The Gift Tree

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.

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.
