Le Marche Francais — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Great place for grabbing a quick breakfast, the chocolate croissants are superb, the hot chocolate is OK except the lid didn't fit the cup properly so I got soaked on the way to work (minus 1 star for cheap cups).

I've sat in and had lunch a couple of times and the staff are very friendly but the sandwich you get depends on what's left on display, they don't seem to make fresh sandwiches on demand.

I had a crocque with salmon and it didn’t taste nice as well. Plus, he was the only person running the place on a Saturday morning and he was going back and forth from the kitchen to the tables with his long hair not tied up. I really do not...

Went to Edinburgh with my partner, I insisted he try a Scotch pie, he's English and never had one, went in and waited, chap served someone, kept saying 2 minutes, 2 minutes, 2 minutes. We were in the take away place on the right. I was outside waiting for him when a youngish lad came out of the sit in restaurant side with a broom chasing a large rat. I imediately said to my partner we are not eating here, there was a workman behind us who had already finished eating one of the things he bought, he started swearing, clearly unhappy about the fact he had just finished something from here.
