City Art Centre, 1 Market Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1DE

'Unpretentious' can often sound like an insult to a more insecure establishment, but here less fuss is ultimately more. And given that it is situated beside a huge art gallery, across from Waverley Station and within walking distance of various office…

Café DeLos and Café Soupson

National Museum of Scotland, 2 Chambers Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1JF

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…

91 Montgomery Street, Edinburgh, EH7 5HZ

Walking into Renroc is a warming experience: enthusiasm permeates the place and a friendly welcome is quickly followed by personalised service. The area upstairs is stylish and airy, while the bistro-style basement is warm and sleepily lit, and a real…

Centotre

103 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3ES

With its funky hot-pink walls, edgy uplighting and smooth background jazz, über-cool Centotre dresses to impress, and equally style-conscious diners pack out the place pretty much every night of the week. The downside of this popularity is that smaller…

circle

1 Brandon Terrace, Canonmills, Edinburgh, EH3 5AE

With a grand selection of daily specials, an impressive collection of home-made cakes, tarts and pastries, Au Gourmand breads and efficient service, Canonmills' very own café deserves its loyal local fan club. Once home to the Au Gourmand bakery, this…

Dionika

3–6 Canonmills Bridge, Canonmills, Edinburgh, EH3 5LF

Dionika's welcoming owner and head chef Juan Blanco – who was taught to cook by his large extended family back home in Galicia, an Iberian region just on the Spanish side of the Portuguese border – would take offence if people referred to his restaurant…

27–29 Marshall Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9BJ

There's an appealing openness about Double Dutch. Windows take up the length of two walls, and the blonde wood of the furniture and floor brings a clean, bright feeling to the airy space. A small team works in an open kitchen, churning out…

Drill Hall Arts Café

36 Dalmeny Street, EDINBURGH, EH6 8RG

You can't create on an empty stomach and, at this little kitchen, a stone's throw from Leith Walk, you don't have to. The imposing size of the Drill Hall is dissected by movable screens to create a flexible dining space surrounded by the current art…

The Elephant House

21 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EN

This café – all elephants and Potter – attracts all sorts, including students and tourists who buy the Elephant House baseball caps and take the 'Harry Potter was born here' signals literally. The large, bright room in the back of the café, revered by…

Elephants & Bagels

37 Marshall Street (Nicolson Square), Edinburgh, EH8 9BJ

A stone's throw from Edinburgh Uni, Elephants & Bagels is popular with students seeking brain food, comfort and access to free WiFi. Customer-created felt tip and crayon elephant drawings bedeck the walls, while a tower of carved wooden elephants stands…

The Engine Shed Cafe

The Fruitmarket Gallery Café

Fruitmarket Gallery, 45 Market Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1DF

Many who regularly drop into this contemporary gallery housed in an old Victorian fruit and vegetable market don't make it past the ground floor café, such is the singular draw of the food. With a dedication to fresh produce and menu choices, lunch can…

Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, 75 Belford Road, Edinburgh, EH4 3DR

Just as the galleries upstairs follow trends in contemporary art, the café capitalises on the current inclination towards fair trade, organic and seasonal ingredients, treating diners to a selection of wholesome, appetising and downright tasty meals.

S Luca

16 Morningside Road, Edinburgh, EH10 4DB

S Luca's fame rests on the ice-cream rather than the lunches but at its Morningside café you can have both. Be warned though: the café is tucked away upstairs, and only a determined diner will make it past the array of sweeties, chocolates and ice-cream…

The Manna House

22–24 Easter Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5RG

This place is a treasure trove of glorious sweet treats. Still a relatively undiscovered gem near the top of Easter Road, this little French-style bakery-café surely won't be restricted to east Edinburghers for long; the entire city should be lining up…

73 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3RJ

Pani Solinska is Polish for 'Mrs Solinska'. Dorothy Nowak-Solinska took over Broughton Street landmark Café Mediterraneo last year, but before putting her name above the door in spring 2008 took some time to design a restaurant she could be proud of.

Reds

254 High Street, Edinburgh, EH15 2AT

For parents and toddlers there are many soft play areas with café facilities, but Reds goes one better, as a café with soft play facilities. Being able to eat without constant interruption is a luxury that is so far only available to Portobello parents…

Salvo Caffè Restaurant

4 Earl Grey Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9BN

With the Cameo Cinema just blocks away, Salvo Caffè's Tollcross location is ideal for treating kids to a pre-movie knickerbocker glory or sticky chocolate sundae. The black, white and red themed décor is kitsch and cosy, with Marilyn Monroe the clear…

Spoon

15 Blackfriars Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1NB

Minimalism and quality are the cornerstones of the Spoon philosophy, with white walls and pine tables making the interior bright and spacious. The menu's confident enough to avoid overload, although with each soup, salad, sandwich and hot dish more…

The Storytelling Café

Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SR

Opened in 2006, the Scottish Storytelling Centre is the modern counterpart to the historic John Knox's House, composed of vast glass panels and modern angles. With a view of the Royal Mile's Canongate, the café space is demarcated by tactile, light wood…

Royal Botanic Garden, Inverleith Row, Edinburgh, EH3 5LR

These days, there's an expectation that any credible eating spot in a location such as the Botanic Gardens will share the green credentials of its host. While it isn't quite pulling carrots and salad leaves from a plot outside the kitchen door, there's…

Valvona & Crolla Caffè Bar

19 Elm Row, Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH7 4AA

The Valvona & Crolla imprimatur remains definitive of all things excellent in food and wine, with a renown that draws visitors from far beyond the Edinburgh foodie scene. Behind the narrow shop front at the top of Elm Row, the deli's towering shelves…

Zanzero

15 North West Circus Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6SX
