Cafe Nom De Plume - Edinburgh

I'll check in here a bit, but never write a review. cafe nom de plume is a very cozy and quirky place to go to a meal or even just a coffee and cake. dogs are welcome, which means that I can always take my dog. However, since they do not have dissatisfied dressing facilities, babys are not allowed. although this does not touch me or a large part of my family. I recommend visiting them when they are in town. the staff are always happy, friendly and courteous.

It serves an excellent range of dishes, caters well for vegans and vegetarians, and has a warm and welcoming feel to the place

'After a relatively busy Saturday running all the usual errands, me and the girlfriend fancied grabbing a tasty lunch somewhere. We didn 't know what we wanted, trying to discover what type of food we fancied by visualising Edinburgh and all the restaurants. Nothing specific was tickling our fancy so the perfect place, we found out, would be the quirky restaurant called Nom de Plume at the bottom of Broughton Street. We had passed it a number of times, never going in but consistently announcing that we must try it one day, and we didn 't regret it. ' The food was tasty the BLT bagel was filled with crispy bacon and the side salad was packed full of flavour (the mustard dressing was particularly good). The macaroni cheese was a cheese lovers paradise plenty of melted cheese upon a well cooked and well seasoned plate of creamy pasta. Simple, but delicious. In conclusion, 'we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. I 'm often wary of restaurants that have large menus, however Nom de Plume seems to be a compromise to this rule. The dishes they do are simple, but done well. Nothing on the menu is going to knock your socks off, but you 're guaranteed to find a tasty dish that will leave you feeling satisfied. It 's home cooking at its best served with a smile within a cosy, quirky ambience. So if you simply don 't know what you want for lunch/dinner, head to Nom de Plume, they 're bound to have something you want '. Visit my blog for the full review.

I am feeling so happy for two reasons: it's my birthday today I've found a wee gem of a place I never knew existed. My Dad suggested this cafe for my birthday lunch, after visiting with a friend for coffee and smelling the wonders of the kitchen from his seat. I was instantly pleased when we walked through the doors to find a colourful, cosy interior will a cool vibe and warm stove. I had no idea what I fancied, so luckily the menu was very varied with lots of choice. My Dad and I decided to share olives and garlic bread with cheese to start, and for my main I had HAGGIS nachos. I'm a huge fan of eating haggis in any non traditional way, so I loved these. The cheese was spread evenly throughout, rather than the usual top layer of cheese with loads of naked nachos underneath! The olives were lovely and plentiful, and the melted mozzarella on the garlic bread was delicious. After such a feast at lunchtime you wouldn't expect to have room for a dessert. Well THINK AGAIN! Banoffee pie is my weakness, and it is my birthday after all. It came doused in cream and was more like a banoffee cheesecake. YUM. All in all a lovely birthday lunch. The setting was perfect with a relaxed atmosphere and the food was fantastic value. All of the above, plus my Dad's main course a beef horseradish sandwich AND two coffees (which were top notch) came to £26. SAY WHAT?! I would highly recommend this place.

I've watched this space go through at least half a dozen incarnations, always gay friendly, and they've all failed. As Nom de Plume they seem to have hit on a winner. With two seating areas, front and back, there's usually somewhere to find a seat and it's not uncommon to find a dog lurking which is far more atmospheric than babies. The food menu is huge, and with a good selection for people with dietary problems, hot and cold drinks to suit any pallet, and you're sure to get some interesting background music. If you're in this part of town and need a nibble, you'd be hard pressed to find somewhere better.
