Good food and service

What a fantastic place. Today was my first visit but it definitely won't be the last. I had a breakfast burger and my companion had a croissant with haggis, bacon and cheese. We both enjoyed the food which was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful and just for a bonus they sell Fritz-kola which is one of my favourite colas and not easy to find.
The fact that the Sly Fox was so busy with people waiting for tables is testament to just how good it is. If you find yourself in Leith, look it out. You won't be disappointed.

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Fritz-kola

Food absolutely amazing!

After two weeks in the UK this was definitely the best vegan breakfast we had. Highly recommend!
It’s small, we were then when they opened but all tables were quickly filled up. We parked behind the building where it was 90 min free parking.

Pros: Great food, Cozy, Nice food selection

Perfect brunch spot

I ordered soup (pea and spinach), my husband had a hot croissant sandwich. Both were delicious. Our waitress was excellent, despite the fact that they were short staffed.

Best vegan brunch in Edi ✨️

Have tried numerous dishes here and every single one has been delicious. VERY high quality food, and at reasonable prices too. The owners and staff are so lovely and are committed to veganism and protecting animals. I rarely eat out nowadays but if I do, Sly Fox is first choice – it feels great to have nourishing, tasty food and know that no animals have been harmed for it 💕

Pros: Tasty, fresh food, Fantastic customer service, Lovely cafe vibe

Hidden gem!

I had vegan Ukrainian food here once and it was to die for. We also bought a couple plants (the plants on the tables are for sale) and they're still going strong a year later. Seeing this on happy for has reminded me I need to return. Wish it was more popular!!

Delicious food

Lovely space, with an interesting menu. I had the mushroom bruschetta which was delicious, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. B had spicy cabbage balls which he said, were lovely and something he’d never had before.

There was a little shop area on shelving near the till and some charity pins. I was confused by the BHF pins as they test on animals but everything else about the place was fab.

Fantastic spot!

Lovely fully vegan cafe with great, welcoming staff! Food is always on point when sitting in (not so great delivered which is often the case with a lot of places.) Diverse range of dishes, I recommend this place to everybody as the staff are so friendly and food so good 😀

Mac and Cheese Heaven

Best vegan food in Scotland. If you don’t order the Mac and Cheese (with bacon!) you’re doing it wrong. Staff all very friendly too. Nice vibe, some plants for sale.

So good went twice!

I loved everything, from the decoration, to the staff service and of course the food was incredible. The taste of the bacn, the scrambled tofu and the "meat" was very real. My non-vegan parents loved it! We would have gone again if they weren't closed for the holidays. I will definitely go back when I go back to Edinburgh. #Veganuary

Pros: The taste of the food, The atmosphere , The staff and service

What's not to like?

Great food, chilled vibe and lovely, friendly staff.

We ordered the potato pancakes and the satan burger with kimchi and fries, which were delicious, especially the pancakes. The dill cashew sour cream that was served with the pancakes was sublime 😋.

We also shared a delightful pot of titan tonka white peony tea.

What's not to like? A must visit.

A delightful space

The Sly Fox is such a lovely spot. It has a very cosy vibe with lovely decor and atmosphere and the menu is all so tasty sounding. Difficult to decide what to order, but so far everything tried has been very tasty. Staff also very friendly and helpful. A must visit in Leith.
