The Gift Tree is a cosy and homely place for a lunch, or to stop for coffee and a treat. There is also a good choice of teas. We were visiting family in the area for a few weeks and visited multiple times. We always got a warm welcome from Helen. She was lovely with my son too and had a high chair on hand. Try the chocolate orange brownie, it is delicious and served warm!
The Gift Tree is such a great place to dine, with such a lovely atmosphere, it’s peaceful, cheerful and full of character. The food is absolutely superb. We have now had the pleasure of sampling a few dishes, perfect in every way, tastey delicious treats that you will see you return for more! The master chef ‘Jean-Guy’, a gentleman with such a passion for food, we much enjoy the chat during our visit. Helen is also a big part of The Gift Tree, she looks after everyone so well, ensuring the needs are met of all the customers. Can’t recommend this little quaint place enough.
Nice little cafe with loads of gifts and craft gifts to buy
A small unprepossessing cafe & gift shop tucked away on a side street of an Edinburgh suburb - good for a cup of coffee and somewhere to sit out of the rain perhaps..?
BUT!
The food is absolutely superb, tasty & aromatic, a joy to experience; served by people who are not only expert, but enthusiastic with it.
Put another way, The Gift Tree is an undiscovered gem & well worth going out of one's way to experience.
Absolutely incredible food and service here. The chef Jean-Guy knows what he's doing. Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior, you will not be disappointed. We had 6 plates between 3 of us and I had to purchase a jar of the chef's homemade jam too as it was so good. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Edinburgh
Delicious food (all homemade I think), lovely staff, very efficient service. Lovely place to have lunch and there's also a beautiful selection of gifts. Will be back again
Lovely place to visit, nice choice of teas and bakes. Does great soup and lunch choices. I always pick up some handmade cards, that are a hit with all my friends and family.
The chef deserves a michelin! It's not what appears with the eye, it's so much more. The flavours and understanding of food and flavours would have me travelling from London to Scotland all over again! 😊 Thank you Jean-guy and staff!
Wasn't expecting such amazing food cant wait to go back 😁
Love this quirky, friendly little place. Offeres lovely handmade desserts and amazing scones with local crafters displaying their designs for sale. Would recommend a visit for lunch or one of their luxurious bistro nights.
Fantastic afternoon tea and the owners are just so lovley!
It's been especially great to have The Gift Tree during lockdow!
