This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Having functioned in a few temporary guises since the main building’s refurbishment, the City Arts Centre Café is due to re-open in April 2012 following a refit of its own, complete with revamped menu and the welcome addition of new hot and cold counters. Early birds will be able to tuck into a variety of breakfast options, while hot drinks and tempting home-bakes will satisfy gallery visitors looking for light nourishment throughout the day. At lunchtime, expect lots of unfussy, but great-tasting dishes; fresh salads, platters and savoury tarts along with soups, baked potatoes and filled rolls, plus a couple of hot daily specials. Baking will be carried out on site, and an in-house vegetarian chef means that veggies will likely be well-catered for across the board too. The spruced-up space should be in good hands, operated by the same team that currently runs similar ventures at the Fruitmarket Gallery and Scottish Storytelling Centre. It’s their popular café at St Giles Cathedral which this incarnation will probably most resemble though. [Not yet open at time of going to press]
