Disappointing - Edit
I visited the Sly Fox 3 times and although I really wanted to like it, the food is really amateur. Their burger is good but overpriced: the kimchi is a nice touch, but I wished they used better fries (the ones they use are cheap frozen ones). Apart from this, everything else was sad. Their cake was soooo dry, the coffee was undrinkable (it even had coffee grounds in!), and their french toast tasted too much of turmeric and not much of anything else. It's so confusing too because there are so many amazing vegan french toast recipes online, and it's as if they've chosen the worst one to add to their menu.

Something different - Edit
Great to try something a bit out of the ordinary and eat a vegan Czech meal. I had the stuffed potato pancake, super tasty and very filling - it’s not often that I can’t finish a meal!

AMAZING - Edit
They are so friendly, the food is great, and I got to try some vegan versions of foods that are especially difficult to make vegan. Faux Gras was so well-done I was shocked. Beautiful too!
Read morePros: great staff and service, affordable prices!, faux gras is perfect, food was so well-plated!
Cons: Goulash isn’t perfect

Great food with some different options - Edit
Really nice food and not the same old stuff that so many vegan places do...no Beyond Burgers or Moving Mountains anywhere! Instead some way more interesting options, and the two I got to try were fantastic- goulash and the seaweed arancini. Lots more to try so looking forward to a return visit.

Varied menu - Edit
First time visiting the sly fox after trying the arranchini at the vegan market. Ordered the potato pancakes and a toastie. Both very fab although very filling. My friend went for the veggie breakfast. We also tried the rose latte which was great. Will return if in the area again. The decor was also lovely and the service was great.

The perfect café - Edit
I absolutely love this place! My other half is Czech (and vegan like me), so we were delighted to discover this Czech vegan café in Edinburgh. The food is utterly delicious and always very well seasoned. I am also a big fan of the decor (posters of famous Czech women). All in all, I would say this is probably my new favourite place in the whole city. I recently moved away from Scotland, but I will definitely be back when I am in Edinburgh again.

Deliciously different - Edit
If you’re tired of the same vegan menu options then this place is perfect! The dishes are influenced by Czech cuisine, they have the best selection of drink options from the fridge and also raw desserts from Rawsmary. My favourite cafe in leith!

5/5 top notch - Edit
Highly recommend !! Lovely little spot near the shore, friendly happy atmosphere created by the very attentive and helpful staff! Veggie breakfast was a real winner, loved the potato pancake addition, and I had a slice of the raw cake which was scrumptious without being too filling- the perfect breakfast cake 🤣 coffee was lovely and the tea too, definitely the top veggie breakfast I’ve had since moving to Edinburgh, I’m very pleased to be local! And also dog friendly!! #Veganuary

Lovely spot - Edit
Visited for family Sunday breakfast. The menu is fantastic and we struggled to choose, ending up with 3 full brekkies, pancakes and French toast. Some vit d shots woke us up and the coffee was lovely. High point was the lovely pots of tea which stayed piping hot and were such good value. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our food, beautifully cooked and the portion size was spot on. A lovely relaxed vibe and kind service, we will definitely return next time we are in Edinburgh.
