Ostara in Edinburgh

Excellent small bistro tucked away in Leith. We went for brunch and there were so many exciting options I feel like I could have ordered 4 different meals. We took our 21 month old toddler and they were extremely accommodating, and his cheese omelette was as good as anything we ate.I had a Chorizo hash and virgin Mary and honestly, that probably could have sorted me for the day! We will be back.

Relaxing place to have breakfast,food good and excellent service,pet friendly

Very tasty food, made from fresh ingredients. We thoroughly enjoyed everything and will definitely be back!

What a wonderful experience!Tucked away down by the water in Leith, Ostara is an absolute delight.I went here for an evening meal and was delighted by the entire experience.The food itself was superb. I have to say, it's the first time I've truly appreciated texture in a dish as everything was so well balanced. The menu is small, but I really do believe that Ostara is a perfect example of a place that has a small menu where everything is done to perfection. Everything on it is crafted with such care and attention that you can be sure whatever you choose, it's going to be wonderful.On top of the food, the front of house staff were wonderful. Not once did we feel rushed or harassed, nor did we feel neglected or ignored. The staff were friendly and attentive and made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable.I am so pleased to have found this restaurant and will be returning to try their breakfast and lunch menus when I can!

One of the best brunches I’ve had! The gluten free bread is homemade and so delicious and they were very knowledgeable about allergies. Such a nice place, friendly service and great value - ticks all the boxes!

So glad we found this place. We loved it; wonderful atmosphere, great music, nicely spaced out tables so we could relax without feeling too close to other diners. All of the food is clearly prepared with care and attention. Will definitely return next time we are in Leith. Thank you to the wonderful person who served us and the chefs for their work in the kitchen.

Delicious food, lovely coffee and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. Felt guilty about not leaving a tip but we didn’t have any cash on us. Will remember for next time as they 100% deserve it.

Really excellent eatery with helpful and friendly staff. Quality food and cooking. Amazing vegetarian and vegan options!

We had a nice experience at Ostara and would happily go back.The scones, the breakfast hash and the breakfast pancakes were all exquisite in their execution. The pancakes were topped with (among other things) large crystals of honey, which added both depth to the texture of the dish and added aesthetic beauty.Coffees and teas were both very enjoyable. Service was prompt, helpful, and patient. The music was pleasant, gentle American country music. The atmosphere was open and clean.

Yum to Australian style breakfast places abroad! This was a delicious combination of careful quality in each dish and world inspirations. I had a Middle Eastern inspired plate with yogurt, eggs, pita, and lamb. I split decadent raspberry pancakes with my wife. Our family had scrambled eggs and bacon on toast. What a brunch! You can sneak parking down one block by the apartments.
