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…
Black Medicine Coffee Company
2 Nicolson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
The area near Edinburgh University's Southside campus is certainly not short of sandwich and coffee bars in which to grab a bite between classes. It proves a little harder, however, to find fresh, quality ingredients and a knowledge of how to combine…
Black Medicine Coffee Company
108 Marchmont Road, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1BG
The area near Edinburgh University's Southside campus is certainly not short of sandwich and coffee bars in which to grab a bite between classes. It proves a little harder, however, to find fresh, quality ingredients and a knowledge of how to combine…
Blue Moon Cafe
36 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SB
There's more to this gay hangout, which has been happily ensconced on bohemian Broughton Street since 1986, than meets the eye. Facing the street itself is a light, airy café - the sort of place you could (and many do) relax and read the papers for an…
Brazilian Sensation
117-119 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
Brazilian Sensation may be of modest size with a laid-back café ambience, but it's a place of unique culinary delights. The lunch menu features a wide selection of hot snacks, organic rolls and baguettes at bargain prices, as well as some invigorating…
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 Camino
St Mary's Cathedral, York Place, East End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JD
Pick your moment at Café Camino and you could find your coffee and sandwich accompanied by the solemn, yet uplifting, tones of a Catholic Mass being sung next door. This is the St Mary's Cathedral café and, since 2005, it has been doing excellent…
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 Lucia
Festival Theatre, 13-29 Nicolson Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9FT
With its giant windows facing out onto Nicolson Street, Café Lucia is a great place to people watch. Or you can turn your back on the world and find out what's coming up at the Festival Theatre courtesy of the large, but silent, TV screen. Situated on…
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…
Cafe Mediterraneo
73 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
Bang in the middle of bustling Broughton Street, this perky, seemingly small café actually seats up to 40 diners. The neat front room and bigger room at the back are simply decorated with wooden tables and cheerful sky-blue walls. The pleasant décor and…
Café Newton
Dean Gallery, 73 Belford Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DS
Unlike its sister cafés at the Modern Art and Portrait Galleries, the Dean Gallery café offers table service. Dining here is a rather more sophisticated affair than at the other galleries, with dark wooden walls, mirrors and high-backed Mackintosh-style…
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…
Café Renroc
91 Montgomery Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HZ
In the year since it opened, Renroc has quickly established itself as a reliable and busy neighbourhood café - so much so that enthusiastic owners Billy and Jane Ross have implemented a rapid and ambitious extension programme, due for completion early…
Café Truva
77 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RG
In a quiet corner of the Shore, right at the end of the Water of Leith, sits Café Truva, offering a tempting taste of the Mediterranean. With its regular local clientele and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, this place has found a winning formula and is…
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…
Chai Adventures in Tea
3a Merchant Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QD
Nestled between the brash hedonism of the Cowgate and the surrounding tourist traps lies a little slice of heaven. Opened in 2006, Chai is primarily a teahouse, featuring a staggering range of teas from around the world. For solid sustenance it offers…
circle
1 Brandon Terrace, Canonmills,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AE
There's no doubting the solidity of the circle experience. From the moment you walk in it surrounds you - walls hewn from stone, polished flags beneath your feet. It's a long, thin space with high ceilings and a tall window at the end that makes a…
Circus Express Sandwich Bar
62 North Castle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3LU
Nestling up against the Circus Bar and Grill on North Castle Street is this bright, yet spartan, sandwich bar managed by the same company that runs the restaurant next door. It is more of a takeaway than a café, but there are high stools lined up…
Cornerstone Café
St John's Church, 3 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4BJ
Having a reputation can be a bittersweet thing. Some rest on laurels while others strive to change public perceptions. There has been a café in the space underneath St John's church for as long as anyone can remember and its reputation of being a…
