We missed spotting Highland cows during our short trip in Edinburgh. We found this place not too far from the city and hoped they wouldn't judge us for coming to see the cows. The staff here were absolutely lovely and welcoming. This place was our last stop before the airport, so we had our luggage with us. They were very friendly and offered to keep our luggage safe until we returned after the hike. We were able to see two of their old Highland cows and a bunch of horses. The restaurant is situated in a very scenic location. We tried their coffee and hot chocolate, and it was comforting on a rainy day. A big thumbs up to the staff there!

I came for lunch, in July 2023. Had a delicious soup, although I can't remember was, now, it was delicious (it was a quirky combination, though). I also had the kedgeree, which was excellent, with a lot of smoked haddock.
The views across Edinburgh are exceptional, too.
I also bought a cheese and jalapeno scone, to rake away, and this was also delicious. They had a good variety fresh baked scones.

My first visit here as I was staying nearby hopefully I will be able to come again.. The Brasserie sits in a beautiful location with gorgeous views looking back over the City..

Lovely place, a but too posh for me, especially if you go there after the hike up the farm to see highland cows. Stuff lovely tho and the orange cake strange, but delicious! The coffee is not the greatest but not the worst. The kitchen was closed at 4pm which was not ideal either.

A hidden gem, far from the hustle & bustle of the city. Tucked away on the base of a hill / golf course. Excellent food & beverage offering. Prompt service & attentive staff. Unfortunately could not spot the highland cattle 🐮. Nachos, fish & chips, Mac n cheese and vegan curry with saffron pulaf. All of them were good.

Swanston Brasserie is a hidden gem. Based at the foot of the Pentlands Hills between Hillend and Colinton.
Amazing views across Edinburgh through the full length glass windows and the food is to a high standard.
The staff are friendly and attentive and make you feel welcome from when you walk in to when you walk out.
If you fancy a walk before or after there are resident Highland Cows and a couple of golf courses too.

Fantastic food where I had the cheese and bacon burger with perfect chips, service was brilliant with the waiters and waitresses being super polite and it was a lovely place to be in. Will definitely be coming again when we come back to Edinburgh!

Good place to stop by after going up for a hike in the farm
Yes they have a couple vegan options (the vegan meatballs were great!)

Went for brunch with my wife and 2 year old. Lovely full Scottish breakfast, and the staff were very accommodating for the wee one. Car transportation suggested for large groups, otherwise about a mile walk off the nearest bus route.

Nice ambiance looking on the city to the pentland hill. Staff accomodating and warm. A bit frustrated a bit with the curry. But aside from that, we certainly enjoy the service.
