点评:Café Portrait is a real highlight within the Scottish National Portrait Gallery — a relaxed, stylish space with great coffee, fresh food, and a calm atmosphere that makes it an ideal stop during a day of exploring Edinburgh.
I visited on Monday and was surprised by how busy it was, but the staff handled it all with such ease and professionalism. The two blonde girls behind the counter stood out in particular — friendly, upbeat, and totally in control, even with a steady stream of customers. Despite the rush, they kept the atmosphere light and welcoming.
One of them even took a few minutes to chat with me about places to visit outside the city. She spoke warmly about the Scottish Borders and recommended a few spots, including Melrose Abbey — which turned out to be one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I saw on my trip.
It’s rare to find a café where the staff not only serve you well but also go out of their way to make you feel welcome and help enhance your overall travel experience. That extra care really made an impression. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in Edinburgh.
翻译:Café Portrait咖啡馆是苏格兰国家肖像馆的一大亮点——这里轻松时尚,咖啡美味,食物新鲜,氛围宁静,是爱丁堡一日游的理想去处。
我周一去了那里,店里人潮拥挤,这让我感到有些意外,但工作人员们却非常专业,处理得井井有条。柜台后面的两位金发姑娘尤其引人注目——友好、乐观,即使在客流不断的情况下也能掌控全局。尽管人潮拥挤,她们仍然保持着轻松友好的氛围。
其中一位姑娘甚至花了几分钟时间跟我聊了聊城外的景点。她热情地谈论着苏格兰边境,并推荐了一些景点,包括梅尔罗斯修道院——结果发现,梅尔罗斯修道院是我旅途中看到的最美丽、最宁静的地方之一。
很少有咖啡馆的员工不仅服务周到,还会竭尽全力让你感到宾至如归,提升你的整体旅行体验。这种额外的关怀真的给我留下了深刻的印象。下次我去爱丁堡时一定会再来的。
