A true Edinburgh institution for over 30 years, this spot offers a more refined but still authentic 'caff' experience. The Lorne sausage is noted for its high meat content and perfect sear, served in a retro mid-century diner setting.
For those who want a 'gourmet' Lorne experience, Roseleaf uses locally sourced, premium butcher-quality square sausage. The vibe is unmatched, featuring eclectic decor and a 'Mad Hatter's' tea party atmosphere.
Operating for over 100 years, this is the definition of a local secret. It offers incredible value with its 'Hungry Tummy' deal, where the Lorne sausage is praised for its traditional, non-greasy texture.
Highlighted by food experts for making their Lorne sausages freshly on the premises. Reviewers note they are succulent and satisfying without the over-salting common in mass-produced versions.
