We were just passing by, and saw this French cafe. As it was mid-afternoon, we thought it would be nice to try it. It was a very good decision! The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout. We ordered coffees, homemade cheese scones of the day, and homemade lemon tart. This was all so good, that we couldnât resist an almond tart to finish off! The pastry and fillings were of the highest standard. They also serve main mealsâincluding crepes and galettes, and all the usual refreshments including beer and cider. We very much look forward to returning. Iâd highly recommend.

We loved this Italian Restaurant and its warm friendly "momma's kitchen" type approach. The food was perfectly cooked and delicious.From the start we were made to feel welcome, big smiles and warmth exuded from our host. Having been seated drinks orders were taken and the specials list offered - we suspect the menu was prepared ages ago and the restaurant have evolved a specials list that is almost a menu in itself now. Either way there was great choice - we were worried the menu was too long to do everything well but our fears were groundless, choosing from both the specials menu and the main menu each dish was gorgeous.Definitely worth a visit, and for us we will definitely be back.

We selected Bia from our internet researches and only realized when we arrived that we had been there many years ago when staying at a B&B 50 metres down the road. It was a good meal again, although different this time. We had Coley and Sea Trout fillets for mains and Rhubarb Meringue for dessert, both of which were very good. Our wine was a Carafe of Pecorino, not well known in Australia and we enjoyed that as well.

Decided to try as the Yu our usual take away is closed on a Tuesday. Ordered salt and chilli chicken wings, chicken in capital sauce and beef and tomato. Everything was completely tasteless and watery, carrots like rubber bands as was the beef! Two mouthfuls each and the whole lot went in the bin. Never again. Avoid!!! Will be shut before long.

My wife and daughter had visited for breakfast before but this was my first visit. 5 adults and our 7 month old grand daughter visited for lunch on Saturday.Really friendly and attentive staff and nothing was too much trouble. We had 5 different meals, which took a while to arrive, which is not a problem as every dish is cooked to order and not pre prepared. Every dish was perfectly cooked and clean plates went back. Where possible all produce is locally sourced.This appears quite a new venture and I wish the owners all success. If they keep up the standards of food and fantastic customer service, this place will soon be hard to get into.That's very kind of you, and we will do our very best to try and improve on our standards you kindly mentioned.Hope to see you again soon.

We were just passing through Bonnyrigg and stopped off for drinks. Coffee was really nice, one of the best Iâve had in in a while. Really relaxed and friendly atmosphere with great service.Whilst we sat we saw some of the food being delivered to other tables and it looked lovely. The burgers looked amazing, just wish weâd had more time to try them. We will be back to eat as soon as possible.

My wife and I came here for breakfast. Both of us ordered the traditional Scottish breakfast and we liked it. We enjoyed a nice and relaxing environment. The staff there are very friendly. The food is good. Overall, we have a great time. The added benefit is that there is a walking trail behind the restaurant. We spent some time walking the beautiful countryside and took a lot of pictures, especially with the highland cow!!Hi ALB215Thanks for leaving a great review of Swanston brasserie.It was good to read you had a positive experience and enjoyed the walk up the hills after.

Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday to break a car journey. A short diversion from the A720 Edinburgh bypass. Parked on a small road behind the restaurant. Friendly, efficient service and really wonderful food. The ricotta cakes and scallop/prawn ravioli were exquisite. The pizza was really good and the bruschetta very tasty. Vegetable sides very nice - perfectly cooked. Lemon tart with pine nuts blissful and the white Chocolate profiteroles a lovely sweet treat. Presentation very good. Restaurant is small and was busy but run very smoothly. Bathroom clean and swanky. Would not hesitate to go back. Might have to plan another long journey just so we do go back!

We had a lovely meal at Ciboâs with the family. The restaurant is spacious and welcoming so you donât feel like youâre being too noisy with a young family. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious. Would recommend the lasagna and pizza that we had. The kids meals were perfect and everyone elseâs meals looked delicious as well. We will definitely go back.
