enjoyed our visit to Urban Angel at the weekend - our first foray dining out since our youngest was diagnosed with coeliac disease. We were confident measures had been taken to avoid cross contamination in the kitchen and ensure a safe experience for her. The food was delicious, albeit we could have done with less bacon with the french toast and eggs Benedict and one more slice of french toast. it was also quite pricey. That said, we would definitely book up again.

    Lovely food, decent atmosphere and accommodating. Eggs Benedict pretty expensive at £13.90 and server forgot to bring water when asked but would visit again. Friendly service and tasty food, just a bit pricey.

    The choices for a brunch or breakfast are just incredible. You could easily walk by and miss this place which would be a real mIstake. We sensibly booked ahead which meant that we had not trouble getting in but there was a queue. Juices and smoothies are superb as is the coffee. Highly reccomended.

    Food was tasty, we asked for well done bacon and it was burnt, but eggs and sourdough delicious . Restaurant is tired and in need of a refresh in my opinion. Service was good. Expensive - £32 for 2 breakfasts and 1 green tea .

    We had a wonderful lunch! There’s so many lovely and unusual options on the menu to suit whatever your in the mood for. The space is so peaceful and feels light and spacious, even when busy. Everything was delicious and the service was perfect - it was really busy and every member of staff was friendly, helpful and extremely efficient.

    Good food, imaginatively prepared, but both our first choices had run out (which we weren’t told about when we sat down), so both of us had our second choices from the menu.

    Love this place - some of the staff a bit awkward and spikey but I think mostly because of the fringe which is fair enough. One lovely Irish waiter makes up for it entirely. The food is genuinely outstanding, better brunch than any you’ll find in London. There’s nothing better for all round good quality well thought out food that I’ve had in Edinburgh still in the years I’ve been coming.

    Order was wrong, only 2 people ate and the other 2 ate 20minutes later. This was very disappointing as it was a special birthday brunch. The response from staff member was ‘ well we got there in the end’.

    We have had breakfast at Urban Angel in the past and it was nice and relaxed with great food and ambience. Everything was fine again this time except when we went to order a 2nd latte after our breakfast we were told we only had the table for an hour. This was disappointing as, if we'd know when we booked, we wouldn't have chosen this venue. We just felt a bit rushed through...I understand its Fringe time etc etc but we live here all year round and have never felt like that before. Otherwise everything was fine I would recommend but not during August ...

    Really lovely breakfast in such a quirky place. Food and drink’s lovely, and a great selection. Waiter top notch. Love the beautiful Cork accent and the good sense of humour ti go with it. Come to Edinburgh once a year on a day trip while on holiday and this is the first time I’d definitely say I’d go back somewhere. Thankyou.
