Ramen · Edinburgh
Small, busy and cheerfully packed — the kind of place with a queue outside that moves fast, because the turnover is quick and the food arrives in about twenty minutes. Tables sit close together, so it's not one for a sprawling pram parade, though buggy access and high chairs are there and the music stays low enough to hear each other across the table. Portions are big and prices are gentle, which helps with sharers: the tonkotsu ramen gets the most love for its comforting broth and tender chashu pork, and the katsu rice, black garlic ramen and prawn tempura all have their fans. There's a kids' menu, vegan choices, and halal options clearly marked. Staff are warm with everyone; one parent describes them as "sweet and kind". Leftovers come home in free insulated bags.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
A relaxed Edinburgh coffee shop with vegan options and a glowing 5.0 rating from over 950 visitors.
Build-your-own açaí bowls with unlimited toppings and quick, friendly service — small inside and pricey, but a genuine treat.
Bagels worth the queue and genuinely good coffee, though it's small and service can feel brisk when the breakfast rush hits.
