Brass & Copper Coffee
18 William Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7NH
Given the West End’s upmarket reputation and affluent surroundings, it always seemed an oversight that you couldn’t get a really good cup of coffee anywhere. Thanks to Brass and Copper, ladies who lunch can now latte too. Neat and understated, with…
Boobytrap Boutique
15 William Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7NG
Fantastically-named lingerie specialist, stocking cool, hard-to-find scanty labels like Princess Tam Tam. There's a bit of a Sex and the City vibe about the place, with cupcakes and freshly-brewed coffee in the in-store café to up your indulgency quota.
The Chocolate Tree
123 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4EQ
There is a definite hippy vibe here with the mismatched furniture, bare wood and colourful, handmade signs. This is the good side of hippydom, though, with a dedication to the local community that has seen them resist the temptation to move to bigger…
Le Bistrot de l'Institut francais d'Ecosse
13 Randolph Crescent,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7TT
Tasked with promoting French language and culture here in Scotland, it's no real surprise to discover that the active Institut français d’Ecosse are to re-open their very own café-bistro. Due to open in late spring 2012, Frederic Berkmiller of…
The Water of Leith Café Bistro
52 Coburg Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6HJ
Set on a sunny corner beside the water of Leith this bright little café-bistro draws locals, families and couples alike with its quality food and friendly ambience. A printed menu covers the basics but the blackboard is the main show here, presenting a…
Artisan Roast
138 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4ER
As the roasters and distributors of Scotland’s definitive coffee, it’s impossible to see beyond either branch of Artisan Roast as your first stop for a pick-me-up coffee buzz at any time of the day. Long black, flat white, espresso, macchiato or ice…
Reds
254 Portobello High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2AT
The sign reading ‘Six buggy limit’ says it all. If you live in Portobello and have small children, chances are you’ll know Reds and its large, soft cage – sorry, play frame – in the back room, where your offspring can slide and scamper while you eat or…
Café Milk
232 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8EA
Sporting bright white tiles, pale pastel colours and reclaimed benches, Café Milk could easily have been plucked straight from the streets of trendy Shoreditch (although thankfully there's not a hipster in sight). But, while the interior decoration…
Porto Café
25–25A Promenade, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1HH
Portobello Promenade has a faded seaside charm that’s equally appealing for eating chips from a wrapper in the sun or watching rain stream down a window in grey winter light. With its traditional bay frontage looking out over the sea and now opening all…
Patisserie Madeleine
27b Raeburn Place,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HU
That Arnaud Djavanshir can produce anything but a cheese toastie from his minuscule kitchen is impressive. That he can turn out cakes and macarons as elaborate and consistently sublime as he does is miraculous. After just a four-day training course at…
Café Grande
184 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DF
Café Grande has sat among Bruntsfield’s mish-mash of ever-changing shops for a good while now, and it seems well pitched for the market that surrounds it. Decked out in classic French bistro red, the walls are a cacophony of old prints, chalkboards and…
Maxi's
33 Raeburn Place,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HX
Enjoying an airy, double-fronted location on Stockbridge's bustling main thoroughfare, Maxi's is a popular pitstop for almost-all-day (until 3pm) breakfasts, filling sandwiches and hearty but healthy lunches. Vegetarians are well catered for with a…
Henri of Edinburgh
48 Raeburn Place, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HL
French deli Henri is well established in Morningside, but 2012 brings a new dimension with the opening of a much more spacious wine bar and café in Stockbridge. The deli counter still sells an impressive range of cheeses, charcuterie and dried goods…
La Barantine
202 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DF
This French café is easily filled with a handful of mix and match tables and chairs. Throw in a crowd of people and it is only a dose of Gallic bonhomie that keeps things cosy rather than cramped. Fortunately this is provided in the short menu where…
Project Coffee
196 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DF
Bruntsfield doesn't suffer from a lack of sociable coffee venues, but that hasn't deterred relative newcomer Project Coffee. Like sister businesses Kilimanjaro, Press and Wellington Coffee, they use beans from small artisanal roasters to make their…
The Beach House
57 Bath Street,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1HE
Perfect for a warming hot chocolate in winter or a luscious ice-cream on our too-rare summer days, the Beach House manages to straddle the seasons and maximise its beachfront location at any time of year. Painted in pastel blue and dotted with seaside…
Le Marché Français
9a West Maitland Street,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DS
From the outside Le Marché Français looks like just another of the flurry of delis that have sprung up around Edinburgh lately. But delve beyond the cold cuts and cheese counter, past the wines and assorted French goodies and you arrive in a modest…
Falko (Konditormeister)
185 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DG
A firm fixture on Edinburgh’s foodie scene Falko continues to deliver goods be it rye breads, pastries or some of the finest, traditional cakes outside of central Europe. Produced to strict standards, no raising agents are used in the cakes, only beaten…
S Luca of Musselburgh
16 Morningside Road,
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…
Terrace Café
Royal Botanic Garden, Inverleith Row,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LR
Location, as they say, is everything and it's true that the Terrace Café's position near the Botanics' top lawn, with its stunning views of Edinburgh's iconic skyline, is hard to beat. It's a shame that the food – a self-service selection of pre-made…
Rocket Café
41 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DR
True to its name, this neighbourhood café is both fresh and lively and energetically going places. Not the largest of venues, it nevertheless manages to cram in an awful lot of roles – breakfast pit stop, takeaway lunch local, afternoon tea…
Loopy Lorna's Tea House @ Churchill Theatre
Churchill Theatre, 33a Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DR
Loopy Lorna’s Tea House is a popular Morningside haunt, with the only branch now located in the Churchill Theatre. Tea and cake is definitely the overriding theme with teapots everywhere, a special tea menu compiled by a master tea blender, quirky tea…
The Gateway Restaurant
John Hope Gateway Centre, Royal Botanic Garden, Arboretum Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LR
Although lacking the panoramic views of its sister venue, the Terrace Café, the restaurant in the Botanics’ gleaming new John Hope Gateway enjoys a pleasant outlook over the Biodiversity Garden, especially from the lovely al fresco tables on its…
Cucina LC
68 Haymarket Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5LQ
The initials LC come from the owner’s name (Lorena Crolla), but they could just as easily stand for ‘Lotta Choice’ considering the amount of items on the menu here. Including Asian, Italian and Scottish elements, there are almost 40 sandwich…
Café Blush
219 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4QT
Morningside Road is not short of cappuccino options, but this dusky-pink painted café stands out, not just because of its adventurous coloured exterior but also its warm, friendly table service, easy-to-read simple menu and neighbourhood feel with local…
The Haven
9 Anchorfield,
Edinburgh,
EH6 4JG
Between Leith's gentrified Shore area and Newhaven Harbour lies an unremarkable industrial stretch dominated by Chancelot Mill. This unlikely setting hasn’t put off café newcomer Natalie Kwek one bit, however, and it’s here that she’s created a lovely…
The Zulu Lounge
366 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4QN
The small, stripy frontage may be striking but it still hides quite how much is on offer within this South African café. There are dozens of options available among both food and drink yet somehow quality is never compromised. Muffins and scones are…
Café Modern Two
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Two, 73 Belford Road,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DS
Café Modern Two (formerly Café Newton at the Dean Gallery) would be a fairly understated setting, with dark wood panellling and simple furnishings, if it weren’t for Eduardo Paolozzi’s impressive steel creation ‘Vulcan’ towering over everything in…
Dalriada
77 Promenade, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2EL
Situated in an imposing building at the Joppa end of the Portobello Promenade, Dalriada is a fantastic bar-cum-café that's just perfect for an afternoon coffee and cake while you watch the waves roll in, or an evening drink as the sun sets over the…
Connect Café
153–155 Comely Bank Road,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1BQ
TV foodie Nell Nelson has a track record of seeking out passionate local producers and unearthing quality produce. In early 2011, Nelson and her business partner took over Connect Café in Comely Bank to bring this approach to the capital. Also a card…
Café Modern One
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art One, 75 Belford Road,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DR
Located on the lower floor of the Gallery of Modern Art One, Café Modern One is canteen style dining that attracts regulars meeting for lunch (with or without taking in the art) and gallery visitors grabbing a quick bite. The menu offers, baked…
Porto & Fi
47 Newhaven Main Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 4NQ
Open views across the Firth of Forth make this bright, modern café-bistro the ideal place to admire Edinburgh’s stunning seascape. Indeed, a love of this setting is evident in everything from the artist paintings on display to the owners' sourcing of…
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…
Craigie's Farm Shop and Deli
West Craigie Farm,
South Queensferry,
EH30 9TR
Overlooking Craigie’s strawberry fields and vegetable patches, with stunning views of the Pentlands in the distance, this bustling farm café allows the locals, city dwellers and cyclists who frequent it the chance to sample some of the delights from…
EICA Café
Edinburgh International Climbing Arena (EICA), Ratho, South Platt Hill, Newbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH28 8AA
Set in the middle of the remarkable EICA indoor climbling arena, the café operated by Heritage Portfolio (the team behind the cafés at the Modern Art and Portrait galleries in Edinburgh) boasts a pretty remarkable view, with grandstand seats for the…
The Stables Tearoom
Hopetoun House,
South Queensferry,
City of Edinburgh,
EH30 9SL
Hopetoun House is one of the country's grandest stately homes, so even a visit to the stables – designed by William Adam for a dozen prize hunters – is no hardship. In the large, flag-stoned room you'll find linen-covered tables and the chance to…
