Full description

The Roseleaf in Leith is an informal café bistro dressed in old-fashioned, eccentric decor, with dogs welcome and a location close to the waterfront. The menu leans health-conscious, while the bar is known for serving cocktails in teapots.

Reviewers praise the Cullen skink, halloumi fries with honey, and mac and cheese, and the bartenders get regular mentions for friendliness. It has featured on a popular travel food show, which draws visitors from further afield.

Opening from 10:00 until late, it suits brunch, dinner, or a drink at the bar.

Reviews

Great location near waterfront. Beautiful old fashioned decor and dog friendly. Excellent food, especially Cullen skink and halloumi fries with honey. The only thing I could pick is the cheesecake portion is too big. I am struggling to finish. Will definitely come back again.
