What people say about Breakfast at Contini George Street

Loving breakfast!

Visited for breakfast this morning without a booking and thankfully unlike the Scottish cafe approach we were seated at a lovely table in the heart of the restaurant. A warm welcome from Adam who very helpfully source a favourite drink which wasn’t on the menu. Food was wonderfully fresh, tasty and very sizeable portions. Thanks to such a great team!

I have to recommend this restaurant for morning breakfasts

I have to recommend this restaurant for morning breakfasts. The Italian restaurant is quite stylish inside and has lots of space to if you have a lot of people to go for food with. The breakfasts themselves have a wide choice, with the traditional Scottish breakfasts being fantastic. It also serves alcohol early so if you want cocktails at 10 this is a fantastic place to come. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
