Passey's Cafe Bar

Food was well cooked and tasty, place had a nice casual idiosyncratic vibe to it, service was friendly. Menu was perhaps a little limited for those on restricted diets. Sea bass in a chorizo sauce for example is obviously limited to eaters of both. No obvious gluten free options. These restrictions are more common these days, however it is quite a small place so forgiven.

Really good breakfast spot. ai has the full Scottish breakfast which was really reasonably priced and good quality ingredients. Coffee was pretty damn fine too. I was pretty early on a Sunday morning so didn't need to book but it's not a huge place and very good, so I would recommend booking. Visit, you'll love it. Dog friendly too.

What a great find. My partner and I stumbled across this place when on a visit to portobello. We were made to feel very welcome from the start by Alanna. We had a lovely bottle of red and I had the Passeys wagyu burger with home made burger sauce, delicious onion rings and wedges. Delicious! My partner had the most delicious steak cooked perfectly with rosemary which gave a subtle but delicious flavour. We then had biscoff cheesecake and a chocolate and orange torte which was so delicious! What a great place! A big shout out to Alanna and thanks to chef in the kitchen and his amazing dog barking talent as well as creating great food 😊

We could not have asked for a better or more enjoyable afternoon passing the time at Passey’s. Nick was great and made us feel like we were guests in his home. Although, I may be related to the namesake of this establishment (probably distantly 😃) my review here would be no different, either way. It was a highlight of our visit to Edinburgh (and Scotland generally).

Passey's is a reason to visit Portobello. Tip: The bistro is often fully booked and so I recognize booking ahead for any celebration. There's no question what a friendly and welcoming place Passey's is. The rainbow flag outside is a clear indication of that. I found the venue when people kept pulling that very flag down and I wanted to show my support. Karma must be a thing because my near token gesture revealed to me one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh. For me, it's a 90 walk, one way, to Passey's. It's worth it but the friendly welcome, knowing there's a comfortable chair, at a clean table, in a warm and relaxed indie restaurant is all the more important. But, it's the food that keeps me walking back. Tip: Check and be thoroughly tempted by the Specials board. I've never had less than a five star meal here. British food, Asian, Cajun, etc, etc, Passey's has a rotating menu and an impressive range. The portions are always generous even if nothing fills my stomach void. Dessert, I'm sure, will tempt everyone too (stomachs voids or not) because it looks great and the taste lives up to it. The wee restaurant off the high street is open fairly late too. Tip: Try the coffee. I've bought literal bags of their beans.

Great welcome, friendly staff and great food. I have ordered the Cesar salad and I asked some Mayo just in case the chicken would have been dry. I was totally wrong, chicken was perfectly cooked and the salad was the best I had in years, generous portions too! I had a sneaky look on the table next to mine and the Sunday roast it was looking very appealing! You should give it a try also coffee was good which is a rare find!
