Cafe Rouge

Delicious food with a faux-French atmosphere

43 Frederick Street
Edinburgh EH2 1EP
United Kingdom
+44 131 225 4515

This is another successful branch of the welcoming French-style chain, where the food is always well-prepared and reasonably priced. It is brimming with mirrors and Gallic art, and the atmosphere is casual yet bustling, set as it is on busy Frederick Street. The breakfast menu is excellent value and sets you up for the whole day. The extensive lunch and dinner menu offers everything from goat's cheese to seafood. If the weather is clement, you can pose and people watch whilst you sip coffee at one of the tables outside. The service is swift and courteous as well.

Kaffe Politik

Excellent breakfasts in chequered surroundings 146-148 Marchmont Road
Edinburgh EH9 1AQ
United Kingdom
+44 131 446 9873 This stylishly situated and spacious cafe affords plenty of room for relaxed conversation. The decor has a political theme and combines famous quotations and photos with huge black and white checks. Linger for a while and enjoy their large selection of specialty teas and coffees in an atmosphere of intellectual calm. It's one of the best places to eat breakfast in the city as the menu includes bacon and eggs, Belgian waffles, French toast and delicious porridge (without any lumpy bits!). The breakfast menu is available all day at the weekend and until noon during the week - there's no better way to start a busy day. They also serve fresh salads, tasty pasta dishes and sandwiches.
