Just finished breakfast here. A lovely breakfast spot indeed. Thanks for the recommendation.

Do make a reservation as we have seen a dozen groups turned away (Sunday at 1pm).

The Kings Wark is awite but if you are looking for a challenge head to Gladstones bar just up the road! The biggest and best breakfast plate around! All the usuals on the plate and cooked to perfection! This and a nice cup of tea, the best hangover cure available…………

I have to say this is definitely the best place in Edinburgh for breakfast which is why its so busy every Sunday. The choices are amazing and even the cheapest options come with free toast. My friends and I are there almost every week, the atmosphere is amazing, you can get lost just watching the staff who seem to enjoy being completely rushed off their feet. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

I have been touring edinburgh trying to find the best breakfast and I was also disaapointed with the Kings Wark. By FAAAAAARRRR the best IMHO is Toast in marchmont. Yum Scrum.

Long been a fan of King’s Wark and miss it since moving to Stockbridge but planning a visit there soon as I agree it’s Edinburgh’s Best Breakfast. Service can vary - if staff awake then can be pleasant if a little remiss at times (agree re: “where’s the toast”). Think the food is good value for money, but don’t bother with the OJ!

Just tried out the King’s Wark this morning based on this recommendation. We usually go to Bijou (www.bijoubistro.co.uk) - and that’s where we’ll be going in future still!

We were very disappointed with the King’s Wark. The service was quite poor, and the breakfast was not well cooked - raw tomato, quite raw mushrooms, sausages which looked liked they’d spent the minimum amount of time on a grill.

Definitely not Edinburgh’s best breakfast. The following are all much better in my opinion:
Bijou
Avoca
Hectors
The Roseleaf
Hamiltons
The Orchard

Best Breakfast - yes - but also best pub lunch in Edinburgh. We live nearby and are in here 2-3 times a month for Sat or Sun lunch
