Ever since Lar wrote about Falko Konditormeister last November, I couldn’t wait to try it out. I was heart-broken when I was in Edinburgh last December and learned that Falko was closed the whole week I was in town for the holidays. Not to worry! When I returned to Edinburgh in August, Falko was open and in full swing.

I’m so jealous that Matt and Lar live within a one minute walk of this place. It’s the type of place where you could spend all day reading newspapers, sipping your coffee, and munching on buttery pastries while people watching.
I ordered this raspberry tart that tasted like a giant linzer cookie and it was as delicious as it looks. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it.
Does this post make you want to start your Monday with a trip to your local bakery/pastry/doughnut shop? I live within walking distance of this place and I’m VERY tempted.
P.S.: Atlantans, make sure to check back tomorrow for a giveaway contest we’re having. It might or might not have something to do with this.

Dearest Lar,
I’m so excited that you’re finally back from Greece! You must be exhausted – and beautifully tan. I know you’re probably slammed with work today, but I can’t wait to see all the gorgeous photos you’re going to post on here.
What was the first thing you did when you got home? Wrap yourself up in a blanket? Since I’m sure Edinburgh is at least 20 degrees colder than Greece. Take a shower? Since you had to shower with zero water pressure for the last week and a half. Jump into bed? Since you got in so late.
Maybe we’ll get a chance to Skype today. Oh, I hope so!
Love, Cath
now i’m hungry.thanks a lot! 😛
Any time! 😉
Awww I love that pic of you at the top (that I took hehehe) — you look so happy and it reminds me of you being here with ME!
Falkoooo nommmmm. I am so tempted to go there right now if my coffers weren’t so low from Greece (and greek salads do not a german pastry make).
I DID take a shower and jump around for joy (quietly because it was 2 am) last night when we got back from the airport. I will show you beautiful pics of Hydra soon — and why even with the terrible water pressure, it was a beautiful place!
Can’t wait to SEE you on skype!!!
xoxoxoxoxo,
Lar
I’m just so sorry it’s so bloody cold in Edinburgh! Your only summer week was the week I was there. I think that’s just a sign that I need to come visit more often 😉
Seriously can’t wait to see more pics. I showed all your FB pics to everyone at work already!
xoxo, cath
Oh that pastry looks so delish!!
It was so delish! I had it with herbal tea, which somehow seemed more decadent than coffee at the time.
