If they were The Edinburgh Larder Café would be the poster girl/boy.

As with The Edinburgh Larder Café food would be mostly seasonal and local because that is what is best for the planet, best for us and what tastes good too.

At this Blackfriars Street café just off North Bridge, the menu concentrates on doing breakfast brunch and lunch really well.

Sandwiches comprise fillings such as seasonal vegetables, Crombie's sausages, smoked salmon and free-range chicken whilst breakfast champions produce like cooked-to-order porridge, lAyrshire bacon and Scottish honey.

There are three staples that the Larder excels at - bacon butties, fruit scones (enormous and served with homemade jam and clotted cream) and gluten-free (but you would never know) dark chocolate brownies.

Forage & Chatter serves the sort of food that's best appreciated in silence, says Gaby Soutar Well, it’s because many of our ingredients are…” “Yes, and we want people to relax and feel free to…” You know when you ask a stupid question about a restaurant’s name, when it’s very self explanatory?

Our imaginative starters, chosen from the à la carte menu (though there’s also a two course lunch deal for £14.95, three for £17.95), also required a bit of meditative concentration.

She’d gone for the veggie option of mushroom carpaccio (£8.50), which featured fat beefy slabs of white mushroom flesh, a cushion of mushroom purée, three breadcrumbed bollards of goat’s cheese, sorrel leaves, a mushy purée and a mushy powder.

My main of monkfish (£17.50) was only slightly warmer than my starter, though it was still good comfort eating for those who like sweet savouries, with draught excluder sized chunks of spiced fish, a squash purée, toasted seeds and a bay-infused melted butter moat.

Claire went for pearl barley (£15) – a creamy risotto with chives and nanoparticle-sized bits of veg, plus cubes of roasted celeriac, kale, more blobs of the balsamic-y onion purée and slippery onion bits.

Fry ups in Edinburgh are in plentiful supply, but the capital's best cooked breakfasts make them with plenty of love as well as oil, as Ray Philp finds A truism: hangovers are unpleasant.

No longer the preserve of the greasy spoon, fry ups are a staple of most breakfast menus in town.

Royal Mile Backpackers, 105 High Street, EH1 1QS, 0131 225 7064 The Royal McGregor, on the city’s Royal Mile, has a breakfast menu that could satisfy the finnickiest, selfie stick-jousting tourist.

Their breakfast menu has something for everyone – croissants, fruit salad with almonds, and porridge – and their fry up option has a contemporary, but controversial twist: the traditional tattie scone makes way for chips.

The upgraded breakfast includes: sausage, bacon, egg, black pudding, haggis, tattie scone, tomato, mushrooms, beans and fried tatties – as comprehensive a fry up as you could imagine.

Restaurant review: Edinburgh Larder Bistro, Alva St, Edinburgh ...

A Stornoway black pudding duck egg (£5.75) had been a bit like blunderbuss grapeshot the last time we’d had it.

Our other starter – a patty of brown crab (£5.95) – was ozoney, topped with struts of fennel, ringpull-sized pieces of red-skinned apple, cucumber, sprigs of dill and sweet cicely.

Its accompaniments of braised peas, soft lettuce and pink fir apple potato pieces were fine, but it was slightly bland overall and needed some more seasoning 
or spice.

In this case, he was stewed, with any tartness diffused by mini-meringues, a citrusy gel, whipped cream and a raspberry syrup.

If the Edinburgh Larder Bistro carries on improving at this rate, it’ll be magnificent by the time I turn something-or-other years old.
