    Great food, I’ve been to South Queensferry a few times and it’s just as good but was a bit disappointed there was no brunch skillet type options

    Really enjoyed our meal. Much preferred Antigua Street to South Queensferry one which seemed claustrophobic and noisy. Staff were great in both but Antigua has the edge. Will definitely return and can highly recommend.
