Being linked to a backpackers hostel, you'd expect this place to be a bit shabby round the edges, serving cheap food to hungry tourists you want to spend as little as possible.\n\nYou'd be wrong.\n\nI'd say it's somewhere between a caf\u00e9 and a bistro, as it's licensed to serve alcohol and it's open until around midnight. And the quality's so much higher than you'd expect - both the service and the actual food itself. I went with a friend recently, and we managed to nab ourselves one of the half dozen or so outdoor tables which meant we had prime people-watching range all over Cockburn Street and the adjacent Hunter Square.\n\nWe only had coffees, but the food menu did have some tasty-looking things on it that caught my eye, and I'll be heading back here soon for a spot of lunch to give it a whirl. It's never going to win any awards for offering the best value for money of all the eateries in Edinburgh, but don't let that put you off.
