It's all so effortless and fun, and above all, done very well. I am happy to indulge. My spicy mango sour did the trick. I sometimes like to ask for a recommendation when I can't decide and Iona's tip was spot on. The cocktail menu is extensive; there's something for all tastes. This was delicious. - Not too spicy, not too sweet. Followed up by the cherry nuts shot with black cherry rum and amaretto. This cherry-lover approves and this served as a dessert to round the night off to a better end. Was it okay that they had run out of shot glasses and opted for a short cocktail glass and also topped it with a tonne of cream? Umm, YES. No disappointment here. Service was attentive despite the bar overflowing on a Friday night. This was just what we were after and is a wonderful spot for a drink. You'd be missing out if you didn't have a cocktail. If you're not drinking, there's an interesting selection of mocktails too. Cheers, Montpeliers! - You know just how it's done.

The cafe was an adorable old house turned into a cafe and we got a seat near the back looking over the garden in the back of the space. It was really nice. My wife got the seasonal eggs Benedict and I got the peas a la salt. The Bennedict was good, but seemed like it was missing something. My best guess is that it's just the English muffin wasn't as sturdy as I'm used to and I'm used to it that way. The peas a la salt came over sourdough bread with bacon, black pudding and a poached egg. Same as the Bennedict, it was all yummy, but not amazing. The peas were very far from mushy (which is good), but maybe could have been a bit firmer. Things just didn't quite come together the way I would have hoped.

When we arrived at noon (opening time), the restaurant wasn't too busy. There is an impressive bar downstairs with many whiskies. We were led upstairs to the dining area. There is outdoor dining too that would be nice if the weather was warmer. Cool vibe, but it is kind of dark inside the stone walls. The menu is Scottish-focused with seasonal ingredients. We didn't want to overeat, so we decided to share a starter and a main. We got the Scottish venison fritters, which were ok. We enjoyed the pappardelle pasta (roast pumpkin and pecorino sauce, wild mushrooms, spinach, bacon and poppy seed crumb, crispy sage). It was flavorful and didn't feel too heavy. Staff were friendly and it was an enjoyable lunch.

The problem comes in the form of spotty service from the staff. Most members of the staff are really kind and helpful, providing top notch service, however just like the saying goes, bad apples truly ruin the bunch. On our last visit, our server Ana seemed like she had no care in the world for any of her customers, acting in a very rude manner for the entirety of the dining experience. Most of the time she just flat out ignored us leaving us sitting around wondering when we would be helped. TL;DR If you're willing to overlook the relatively spotty service that seriously needs to be addressed by management in the form of proper hiring and training practices, the food here is quite tasty!

It's not too busy during the week and if you go at lunchtime you can take advantage of their lunchtime buffet offer. Basically you can help your self to as much pizza, pasta and salad as you want.

Drinks are unlimited no matter when you go, you only pay for the first one. Their evening menu has a large variety of pizzas, pastas and salads. The kids meals a really good and they get a mini salad bowl which is good to keep them going while they wait for their meals. As with all pizza huts there's the ice cream factory which is good for adults and kids!

Again my banana milkshake was a little lumpy for my tastes but I think that's to "show authenticity"*shrugs* They also offer student discount and double discount on tuesdays.

As we approached the entrance, we were greeted by a kind waitress who took us to our table which was conveniently located by the window with views over the docks with a boat just in. I had a cheeseburger which was very good. The bread was nice and crispy, the meat was fresh with a nice hint of garlic and the cheese was freshly sliced cheddar. For my side, I had the hand cut chips which were brilliant! They had a nice crisp texture and melted in the middle. Just be wary of the salt shakers. I thought it was like a pepper grinder but as soon as I turned it over, the salt began tumbling out at the speed of light which is rather annoying. To drink I had a banana milkshake. It was very nice but as Auburn said, there are lumps of banana in the bottom of the cup that get stuck in the straw which is a bit unappetising. We also had fresh water from the machine which was ice cold, just as I like it! I went to the toilet before I left which was clean enough but the tap was one of those annoying ones that turns off after about 5 seconds. Visiting the Handmade Burger Company was a good decision on our part and it makes a nice change of pace to the Pizza Express next door which is always ever so busy. Today the restaurant was practically empty and of course, the seats that were mainly taken were the ones in the window. I actually think this place has more windows than Pizza Express, so therefore benefits from more natural light coming in.

What they specialise in here are cheap rolls that will give you a good lunch offering different fillings at reasonable prices. If you are a bit peckish and in the area, I do recommend it because in exchange for a pittance at two pounds you'll receive not only a bacon roll, but also a hot chocolate. This isn't even a special offer they put on; it's just two items from their menu that are great value for money. More luxurious items will, I must warn you, set you back in the region of an extra fifty pence, but whatever you buy you'll still get betting great value for money. It's hard to match this place for price so there is really no reason to go elsewhere.

Getting to snag a La Favorita FTR feels almost devious. It's like I just laid down some James Bond…read morerealness on the Yelp Edinburgh community. They found Morningside and Leith, but Blackhall? Blackhall is all mine baby! Ok, gloating aside, there's a very good reason you should know about this particular La Favorita because it's the only one in town that opens at noon on the weekdays. Why is this important? Well because if you too find yourself sick on a Tuesday and drag your sorry butt out of bed at noon only to discover there is no food in the house and your go-to delivery spots don't open until 5pm, well this too shall be your saving grace. You're welcome internet. This place was so good, that I ordered from them two days in a row. Yeah, that's right, I was sick - there is no shame in this people - NO SHAME. Here's what i've learned thus far: Always opt for the 10'' over the 14'' pizza - even if you're ordering for more than one person. I grabbed a 10'' pizza the first go round and it was so delicious that I ordered a larger 14'' for myself the next day because i'm a monster. The crust on the 14'' was way too thin and my delightful truffle oil pizza (see below), got soggy and less delightful in the larger size. My go-to now and forever will be the Montanara - tomato sauce, wild mushrooms, italian sausage, mozzarella and white truffle oil. But (and stay with me here), if you want to ninja the heck out of this, lose the italian sausage, double up on the wild mushrooms and add garlic & olive oil. Yeah... it's as badass as it sounds. Again: You're welcome internet. Also, score yourself some sparkling apple juice! It's no better than soda, but you can trick yourself into thinking it is. Ignorance is bliss when you're sick. I'm not a huge pizza gal and I came back for near instant seconds with this place. If that's not saying something well... you haven't actually read this review and just skimmed to the bottom, so shame on you! Even writing this review is tempting me to order some delicious truffle oil clad pizza love this evening. It's addictive, it's convenient and the delivery drivers don't look judgey when two days in a row, you open the door at 2pm in sweats. If that isn't love...
