Mclarens On The Corner - Edinburgh

Visited for breakfast. Staff were welcoming and the place is beautiful. Unfortunately the food was average at best. I had a lorne sausage and poached egg ‘croll’. The croll was very very dry as it had been overly toasted, and the egg was over cooked (the yolk was like chalk). They did give plenty of ketchup to re-hydrate the food but it wasn’t a pleasant experience to eat. Coffee was lovely.

Excelent food and service and good local beer. A very nice experience in a very cosy and nice place!

Great event for cocktails and wine. The latest version of the menu is usually larger meal times and a little smaller choice. we had a nice time.

We had a lovely lunch, service was great but the heating wasn’t working so super cold.

I have enjoyed visiting McLaren’s on numerous occasions and have previously had a very good experience which is why I recommend it to my friends. However my last visit was spoiled by the air conditioning as it was very cold! Considering the outside temperature was below freezing I do not even know why it was on. It completely spoiled our visit and we were keen to leave. I spoke to the staff about it on three occasions, we moved table but it didn’t help as it was still very cold. We were told they were ‘fiddling’ with the air con and we saw staff adjusting the thermostat at one point but it didn’t help at all. We couldn’t wait to leave and get home to warm up. I felt embarrassed as I’d told my friend that brunch here was a lovely experience. I shall be reluctant to suggest going there again as to me being a comfortable temperature is a pre requisite to enjoying a meal. Such a pity.
