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…
Bonsai
46 West Richmond Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
Although hidden in a side street in something of a Southside dining no man's land, this little restaurant does a roaring trade from lunchtime till late. Bonsai's owners, Andrew and Noriko Ramage, offer a wide range of authentic Japanese dishes at very…
Browns Restaurant and Bar
131-133 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JS
The Edinburgh branch of Browns has the colonial air that the chain is renowned for, with its neutral decor enlivened by a splash of green from the palms scattered around the room. The place has a light, airy and informal feel and caters to a well-heeled…
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…
Cafe Hub
Castlehill, Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
Despite its austere, gothic exterior, the Hub has a disarmingly warm and brightly coloured interior - the glass doors open upon a large, high-ceilinged hall with pale wooden flooring, bright yellow walls and deep blue chairs. This former church is now…
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

Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
It's impossible to miss Chop Chop's bright yellow and red façade, and the décor inside is equally vibrant. The practical tables, paper napkins and simple Chinese art are subtle hints that perhaps the food is this venue's major draw. Guidance notes on…
The Courtyard
2 Bonnington Road Lane, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 5BJ
It's tucked away in what appears to be a predominantly residential neighbourhood, and the secret of the Courtyard's success isn't obvious at first glance. However, there are two factors weighing heavily in its favour - first, a clutch of office…
D'Antonio's
63 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RA
D'Antonio's is just a short distance from the eating hotspots of Leith's Shore but it's well worth strolling the extra 100 yards along the river to find. It's a civilized place that's fresh and airy, and - apart from the ceiling's exuberant plasterwork…
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…
Est Est Est
135 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JS
The pale blue neon sign and glass front on Edinburgh's swanky George Street sheds a first impression of Est Est Est as an up-tempo, up-scale hen party destination. But once you're through the doors, the horseshoe shaped booths, dark wood tables and…
The Far Pavilions
10-12 Craigleith Road, Comely Bank, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH4 2DP
The tenement blocks of Comely Bank mark the edge of the city centre, and the far pavilions visible just beyond them are the ordered avenues of suburban bungalows. This restaurant sits on the boundary between the two, with head-turning urban dishes…
La Favorita
325-331 Leith Walk, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
Situated halfway down Leith Walk, La Favorita sets itself apart from the selection of pubs, greasy spoons and random electronics shops with modern granite and glass facing, designer lighting, black and white photos of film stars, and clean, contemporary…
Filmhouse Café Bar
88 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BZ
The Filmhouse Café Bar is an Edinburgh institution, and for good reason. A handy meeting place before or after a film, the café also attracts nearby workers, families, shoppers and anyone looking for good food in a relaxed atmosphere. With comfortable…
Frankie's Restaurant
27 Bread Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AL
Located opposite the Point Hotel and just footsteps from some of Edinburgh's less salubrious drinking dens, Frankie's Restaurant is perhaps the most, if not the only, understated establishment on Bread Street. But walking past this relaxed restaurant…
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…
