BRUNCH.

Brunch in Edinburgh calls for generous plates, excellent coffee and a table you’ll want to linger at. From neighbourhood favourites serving seasonal dishes to city-centre spots made for a leisurely start, these are our picks for a slower, tastier morning.

The Palmerston

Start your morning in the West End with coffee and something freshly baked at The Palmerston, whose in-house bakery turns out bread and pastries daily. Go early, the morning service begins at 9am and becomes takeaway-only from 11am.

Greenwoods

Right in the heart of the New Town, Greenwoods serves breakfast all day. From a full Scottish to its much-loved Banana Bread Tumble. A great choice when you want generous plates without racing to beat the breakfast cut-off.

Pablo Eggs Go Bao

Breakfast, but make it bao. Pablo Eggs-Go-Bao fills fluffy bao buns with eggs, hash browns, cheese, sauces and plenty of attitude, with Edinburgh spots in Inverleith and Morningside.
