Blue Moon Café
36 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SB
It's hard to believe, but Broughton Street's Blue Moon Café, located in the heart of Edinburgh’s gay scene, has been a lively social hub for over 30 years. A few things have altered over time. The Broughton Street wing is now a separate diner…
Grand Cru
79 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EE
Theatrically chic, Grand Cru is an energising venue for an upbeat evening meal. Though the large bar is devoted to drinkers, a separate dining area is juxtaposed comfortably enough to give you some space to enjoy your food. For a less noisy seat…
The Scottish Café and Restaurant
Scottish National Gallery, The Mound,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EL
Since taking over the restaurant in the Scottish National Gallery in 2009, Carina and Victor Contini have set about putting their special stamp on the place. As at sister restaurant Centotre, provenance and quality ingredients are of utmost importance.
Spoon Café Bistro
6a Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
Spoon sprawls like a loft apartment, fancifully furnished and decorated in a joyful jamboree of kitsch. Divided by screens into rambling room sets, students slouch over soup or tea, in easy conjecture over tutorial topics. In another corner a child is…
Angels With Bagpipes
343 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PW
The Royal Mile has a new charmer in residence. Sleek, modern, understated and calming, Angels with Bagpipes encapsulates many of the characteristics of its owner Marina Crolla, making you feel immediately welcome and at ease. Like Marina, this place is…
Centotre
103 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
Like sister establishment The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant, Centotre promises to serve only ‘happy food’, their term for food made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. True to their word, Victor and Carina Contini work with a large band of…
The Treehouse
44 Leven Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LJ
There can be few better-sited spots than this for a café in Edinburgh. A bright and airy corner premises which catches the sun nicely, it has no need of any outdoor seating when the Meadows are just across the road. A collection of students and locals…
Kilimanjaro Coffee
104 Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9EJ
Bang in the middle of studentville, Kilimanjaro has a laid-back vibe, conducive to whiling away an afternoon reading and nattering or making a start on that essay. The chunky tables, worn wooden chairs and leather sofas are comfy and inviting and the…
Urban Angel
121 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
Despite being a growing empire itself with a recently opened juice bar on Broughton Street, Urban Angel eschews multinational brands in favour of local, organic and fairly traded produce. The Hanover Street branch is a warren of basement rooms with…
Café Modern Two
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Two, 73 Belford Road,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DS
Housed within the former orphanage that is the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Two (formerly the Dean Gallery), this is the smarter cousin of the counter-service café at Modern One across the road. The café has recently expanded into two rooms…
