A lively Old Town breakfast-and-brunch spot with broad menu appeal, strong garden seating, and lots of repeat-love for haggis, pancakes, and coffee — but service and consistency can be hit or miss, especially at busy times.
Mary's Cafe Bistro delivers solid food quality with signature breakfast plates and haggis burgers that earn consistent praise, but inconsistent execution across busy periods prevents a stronger grade. The charming rear garden and welcoming service create an appealing casual experience, though variable attentiveness and uneven menu expertise keep it from approaching grade A territory.
One caveat: Service timing is inconsistent, with some diners reporting long waits during busy periods.
