Always Sunday
170 High Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QS
Amid the tourist traps of the Royal Mile, there are a few places where the locals really like to go. Always Sunday is one of them. A bustling café, it offers a wide range of breakfast choices and freshly-prepared lunches that are both practical and feel…
Arts Café
City Art Centre, 1 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DE
The Arts Café tries to be all things to all people, and more or less succeeds. For local workers, it's a reasonably-priced haven at lunchtime, both for sit-in and take-away. With tasty home-made soup and a roll coming in at under £2, and a plethora of…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
This West End stalwart has long been popular with those looking for something a bit different. While the city offers more in this vein today, the Bay Tree remains a favourite of vegetarians and vegans (it was once completely meat-free). It draws…
Brooklyn Café
21 Minard Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 2HR
Brooklyn has deeper echoes of New York than simply its name - its front counter, crammed with sweet jars, cakes and miscellaneous items of food, is a familiar sight in any city benefiting from an early 20th century wave of Italian immigration. And then…
Café at the Palace
Palace of Holyrood House, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DX
It's not the first place that springs to mind when choosing where to lunch, but the Café at the Palace is more than a place to satiate the appetites of hungry tourists. Located across the road from the Scottish Parliament and a stone's throw from the…
Café DeLos and Café Soupson
National Museum of Scotland, 2 Chambers Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1JF
One of Edinburgh's most popular attractions, the National Museum of Scotland, has not one but two cafés to offer visitors. If you're looking for something informal and child-friendly, head for Café Soupson at the rear of the building. There you'll find…
Café Grande
184 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DF
This café, bistro and bar has been bringing a touch of ooh-la-la to Bruntsfield for more than two decades. Although the French café-style wooden tables and chairs are now a little rickety, it is showing no sign of becoming any less popular with locals…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
Even cold and blustery days yield to the warm welcome awaiting all and sundry inside Café Marina. Like the best sort of Italian hostess, owner Marina Crolla (of the Valvona & Crolla family) wants to make even a simple lunch special. She proudly offers a…
Café North
North Edinburgh Arts Centre, 15a Pennywell Court, Muirhouse,
Edinburgh,
EH4 4TZ
If Café North was in the centre of Edinburgh, you would be fighting to get a table. So perfect is it for family lunches, every toddler in town would treat it like a second home. In reality, North Edinburgh Arts Centre (NEAC) is a little off the beaten…
Centotre
103 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
So committed are Victor and Carina Contini to creating the fresh, authentic food that is ubiquitous in Italy, they ship the majority of their produce from Milan each week. And not from just any supplier - they make it a point to get to know the…
Coia's Cafe
473 Duke Street, East End,
Glasgow,
G31 1NG
The word 'café' does not begin to encompass the wonders of Coias, starting with the space-age Italian glass and chrome circular ice-cream fridge. It's the first of its kind in Britain, says owner Alfredo Coia, whose family has occupied this Dennistoun…
Dionika
3-6 Canonmills Bridge, Canonmills, Inverleith,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LF
A shabby façade and distinct lack of adornments might put some diners off Dionika restaurant and deli, but if you're after substance rather than style, you'll discover that what this rough diamond lacks in fancy trappings, it makes up for in taste.
Dolce e Salato
101/102 Dalry Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2AX
Goethe once said that a man who has seen Naples can never be sad. Dolce e Salato, Rosario and Maria Sartore's new Pasticceria e Rosticceria in Dalry, transports each of its visitors to a very happy corner of Naples and invites them to linger over a…
The Elephant House
21 George IV Bridge, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EN
Located handily for shopping, working or studying, the Elephant House is an institution. It's something between an unofficial Edinburgh University student cafeteria and a tourist attraction in its own right, as JK Rowling is reputed to have written some…
Elephants & Bagels
37 Marshall Street (Nicolson Square), Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BJ
The name pretty much says it all. At the specialist bagel wings of Edinburgh's beloved Elephant House empire, the menu revolves around those chewy, ring-shaped rolls that are both healthy and filling. The décor, meanwhile, revolves around those loveable…
The Engine Shed Cafe
19 St Leonard's Lane, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9SD
In 1989, a disused shed from the Innocents Railway was turned into what is now the Garvald-run Engine Shed - a spacious, airy building with a friendly, community atmosphere, home to a number of initiatives that provide training and work for adults with…
The Fruitmarket Gallery Café
Fruitmarket Gallery, 45 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DF
The exhibitions that grace the Fruitmarket Gallery walls suggest a desire to push boundaries, and the chefs in the café kitchen seem to have similar ambitions. The menu, which changes to reflect the season and its produce, is put together with creative…
Gallery Café
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, 75 Belford Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DR
Despite being slightly off the beaten track, the Gallery Café is a constant hive of activity. For many, the café is attraction enough - the modern art which surrounds it merely an added bonus. Midweek, you'll find friends chatting over a healthy lunch…
S Luca
16 Morningside Road, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DB
It may be hard, but try not to be waylaid by the sweetie emporium that greets you on first entering S Luca. This is kiddie heaven and it's hard to imagine anyone, even the adults, getting past the selection of chocolates, ice-cream, sorbets and other…
The Manna House
22-24 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5RG
'Yummy' doesn't begin to do justice to the amazing food on offer at this beloved little bakery/café. Nestled among the less auspicious takeaways and boozers of Easter Road is a haven of culinary perfection. Owned by Martin Wilson, Andrew Massey and…
Miss Cranston's Tearooms
33 Gordon Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 4PF
This genuine institution exudes pride and care, from the attentive, pleasant staff to the pristine tableware or the neat presentation of anything from a panini to a Scottish Aberdeen Angus steak burger. It's a sibling of Bradfords the baker, so one…
Reds
254 High Street, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2AT
Whether you're dodging the three-wheeled pushchairs on the promenade or overhearing the shrieks from the swimming baths, it's clear that Portobello is a family-friendly suburb. Where more appropriate, then, to see one of Edinburgh's first…
Salvo Caffè Restaurant
4 Earl Grey Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BN
Located on a busy throroughfare and in the less than salubrious area of Tollcross, it would be easy to miss Café Salvo. It would also be a shame. After you've braved the inauspicious entrance, the interior is welcomingly cute. Top to bottom, the walls…
Spoon
15 Blackfriars Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1NB
Although the name may evoke an image of artery-clogging 'greasy spoons', Spoon is anything but. Serving fresh, taste bud-friendly meals for the past five years, owners Richard Alexander and Moira McFarlane create top-quality dishes from great…
The Storytelling Café
Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43 High Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SR
Situated in the revamped Scottish Storytelling Centre, this well-appointed café holds more than a few surprises. The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere belies the mastery at work on the menu. The headings may say salad and sandwiches, but the food on…
