What Keith Thomas dislikes about Alplings:
Offers some different food in Leith, what’s not to like? Casual setting with its own character, nice relaxing staff, I had alpine dumplings which could be too stodgy on their own but the dressing, horseradish and pickled cabbage with cumin lifted them up, went well with refreshing kombucha. Wholesome but perhaps not to my taste, still glad I ate. Intriguing to see what other dishes taste like. View all feedback.

The food was fantastic, and it’s a wonderful place to sit and unwind. The dumplings were generously filled and absolutely delicious, while the apple strudel was huge. The coffee I enjoyed was exceptional as well. I’ll definitely return and highly recommend this place to everyone!
