Patisserie Florentin — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Visited this Saturday at about 3.30-4pm and it was definitely not busy period because the tables were half full and it was mid-afternoon. There are signs everywhere saying take a seat if you want 'table service'...................................That's normal and we then walked past several staff, some who weren't even serving anyone, no eye contact, etc. That's fine. We chose a table in the back corner (still with an old coffee cup and cake plates from the previous person who used the table) because it looked quieter and literally SAT THERE FOR 25-30mins. Spent the latter half of it trying to get anyone's attention for a menu and wave someone down but no eye contact was to be made by the staff as they walked to and fro from the staffroom area about 10x.

She agreed to remake it though was clearly annoyed.

This was disappointing, though fortunately the second coffee was very nice and certainly the best one I’ve had in Edinburgh so far, in my...

The best cafe in Stockbridge! Stopped in for lunch and cake recently and thoroughly enjoyed the food and fun atmosphere in Patisserie Florentin. There's a great selection of cakes and sweet treats.

There's a fun vibe to this cafe and staff were so accommodating and friendly. Family and dog friendly. I observed staff giving a dog a treat and some water. Definitely pop in here next time you're in Edinburgh. Thanks William, Nicola, Barnaby, Jo and Sunny for a...
