We were discussing whether this meal was better than the michelin star restaurant we visited in Edinburgh. However the conclusion was that Frank's came second, but loosing to a michelin restaurant is OK.

Don't let the name fool you, this is not a Swiss restaurant. Edelweiss is a sandwich shop serving…read morevery nice sandwiches with locally made cheddar cheese and locally made apple cider. The restaurant atmosphere is very nice and comfortable. Service was incredibly friendly, and we were able to get a seat despite not having a reservation. The place was packed on a Sunday for lunch, so would recommend getting there early if you don't have a reservation. I ordered the Ploughman's lunch, which is essentially a deconstructed sandwich, and my wife ordered a cheese sandwich. I also ordered a side of fried (chips) which were very tasty. Would highly recommend.

I would go there again and highly recommend it. The décor is deliberately left in a 60's/70's ice cream parlour style which does suit it. The establishment has 5 stars for food hygiene and from what I could see the place was spotless. Good value, plenty of food for the money.

The food was pretty poor and most of the options unhealthy. Service was very slow, even though the place wasn't busy. The steps leading down into the café makes navigating a pram awkward. And to add insult to injury it wasn't that cheap. Clearly capitalising on the tourist trade that makes up most of it's custom...

There are lots of other places to eat here and none of them can possibly be as miserable and awful. I have given it one star because Qype won't let me give it none!!

Also due to a busy morning there was a limited selection of cakes- we booked well in advance ... The carrot cake was very stodgy and ended up in the bin ! However the chocolate fudge cake was apparently delicious. Could have done with a bit more cream for the scones but we did not request more and we also found the scones bit sticky . On paying the bill we were charged for the additional top up money for the hot chocolates and when we queried it we were told we should have looked at the website ! Perhaps you should have told us ! Felt a bit mislead ! we had a nice time but would not return .
