The Gift Tree is such a great place to dine, with such a lovely atmosphere, it’s peaceful, cheerful and full of character. The food is absolutely superb. We have now had the pleasure of sampling a few dishes, perfect in every way, tastey delicious treats that you will see you return for more! The master chef ‘Jean-Guy’, a gentleman with such a passion for food, we much enjoy the chat during our visit. Helen is also a big part of The Gift Tree, she looks after everyone so well, ensuring the needs are met of all the customers. Can’t recommend this little quaint place enough.

A small unprepossessing cafe & gift shop tucked away on a side street of an Edinburgh suburb - good for a cup of coffee and somewhere to sit out of the rain perhaps..?
BUT!
The food is absolutely superb, tasty & aromatic, a joy to experience; served by people who are not only expert, but enthusiastic with it.
Put another way, The Gift Tree is an undiscovered gem & well worth going out of one's way to experience.

Lovely place to visit, nice choice of teas and bakes. Does great soup and lunch choices. I always pick up some handmade cards, that are a hit with all my friends and family.

The Gift Tree is a cosy and homely place for a lunch, or to stop for coffee and a treat. There is also a good choice of teas. We were visiting family in the area for a few weeks and visited multiple times. We always got a warm welcome from Helen. She was lovely with my son too and had a high chair on hand. Try the chocolate orange brownie, it is delicious and served warm!

Absolutely incredible food and service here. The chef Jean-Guy knows what he's doing. Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior, you will not be disappointed. We had 6 plates between 3 of us and I had to purchase a jar of the chef's homemade jam too as it was so good. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Edinburgh

The chef deserves a michelin! It's not what appears with the eye, it's so much more. The flavours and understanding of food and flavours would have me travelling from London to Scotland all over again! 😊 Thank you Jean-guy and staff!

Love this quirky, friendly little place. Offeres lovely handmade desserts and amazing scones with local crafters displaying their designs for sale. Would recommend a visit for lunch or one of their luxurious bistro nights.
