Love this place- it helps to make Portobello the lovely seaside haven it is! Lovely atmosphere and cocktails!
Well worth popping in! The menu is simple but tasty and suits the atmosphere of the place. Loads of special events like table quizzes, live music, movie club and kids friendly events too. Best of all, dogs allowed!

Our Saturday breakfast savours! We were running a little late this morning for getting a breakfast in Portobello. Called in at Skylark and they were thankfully serving their light breakfast 10am till 4pm, which was perfect. They did an awesome Flat White Coffee and my homemade roll with tasty black pudding and bacon was delicious, then followed by an beautiful granola with yoghurt and fruit compote. The granola was probably the best I've ever had with coconut and chopped nuts. Thank you to the team for the great hospitality and fantastic food. Look forward to visiting again soon!

Very impressed. Club sandwich and pulled pork sandwich were amazing. Everything that we saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious!

The Skylark was a lovely, casual cafe. They were quick and friendly. It's quirky with old chairs and small, long tables. Their menu is great for vegetarians (my vege friend said). I had the pulled pork which was delicious. The only thing is I wasn't a massive fan of their chips or their small tables - not a massive amount of room. I
f your looking for a quirky catch with a friend, then this is great stop by the beach!

This was the first time in over a year I've been back to Skylark. Used to go a bit and absolutely love their coffee and snacks. The team is always really friendly and welcoming. The new layout is actually really good and loving the current art instillation of Portobello Beach. I look forward to returning in the near future

We visited Skylark for the first time on Saturday for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime. It has been on our list of places to go for a while but we really wished we had gone sooner. The Croque Monsieur & Madamme were both to die for - the best we've had! I understand it may be the style of the place but we did feel like the tables and chairs could be renewed - there is a fine balance between the feeling of an eclectic mix or an unpolished style but these just felt a bit like primary school tables and chairs. However, please don't let that put you off - what matters is the food and it was great for the small sample we tried :)

Great little place with a small menu executed perfectly. Nice selection of drinks and a cool vibe. Music nights and quiz nights give it extra points too.

Wonderful meal. First time eating out with my husband since the world was turned upside down. Had the steak special and it was lovely. The hand cut chips were beautifully cooked and the rocket salad was fresh and full of flavour

Went with friends and our kids (three babies and two older kids in total) and were very well looked after. Kids menu was more extensive than I expected and they had crayons and colouring. My soup was tasty and the kids were happy so a win as far as I'm concerned! Staff were delightful too

An upmarket cafe idealy situated on the high street in Portobello. With its jumble of wooden benches and tables it's goes for a bit of a lived-in-but-funked-up look that they just about pull off. Food is great and hearty - their spicy soups are especially worth a mention. Staff not overly engaged but certainly not impolite. Dogs and children have been spotted lurking here, too.
