Our time in Scotland is winding down and as usual we've only now just discovered a few new favourite eateries. Case in point, Nobles in Leith. The husband found it on Zomato and within 30 minutes we were at a cozy table for four (even though we were two) on the stage in the window at the front of the restaurant. I had the green chili and chorizo scramble. Instead of toast I asked for tomatoes because almost everywhere I've been this trip they serve them with breakfast and they cook them in a pan until the skin just splits open. Delicious! The rocket salad was an unexpected surprise which had a little olive oil only. I asked for a wedge of lemon to brighten it up. I would eat here every weekend if I lived nearby. This is our fourth trip here and I think our best holiday to date. We've done and seen a lot, eaten fantastic food, met great people and made a million memories. And, of course we'll be back. #paleo #primal #glutenfree #eathealthy #jerf #healthyliving #edinburgh #edinburgheats #holidays #food #eggs #wholefood #wholefoods #breakfast #saladforbreakfast #tomatoes #tomato #nutrtiousanddelicious #nutritiousfood #nutritious (at Nobles Café Bar & Restaurant)

📍Howies, Waterloo Place, Edinburgh ▪️ Smoked Mackerel Pate ▪️ Venison & Mushroom Casserole ▪️ Howies Famous Banoffee Pie (I added ice cream) We started with bread & olives which were delicious. Overall the food was great, really tasty and good portions. Disappointed in the Banoffee pie (it being my favourite), way too much cream and way too little Banoffee. I tried some of the Sticky Toffee Pudding and that was miles better. Service and ambience was also great, we weren’t rushed for our table. Good location, 5 minute walk from Waverley. Would go back but for their fixed price menu as it was pretty pricey and the food is virtually the same. #edinburghfood #edinburgh #edinburgheats #scottishfood #waverly #howies #banoffeepie #scottisheats #edinburghlife #edinburghfoodies #foodanddrink #scottishfoodanddrink #scottishfoodbible #edinburghfoodbloggers (at Howies, Waterloo Place Edin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2_Fn-slEa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Twelve Triangles

I always appreciate a good doughnut and the people who wake up at ridiculous hours to have fresh doughnuts available for you before the sun comes up. My Kindergarten best friend’s family owned a few doughnut shops in Oakland and Berkeley so I definitely got my fair share of them as a child. Side note, but I love this article about the Back Story Behind Cambodian-Owned Donut Shops. 

Anyways, I think I found the best doughnuts in Edinburgh. Granted, I haven’t tried any other places, but these are AMAZING and deserve its own blog post. Twelve Triangles is the sister location to Lovecrumbs, a cake and cafe shop that is also highly recommended.

Twelve Triangles is right off Leith Walk and you’ll see this sign to remind you that you should be eating a doughnut. 

The staff is very friendly, but it’s a small spot with not much seating space so it’s not the best place to work or study. I always just get the doughnuts for takeaway. 

They serve fresh breads, coffee, and the most delicious jam or custard-filled doughnuts. These doughnuts are not your typical fried dough with a hole in the middle. They’re the filled with gooey goodness and covered in sugar. They change their flavors and menu daily, but everything we’ve tasted so far as been great. We’ve tried their chocolate hazelnut knots (like a cinnamon roll, but so much better because it’s like nutella bread), artichoke goat-cheese focaccia (perfectly cooked artichoke with goat-cheese that wasn’t too strong), plum walnut ricotta focaccia (very good, but a little oily), coffee custard doughnut (YUM.), and cardamom custard doughnut (SO GOOD). The dough is light and they’re not too sweet. I already can’t wait to try their hot cross buns and other donut flavors. 

In my opinion, the prices are a little high for such a “small” doughnut, but I guess you’re paying for the better, high quality ingredients. I’m not exactly sure how much each item is...but it’s around £2.50-3.00 per item. If you get two items, it’s already £5+, not including coffee. 

P.S. Do not judge me for spelling donuts as “doughnuts.” That’s how they spell it here. 

Insider Tip: Get there early. You never know when they’re going to run out. 

Twelve Triangles 90 Brunswick St, Edinburgh Hours: Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 10am-5pm
