Description

Step into Montpeliers on Bruntsfield Place and feel immediately at home—an intimate bistro-bar where well-crafted drinks and bright morning plates meet cosy, candlelit evenings. Montpeliers blends a neighbourhood pub warmth with café finesse: think impeccably pulled pints and coffees, a tempting counter of cakes, and a menu of hearty tartines, pastas and seasonal plates designed for sharing. Friendly service and a lively, welcoming room make it a perfect spot for everything from a slow breakfast to an easy after-work cocktail. Come for the atmosphere, stay for the moments.

Awful rude staff. Service was incredibly slow and dismissive. Food arrived cold. I asked the server politely for sugar for our coffee. He held up his hand to my face telling me he was busy. 10 minutes later I spoke to another server, now requesting a new takeaway coffee and the bill. Explaining I initially just needed sugar. No apology, no explanation. Just repeated half of my request back. You need sugar… eh no I need a new coffee and btw your manners and etiquette stinks! Dirty cutlery that was basically thrown down. Waited 15mins to take our order and no follow up until I complained and asked for bill. They also refused to remove the suggested and optional service fee. Also £60 for porridge, poached eggs, kids pancakes, 2 coffees and a couple slides for my 2 year old is a shocking price! Shame as been a frequent customer over the years. Last time we will be there as plenty of alternatives in bruntsfield.

Guess how much this was? It was 14 pounds. Plus we waited like an hour for it. Still a little speechless

We went to Montpeliers Bruntsfield for dinner and drinks with two friends, and it was an easy 5 stars The atmosphere was warm and lively, perfect for catching up and enjoying the night. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the drinks were just as good—great options and really well made. Service was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot we’d come back to. Highly recommend for a fun dinner and drinks with friends!
