    Lovely lunch and brunch menu, with a good range of dishes including vegan options. Staff were attentive without being intrusive, and we were able to linger chatting to friends without feeling pressure to vacate the table. Great place for a relaxed lunch!

    Sorry, have been here before and enjoyed, but meal was cold and whilst they replaced with another meal the evening became rather disjointed and its not cheap!

    We had a lovely family breakfast at the Olive Branch. Everything was cooked very well and the service friendly. We would definitely go again when in Edinburgh!
