Reviews of The Pantry

amazing, amazing....just bloody amazing super service.....there just for a long week end in my favorite city of the UK. the food is just perfect and OMG that dessert of the day (not on the menu....but recommended. flavour of a sticky toffee pudding made a foam and dropped on perfect french toast.... all covered with amazing fresh strawberries and strawberry coulis....;WHAT ELSE? a massive big smile..... thanks again....

Had a full breakfast £15 and a latte £3.75. 10% service charge automatically added on top which I wasn’t too pleased about. I will decide on whether a tip is due or not. The latte was the smallest I’ve had in a long time. The breakfast was nice apart from the sausages that lacked taste. For £15 I’d have hoped for a slice of toast but that was extra £1.50. Perhaps give a bit less haggis and pudding and add some toast.

Pantry is one brunch place I always recommend to people as they do one of the best waffles I’ve had! I love the chilled vibes and during summer it’s nice to take a book and grab a seat outside while having something. Staff are very friendly and their food is unreal. You know they use quality ingredients when you try the food. I’ll be back soon again.

One of two factors by which I judge a restaurant is 1) the restaurant should be full with people and 2) there should be several items on the menu that I would want. The Pantry satisfies both. On a Tuesdays midday the restaurant was buzzing with activity. The halloumi and braised lamb were outstanding.

Our lockdown brunch delivery!<br/><br/>You must make sure you place your order at least 48 hours in advance on their website to get a delivery slot. If you stay within Edinburgh city, the Pantry allows you to choose which day (Friday - Sunday) to have your brunch delivered on. However, if you live a little further outside the city, they do offer delivery to the Lothians, but will only deliver on specific days (so best to double-check before ordering, so you don't miss out!). When your delivery date finally arrives, the delivery is made (contactless of course!) earlier in the morning to allow you to have it all ready in time for brunch that same day!<br/><br/>We each received our own portion along with personalised instructions on how to heat them up. Since the Pantry had done most of the hard work for us already, all we had to do was warm the waffles and bacon through. We put them in the oven at 180ºC for around 5 - 10 minutes.<br/><br/>Before ordering, we had worried that the food wouldn't be up to the same standards that you would have in the restaurant; that the freshness wouldn't be there, that the ingredients wouldn't taste the same or that warming it at home would overcook everything, but luckily we were wrong! The waffles tasted amazing, the bacon still crispy and the blueberry compote mixed perfectly with the maple syrup to create a taste so close to the Pantry magic we have always loved.<br/><br/>Although the menu is limited, there is something for everyone - we guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

This place is awesome! My husband and I were looking for a good breakfast/brunch place while visiting Edinburgh and thought we’d check The Pantry out. Their food was delicious and their service was very friendly. We shared the U.S.A and Sunshine On Stockbridge (with bbq chorizo). Both were really tasty and beautifully presented. Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent service and food! Perfect in every way!<br/><br/>If you are looking for a tasty brunch with great service then this is definitely the place to go! Food was absolutely delicious and a reasonable price. Their iced coffees were perfect and how an iced coffee should be! Staff were super friendly and very attentive. We most definitely will be coming back again!

Visited for a beautiful and delicious brunch on a recent trip! It gets very busy, so do be prepared to wait for a table (the surrounding areas is beautiful for a wander whilst you wait!) I had a fabulous Scottish hot smoked salmon, on avocado toast with a poached egg & lovely Chai tea. The food themed posters and decor was also great.

First time trying haggis and black pudding... I think I shall opt for the usual English breakfast... The Scots definitely have too unique cravings that is not quite suitable for me! Good try though... Now I know I don't like it. Pimp My Fried (£11). Cured streaky bacon, pork sausages, Stornaway BP haggis, free range egg, beans, roasted thyme tomato, mushrooms.

We went there on Easter Sunday! The staff were super friendly and accommodated us fairly easily even though we were a table of 6! They have a really interesting menu, there's some twists on their typical breakfast platters. I had the Sunshine on Stockbridge as well as the Epic Waffles! The Sunshine on Stockbridge was really good but the Epic Waffles lacked taste!

I really love brunch. Like, really love brunch. And it excites me when I find somewhere that loves this wonderful weekend meal like I do.<br/><br/>Despite technically being in Stockbridge, The Pantry is a mere stones throw away from Princes Street so is a great choice for someone spending the day in the centre.<br/><br/>Expect all the normal lovely brunchy things- poached eggs, artisan toast, avocados... I went for the Breakfast Quesadilla, a yummy mexican-style toastie containing chorizo, ham and mushroom, topped with a poached egg and guacamole. My friend chose Sunshine Over Stockbridge, which was a slice of chunky toast topped with roasted vine tomatoes and avocados. Yummy!<br/><br/>The portions aren't massive but certainly enough for a good midday bite. With a kids' play area as well, this is a good choice for big and little foodies alike.

I have visited the Pantry twice (I hate giving poor reviews, especially on impulse) but it is safe to say I did not enjoy either experience. Don't get me wrong, the food and coffee are nice enough, served in a similar style to Urban Angel although not, in my opinion, anywhere near as good. The service, however, is quite terrible. On both occasions myself and my partner were ignored for upwards of half an hour before even being giving a menu, the staff appear disinterested and lacking in basic hospitality training and, again on both occasions, our order, which was extremely slow to even come out, was wrong, resulting in more waiting time (we were there for well over an hour before something even passed our lips) and no apologies from the staff whatsoever. I can forgive just about anything for good food and, despite the tone of this particular review, consider myself to be an easy going customer, but the 'nice' (a.k.a average) food at The Pantry combined with the below average service I received means that I would be reluctant to return anytime soon. In a city as filled with with amazing places to eat as Edinburgh, there are too many appealing alternatives.

I think the reviews on here are a little harsh.. Staff were pleasant throughout our visit and (unlike other posts) we were given a menu immediately on arrival. <br/>Great vegetarian selection, I had the veg eggs Benedict with asparagus. My only complaint was that one if the eggs could have done with being a teeny bit more done, and another slice of bread would have been good (as you only got the one).

I have had breakfast here- very underwhelming. When I asked whether I could get smoked salmon instead of a meat element of the breakfast, they said they didn't have salmon anymore (it was on the menu) and if they would it would be too expensive. When I said I would happily pay extra they said they still wouldn't serve it.<br/>Breakfast then was cold, small portion for the price and the toast so dry I left it. It was too dark on one side and not toasted at all on the other.<br/>It took so long for them to take my plate I went to the bar and paid. A pity as I like their menu and are walking distance from where I live :(

Met friends here on a weekday for our hour long lunch break. We ordered coffee and a sandwich which took 50 minutes! The staff seemed in no hurry to provide a good service and when the food finally came I had 5 minutes to try eat as much as possible before rapidly paying the bill and running back to work. The coffees were average, the hot chocolate was basically just warmed milk and the poached in in the sandwich was very over done. It's a shame as the menu is great and the food was tasty but it's a central location which will attract a lot of people interested in a quick bite away from the office but the service is just too slow.

First time here- not really impressed. No menus anywhere, only guide was a specials board with 3 things on it, a soup, a stew and mulled apple juice. Everything else was guesswork. Service was at the counter. We ordered a tea,and a white coffee. No loose tea, between suppliers apparently. Coffee was pretty weak and small. - all quite underwhelming.<br/>Won't be rushing back.

We visited the Pantry on monday and had a fantastic lunch. The menu was varied and we could have probably ordered anything from the menu and enjoyed it. The only downside was it was a little bit noisey but this would be our only complaint. <br/><br/>Check out the rest of our review over at http://www.edinburgers.co.uk/the-pantry-stockbridge-review

So once again we ventured over to Stockbridge and sampled more of the fantastic food that’s on offer. This time we found ourselves at The Pantry .  The Pantry is tucked away on NW Circus Place.  They aim to showcase fantastic Scottish ingredients and turn them into fantastic dishes.  The menu at The Pantry changes weekly depending on the produce available and brings local produce to our busy city lives. We were invited along to try out the Pantry so decided to visit on Monday.  Of course the weather was doing it’s usual Bank Holiday effort and raining lots, so we wisely sat inside, although on rare sunny days there is seating outside to enjoy the sun.  Inside is open and decorated with Broons comics on the walls, their attention to detail is evident and we had great expectations that this would be carried through to their food. Mr Edinburger was first off the mark and ordered Scotch duck egg ‘our PR lady Sue’s Duck egg’ sagey sausage meat, apple and thyme sauce with English mustard.  I

Was hoping for more out of The Pantry when we wandered in for a meal around noontime the other day. They were no longer serving breakfast, and we were informed that certain items on the lunch menu wouldn't be available until after 12:30. Left with a small selection of not-particularly-interesting choices, I opted for a cheese sandwich. Which was fine for a cheese sandwich, I suppose, but secretly I wanted to be eating something more exciting than a cheese sandwich. <br/><br/>Service was friendly enough, and the outdoor seating area looks quite appealing. I'd go back for a coffee or maybe to give their breakfast a try, but I wouldn't bother with lunch there again - too many better choices in the neighborhood.

The Pantry is one of the latest additions to the Stockbridge culinary scene, and what a time it is for the area. Recently voted the 3rd coolest place to live in the UK the area is alive with some of the trendiest and most relaxed eateries in the city. The Pantry falls into this category for sure.<br/><br/>From the menu you see above the keep it small, seasonal and achievable. You won't see 30 items here just a great combination of fresh and local produce.<br/><br/>For starters my dining chum and I both opted for the crab & smoked salmon gazpacho! What a great dish, fresh gazpacho with fresh crab and a light smokey salmon all come together to create a great summer dish. The seasoning was spot on, just can't fault it.<br/><br/>For main I had the hogget with mash, seasonal greens and sauce vierge. Seasoned pink lamb, smooth mash, capers, lemon.....mint...... YUMM!!! Really it's as tasty as it looks. The lamb was so tender, again for what is a very modest place this was an accomplished dish and is the kind of food you want to demolish! <br/><br/>My dining chum had squid stuffed with rice, I only tried a little but again very tasty.<br/><br/>For desert I think made a mistake.... I had the cheese and it was very tasty as cheese goes but check this out......<br/><br/><br/>Rhuuuuubarb, pannacotta wow!! Looked great, tasted great, could have been a desert in a much fancier much more expensive restaurant. These guys are really working hard and it's paying off.<br/><br/>To get a 3 course meal for £30 in Stockbridge is always a win in my book! It's BYOB and topping it off with a bottle from Australia's coolest wine makers Some Young Punks made for a great night.<br/><br/>The Pantry - Highly Jd Recommended!!!

      If ever there was a place name that would excite my little food-loving brain, it would definitely be something called ‘The Pantry’. And so good news, as towards the end of last year, a new café, some-time bistro & shop unit opened in Stockbridge. It’s a part of town where it’s refreshing to see that independently-owned food stores and restaurants still flourish despite the infringement of big-name supermarkets and coffee shops from all sides. So, what’s on offer at The Pantry? Well, first off it’s a great space, a sunny spot on the corner at North West Circus Place, offering outside seating if the weather allows, and very comfy kitchen-style furniture to plonk a hungry person down on. As you walk in, and frankly you can’t miss them, prepare to gawp at the array of triple- and quadruple-decker sponge cakes and giant scones from Lovecrumbs which line the window sill. A pot of good quality tea (here, supplied by Pekoe) and cake is always a treat , and especially so sitting in a frie

Fantastic. Had an early dinner here on Saturday night and was blown away by the food. I had the whiskey smoked salmon which was cut in chunks rather than the thin slices I've had before - what a lovely texture; followed by the best pork belly I have ever tried. My husband, who can be quite fussy, was really pleased with is pigeon breast to start and trout main course. It's a relax unpretentious place that makes amazing food at reasonable prices - what a recipe for success - a must try if you're in town. To top it off, BYOB and corkage at £2 per person is a great deal.
