    This was our second visit to the Cafe Ste. Honore. I can say that our excellent first experience was repeated and actually exceeded. This is a tribute to the team. I had the three course cafe special. The kipper as an appetizer was sublime. One of our party had the beef bourguignon - it was so rich and delicious! If you’re in Edinburgh, don’t leave town without trying the Cafe Ste Honore.
