In anticipation of more house clearing and DIY today, we decided to head to Craigie’s Farm Deli and Cafe for breakfast. We’d never been before but had past the sign for it hundreds of times when driving to and from Edinburgh. I’d checked their website a couple of weeks ago, and was instantly attracted by the mention of pancakes and maple syrup on the menu!
Because it was such a nice morning we were able to sit outside and enjoy the views across the Forth. And while Andy tucked in to a cooked breakfast which included bacon, sausage, mushrooms and Stornoway Black Pudding, I savoured the delicious pancakes drenched in syrup. We were entitled to a free re-fill of coffee, but the original cups we had were more than enough for us.
I’m sure it won’t be long before we head back to Craigie’s. Unfortunately the pancakes are only on the menu until 11.30am, but there are plenty of other treats to be had, including a great selection of home baking. I think when I’m on maternity leave I’ll probably spend a lot of time there, and most of Andy’s student loan on cakes!

Hi Catherine,
Elizabeth and I should go try the pancakes with syrup before heading to Canada – get some practice in!
Actually, they call the pancakes and maple syrup ‘The Canadian Connection’ on the menu so it would seem the perfect dish to practice with!
