Richmond Cafe Bistro

I cannot recommend enough! They have a lovely variety of food that is delicious and great value for money - so many options too! The staff and owner are all very helpful and friendly - always make you feel at home. The cafe itself is very cozy and clean - by far my favourite place in town. Highly recommend!

A lovely cafe with great food (and also a great price)❤️ My very first time having Cous Cous, and this was a good experience. It’s mildly seasoned but still flavorful. There are many veggies and chicken in the rice (but the chicken is quite chewy) Salad is so fresh, I love it so much😻 The pitta bread is also perfect in every single way! *This is quite a big portion of the meal (with so MANY fries) This is a good place for reading or working! The cafe is quiet and there are sockets under most of the tables. Overall, this is a cafe I would definitely recommend!

The place is quite busy but I was always warmly welcomed by the staffs. At the same time it’s surprising how the team manages the whole cafe with a huge variety of menu when they have such a compact kitchen. And my go-to menu, Medium meze, never fails. I regularly crave for their sautéed spinach. Well, there are reasons if a place is always so bustling😋

Richmond Cafe is my favorite comfort cafe nearby the University of Edinburgh campus. They are sometimes busy for very good reason, the coffee is some of the best in town and the food is also great. They server Turkish classics as well as other British foods. My favorite dish is the chicken schnitzel which is super filling and flavorful, fried chicken cutlet with a creamy mushroom sauce. I also love getting their baklava with a coffee. They have a beautiful family and dog friendly environment, free Wi-Fi and affordable prices. There are also big natural light windows that can be used to enjoy a nice day or people watch while you stay. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and will let you into their cafe with open arms and smile when they see you outside if you become a regular, even if you don’t come in. Thank you Richmond Cafe for being the star of the main campus area of Edinburgh and one of the best cafes in town!
