Great cafe - Edit
I’ve been to The Sky Fox on numerous occasions, and it’s never let me down. With a creative menu blending Scottish and Eastern European flavours, plus the warm and welcoming atmosphere, it’s always worth a visit.

Highly recommend for anyone seeking delicious vegan food served with heart.

Favourite cafe in Edinburgh - Edit
I thank my lucky stars on a near-weekly (and sometimes more frequent!) basis that Sly Fox is my local spot for lunch/brunch/coffee. Because it’s honestly my favourite — so much love and thought goes into every single item on their menu and the flavours and combos are second to none! Most dishes are expertly paired with delicious fermented/pickled sides. I’ve eaten a fair few different dishes there over the past couple of years and they never disappoint.
Read moreReal highlights for me are the potato pancakes and the mushroom bruschetta, as well as the specialty hot drinks (the lavender chai was unexpectedly good!) and the cakes. Very nice to see somewhere making a range of vegan sweet things including raw cakes — they absolutely nail them all! Very wholesome, very delicious. Long live Sly Fox!

Delicious! - Edit
I'm visiting Edinburgh and I came here with my Omni friend. I had a filled croissant and my friend had the soup and tempeh sandwich. Both were delicious! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful. The croissant in particular was crispy and well baked. A must visit if you're in Edinburgh for a delicious lunch.
Read moreThe jam tart was really tasty too although the crust/ pastry element had a strange texture but this wouldn't put me off getting it again.

Exciting and new! - Edit
A must-try experience for your trip to Edinburgh. Here and Black Rabbit are the two most innovative vegan restaurants in all of Edinburgh! Loved the take on Czech classics and the venue was warm, beautiful and exactly what we needed on a rainy Edinburgh day. The highlight was definitely the potato pancakes, I can’t remember what they were called but they were absolutely amazing. Big shoutouts to the French toast, the quesadilla and the veggie breakfast.

Good food and service - Edit
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.
Read moreThe 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

Perfect brunch spot - Edit
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 ✨️ - Edit
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 💕

Hidden gem! - Edit
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!!

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.

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! - Edit
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
