  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
The first breakfast brunch venue in Amsterdam finally makes it to Scotland!

ALL DAY Breakfast / Brunch and Lunch menu. Vegan - Vegetarian and Gluten Free dishes and options. Fully licenced and located in the centre of town just off George Street and 5 minutes from Princes Street and the Station.

Dutch inspired and owned.

Homemade drinks and all food prepared fresh daily.

We pride ourselves on sourcing top quality local ingredients and make our products fresh on the premises as much as we can. And of course, we also brought our Dutch roots with us as well. You’ll find it on the menu and in the restaurant itself. Fancy some traditional Dutch ‘appeltaart’ (apple pie)?

    Food delicious and good menu choice. Disappointed with staff attitude when I arrived with my friend and her baby. They did not appear to welcome baby’s and despite moving our table and seeing mum trying to quieten her baby had 3 different waitresses ask for order in the space of 5 minutes. Would recommend not baby friendly

    Thank you so for taking the time to review, we appreciate all feedback so that we can grow and improve as a business. I am happy to hear about how much you enjoyed your food and our recently changed menu. I am very sorry to hear that you did not feel welcome with your friends baby. We love having babies at Greenwoods, My self and our Director are both currently pregnant so babies is all we can talk about!

    Lovely waitress and great food, as always. We were however very tightly packed in, so I was conscious if my chair not hitting the table behind and same for my partner on the other side. It felt like we were on a conveyor belt so had to eat and go rather than enjoy the food at our own pace. Didn’t feel it was worth the money

    Thank you so much for your review, so happy to hear how much you loved our team and our tasty food! We are a small restaurant that is styled on our other restaurants over in the Netherlands. On the day that you visited it was a Rugby day and First weekend of the Christmas Markets making us even more busy than usual, am I very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy how fast paced and busy we are, I understand that this style isn't for everyone but this is something that as a team we have worked very hard to achieve.

    Probably the best breakfast I had in Edinburgh. The haggis was amazing. Eggs scrambled and cooked perfectly. Service was attentive. Must visit.

    This is a small business that is usually quite busy but even then they manage to give the best service and the most delicious food but unfortunately that wasn't the case this time, food was cold already when just delivered to the table and service was extremely poor, is been my favourite place for years but after yesterday events I frankly don't think we will be coming back.

    Hi Sharit, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us, we take all reviews that we receive very seriously. We are extremely sorry for the service you received on this day, as you know from your many other visits this is not our usual standard. I have sent you a wee email to discuss this further.

    5 stars all round! From the welcome as you stepped in to the goodbye as we left! The food exceeded my expectations. The service was friendly and welcoming. Good value for money. I will be sure to recommend to my friends. Can’t wait to come back and work my way through the menu!

    if I have to complain about anything it was the booking on line seemed rather complicated if your not on open table and to log on to book took me an hour to do. For booking an hour slot , which didn’t seem quite long enough was my only complaint and felt I had to rush my experience there as had to be conscious of the time. Could you not at least give an hour and 30mins for a brunch as it would have been more relaxed , it is not cheap but loved so far all the food and it was excellent cooking and also was so accommodating for an unusual diet that I’m having to be on just now .. THANK YOU .. all the staff were LOVELY and very helpful .
