Made with love and skill - Edit
We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast burger - in the top 3 burger experiences ever! - and perfect soup and haggis melt sandwich combo. Everything homemade fresh to order. The pickles, slaw, kimchi were super fresh and so tasty. Lovely environment and a really friendly all-women team.

The Sly Fox - Edit
A beautifully decorated restaurant with friendly staff. The entire menu is vegan, and there's a wide selection of dishes. We had the pancakes and the breakfast burger and found both delicious.

A little disappointing - Edit
The wait staff and the staff working the counter weren’t very friendly and the cafe lacked quality baked goods. We were told to move tables with no explanation given. Our croissants were okay but not great. I really appreciate that they are vegan but there are certainly better vegan cafes in Edinburgh.

Extensive menu - Edit
A really extensive fully vegan menu. I had the goulash with a side of pickled peppers and my husband the breakfast burger. The food was delicious (i'd eat those pickled peppers by the jar load!). Can't wait to go back as there are so many dishes I want to try!

Lovely spot! - Edit
We ordered a variety of starters and the spicy goulash. It was a busy day and the cafe was full when we arrived. We asked the staff if they would have a table for us in 30 mins so we came back later. The cafe was cosy and tasty dishes the only thing is the 'spicy goulash' wasn't spicy and was missing salt.

Very tasty - Edit
As a Czech, I am delighted to have this Czech-owned place in Edinburgh! Unfortunately, I live far away, so I've only managed to visit once so far - for a Sunday breakfast. The place was surprisingly crowded on a Sunday morning, so maybe a reservation is reasonable. Lovely staff, delicious food and decent portions. It appears, though, that the prices have risen significantly over the past few months. However, I will be back to try some of the mains!

SO good - Edit
Stopped off for brunch and was not disappointed. Fresh and delicious food, lovely staff and quirky cosy cafe. Breakfast burger was amazing (add the haggis!), french toast (with the caramelised fruit), cappuccino, hot choc (cream and marshmallows of course) and 2 cakes to take away... All delicious and at just over £40 not too pricey either for the excellent quality. Can't wait to return !!

Great cafe - Edit
I’ve been to The Sky Fox on numerous occasions, and it’s never let me down. With a creative menu blending Scottish and Eastern European flavours, plus the warm and welcoming atmosphere, it’s always worth a visit.
Read moreToday, I tried the breakfast burger with a side of fermented vegetables, and it was incredible! I left feeling energized and ready to tackle the day with a spring in my step.
Highly recommend for anyone seeking delicious vegan food served with heart.

Amazing - Edit
Firstly this was a warm spot on a cold day. Stumbled on it when looking for a warmer cafe as the vegan one we intended to eat at was freezing. This was around the corner. So glad we found it. Great space and delicious food. Loved the mix of Eastern European, Scottish and English. Chai Latte was amazing.
