The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.

Tucked just off the Royal Mile, Eleanor Cunningham’s café features a menu that's a roll call of Scottish food heroes. From Creelers’ smoked salmon to Great Glen venison, Rannoch smoked chicken and Cunningham's mum’s jam and dad’s chutneys, everything has been handpicked for meticulously high standards and consistent deliciousness. Seasonally-changing fillings in the Au Gourmand artisan bread make for difficult sandwich choices year-round, and the salads, deli plates and daily changing specials will only add to the dilemma. Luckily, everything you can’t fit into lunch is available to buy from the counter, and on Saturdays that includes the much sought-after bread. Of the daily-baked sweets look out for gluten-free brownies or a rich dark chocolate slice studded with ginger, apricots and nuts as well as beautiful locally handmade chocolates. Drinks are equally well-considered and include eteaket tea and artisan roast coffee, and, apart from the wine, the modest selection of alcohol is exclusively Scottish.

High point: Almost everything made on site with peerless ingredients
Low point: There’s often a wait at lunchtime to be served

'The best of Scottish produce prepared for you in the heart of Edinburgh'

The Edinburgh Larder is a deli and licensed cafe on Blackfriars Street - just off the Royal Mile. Specialising in a wide range of Scottish produce, the Larder team have scoured the country for the best ingredients possible. The lunch menu consists of a number of homemade treats and is supported by a sandwich menu with a difference. There is always a seasonal quiche, tart or frittata on offer as well as homemade chicken liver or smoked salmon pate. The veg plate includes homemade hummus and sundried tomato tapenade as well as house roasted peppers. There are also deli plates so you can sample the delicious Scottish smoked meats, salami and lovely cheeses in the deli counter. A tantalising range of cakes are on offer too for those with a sweet tooth as well as scones served with Scottish clotted cream and jam from Galloway in Dumfries.

In the drinks department, Scottish beers are offered from two breweries local to Edinburgh (Stewarts and Tryst) which are sure to cater to all beer lovers tastes. Coffee is from Artisan Roast and tea from Eteaket. There is also Cuddybridge apple juice from Peebles as well as freshly blended smoothies. Homemade chutney and jam line the shelves along with a small selection of deli products to take away.

The LIST Card is a dining scheme that gives you promotional two-for-one offers at a range of restaurants in Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond. Find out more.
