With a 4.6-star rating and a neighbourhood-favourite, hole-in-the-wall vibe, Deeney’s is a low-key gem for anyone craving a proper Scottish bite in the city.

The square sausage and egg roll is so good. The sausage is amazing, with a lovely texture, and the morning roll has a nice floured surface. It's a classic Scottish breakfast roll done right.
