Cafés that are particularly good for lunch, or where we’ve had lunch.

Loudons – Bistro Style Lunch

Bread Baker Danielle November 19, 2015 April 25, 2017
Pear Frangipane Tart

Each month, I run a bread making class at Loudons. I am beginning to feel very much part of the family! The kitchen is always groaning with gorgeous cakes – many of which are gluten free. But of course, it is not all about cake! I went along on one…

Looking for lunch in Edinburgh’s West End?

Caroline von Schmalensee April 10, 2015 April 25, 2017
Spelt, goats cheese, butternut squash and orange salad from Soderberg.

Did I tell you I work in an office now? For five years I worked at home. I admit I loved it: the commute was 30 seconds, the dress code was casual to say the least, I didn’t have to wear shoes and lunch was always home made. but things…

Café Modern Two – treat yourself to lunch away from the bustle

Caroline von Schmalensee November 5, 2014 April 25, 2017
Goats cheese and beetroot stack. Good for you, as well as tasty.

At Edinburgh Foody, we’re fans of Heritage Portfolio, the company that runs and caters some of Edinburgh’s finest locations, like the Portrait Gallery and the Signet Library. When they asked if I wanted to review Modern Two, the restaurant at the eponymous museum, I answered an enthusiastic yes. On a…

Portrait Café at the National Portrait Gallery – Space and light

Christopher Garvie June 2, 2014 April 25, 2017
Homemade soup and sandwich makes a satisfying lunch. Café Portrait.

The old National Portrait Gallery café was a firm favourite when Caroline and I worked in the East End (this was before the gallery refit), but changed jobs mean that we are rarely around that part of town at lunchtime. We enjoyed the old café’s home-cooked feel and good selection…

Gran Caffe, Signet Library, Edinburgh

Bread Baker Danielle April 8, 2014 April 25, 2017
Chocolate, hazelnuts? Gloriously sinful

[January 2015. This cafe is currently closed] When I first came to Edinburgh, I often wondered why so many Solicitors had WS after their names on For Sale signs. It was quite some time that I discovered it meant Writers to the Signet. The Society of Writers to Her Majesty’s…

Union of Genious – how to kickstart a soup kitchen

Bread Baker Danielle February 5, 2013 April 25, 2017
Union of Genius Kickstarter

The growing demand for Union of Genius soups has prompted the plans for a commercial kitchen where they can increased the amount of soup made whilst at the same time being able to maintain the quality and the personal touch.

The Pantry, Stockbridge – out for brunch

Bread Baker Danielle January 3, 2013 April 25, 2017
Duck Egg & Beetroot Hash

I think one of my resolutions this year must be to eat more brunch. It’s that most wonderful of meals. It’s not got the heaviness of a full Scottish or English breakfast and it’s not the some how more grown up dishes of lunch. I was very happy to receive…

Please don’t eat at your desk! Enjoy your lunch in Edinburgh

Bread Baker Danielle May 9, 2011 April 25, 2017
KGs Coffee Shope

Edited March 2013 It’s great when you move jobs and you start to get to know a different part of town. I’m a firm believer in having a break at lunchtime (it really does make you that bit more productive). So where do you eat? I try to find several…

Earthy: have lunch, get your shopping

Caroline von Schmalensee March 10, 2011 April 25, 2017
The Earthy salad bowl is a bowl and a half.

Edinburgh foodies know about Earthy. I knew about it too, I just hadn’t been there until last weekend. Last weekend a friend took me to Earthy for a pudding tasting. (What else are weekends for, if not pudding tastings?) We tasted Burtree Puddings puddings, shopped for those things you can’t…
