They do just about everything right here. For one; they focus on the food and what you as a…read morecustomer would like to eat and how you'd like to eat it. Secondly: No, actually, that is it. Alcohol license? They have a 12 seater restaurant, barely space for a cash register. So... Nah.. people will eventually complain about the coldness of their beer, or the off-ness of their wine. Nope, they'll stick with the green Jasmine / Lotus tea and to the food and concentrate on that. You bring in what you like at the temperature you'd like to drink it. Delivery? They will not have a driver on standby for you to eventually complain about the lateness and missing items. No no no. If you like the food that is cooked; you will come over and get it yourself. And trust me you will. I now understand those people that drive for miles to get their perfect hot chocolate served at some obscure farmers' coffee shack. I would be happy to order, jump on a bus and get food from here, if I feel flush I may even pay a taxi to collect and deliver... Heck, I may even visit people I know in the area a bit more to persuade them to do a takeout. You just swing by or phone up your order. They'll prepare and pack it in front to you so you'll know what you got. Ordering complicated dishes that take a long time to prepare? Sure you can, just order 24-48 hrs in advance - advice for how many people - and they'll have it ready for your the evening you visit. The lady that served us knew all about the dishes that were available, supplied recommendations and was in general very friendly, accommodating and extremely helpful. As they are popular they do turn the tables around. We had 2.5 hours on our table, which is more than ample. Be prepared to get stuck in, eat with your hands and get pretty messy with your meal... (Oh was that just me...?) But they provide napkins, wet towelettes, fingerbowls, etc... As it is such a small place I don't recommend this for families with young children. You cannot run around, highchairs, trolleys, car seats etc.. will be in the way and most possibly restrict movement of servers and guests. They have one toilet and it is down a very(!) steep flight of stairs. If you do insist I'd say book the whole restaurant. I recommend this place for couples and close group of friends around 6-8 We had a wonderful time and I'd like to thank the B&D Kitchen for having us!

Small establishment with one of the best authentic Cantonese cuisine in Edinburgh. One and only…read moreand probably the best in Edinburgh. It is really hard to get authentic cuisine here in Edinburgh as the Chinese population here is not as high as London. Definitely give this place a try and try what the Cantonese community has to offer. Staff are really nice and helpful as well.

This place is mainly for outside catering, like business lunches sent to offices, but whilst…read moreworking in Edinburgh I sampled some of their soup and sandwiches that had been ordered in to the store. They seem to be competing a bit with Bread and Olives, who also do catering, and it was interesting to see the prices pretty much match up exactly. The soup was Thai Chilli which I later found out was the speciality, and it was delicious with just the right amount of heat in it to be enjoyable! The sandwiches and baguettes were assorted but I enjoyed all of them, especially the chicken tikka. Delicious, and very reasonably priced if you need to have sandwiches made to order.

This is their best flavoured soup but at £2.20 could prove costly if purchasing on a daily basis.

On both occasions the food has been delicious and so well presented after Jim helped plan out each menu with useful innovative suggestions. Each time I have been able to enjoy the event knowing that a professional with an eye for detail was looking after the food which is such an important part of the night. We received many positive comments and the best compliment is that quite a few of my friends now also use them for their events. Many thanks Club Class!

I was out this morning, and noticed their beautiful display of cakes. I love cake, and so going in here was a very easy decision! Entering the shop, you're surrounded by a plethora of different cakes and baked goods. It really is a feast for the eyes. I was wanting a snack, and got myself a couple of shortbread biscuits, spending a total of £1. I was greeted with a cheery smile from the server, which is always great. Like so many small shops, they clearly take great care with their customer service. I can foresee a lot of visits here to sample their range of cakes. According to their website, they also do outside catering, which if their shortbread is anything to go by would probably be very tasty. A La Carte - delicious home baking in the heart of Bruntsfield.

Upon discovering the fact that these items aren't going to cost you an awful lot to buy you are likely to head in and pick something out of the selection and I promise you that you won't regret it. The food on offer from here is not only pleasing on the eye, but also very tasty. What is harder to notice about this shop is that it also does a whole lot more than cakes. Available at fairly reasonable prices are also portions of puddings, soups or meals which you won't regret buying and which are cheaper, and some might argue better, meals than you could get at any takeaway.
