A sense of welcome and old world charm greeted us as we arrived at Edgar, located in what used to be known as Old Hull. The crowded, tiny café was filling up on this Saturday afternoon so we grabbed the only seats available – at a window counter overlooking the sunny patio.

The handwritten menu on the chalkboard promised a variety of interesting possibilities, but we opted for the Huevos Rancheros, a Mexican scrambled egg mixture served in a toasted tortilla cup.

The dish was bursting with flavour, spicy without being overpowering and with just enough kick to make it interesting.

We couldn’t resist the array of desserts displayed on the counter and took home a selection of treats to enjoy throughout the week: the famous Edgar bar, an apple pecan muffin, a coconut macaroon and a decadent orange-flavoured chocolate cupcake. All were impeccable.

Although it has only been operating for a few months, Edgar is already a success story. It is definitely on my list of places to return to – often.
