Owner Insights

The exterior of Edinburgh Larder, a popular café with a black storefront featuring large windows reflecting the surrounding cityscape. The café’s logo, depicting a rooster atop a weather vane, is displayed prominently on the glass. Handwritten notices and signage are visible on the doors, adding a local and welcoming touch. The building’s historic stone façade contrasts with the modern branding.

Best Café Near the Royal Mile | The Edinburgh Larder Edinburgh


We were very sad when Salt closed down, but at least it was replaced by another of our favourite cafes, with its original branch on Blackfriars Street. Their focus is also on brunch, and dishes include chilli beef brisket benedict, or cold-smoked sea trout with homemade tattie scones, poached egg, dill creme fraiche, capers and pickled beetroot dressing. There’s also…wait for it…French toast, but made with brioche and including caramelised apple puree, creme patisserie and crumble. Hold my coat.
