The results of testing #JacobDeerCooking vs @polentoni_

I both two focaccia’s one with beetroot, goat cheese and roasted pepper, the second with spinach, eggs, mushrooms and truffle oil. Also I get one pistachio bundt.

Focaccias cost each £3.50, pistachios Bundt £1.50.

All were quite ok.

I wouldn’t call that “focaccia” as the dough is quite dense, but little bit crispy outside. So, the dough is something between pizza dough (dense) and focaccia (more bobbly inside and crispy outside). I cannot taste truffle at all in the spinach focaccia, eggs are nicely done and good quality. Beetroot need some more spices as is quite bland, the goat cheese is a decent quality. Better quality olive oil would be a good idea too.

The pistachio Bundt, tasty, but you can’t really tasty pistachios itself as the Bundt is super sweet. However, you can see that they put inside a lot of grated pistachios.

Overall, fine food for that price and they need to improve only a little bit to amazing. If you have some time give them a chance and check how you like their food.

Felt this need to post this as I’m flabbergasted that this place has anything but 5 star reviews.

The food that is served here is GENUINELY the most flavourful and well thought out food I’ve had in Edinburgh. The only negative I have is that you can only get the pasta between a few hours in the mid-day, and I genuinely can’t complain as the pasta is hands down the best I’ve ever had in my life (I’m not over exaggerating, I’d pay quadruple what it’s priced at based on how good it tastes).

To those complaining that it’s no longer a sit in bakery / restaurant, there are so many other places to go. I believe a local guide gave the place 1 star based SOLELY on this, and clearly never tried the food as it’s hands down better than 90% of what’s around. Incredible ingredients, extremely fair prices.

PLEASE go to try the food here, there should be something for everyone and if you can get there around 11/12am, you HAVE to get the pasta (doesn’t matter which pasta, they all taste other worldly).

My boss and I go here whenever we can and it’s continuously the...

A niche café. This Italian café is located near Calton Hill, 10-15 minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley station. I was very intrigued by this café as it was highly rated (4.8 stars) on google reviews and it was near where I was staying. The first thing to note is that the café does not allow customers who only want to drink because there is not much seating available. My table was a bit sticky when I arrived. The dishes are unique in that they are not typical Italian dishes, these dishes have a unique twist and is run by native Italians. The wild boar ragu gnocchi was not available on the day I went. Instead, I ordered the Arancini which was one of the special’s of the day and it costed £10. The Arancini was tasty. I also ordered the mocha (£2.50) which was a bit too sweet, I could even see the brown sugar granules at the bottom of the drink as I was finishing the drink. For me the prices are more towards the pricey side.

Overall, a unique café with interesting food but the mocha was a bit of letdown and the prices are more on the...

I am giving 5 stars because I cannot give 10! This place sure it's tiny and you may have to queue for a bit, but God their food is heavenly! I have been today for a late lunch with my partner and we both had the gnocchi with fennel sausage sauce. I was almost moved to tears because the flavors of the sauce remembered the one my old grandma used to prepare for the family on Sunday lunches. Please help me spread the word about this place because such wonderful businesses deserve to have a huge success!
