Reviews of Butternut Squash

V. W.

Lovely, family friendly cafe. Incredible portion sizes (we definitely ordered too much food, but this is our fault, not theirs🤣). We got the fajitas and a haggis, caramelised onion and cheddar ciabatta. Both were fantastic, onion rings and halloumi fries were also delicious. Great value, welcoming staff, will be coming back!

G. D.

The chocolate scone was superb. So tasty but so light, could have eaten two. 😋

J. B.

Better than your average cafe/bistro in the area. Great menu, good prices, quirky interiors.

S. B.

Family run local eaterie. Relaxed environment, good wholesome food, friendly staff, good value for money. Dog friendly too - what's not to love.

D. A.

A very friendly cafe with good food and a nice atmosphere. One of several excellent such facilities in Portobello, Edinburgh.

s. m.

Always very good, just had coffee and scones, had Christmas night out previous, excellent.

M. M.

Lovely cafe just off the high Street. Solid middle of the road price point for tasty well presented spread. Portions are a good size and your kids will not be left wanting either with a nice range of the expected child friendly favorites. I've been with my blind partner and my disabled Dad. We were accommodated both times with grace and efficiency. Enough space to maneuver a standard mobility scooter or wheelchair. Never felt we were considered a problem. Highly recommended. Worth walking the extra distance from the beach for lunch.

T. L.

Love meeting here for breakfast / brunch, service always with a smile 👍

K. B.

A gem of a place for those with kids! The staff were so kind to my child and went the extra mile with his meal. I also noticed the other table that came in with their kids were kindly given a high chair for their daughter's doll. Clearly family orientated and welcome to all ages as there was a wide spectrum of people at the other tables. Food was simple and tasty with large portions for the prices. Cakes were particularly delicious. Highly recommend if you're visiting Portobello!

C. M.

Super place to have lunch. Very nice food.

D. K.

Good food very yummy and very friendly pipo.

J. H.

Honestly, aside from the latte this was kinda poor. I'd heard so many nice things too. First thing I noted was the pretty disgusting old looking aircon unit in the ceiling. Staff are nice and friendly. Could do with coffee training though. You're lost for anything beyond a cappuccino. As for the food. Their French toast is very bland and greasy. The full Scottish has beens splattered over everything with no possibility of isolating them. My main take away is that their chef is not trustworthy. Any chef who cuts a link sausage in half to cook it isn't confident in their ability to cook a sausage. You end up with 2 skinny overdone chipolatas instead of a nice sausage. Can't say I can see myself going back.

J. L.

Amazing breakfast with a lot of choice. Only minus is that inside is not so warm, but anyway lovely place.

M. D.

Absolutely fantastic service from all staff who are very welcoming and friendly. They adhere to all types of dietary requirements and if you don't know what to have they are happy to suggest something off the menu. I highly recommend the wraps or breakfasts 👌 Also loved seeing the staff out cleaning, using disinfectant, with the current situation going on. Can't wait to come back!!

Very nice food the lasagna was really nice

S. A.

Lovely food but poor service. Served a couple of tables who were sat after us. Conversations wi customers paying may be 'friendly' but it's not a good idea over a counter covered with food and crockery! Conversing with friends at the door whilst customers inside are waiting to have their orders taken!! The food was good. Poor customer service is easy to fix. Hopefully they do.

Good staff. Good food and coffee.

Can't get enough of this place. Been for breakfast; lunch and now dinner. (Not all on same day) and the experience just gets better and better. Food was fantastic. I ordered the prawn Marie rose as a starter and they're not shy with the prawns. Loaded with them who h was great. I then had the chicken supreme in mushroom sauce. Oh my God, melt in the mouth chicken. I am full as the portions are quite big but no complaints when the food is as tasty as that. Staff were top notch as usual. Friendly happy people working in a great little homely restaurants. Top marks again guys. Thank you for the lovely dinner.

Nearly full on a Thursday lunchtime. Options were varied, the portions were decent, and very reasonably priced. Service was top notch. Food arrived quickly. The deep fried haggis was particularly tasty, with excellent batter. Family friendly. Card payments not accepted, but there's a cash point a few mins away.

Place was busy, but it's fairly small so I wouldn't have expected them to seem so overwhelmed. We were sat at a dirty table which was cleared but not wiped. The staff were very nice, although the gent that kept popping over was maybe a bit much to deal with. We were halfway through our food before we got drinks, some of which never came at all. The food was fine, coffee was a bit on the weak side. A little tightening in some areas could drastically improve this little place

(Translated) A local restaurant I stopped by after coming to Portobello Beach with my dog❤️👍 Inside, the grandmothers were chatting over brunch, and the seats outside were quiet, so we ate haggis in the sunlight and had a cold beer with the groom! Crispy on the outside and slightly spicy on the inside, I ate two plates of delicious fried haggis on the spot. The lentil bacon soup and bread were delicious and healthy!! The chef is also very kind, and next time we come, we will try a delicious cheesecake dessert. I went to this place on my way to the Portobello beach with my two lovely dogs. My hubby and I loved the food, especially the Haggis fritters for lunch! 👍 Highly recommend! The Haggis was the best I ever tasted (the food was much better than London) so I came inside to thank the chef and she was so friendly as well as other staffs. Everyone made me feel like I'm at my sister's place. I will miss this place when I go back to London ❤️ (Original) 포토벨로 해변에 강아지랑 왔다가 들리게된 로컬 맛집❤️👍안에는 할머니들이 브런치 드시며 수다떨고 계시고, 밖에 자리가 한적해서 햇빛 쐬면서 분위기있게 하기스를 먹으며 신랑이랑 시원하게 맥주한잔 했어요! 겉엔 바삭하고 안엔 촉촉 살짝 매콤해서 맛있는 하기스 튀김을 그자리에서 두 접시나 시켜먹었답니다~ 렌틸콩베이컨 스프랑 빵도 맛있고 건강한 느낌이 들었어요!! 쉐프님도 넘친절하시구, 다음번에 오면 맛난 치즈케잌 디저트를 시켜보려고합니다.

Came here with my fiance because our usual Porty brunch place was packed. What a lovely surprise! The main man had a full breakfast, and I had a french toast with bacon and maple syrup. OMG! It was amazing! The staff is friendly and the service is good. The decor is very basic, but neat and clean. They seemed to have a good selection of cakes, too. But couldn't possibly fit anything else in my stomach after that French toast. I wouldn't go if you are a big group, though, as the place is not so big.

Friendly staff, decent food.

K. D.

20 of us had a meal here last night for my mother in laws 70th birthday and every single one of us thought the food was delicious & cooked to perfection!! For a small place they dealt with such a large group with ease and the food service was very slick. Could not have picked a better place to celebrate and would definitely recommend to anyone.

C. A.

Lovely cafe and breakfast was good

W. M.

A friend and I had coffee and scones here. The coffee was lovely (Americano) as were the scones. The jam was good quality and v tasty. We bought tablet to go and this was also lovely. I'll be back. There are lots of cafes in this area but not all are as good as this. Wider menu food looked excellent.

R. S.

This is a wonderful place: the food is always delicious and the service is friendly & prompt. It is a very popular place (unsurprisingly!) & the staff are great - even when it's so busy that they must be really stressed! Faultless in every way. Oh, and the value-for-money is unbeatable. Great for vegetarians, too.

B. M.

I love this place because the staff are really friendly and helpful. They give a refill with coffee. I had the vegetarian breakfast. My friend had a smoothie. I think they give good value. I like to go there when in Portobello. Like many places there they do not object to dogs. There are a few seats outside too.

B. E.

I went for the 11 Item breakfast for 6.95. it was ok. Personally I would have preferred less items (Potato Scone, Potato Cake, Fried Bread) and received better quality ingredients instead. The sausage seemed to be a low cost variety, the Haggis and black pudding weren't as good as some Scottish options and it all seemed like it had been cooked under a hot grill with some items precooked for speedy service. It was a nice atmosphere, very popular with locals 2 generations older than myself, and the service was pleasant and efficient.

D. U.

Brilliant Staff and Excellent Breakfast!

M. S.

Super cute and good food

K. C.

Really friendly staff, great food, nicely situated just of the prominade, this is my favourite place to go for a wee snack or dinner, will be back very soon.

S. B.

Busy, especially as it's a little out of the way. Slightly uninspiring choices of food but the chicken supreme with roasted vegetables that I had was good, substantial, well flavoured and a very reasonable price. They have veggie & gluten-free dishes and options. Very good service

D. G.

Great little cafe, good full Scottish breakfast, attentive service.

J. M.

Note this is a cafe/bistro and not a restaurant. The staff and food are excellent with great Scottish prices. Keith, the owner, leads with the banter, the more regular a customer the more risque the banter but always with good humour. We have been going here since it was on Portobello High Street and now that so many people have found it it can be difficult to get a seat. Go early and enjoy their breakfasts, continental or Scottish. Prices very good, ambiance great. My favourite breakfast place in Edinburgh

V. D.

Friendly staff, lovely coffee and scones! Good service ,my friend and I have made this our stop every week now on our walk

E. L.

Superb atmosphere as the staff are so lovely and friendly. Lovely lunch and coffee and cheesecake. Highly recommend

D. P.

It was OK. Coffee (black americano style) was on a lower end of quality, but the food was good. Staff seemed friendly and casual.

A. W.

Love this little cafe/bistro. The food is good and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Great value 'all day breakfast!' and the french toast is yummy too! If I'm in the Portobello area, I always pop in. There's a seating area outside too, if the weather's ok, however, they have a canopy if it rains.

G. R.

This café is in Bath Street just off the Portobello promenade. Being slightly off the seafront means it tends to be less busy than those nearer the beach. That is why we sought it out and there had been a recent good review in the Edinburgh Evening News. Please note that this place does NOT take card payments. You need to take cash and this condition is prominently displayed but when we were there a customer offered to pay by card which was politely declined. The customer was directed to an ATM at the top of the road. The food is tasty and very good value. We will be returning soon as it offers quality food at reasonable prices compared to some of the cafés on the front.

k. B.

Really nice place, good food with friendly staff, the only let down is that the physical menu isn't the nicest looking or the clearest, there's loads of options but not written on the menu so you have to ask, but don't let that turn you off as the food there is tasty and comes as nice size portions at reasonable prices.

J. B.

Had small portion of fish and chips with salad bread and butter with tea or coffee good price at £6.95. Quick service. Very busy with customers good sign. Staff friendly.

L. G.

Great wee place, food is amazing and the staff are brilliant. So friendly and down to earth. Catered for myself and 28 family members for a surprise meal without any issues at all! Highly recommend.

S. S.

Cute little bistro with very decent prices. Service was good but the wait alone for the food (over 40min) makes me give it 4/5 stars. Highchairs and baby changing facilities available.

V. I.

Very convenient deal. For £6.95 each we had a delicious soup and a massive omelette with cheese, bacon and chips on the side. The service was lovely despite the place was busy! We'll come back for sure! :D

I. W.

Pleasant cafe doing breakfasts, sandwiches and light lunches. Simple and short menu, unpretentious food, decent portion sizes. Good for a quick bite.

M. C.

Great food, fantastic staff. A very friendly and welcoming place.

M. H.

Brilliant place to eat and they do BYOB (you can still buy stuff there). The food is always great quality and the staff/owners are always giving it their best. Recommend 100%

J. D.

Great place for brunch or dinner. Gets very busy at weekend so definitely book a table. Closed on a Monday and Tuesday. Friendly staff and resident dog called Barney who is lovely. One of my favourite places in portobello.

D. T.

Honest little cafe with good food and friendly service. The portions were more suited to seniors and the decor is a little odd fashioned too, but there was nothing wrong with the quality or the service.

D. S.

Do not be put off by the look of this cafe/restaurant. The food and the staff are excellent with the owner being a wind up merchant and good fun. The cafe is dog friendly and Barney the cafe dog a character.

D. T.

Just had a quick lunch at Butternut Squash, excellent customer service from young waitress. She put my order in quickly as she knew I was in a rush. Large portion, well presented and will definitely return. Well done Bsq.

L. W.

Great hearty breakfast felt the staff couldn't do enough for you

F. A.

Food was lovely staff were very nice but with having to keep the door open to ventilate the shop I was very cold as the shop is in the shade otherwise very nice and clean.

M. M.

Lovely neighborhood restaurant, with very friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

J. C.

Just had an amazing breakfast and French toast with drinks with a friend here today. Super friendly staff, well timed, tasty and fresh food, served in welcoming surroundings. Had read some reviews claiming food not great, but was so pleased I went. So reasonably priced too, I can't get over how they weren't chocka block, as they absolutely deserve to be. Had great seating by the window, so got the lovely warm sun while watching the world go by. Would heartily recommend and will definitely be back! 😋

Lovely place with a wee dog keeping watch at the door. Very good prices although portions maybe a little bit smaller than usual. Good if you're looking for somewhere with normal food and decent prices.

Just had a lovely lunch at this cafe in Portobello. Fantastic 2 course meal for ONLY £6.95. My haggis fritters were great & my chilli loaded potato skin with sour cream & salad was nice. Americano coffee was perfect. Staff lovely & friendly made sure no cheese in my dish. Give them a try. Not far from prom. You

I had the Christmas Menu on a night out and it was one of the nicest meals I've had in a long time. Soup, Sea Bass, Sticky Toffee Pudding. Very impressed.

T. W.

Friendly, great food and very reasonable prices. Two breakfasts and one evening meal so far. Wine was good too, but since we brought our own.....

Nice little gem of a cafe. Used it as a venue for a funeral party and the owner couldn't have been any more helpful.

My husband and I visited Butternut Squash for the fourth time a few weeks ago, we normally enjoy a delicious breakfast but this time we decided to have an evening weekend meal. We were not disappointed, we both had a beautiful 3 course meal and enjoyed Keith's friendly banter as always. This place is not to be missed! Try it for a weekend evening meal, highly recommended!

So excellent! What a great atmosphere and amazing food. The camembert cheese is just delicious. Owners are so great and funny. The only con would be only cash accepted so bring cash

N. B.

Great food and great atmosphere and also friendly happy and helpful staff ,,,,😄👍

I gave it 3 stars because while it looks like a great place with good food, they only accepts cash. I had to skip it as my intention on this trip was to do it with out local currecy.

Excellent in all aspects, cracking breakfast, friendly staff, great service, warm interior, cosy, clean, and value for money, would highly recommend, and I'm very fussy with my brekkie's, being a chef for over 30 years. So this is a major compliment, Bravo butternut squash!
