Dalila's Bistro in Edinburgh

The location was perfect, but imho, price was above average, and overpriced for the taste of “rose” pancake that we ordered. Food and coffees came after more than 30’ of waiting, and we guessed because the waitress forgot to input our orders (they gave vague answer when we followed up our order, saying orders were in queue).

You cannot leave Edinburgh without trying the birthday cake they have. It’s just the best! Trust me… I’m a cake lover and this was the best I’ve tried in a while, it was perfect!! Plus it was a big portion for a cake, you can easily share (but it is so delicious that you might not want to).The service was really nice as well, they were very attentive and smiley. We didn’t have a booking but it was not that crowded so we could find a table. Later on that same day we passed by and it was full… so consider booking online.You can have a beautiful view if you eat outdoors.It is a little bit pricey but totally worth it. We had a chai, hot chocolate, and the birthday cake; £16,50 I think.I’m actually sad we don’t have this café where I live.

Website clearly says they keep tables available for walk-in customers but then claimed to be fully booked for the whole day.They do not offer cooked food outdoors, nor takeaway and the girl on the door was not very helpful in suggesting alternatives either.Shame about the customer experience really, as it seems like quite a cool cafe.Edit: fast forward a few months and I decided to try my luck again. Can honestly give this place a 10/10 - from the service to the food. It lived up to expectations 🙌🏼. My previously 1 star is now a 5.

One of the best cafés in Edinburgh for breakfast and brunch. Go for any dish you like, it’s equally tasty. Maria was very kind enough to accommodate us even without our table reserved.

Visited here in December and the older gentleman that served us was really nice. Liked the waffles but didn’t enjoy the cake very much. Interior is beautiful and looks great for the photos 😉

Super dreamy Instagram cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Attentive staff and a healthy menu. Fantastic choices of non-caffeine alternate drinks. Came on a weekday afternoon and was fortunate that I didn't need a reservation.

A cute little cafe in the heart of Edinburgh Old Town. This cafe serves breakfast/ lunch / brunch. Everything is pink and perfect for kids and adults alike. The dishes were well presented and our server Mo was exceptional. All the food came out quick. Personally I did the think the pancakes were a little dry and needed more sauce or something else, they are served with candyfloss on top which the kids loved. The unicorn and ruby latte were subtle in taste, but if you add coffee it may be better. Overall a really Instagramable cafe.

Great decor but average food. However, they offer some very interesting options that you likely won't find elsewhere like the "satay French toast". Seating and service can be very slow given that they get busy. Would definitely try to revisit and update the score after I try other food options as they are one of few halal food places that are offering something different.

The pancakes and the waffle was really nice, capuccino was small for the price though. If you like to take photos to your food you will enjoy it. Keep in mind that it's a bit pricey so you don't receive the surprise when you ask for the bill, worth it though 👌

They do have a great aesthetic and atmosphere. The menu also has good options for anyone wanting to try something new but overall it’s just a very hyped place. The food was very much average. I think it’s just an Instagramable place.I had the waffle with chicken and the chicken was very dry and the waffles were alright. The taro latte was mostly milk without much taste.
