The Water of Leith is a great bistro style cafe which has gained a huge local following and become one of the most popular eateries in the Cannonmills area. The cafe has a relaxed and extremely welcoming ambiance and the French style food is both delectable and reasonably priced. Great Cullen Skink sits happily alongside French classics such as Croque Madame and the specials board is always brimming with tempting treats. However, the real stars are the cakes and scones which are seriously delicious and generously proportioned. There is a small play area with plenty of toys for the little ones and good changing facilities for babies.
