I have been going to Bijou on and off now for the last year, always popping in whenever I'm in Leith. Sometimes just for a drink and one of their freshly home baked muffins, sometimes a meal, but always for a good chat with the staff! I always feel incredibly welcome and they always seem to remember me which is... More

This is a wonderful wee place. The menu is varied and inventive and the choice of 3 sizes of dishes is a great idea. I have often eaten here whether is be for a full veggie breakfast, lunch or dinner the food is always excellent and beautifully prepared and presented. The staff are very friendly and chatty and most helpful.... More

I've visited bijou on a number of occasions over the years and always been very impressed by the food and the welcoming atmosphere. HOWEVER........ Today I have never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant/cafe. I was 'greeted' by a grimace and when I asked for a table for lunch was told "you'll just have to sit there". After been thrown... More

After the excellent breakfast, I returned in a group to sample the dinner menu. Again this place didn't disappoint. Our group had a fair selection of dishes from the menu. I have to say I did try some of the others to get a taste. All were great tasting and will be ordered sometime in the future. The deserts and... More

Had been here for lunch a year or so ago on a previous trip back to Edinburgh and had been very impressed. This was reinforced on my last visit, when I enjoyed a fantastic dinner with a friend. Service could not have been more, friendly, thoughtful or efficient and the menu is pretty classy, offering three sizes of portion for... More

Culinary delights in this area used to be the local chippy. Thankfully Bijou has added a venue to the Leith bistro scene which is most welcome. I have to say that all I have had so far is the all day breakfast, but it was a pleasure to have eaten it. Pride of place on the plate is a big... More

My boyfriend took me to Bijou this Valentine's Day and I was very impressed. The food was delicious. I had haggis parcels to start, salmon fishcakes for main and apple and rhubarb crumble for dessert and everything was first class. The food is very reasonably priced for what you get. My boyfriend had the cheeseboard, which looked amazing, and it... More
