The Colony Gourmet — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Make a visit and taste one of the specialties of the house, handmade at the moment; The "esfirras" and the quiches, are really good, but the "brigadeiros" are not behind.

Not to mention the pastel de nata, OMG!!! They are melting in your mounth. I will be there soon to try the other cakes( ive tried the halzenut caramel one, another good quality cake) and very promising homemade brazilian cheese bread, together with the everyday different soup. Nice!!! Must seen, Colony...
